Hi guys,
As well as making jackets, I recently bought one! Not vintage, and not military. I finally succumbed and bought an 'Indy' jacket. As much as I love the films, I bought the jacket from a practical point of view. I love wearing my 1950s Cagleco G-1, but sometimes the waistband makes it not too practical, so I wanted to get something without knitted cuffs and waistband.
I had a little money put to one side from my Birthday, so I took the plunge and ordered one from Wested. I'm really happy with the jacket - it fits well and is exactly what I was looking for (a fairly lightweight jacket that can just be thrown on before heading out the door).
It's definitely vintage 'inspired', owing a lot to the A-2, and the fit feels quite vintage. I changed the zip when it arrived for a Talon, as the YKK was a bit cheap looking. Overall, I think it's a nice, inexpensive everyday jacket. It's already showing a bit more character after being worn.
Cheers,
Jon
