It looks like an Indy jacket to me! Perhaps a Wested??

This pic is from june 2003 btw

Probably is. He keeps a standing order for a Raiders lambskin at Wested, and usually picks one up about once a year or so. Regards. Michaelson

Who knows? Probably gives them up for charity, or maybe that explains why there are so many hanging on racks at the Lucasfilm warehouse.

That is interesting! I believe I've heard talk of Harrison's Flightsuits Expedition but I never knew about Spielberg's standing order. Michaelson, you are forever a treasure trove of knowledge.

Is that the case with Lucas too perhaps?
I saw a short glimpse of what could have been a Wested in a documentary about the Star Wars phenomenon, just a split second of him wearing a very familiar jacket. It could have been a Flightsuits on the other hand.

The pic doesn't seem to be working now?

However, on the DVD documentaries and the bestbuy bonus disc, Lucas and Spielberg are clearly wearing forerunners of today's 'Wested' jackets, so I assume both men were measured up by Peter at the time of production?

I'm sure someone will be able to clarify this point for me.

As Spielberg continues his association with Wested, this leads me to hope that should a fourth Indy movie go into production, Wested would again be contracted to produce the new jacket for Ford.

Would Lucas's current licensing deals influence the choice of supplier?

I sincerely hope Wested and all the original crew and suppliers would be involved in Indy IV (should it ever transpire).

They better not tarry. The original folks are either retiring from the business, closing shop (as in MBA's case), or dying.

Maybe we'll have a C.G.I. crew then?

Bite your tongue, Michaelson!

While I realize there will still be quite a trade in used jackets, I hold out hope for a long time of Wested production, and Peter's continuing good health! (Knock on wood!)

Cordially,
Lord Clarence

Well, there's always Optimo for the fed and, like Lord_Clarence mentioned, Peter's still in good health and he has the ongoing relationship with Spielberg.

Let's get Indy IV made, huh?! Waiting for this film is like waiting for my next jacket (and we all know how that can be).

I'm not talking just about vendors. I'm talking about the original production folks too! You can always replace them as well, but the original heart and soul of the character are being lost to the ages from atrition. (wow,a big, probably mis-spelled word for this early in the morning!

)Regards. Michaelson

Atrition - isn't that someplace near Kansas?

Just kidding...

If you look at the backside of the bonusdisc-case, you can see a pic of spielberg on the set of LC, where he is actually wearing a LC jacket.
If it was his own or just a jacket being left over, it doesnt tell

ob1al · Post by **ob1al** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 3:30 pm

It's got to be his own, surely. Spielberg is quite a small guy, at least smaller than Harrison and the stunt guys, so their jackets wouldn't fit him.

Michaelson's point regarding Spielberg having a regular order with Wested suggests to me that both Spielberg (and possibly Lucas) had jackets tailor-made by Peter.

I'm sure Peter could clarify this in a jiffy, if he happens to see this post.

That's pretty cool... Now we need to see if we can get Steven to start wearing a fedora! How great would that be to see Steven Spielberg walkin' around with a Wested and an Akubra? Do you guys think that might be symbolic of something, maybe a hint at Indy IV?

I can't imagine Senor Spielbergo ever giving up his baseball cap. Ever since I remember, he always has some sort of ball cap on with a t-shirt of whatever movie he's working on. Considering the amount of money he must have, it's impressive that he never left his roots, at least as far as his attire is concerned.

Nah, it's not so much about sticking to his roots. He simply hasn't got quite as much style and class....

...as us!

Amen to that!
