    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    Tom Selleck was originally cast to play "Indiana Jones" (and Sean Young as "Marion") but due to contractual obligations with CBS and the "Magnum P.I." filming schedule, he had to drop out of the project. I wonder if the character (and the movie franchise) would have been as iconic with someone...

    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    There's a Lost Worlds russet horsehide A-2 in size 34 on their "sales" page for $425 (they normally run $1,000+). If you're not familiar with LW just check their website. Definitely one of the premier makers of leather jackets. They are not over-sized and blousey nor are they...

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    How about pre-WWII? Ford. IBM. Bayer. Many U.S. companies did business with Germany right up to 1941. It gets complicated.

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    "Ah, the rumoured extra twelve seconds that solved the Submarine Controversy? The easy answer is that they just didn't dive before they got the the base. AFAIK, subs only tend to dive when they need to stay hidden. If they weren't in unfriendly waters or otherwise under threat, no need to."...

    @DD, if you go to Indy Gear/Club Obi Wan, you may go into full melt-down. Those guys in COW are hard-core Indy-philes!!! :eeek:

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    For a minute there I thought I read that he never watched the Indiana Jones movies, but that's impossible.

    New Bill Kelso - Custom Aeronaut In Russet Liberty Horsehide

    Saw this on the BK Facebook page: it's called the "Campus". Basically an aeronaut with slash hand-warmer pockets.

    Q1 2015 Jackets 4 of 5 - Aero A-2 (44") "Burmah Bridge Busters"

    This might look good on the back (leather Burmese blood chit), if you were looking to add anything to the back. Sometimes "less is more" and not everyone wants a completely patched up A-2 (too "Top Gun" I suppose). Good looking jacket as-is!

    Buzz Rickson's William Gibson L-2B Light Flying Jacket, Black

    Love that jacket Charles! Very nice. The whole William Gibson line is of keen interest and I am sorely tempted to grab a William Gibson MA-1 for springtime.

    Lawless Denim

    For the record, the 50% issue was all sorted out with my order. The invoice/packing slip showed full price but afew e-mails to LD and it turns out I was only charged half the invoice/full price. Kahla (the customer service rep who replied to my e-mails) was very courteous and informative and...

    New LW Ryder

    LW does make a G-1,which has a bi-swing back, but I've never seen that feature incorporated on any of his other models. Stu really knows his leather and makes a superb product. I own afew LW jackets and they are a marvel of design, quality and production. The goatskin is just as nice as the HH...

    Lawless Denim

    My order was also placed on Nov. 3 and it was #287. The jeans arrived at the end of March. I had also placed a second order about a week after the first and it's in the 1,200's! Probably be a long, long time before that order arrives. Still haven't heard anything back about not getting the 50%...

    Bill Kelso Westfall in Black Liberty HH

    From the BK Facebook page: "We don't touch the sleeves and on most people the jackets look OK, on few others they look big. Conclusion? Some have thin arms/small hands. We could make smaller cuffs that on average would look OK on everyone but we wouldn't like to mess with the original patterns...
