What model are you getting? Asking for a friend...All of the sudden...Thedi Olive Deerskin...
Sounds catchy like a doomsday cult anthem.I only have one jacket planned for 2019 and it should arrive soon.
What I'm hoping this year will bring in is a LL Dominator, Aero Moonshiner and an Indiana Jones jacket. Aero used to make Indy jacket so I'm thinking that in CX. Won't be the most accurate repro out there but in CX, I'd definitely be the prettiest.
Other than that, IH blanket lined Lee 101J but that's practially already on the way.
The Indy jacket was basically modeled on A-2 with the knits cut off, but crucially also had a very deep bi-swing added to the back - as in you could push your hand in beyond the wrist - and had waist level D-rings added and the cinch belts pulled tight as possible to create that 'super hero V-shape.
I only know this to be the case because I spoke to Deborah Landis, who designed the original jacket, walked me through the process - pushing her hand into the back of my Aero LBH's bi-swing to illustrate the point. It was a very entertaining conversation!
if somehow there is alternate universe, and Indy shows up here posting photo in WJAYWT thread, some will call him out saying the jacket is at least 2 sizes too big, and how he wear a center zip jacket like a car coat.
the last movie triggers the same feeling with rambo franchise... granpa pleasePeople have done this for years. In the last film Harrison Ford looks like an ageing cosplay Indy wannabe, dressed in an ill fitting, way too large repro jacket. The original jacket was a 1980's idea and fits loose. I don't mind that, but it is at odds with the short, trim jackets that have often become the house style here.
Man I've been eyeing on IH mountain parkas!! And yours look perfect.My only jacket purchase this year is an Iron Heart IHJ-65 Mountain Parka.

I need to chase up John Chapman to see whether anything is happening with my long-lost order. I've also been having a chat to Eli at Himel Bros about a possible jacket as a plan B, which would probably be an Arrowhead, Frobisher, or Kensington.
Why the Indy jacket? I have one in goat which I rarely wear. The only thing about Indy's is they drape better in capeskin or lamb since the movie jacket is a really ultra-light wind-breaker style. A thick Indy will radically change the look. Not that there's anything wrong with this.

How do they fit? Are the generously cut or trim cut?
The newly released ventile mountain parkas look gorgeous as well. A bit pricey though
I’ve always loathed the Indy jacket. Even as a kid I thought it made him look 20 years older and somehow less capable.
I know it’s a popular style but I never cared for the huge cargo pockets and the oversized fit. I loved the movies and that character but I always thought, even as a kid, Kurt Russel looked like more a bad ass in EFNY. Which was a horrible movie really. But his jacket was way cooler.That's an interesting reaction, ton.
