Todd's Indy Jacket

[Ragingblues]

Sounds good and I know many folks around here are looking forward to seeing them!

It seems like you have been through the wringer with all sorts of complications on this project Todd. I hope it pays off quickly with many sales!

As Grand Moff Tarkin once said, "This had better work, Darth."


Yes, looking forward to those pics, Todd! I, too, hope the delays, snags, and changes result in a jacket that sells well for you.

And a big shout out to G-Mann for jumping in on one of these first for the rest of us!

[pitfallharry]

Wow, G-Mann might get his by Christmas!

[todd]

Sorry, guys. The day got out of hand and I ran out of time. Monday AM I'll do the photos and post them immediately. Have a good weekend, all!

BTW, I think it looks great - I can't wait to hear what you think.

Todd,

Thank you for the update. I am glad the most recent prototype came out correct. I'll be looking forward to the pics on Monday.

Cheers,
G-MANN

I agree with IndyBlues........Noooooooooo! Arggh, I can't wait until Monday! ;D

Well, I guess we have no choice. Looking forward to seeing it Todd.

[pitfallharry]

Well, it's Monday and it's in the AM? Where are the pics? I can't take the suspense....it's killing me! ;D

"What's so important? What's he carrying?"

"The digital printouts of that pleat spacing. I only hope the jacket's in tact when it gets there. It's not over yet...."

"It is for me, sister! Look. I ain't in this for your rebellion and I ain't in it for you. I'm in it cause it's Monday. I expect this jacket to be well made." - Han Solo? (Episode IV)

Tone,

Great GIF ;D

And warranted too

;D Glad you like that one, G-Mann. It's kinda theraputic in a way, isn't it?

[Deleted]

Yes it is theraputic, and quite accurate from my point of view.

Cheers,

Sorry guys. It's been hard to get this done.

Here are pics of the latest version. They missed the "x" stitch on the rear strap - a little confusion since I didn't want it on the front strap. It will come with the "x". Other than that, there are a few more tweaks, but none that show in the pictures. I wore this one for a few days, and aready nice wrinkles were starting to set in.



Sorry this message is so large - I'm not sure how to make those pictures go side by side. Anyway, I've gotta run. I'll check in tomorrow to see what you think about it.

Looks good... looks good!

[indianatone]

Anybody else here REALLY LIKE the way that looks?

I do. Talk about something fitting the bill off-the-shelf!
Todd, I think you pulled the large picture file link of the back angle of the jacket.

Can you please tell me if the strap configuration is such that the pulls naturally end up facing backward? Or is that a double-back slip job in the picture?

I really like this thing so far!

Sorry, CJ. Just saw that you posted that. Anybody, including CJ and myself think that looks really good?

[Deleted]

Todd,

Thank you so much for the pics. The jacket looks just like I had hoped it would. I think you are going to sell a lot of these.

Now I am really excited about being the 1st person to receive one.

Cheers,
G-MANN

Bravo Todd!!

I think this jacket looks incredible man!

The design seems to have everything.. the rounded smaller pockets with a nicely scalloped flap, the underarm gussets, the high back yoke seam, etc... but the huge winner IMO is... that sweet, wrinkly, drapey looking leather that isn't too shiney or too thick, and looks like it's already broken in! It even looks alot better than the original protptype design you posted photos of, and that is really saying something.

I think this is going to be a HUGE success, and I can't wait until I have the extra money to pick one of these beauties up!! I know you have been through alot with this project Todd, but I believe it has been worth it.

Big congrats on a fine job,

Ken

[indianatone]

What they said!

Todd, I think you're going to run out of stock on the first batch pretty quickly by the looks of that thing!

[GCR]

It looks good, it looks very, very good...

I especially like that nice wrinkley look and the SILVER zipper!

I used to swear I'd never buy another Indy jacket other than Wested. And while I still love my Wested and will undoubtedly buy another in the future, after lookin' at these pics of Todd's jacket, I'm definitely thinking my closet is big enough for more than one Indy Jacket!

Bravo

[pitfallharry]

Wow, that is a nice looking jacket.

I can't say anything about how accurate it is because I don't know much about the specs for the Indy jacket.

I will say that if I get a second Indy jacket it looks like this might be it. It's to bad I don't have the money for the special "launch" price your offering it at. Are you going to offer any special discounts for Lounge members in the future? ;D

The color of the leather is what really sells it for me. It's not to light or dark.

It's good to know there is a second affordable option that's right here in the states.

SWEET jacket, Todd!

I have to agree with everyone else's comments. That's a great looking jacket. Color, texture, proportions, all of the details definately add up to a great looking Raiders jacket!
