Let's face it everybody, nobody is ever going to have a "real" Indiana
Jones Jacket. Harrison Ford only wore one or maybe two in each movie.
Those are the only "authentic" Indiana Jones jackets. And as we know,
the jacket was different in each movie. They couldn't even stay
"authentic" (whatever that means) from movie to movie. In my opinion,
each jacket in each movie was the luck of the draw. If you buy a
military A-2 or G1 today, they have slight differences from
manufacturer to manufacturer. When they were produced closest to
inception, right before World War 2, this was also the case. Although
the A2 only had a spec. sheet, the G1 had a design blueprint that was
pages long, and still you had variation. I own "Indy" jackets from
both US wings & Wested. I also own an A2 that I bought from Flight
Suits that I've had for ten years. They are all quality garments. I
think everyone would be happier if they "owned" up to the fact that
they are never going to have a jacket from the movie. The info on the
jacket makers is out there. Everyone should make up their own mind as
to what to buy! Don't forget that these companies are providing a
service to all of us. It is not their fault that we fans have built
this jacket up in our own minds into something that is almost
unobtainable. Stop giving them such a h
