: : Hey people: I am going to buy a leather jacket at Indy gear, but there are so many dang jackets to choose from. Can someone help me out? Which is the most popular one? Authentic, etc.?

: You cannot buy jackets at IndyGear, they only compare gear provided by other people...they do tell you where you can get all the gear. As far as being authentic, I here the flightsuit jackets are the best, and the most expensive. Wested are good, come with a cirificate of authenticity, but the stitching isn't the greatest, and the lambskin is paper thin. Cooper are not all that authentic, but are more rugged than the Wested...and cheaper. So it really depends on what you want to use the jacket for and how authentic you want it to look. -DF

The US Wings/Coopers are more authentic to the Temple of Doom jacket than any of the other jackets out there. They are more expensive than a Wested, but will last you a long time. My favorite is their kangaroo skin Indy Jones jacket - like wearing an old comfortable Levi jacket. Anyway, check out US Wings web site. FS will be coming up soon with an update that will show the jacket, and I hear Wested is revamoping theirs as well.

Cheers!
