Indiana Jones Jacket

This Indiana Jones jacket was so worth waiting for. Great fit, the grain and color look spot on screen accurate and the leather has a wonderful soft feel to it.

I received my Indy jacket after waiting a whole year and it was worth it , it fits me perfectly, the leather is awsome quality, thank you Todd's Costume

I loved the smell of the leather. It was a great jacket, however; I had to return mine because of sizing issues. I like my jackets to have a little room to them, this particular jacket was more form fitting. I think it worked well with the smaller sized and not so well with the bigger sizes.

This is an excellent Indy jacket (and this is coming from a former Wested customer) The lambskin is soft, the details are screen accurate, and it really nails that dark brown color. Definitely usable as an everyday jacket and not just a costume piece. The only fault I can find (with mine, at least) is an issue with the interior lining that makes the inside pocket stick out awkwardly against my chest and pushes the left half of the coat out at strange angles, requiring frequent adjustment. It's a small price to pay, however, for such a lovely jacket.

Everything positive said in all the other reviews is true. I originally went with this version of the Indy jacket because it was one of the most affordable and got high praise on a forum. I'm considering buying another one or two for the future, just so I can have one to get rough with. The fit is perfect, the leather is beautiful, the cut is accurate, and I love everything about it. The price belies the quality. If you're on the fence, just buy one; you won't be disappointed.

To be honest, I was a bit hesitant about buying this jacket simply because I wasn't sure that it would hold up. When I bought my first Indy jacket several years ago I ended up getting a steerhide jacket from U.S. Wings because I wanted a durable jacket. I love the U.S. Wings jacket very much, but it's better suited for colder weather, so, needing a jacket for fall, I turned to Todd's. The jacket does not disappoint. It's very beautiful, has the movie accurate striations (they even looked to find one with the texture and striations where I asked for them), has a very accurate color, it's durable, and is very comfortable for cool weather. It's definitely worth the money.

For those that want to “cut to the chase” I’ll jump to the end and tell you that I love this jacket. For more details about build quality and sizing read on. I have been a big fan of the Indiana Jones franchise since seeing the original “Raiders of the Lost Ark” movie back in 1981. I knew then that I wanted a jacket like the one worn in the movie. I was not looking to wear it as part of a costume but wanted a quality jacket I could wear every day. As many of the other reviewers have stated, and I agree, this is not a costume item. Some have commented that it is more of a spring/fall jacket and while that is probably true I feel that it is still quite substantial maybe that is because it is obviously very well made. It’s a great buy for the price and seems like it is as close as I have seen to the movie jacket which is what we are all going for anyway right? When I first received the jacket I, like some others, thought that it was a little short but after checking out the movie again and some images on-line I realized that this is how it is supposed to look. Indy purist can correct me if I am wrong but I believe that it is based originally on a motorcycle jacket design so it is meant to be a bit shorter. I have been wearing it now for a while and the length of the jacket has grown on me. Not literally but you know what I mean, after wearing it a bit I love the length and would not change a thing. At the time I ordered it I was most concerned about sizing so I’ll relate what worked for me: I did what Todd recommended and simply ordered what I normally wear. I ordered a medium. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh about 175 pounds. I normally wear a size 42 Regular suit jacket and this fit nicely. The shoulder length was perfect with shoulder seams hanging about two inches off of each shoulder. The sleeve length was nice with the sleeves ending just about at the base of the thumb. The hem (back) of the jacket hits me about an inch and a half below the bottom of the belt loops on my (standard Levis) jeans. About the on-line specs: when I got the jacket I compared the actual measurements to the sizing specs listed on Todd’s site and they matched exactly so if you use that as a guide you should be good. All in all a great jacket at a great price with a great look. I’m extremely pleased with this purchase.

The jacket turned out great! It arrived very quickly soon after I ordered it. I liked how it drapes well, and it feels soft to handle. I had to get used to the shortness of it (it's supposed to look that way), but I'm getting comfortable with it. Though it's a light jacket, it's certainly functional, not just a mere costume. Now the next thing is to have it get that "distressed" look, and get more Todd's offerings...Indy pants, perhaps? :D

This is a beautiful jacket, not a costume jacket. The leather is great, the stiching is quality and it looks damm good on me!
