Hi, I’m Emanuele from Italy. I have already introduced myself in the bullwhip section, I am a whip collector and an aspiring whipmaker. My mother has been working in the leather industry for over 30 years and for a long time I wanted to create an Indiana Jones style jacket with her help. Finally I've done it! It's made of high quality leather and the craftmanship is worthy of Wested. Of course it's only a test, a sample that I made for myself, although if my jacket raises enough interested I might consider creating more "on demand". I'm planning to make a test sample with vintage leather soon enough. I leave you with some pictures for now. I hope you enjoy it. Many thanks

Very nice... Would you say it is more of a "Raiders" or a "Last Crusade" jacket. (shoulder yoke makes me think of "Last Crusade")

The leather looks like a G&B. Not surprising, since the Lamb G&B is made from Italian Lambskin.
What animal is this leather from?

Amazing job! It looks like an LC with a slight Raiders vibe. Well done!

I think the "slight Raiders vibe" is from the lack of snaps on the storm flap.

Yeah and also the whole vibe about it. Can't exactly point my finger on it though. But it does looks more LC than anything.

The leather is sheep. Is slightly softer to the touch than the lamb. In part, I took an jacket Wested I have. Happy to be liked.

I hope to achieve them, but now unfortunately I can't invest on all jackets. For now I can just make a of it (LC Style) on request.

Also, Lelec, what's the lining on the jacket?

So, here's what is probably on a few of our minds: how much are you going to sell them for?
