My resized Crispe lamb arrived on Monday from Peter and I am very excited about it! He did an absolutely fantastic job based upon only the photos that I sent him. I am really, really impressed and I'm very happy with the Crispe lamb. It's a very nice leather that can easily be molded to hold any shape and it doesn't feel heavy at all, but like a very substantial quality leather jacket. Can't wait to have this one broken in and I've already worn it in the rain. Hats off to you Peter, thank you!

That jacket looks fantastic! I love the grain. It reminds me a lot of the jacket during the truck chase.  -Josh |

VERY cool! Awesome leather AND fit! I considered getting the crispe instead of the shrunken lamb, but thought it was too similiar to my TN shrunken lamb... and your jacket really does have that look! Amazing!

Thank you for the comments. I like that comparison with the truck chase one, which I think has a great look. Hopefully I can make this jacket look just as adventure worn as that jacket with time. Glad you guys like it.

That's for sure. It undoubtedly feels very strong. As for for the grain, it will smooth out in some places over time and look less pronounced. The jacket just needs time to settle. Thanks for the compliment, though.

Looks good. Just decided to pull the pin and order one of these myself. Seem like great value for money (if you're in the uk). It'll be my 4th Indy jacket and I'm hoping this new Hero pattern will nail the best aspects of the TNO jackets in terms of the raiders look  |

Djdindy, glad to hear you decided to get one of these. You most definitely will not be disappointed. Which hide did you decide to go with?

Oh the crispe! Not sure it's particularly SA but I like the added character and it's very like the TNO version of shrunken lamb.

Good choice of leather! The two jackets are very, very similar, from what I've seen. I believe that this particular leather, that Peter uses, is actually supposed to closely match the shrunken lamb of the TNO version. |

For what I have seen of the crispe, it is almost the same as my TNO shrunken lamb. I say almost because I can tell there are some differences, but the overall look is there.

It has a sort of snake shin look. Kinda odd to me.
