: 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 hard time.
Cheers
