: And yes, of course, I visited Noel Howard and Herbert Johnson's. Mr. Howard and his staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. When I asked if he still had anything from The Movie, he laughed and came back with Harrison Ford's costume -- jacket, pants, shirt, and boots!

: Contrary to another post I read some time ago, the jacket was not "ripped up" -- although the seams on the arms were open in a few places and the *satin* lining inside had a few holes and tears. The zipper was silver. And the only other difference from my Wested was that instead of brass rings, the side straps were held together by silver buckles -- rather like the one the Mark VII bag strap. The jacket's leather also had a kind of strange feel to it -- as if it had been taken for a swim or oiled or something.

Dirk,

Which movie was this jacket used in? Was it lambskin or lambhide? Did you notice any press studs on the storm flap? Did you take any pictures? I would love to know more details. According to Mr. Howard, they did use some mink oil in the distressing of the leather jackets.

Cheers,
Abner
