Re: SOLD OUT! [Kato's Work + Sean Job] Indy's Jacket pre-order
That's a great idea
Thanks, they're actually the soundtrack LP's.

Agreed, and is it's darker instead of lighter, this new material might actually be better!
I didn't get that impression from Kato's statement that he can get it close to the original jacket color. One can stain and dye leather darker but making it lighter doesn't work so well. For me, "close enough" or "almost as good" doesn't work for Indy's jacket. I know Kato's tailoring will be high quality no matter the material, but I had hoped to be able to weather it myself with screen accurate distressing, like painting Bryan Cranston's exact age spot pattern instead of random "similar" age spots. Maybe Raider's material will be found some day, but it's been 4 years since this first jacket version was offered. Oh well. We'll wait for the comparison pics, just conjecture till then.
But the material will undoubtedly be lighter than is accurate for Raiders, right? The original material is a lot lighter than it should be. So my thinking is that you'll be able to apply the techniques you're hoping to bring it to the right shade. And those that are not going to do any modding, might benefit from the stock jacket being a darker color.
Maybe a comparison with all 3?
otherwise you will still be asked for a previous V's new...
You may find that in the below picture I can add any tone on the leather, from red brown to dark olive brown
It is almost very hard (even not possible ) to make a dark color leather become lighter in shade. But it is very easy to appy any darker color on the light color lighter.
I hv pointed out the original leather color and texture with a pen :
Acutally the new leather, after adding the color in my way, is actually very close to the movie one ( which is something between dark brown and dark olive)
Kato, I love your work and you are my favorite tailor, but I have not seen a 1/6 jacket that looks like this. The leather is so thin. Hopefully, one day. If anyone can do it, I believe in you.
No problem, I will delete yr name in the list.
Anyone want to cancel there name in the list pls tell me asap.
I didn't asked to be deleted. Please add me back. Could you please post a comparison picture of this new jacket leather version when you get the chance? I think we'd all like to see what this jacket looks like compared to the first jacket. Thank you. Much appreciated.
It seems I don't really get yr meaning sorry! (The leather of real indy jacket in the movie is not that thick )
No problem, I will delete yr name in the list.
