![]() ![]() I definitely agree Belstaff priced it ludicrously at full retail. I actually just finished applying Allen Edmonds conditioner cleaner to the jacket a few minutes ago and it is supple and darker now like I wanted. The comparison thread I posted earlier did note the Nowak jacket has about a 1" large armhole, so I like the smaller armhole of the Belstaff for ease of movement. It is a lighter jacket that is very comfortable. But I am overall pleased with the Belstaff jacket so far. It would have been nice to get a jacket from Nowak when he was still around. Hardwearing and highly abrasion resistant yet supple and lighter. Goatskin is the hide that is most appropriate in my opinion. I think cowhide is still heavy and stiff for Indy running around on his adventures. My guess is some sort of buffalo or kangaroo leather? Don't think it's tough enough to be taking serious beatings. Have you owned both the Nowak and Belstaff before Seb? Do you know what kind of leather is used on the Belstaff? I can't put my finger on it.seems too light/thin to be cowhide, not luxurious enough for lambskin, and the grain is not goatskin. Length: 26.5" (collar seam to bottom down the back)Ĭlick to expand.I have heard similar thoughts between the two jackets. ![]() Not worth the $2000 original retail price of course, but it's worth considering if you can find one for more than 50% off and are a die hard Indy fan like me. ![]() I think it's a great jacket and the quality is excellent! It's not a heavy weight jacket so it can be worn as a 3 season jacket. I normally take an XL in most Belstaff jackets due to their slim cuts, but I took a chance on a large based on the 1-2 brief fit reviews out there saying it fits on the large size.įeel free to let me know what you think of the look and fit! There looks to be at least an inch extra material available. The sleeves are a bit short, but I think with the way it's constructed I can have my tailor let the sleeves down. It just came in the mail today so I am posting some fit pictures and measurements as an FYI.
