: Are the wested jackets supposed to be the same colour as the original.... I mean, mine seems to be lighter that the one indy wears in LC..... It's a new lambskin one... Any ideas of how to turn the colour darker?. Thanks

I received my new lambskin LC last week. The color of mine seems fine, but one must keep in mind that several factors can enter in to a film's image looking different than real life (lighting and screen pixel count, for example). Yours may very well be the same color, if you were standing next to Harrison Ford instead of looking at film. Also, the jacket(s) used in Last Crusade were distressed, so who knows what all was done to them.

If you would like to darken your jacket, treating it with a high-quality conditioner such as Letap or Lexol will give it a nice, deep shine. When I took my jacket out of the box, it had a VERY new look. I treated mine with Lexol and it vastly improved the look of the jacket, giving it a richer color, a nice sheen and a more lived-in fit.

I hope you are enjoying your jacket as much as I am mine!

Best wishes,
Prestor John
