IndyBlues Todds Jacket: Take II

[IndyBlues]

OK,... so I received my replacement Todd's jacket, and she is a beauty. I got it the same day as the USWings, but haven't had any time to take proper pictures,...even these aren't up to snuff, but I thought it would be only fair to get the pics out for those waiting on one of these. I plan on taking some outside, in sunlight, to get a better idea of color.

So, without further delay, here she is:

Side shot, action pleat,..in action ;D


I think it looks fantastic, and with a little break in time, it will only look better. Todd did an excellent job making a jacket that fits me like it should. The craftsmanship is supurb. The leather feels nice and soft, and as you can see in the pics, it drapes like silk. The color is really nice, and not nearly as "reddish" as it seems to come up in photos. It is a nice chocolate brown, a perfect balance between Dark Brown, and Authentic.

Thanks Todd, you hit a Grand Slam, this time around.
Kudos,
'Blues

IB,

I'm glad the second time around was the charm for you with this jacket. I think the jacket fits you perfectly. I'm really happy for you. Congrats!

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go over in the corner and cry like a baby because I want one to. ;D

WOW!!!

That, sir, is a great looking jacket! Thanks for sharing, and I'm looking forward to seeing some daylight shots as well.

FIXED!

FRIGGIN' AWESOME, BLUES! THAT'S IT! Looks sharp!

Way to go, man! Wear that thing anywhere in confidence, my friend!

Todd, you rocked this one! Not only in taking care of Blues but in what you delivered in its place as well. FANTASTIC!

Now, wasn't that worth the wait? Hell yeah! I know you're a happy man tonight, Mike. I would be.

[IndyBlues]

Thanks guys, I like this jacket alot. I just wish it wasn't so hot already. This won't get much wear until fall, it seems. That's good, though. Gives me the whole summer to shed that 20 pounds.

BTW, after looking at my photos, I just realized just how big a movie geek I really am. Sheesh.

Yeah, it kind of stinks that even if this jacket is lighter than say the Wested it's still to hot to wear out. I know if I got that I'd be wanting to wear it everywhere. Maybe when I go to order one I'll do it just before the fall so by the time I get it the weather would be just right here.

So far (other than the little hiccup with your first jacket being to big) I haven't heard one single complaint from anyone who has received their jacket. Everyone seems to be very happy.

Be proud.... very proud. Congrats on the fine looking jacket IB!

Todd is starting to churn out some really nice looking jackets at a pretty good pace now.

'Blues,

and

That's one hell of an amazing RAIDERS jacket!!! It looks perfect, no question, there is not one thing on that jacket that looks the least bit suspect to me. You said grand slam, and you ain't kidding!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome and awesome!!!!!

Now, how's it look with a fedora?

[pitfallharry]

Actually, send the jacket to me IB because I want to see how it looks with my fedora. ;D

[pastimesteve]

What a fantastic jacket and fit ya got there IB. I believe that's pretty darn close to perfection, if you ask me.

[IndyBlues]

Thanks Ken, GCR, and Pastimesteve. I plan on getting some better pics tomorrow. Possibly with a fedora. Although, the pics of me in the Wings lamb with my fedora, look a bit weird. I think the brim is indeed too narrow for my face. I can't wait to see what Marcs hat will look like on me.
Mike

BTW,....nice try, Harry. ;D

[pagey]

Terrific jacket!! :-*I'm really pleased for you that it turned out so well - not to mention very jealous!!!
Please indulge us with plenty more shots - outdoor shots too!

[aeriscanon]

Fedora? Bah! I think that A-Team "Murdock Jones" look works great on you, Blues.

Okay, okay....so the AB Deluxe is due when?

Ah, shoot....I thought maybe if I slipped that in there real quick under the radar it would act as a subliminal message and then I get the jacket in the mail in a few days. ;D ;D

Here are the results of my "wetting-down" of my Todds jacket.
I love the way the sleeves turned out, and the overall look everywhere else.

You should immediately return that wrinkled mess of a jacket. I can't believe someone would sell such a shoddy, worn in looking travesty of leather work!

Kidding, of course! I think the wrinkles add alot of character to am already awesome looking Raiders jacket. Those pockets are beautifully shaped, and just perfectly balanced to the rest of the jacket.

Congrats on taking the plunge (pun intended ),

"Taking the plunge", lol. Ya know, my son has a pool set up out front,...I may have to take a dip in my jacket, lol. Although,...the neighbors would start to talk,....even more.
