I have always wanted a great Indy jacket and I looked and looked and read reviews and did a lot of watching for what all of the makers manufactured and decided that I would go with Steele and Jones for my first real Indy jacket. I always admired the jacket in Raiders so I went with a medium cowhide jacket with mild distressing just to mainly highlight the pockets, collar, storm flap and knock a little of the newness off of the leather. It is a main hero Cazadora '36. From start to finish the process was just a dream. I was able to communicate through email with very little delay, Diego asked questions and actually cared about what I wanted and made the whole process easy. I did go for the mockup jacket just to make sure the fit was right which was just an awesome service to offer especially since I live in Texas and that is a long way from Argentina. The last thing I wanted was sizing issues. We got the sizing right and in a couple of months the Jacket was at my door. When I pulled it out of the box, I thought that the leather was lambskin it was so soft. (mind you I do not have tons of experience when it comes to leather). Some time went on and I noticed that on one of my straps the stitching that holds the strap to the jacket body was beginning to come loose and I contacted Diego. He had me send the jacket back to him and he went through, re-sewed and reinforced the straps and all I paid was half of the return shipping to me and it was fast too. Let me tell you, if you are out there looking for a jacket, you cannot go wrong with Steele and Jones. Their love for the films, their dedication to getting the jackets right and the excellent customer service will not leave you disappointed.

I think it was about 2 years ago I purchased a Steele & Jones Last Crusade jacket. Diego just nailed it! Finally- a jacket that nailed the look that I wanted a fit me like a dream. The only issue that I had was the lining ripped somehow almost immediately after I got it. Not a big deal, especially since I don’t know how it happened and it totally could have been something that I did that would have made any lining rip.

Even given that, I recommend them above every jacket manufacturer I've owned. I've owned Gibson & Barnes, Wested and US Wings and Steele and Jones is by far the best.
