Steele & Jones Cazadora '35 Temple of Doom Jacket Review

[@Serpicorider]

The channel I didn’t think I needed until now

[@riserindy]

Hahaha. Why is this now my favorite compliment? Thanks for joining in my madness. Cheers!

[@joaozitoookaboom]

As we all know, Ford went through a complete body transformation from raiders to temple. The fact that he had some shirtless takes they need him to be fit (the did briefly in raiders too). Maybe the tight jacket was on purpose to show a tougher Jones. That or they just had raiders measurements.Great vid!

[@riserindy]

Thank you! It could also be the extreme hear and humidity. Leather shrinks if you get it wet and bake it in the sun.

HI Daniel! Thank you so much for this review!!!! Fantastic video. Enjoy your jacket!🤠

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching, Diego! I look forward to reviewing my LC jacket next month. Cheers!

[@willyegger4488]

Hey dear Daniel, RiserIndy, That is a very well made revue about that specific Indy leather jacket. I admire your accurate eye and knowledge about the details. Also your editing of the video with the short original scenes from the second Indy movie is outstanding. Respect, bro! Wonderful video, and it's always a great pleasure to watch and listen to you! Keep on rocking your Indy gear! Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.

[@riserindy]

Thank you for the kind words, Willy! I’m so glad it was entertaining and informative. I hope to make bigger and better stuff in the future.

Loved your video. Amazing detail on the entire ins and outs of this piece. Thank you - getting mine soon!

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching! What jacket did you go with?

[@FutureBoyBTTF]

Your videos are great and informative, thx. I bought a Wested but you have convinced me and I am ordering a TLC Steele and Jones too!

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching, Future Boy! My SJ LC should be here sometime next month, I think so keep an eye out for that review!

[@RonXsilva]

I got my ToD from Diego about a month ago and I agree the attention to detail from S&J is amazing they really put a lot of love into their work!

[@riserindy]

Awesome! What did you go with? (Leather/ cut, etc…)

[@RonXsilva]

@@riserindy I went with the lamb skin and love the grainy feel it gives with the distress. Also the sizing was from the early part of the movie the non tight version. Plus it’s fits me perfectly. So far it is my fav jacket

[@riserindy]

Fantastic! I'd love to see pics. Send them to me on IG if you're willing. Cheers!@@RonXsilva

[@RonXsilva]

@@riserindy sure I’ll send some IG

[@tasken_lander_redux4775]

Thank you for this review; jacket looks phenomenal! I am presently next in their queue to have a Cazadora '35 made in lambskin. I'm pretty thin so am leaning towards their 'end scene' jacket like you. Thoughts? Thank you in advance!

[@riserindy]

Hey! I’m pretty sure you’re Arch, if so you already know my thoughts BUT in case it’s not I would say if you’re thin then I’d DEFINITELY go with end scene. A slimmer cut Indy jacket will look better on a slender frame. I’m a really thin guy too. I wear a 36 chest and the end scene is perfect for me. Makes my Raiders and LC feel like tents. Haha.

[@Ravenwood1936]

really digging the temple of doom stuff! Awesome vid Daniel!

[@riserindy]

Thanks so much! I love it too!

[@dougd4917]

Do you think the raiders jacket would have these brilliant undertones if it was in cowhide? This is probably my favorite jacket just because the distressing is so rugged yet not over-done

[@riserindy]

Hi! Thank you for watching. Every skin will have different colored undertones. It’s a result of the tanning and dying process. Having said that, I love the thin cowhide of my S&J temple jacket and would have no problem having a Raiders jacket made from this skin.

[@bertrandlagacherie9050]

Diego is the best. And such a gentleman. I have a Raider one and I am so happy with it. And the mock up jacket is such a good option.

[@riserindy]

Diego IS the best! Very happy with his customer service.

[@TwoMoon71]

Absolutely LOVE S&J - they are awesome.

[@riserindy]

I definitely agree

[@gustavogirotto]

Damn, this is making me want to order one! 😆 Did you get samples of the leather options before deciding between cow and lamb?

[@riserindy]

I did not. I just knew I loved the look of the undertones on the lightweight cow, and Diego endorsed it.

[@gustavogirotto]

@@riserindy Nice. Thanks for the help and for another great video! ;)

[@thejanitor9902]

I've been waiting since midway through this year for my Steele and Jones Ravenwood bar jacket, its arriving next Feb, quite exciting times! The Doom looks fantastic, great work Diego and great video Daniel!

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching and congratulations! It will be worth the wait!

[@thejanitor9902]

@@riserindyDoing the final adjustments now! So excited!

[@chrisallegre2897]

I was curious how long it took to get after you ordered it? Does it vary or have your 3 jackets from them been pretty consistent time wise?

[@riserindy]

Hi! It all depends on their lead time. Sometimes they don’t have a lot of orders in the queue. Unfortunately, because of Dial of Destiny, their lead times are unusually long, but don’t let that stop you. I’ve waited 8 months and was just as happy as when I waited half that time. They make a great product that fits perfect, so long as you follow their detailed instructions. Thanks for watching!

[@Vincent.Morreale]

Such a nice jacket ! Can't wait to pull the trigger on the Raiders one.

[@riserindy]

You won’t be disappointed. Which Raiders jacket are you going for?

[@chrisallegre2897]

Great video, I was planning on saving up and getting a Wested TOD but after this I might just have to get a S&J instead.

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching! I LOVE this jacket and I’m not the only one. Wested is fine but it’s not going to be this.

[@JoshuaLenerville]

As always you made an excellent video! I'm extremely intrigued about the weight of their cowhide, I have a US Wings jacket and it is like wearing a weight vest. I've always considered Steele and Jones for my next jacket but your video has convinced me that my next jacket is going to be from them.

[@riserindy]

You’ll love it. I think this cowhide is amazing. I’m considering getting a destiny jacket made out of it

[@cosmicdissonance8468]

@@riserindywatching your video actually convinced me to pull the trigger on my own Destiny in cowhide! Keep up the great work!

[@kingofthekludge]

If i may ask, out of all the Indy jackets that you own, which one would you say is the best one? think materials, build quality and fit rater than screen accuracy. Thank you very much!

[@riserindy]

Hi! Thanks for watching! To answer your question my Raiders Kelso has the best materials and build quality - but I never wear it. Steele & Jones makes a solid product but they don’t have the infrastructure of a top-notch jacket manufacturer like Bill Kelso Manufacturing. S&J is most likely using local cheap labor, but their jackets are still well made and can be worn every day and last a long time, and no one beats their fit. None of the Indy vendors customize the size like they do. Wested is the biggest disappointment to me. They have the infrastructure yet the quality of their construction is hit or miss. My Wested Destiny is perfectly constructed but my Wested Legacy LC has a lot of QC problems. Their materials are the same. Some of their leathers are good, others are terrible. Their fit is all over the place and they have little interest in helping you get it right. I still think S&J makes the best jacket overall. Their build quality isn’t stitch-for-stitch perfect like Kelso, but their fit is unmatched. My two favorite jackets are both Steele & Jones, and I wear one or the other every day. Meanwhile, my Westeds and Kelso gather dust.

[@kingofthekludge]

@@riserindy Thank you very much for the info!

[@riserindy]

My pleasure. I will be releasing the S&J LC jacket review shortly. Stay tuned! :)

[@connorgrewal5885]

Love this Daniel. God your videos are starting to get almost as good as mine... Just kidding. This is probably 10x better than my best work!

[@riserindy]

Haha. Don’t sell yourself short, my friend. Your stuff is great.

[@MeansWoodshop]

Stellar video, man! And incredible jacket! S&J knocked it out of the park with this one.

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching. And yeah… that they did.

[@joefleming2053]

Another phenomenal video with more invaluable information. Thank you.

[@riserindy]

@joefleming2053 thanks for watching, Joe!

[@jasons2717]

Bit of a silly question, but can a phone fit in the small jacket pockets?

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching and not a silly question at all! I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max that sticks out, so you can’t close the flap. Maybe a regular iPhone would fit but I don’t have one to test. Temple of Doom pockets are really small. I don’t know why they made them that small for the movie but if you want an accurate TOD jacket you’ll need tiny pockets. On the other hand, Last Crusade has the largest pockets. Probably to accommodate the grail diary being pulled out of Indy’s pocket by Elsa. I always put my phone in the interior breast pocket of my jackets. It fits fine on every Indy jacket I own.

[@robertolopezarrieta6096]

Great video, beautiful jacket... haw much was it? where did you get that perfect hat?

[@riserindy]

Thanks for watching! The jacket was $390. The hat was also made by Steele & Jones. Originally a Raiders hat, but I had it reblocked into a Temple of Doom by another fan.

[@markraatsart5049]

I have owned jackets from all of the most well known vendors including Wested and I can easily say that the two S&J jackets I own are the very best Indy jackets out there. My S&J jackets have travelled with me to Skywalker Ranch on many occasions and I have compared them to the Jackets in the archives and can safely say they capture the legacy of the movie jackets perfectly.

[@riserindy]

Hey Mark! Love your work, my friend! Obviously I agree. Nothing beats S&J in my opinion. Thanks for watching and for contributing beautiful works of art to the Indy community!

[@markraatsart5049]

Looks great ! But the hat is amazing 🎉

[@riserindy]

Haha. Thanks. Steele & Jones also made the hat. Started life as a Raiders but was reblocked into a Temple of Doom by another Indy fan friend

[@The_Zilli]

very nice timing - in the market for a good leather jacket and while I dont intend to dress up like Indy, he does have good choice in attire that I dont mind borrowing from.

[@riserindy]

It’s an amazing jacket. Looks great in a t-shirt and jeans. It’s a timeless look.
