In Reply to: Flight Suits is ready to take orders for the new jacket! posted by Patterson on September 07, 2000 at 18:09:02:

: Brody and I met with them this morning to cover the last details of the new jacket. Every detail has been nailed down, checked-out, and they are ready to begin taking orders. Now the details:

: First of all, the lambskin version is going to be more expensive then we had anticipated, but hold tight, don’t freak-out, and listen calmly to what you get. The base price on the lambskin will be $428, with an additional $30 for sizes over 48. Honestly, I was a bit let down when I heard the price - I think I heard a slight groan from my wallet. But after looking at what you get, I think you’ll it is money well spent.

: What do you get? Aside form the only jacket out there built to match the detail from an original Raiders jacket actually used in the movie? Well, you get a jacket that uses mil-spec materials, computer maintained patterns to insure consistent sizing and proportions, and the finest lambskin I’ve ever seen - except for a little $900-job my wife has been eyeing at Nordstrom’s for the last few weeks. Seriously, we laid the Flight Suit jacket side by side with the Wested lambskin Brody brought along. If the Wested is worth $250, then the Flight Suit is easily worth every cent of $500.

: And get this – if you don’t like your jacket, you get 6 months to wear it. If you still don’t think you’ve received your money’s worth, return it for an exchange or a full refund of your purchase price. Custom orders are exchange only, I believe – verify that with Flight Suits. Who else is going to do that for you?

: Custom sizing is available, but again you’ll need to get the cost of that from them. Pricing and availability on the horsehide version has not been set.

: There – that’s it! Hey, Michaelson and Brody – what are we going to’ tackle next? Hey, maybe a reproduction of the Raiders’ revolver? Hmmmm.

: Cheers!

: Patterson

500 for that...wow,i tought the US Wings jacket was much! no thanks,i'm sticking with my Wested and US Wings jackets.
