Not a bad looking jacket, for the $150 pricetag. More of an A-2, but with a nice beat up Indy look to it. I'm thinking if it's warm, I'll pick one up for a work jacket. At that price, who cares what happens to it. 'Blues  |

I just saw this jacket at the store the other day when I picked up my second "Indy shirt".
I took a quick glance at it because it reminded me a little of Indy's jacket. I missed the price though. I guess $150 isn't to bad and it is kind of cool. For some reason it also reminds me of Fonzie's jacket from Happy Days.

I saw this the other day also. It looks alright in the picture but a lot lighter in person.

I'm not crazy about the look of the fitted sleeves and waist, but I can see their benefit on really cold days.  The overall look of the jacket is really cool though! I like the color and slightly worn look of it too. Ken |

This is in the style of a fashion designer at the moment who does heavily distressed jackets. His ones are very expensive @ $2000 plus. The big movie stars have been seen sporting them Ewan Mcgregor etc... But I can't remember his name.
I like the distressing job they've done on the jacket. Old Navy seem very good at that! I bet the people who work on them in India and Miranmar think we are crazy and decadent to want our clothes to look old!

I used to have one very similar but with the Indy Collar. This one reminds of a WolverIndy Hybrid.
Nice find 'Blues'
Cheers,

I went and checked it out in person. Unfortunately none in my size left, so Icouldn't try it on for fit. If you look close at the right side of the chest in that pic, where it is heavily distressed, you will see a very pebbley grain. The entire jacket looked like that, not as smooth as in the pic. Still, would have made a great work jacket for me.
Speaking of sizing,...since I lost 40 pounds(with about 25 more to go) I am in a weird "in-between" sizing place. 2XL is way to big, and XL still feels a bit too snug. I have a feeling after all is said and done, XL will be my new size. Sucks for now tho.

Even though the sizing thing is an issue at this time, you have done yourself a BIG favor losing that weight. More than worth the sizing problem. Congrats on the weight loss , John |

Thank you, kind sirs.  I am well on my way to better health, AND better physical appearance. I was never obese, just big. "King of Queens guy" big. I am glad I decided to do this. No reason to carry all that extra weight around. It's funny, when I lost the first 30 pounds,...I took a stack of weights, equal to 30 lbs, stuck them in a backpack, and walked around with it for a bit. Amazing that I was carrying that much "extra" weight around for so long. Well, no worries. When I reach my initial goal of 200 lbs, I will let you know. After 200, I'm aiming for 180. That will be my fighting weight, like when I got out of the Army. Let's see if I can make it.  'Blues |
