Yankee
movie buffs have just visited Swanley
to meet the maker of the leather
jacket worn by whip-cracking celluloid
hero Indiana Jones.
Costumier Peter Botwright, 58, was
astonished when a group of movie
fans asked to visit his workshop
and showroom in Wested Lane, Swanley.
His team, which has been in the
business for 30 years, made the
famous brown leather jacket worn
by heart-throb Harrison Ford for
the Indiana Jones series of blockbusters.
Mr Botwright was delighted to show
them around the workshop. He said:
"When
I made the jacket, in 1980, I didn't
realise how big the films would
be but of course they turned out
to be massive."
