Before you buy anything, look here... And look into reviews, there are a few.
More money that a Wested, but hell.... This is THE jacket.

For any interested I checked and I was wrong about the size of my bought as new TOD Indiana Jones jacket that I no longer fit in. It is a 46 not a 48. Probably why I don't fit in it anymore and never really wore it.
Measurements are as follows.

22 1/2 inches (full front length, No collar stand)

7 3/8 inch shoulder length

25 1/2 inches both sleeves

24 1/2" pit to pit

25 1/2 inches (back length, no collar stand)


Here are pics too so let me know if anyone has an interest.

FYI - I agree with peoples opinions on the Steele and Jones Jackets

I have a Raiders and a Temple of Doom jacket and love them both. If you have the budget and can afford the wait it is worth it. Here are mine.

Hi there, this is my first post here, I came from Club Obi Wan at indygear. I've been wearing indy jackets from Wested since 2009. My current one is the washed goat hero Raiders version and I love it. I gave it the hot water treatment and rubbed it well with pecards after it dried up.

In the background is my Wested Legacy Hero jacket - the thickest lambskin jacket I've ever had. Truly ******proof!

Welcome to the lounge! I also am a Club Obi-Wan member and own 4 Indy jackets, 3 from Wested and 1 from Kelso

Both look fantastic but the Destiny's leather, oh boy, it's gorgeous! Congrats!

Thanks. The Raiders Hero I have is shrunken lamb and the Kelso Hawaii is in ribby lamb. I will try to take some pics for you soon, but it’s raining today.

It would be great to compare them. Are they all the same size?

The Destiny was a fantastic reimagining of the original Indy jacket after a lot of folks didn't care so much for what they did with the design in Crystal Skull. I'm halfway tempted by one myself (complete with ******-hole repair, of course), but I'm still wary of lamb (the only hide Wested seem to offer it in). Like a few things in their line, I might be won over if I handled it first - such a shame the retail store is now a thing of the past.
