is it just another "Indy" jacket?

anyone seen one in person?

searched under "roughneck" and "oil driller" and was surprised nothing turned up....

I think it looks the part, but it's a very poor photograph. I wouldn't expect too much at that price though.

Seems pricey if it is not good quality.

It looks good and is a pretty good reproduction of the vintage look. As for roughnecks or not, I can't say. But it is a good work jacket style.

if you're looking for a jacket like that you might want to visit Wested's or Aero's websites ... Aero's Longshoreman has the same style and, as all their products, is of superb quality

For approx $100 more you can buy an Aero Long HalfBelt which is exceptional quality and practically the same style...
Check their website...http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/...ge?page=displayproduct&subcatid=39&prodid=768

...or their shorter Half Belt Deluxe.....http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/...age?page=displayproduct&subcatid=39&prodid=12

thanks.

this wasn't really a potential buy. just happened across it and was surprised that i'd not heard of it here before. i figured a quality point on par with US Wings or maybe a notch higher.

the marketing reads like a J. Peterman ad.

Because no one would wear something like that. Roughnecks wear overalls or jeans and shirts. Plus that thing would get shredded in days in the oil patch.

It's more like the "Company Man" jacket.
