I made some comparaison shots of my Keslo and my Tony Nowak.
Both jackets are identical. Only the leather is diferent, the Nowak is in 747 Cowhide and the Kelso is Striated lamb. Both are almost the same size.

Gorak, did you find the limited edition number ?

Christian Jones

Thank you everybody for the kind words. ;) Yes indeed, this is a very nice jacket. It's the ultimate Indy jacket for me. I still love my Nowak but it's a lot thicker. The Kelso is a thin, soft jacket and the leather realy captures that Raiders look. The color is very difficult to capture on camera, ...

Kind of late on this thread but that MLE 1892 is actually a SA Indy gun!!! It's also a "Hero" gun!! It was one of the guns that young Indy carries in the YIJC series. It fires 8mm lebel revolver ammo pictured here Sorry but this is not correct, the gun that Indy uses in the YIJC is a belg...

Christian Jones

Yep, that's a very cool jacket !

Christian Jones

Anyway... Sorry Tundrarider and sorry mods. You are right, we should be focusing on the jacket and on the size. If I'm correct size 40 and 42 have a very short back, only 23", I think. :-k Don't know about the other sizes but I think it's roughly the same. Also, from what I read, making the sle...

I have an Eastman Rough Wear 27752 repro, and I love that jacket. I admit that I like the historical label they included, but looking at my jacket right now, they also placed a nice "Manufactured by Eastman" label right under the flap of the pocket. It can be easily spotted when you look ...

One stitch detail is done incorrectly. One stitch should not be there. There is a detail missing. Search on "Star Magazine" and you may find some threads referring to it. There is a problem with the zip. OK maybe for the stitchings... I'm not an expert. But you're pushing the button there...

Christian Jones

Those jackets are not made in China, don't wurry...

Don't know about the B&N label.

But if it had any errors, you would have seen them on a jacket made by a well known Californian maker also.

Christian Jones

I have an A2 Rough Wear from Bill Kelso and it's an amazing jacket. The leather is gorgeous (horse hide) and the quality is like my Tony Nowak ! Anyway, Bill Kelso is based in Grece, Europe. Only one person has one of those jackets up to now (and I will be the second one :mrgreen: ). If you want mor...

I already have mine on order, Striated Lamb authentic brown color !

They told me I'm the first one. Will post some pix when I have it in hands.

Christian Jones

Interested in Todd's ToD !

Christian Jones

That's great news !

Count me in

Christian Jones

Nice work, Christian!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: For me, the label really accents the bag and gives it some personal character. (Which is the purpose of a monogram in the first place! :P ) Michael :TOH: Thank you Michael :notworthy: . And I agree on the label, also looks more screen accurate too :D .

Here's my rucksack with my home made label :

Thank you nihil, I love it

Don't forget that many European countries have very strict anti-gun laws. In Belgium and France, most cap guns are called "pistolets d'alarme" in french, you can buy those guns localy but you can not import them because they have to be tested by the FN and Saint-Etienne armories before. Un...

Christian Jones

Very nice ! I love the color.
Looks like this jacket was made for you

.

Christian Jones

Only problem, the AB shirt is only available in S and XL for the moment. But that's not a big problem if you wear a L like me, I ordered an XL and brought it to my tailor and it fits great now.

No, they say it's baby camel hair... Something Indy may have worn

Now, it's not in my price range either.

Christian Jones

Nice, they look almost identical to the JCrew Aldens. Thank you for the link

Christian Jones

I like it. Can I send you mine ?

Christian Jones

Thank you Michael

But yours look waaay better than mine

:TOH: There's a link to a map of NY city on the site and you can see the location of the shop. You will see, finding your way in NY is very easy and Manhattan isn't "that big" (I love the city by the way). And they should have the Indy Boot in the shop (Hey, it's not Big-Apple for nothing ...

Help ! Can somebody, please, tell me the size of the IJ label on the rucksack ? We haven't seen a screen used Rucksack emerge anywhere after the film for inspection. Not even pics. So, it is speculation at this point. I made mine 1 5/8"x 2 5/8". Happy leatherworking! :D Michael :TOH: Than...

Christian Jones

Thank you Mitch, it helps

As I wear a size 10 in all my shoes (boots, dress shoes and sneakers), I think it would be safer to order a size 10.

Christian Jones

I don't know if it's any help what so ever, but I was measured for a new band uniform at the age of 17, and was sized 7 3/8 or 23" head size at that time. I'm in my late 50's now, and I'm still size 7 3/8, or more specificially, still have the same 23" head measurement. So, at least in my...

Christian Jones

Very nice shoes Mitch :tup: ! Did you ordered your size like Michael or did you ordered 1/2 size smaller ? I'm actualy thinking of ordering a pair myself ;) but I don't know with the size thing... I only have Todd's boots to compare and they are a size 10. Can somebody who has both Aldens and Todd's...

Nice and interesting !

Egyptians have been famous for the practice of reuse of materials for millennium And they still are. You can not imagine how many out of date Coca Cola bottles I've seen there, with simply a new label tag pasted on top of the old one... And when it comes to alcohol, most of the people in North Afri...

Wow. Daren, the hat looks amazing !!! And it looks great on you both.

I simply gave my jacket above a coat of Pecard leather dressing and it darkened nicely. Did that some months ago now and it's still dark.

There is one for sale on E bay, its a 7 1/2 Adventurebuilt. Just search Young indiana Jones Hat and you will find it..... :TOH: I would read a little bit about that hat and the seller. Don't know if it was discussed here, but the guy got banned from another well known Indy forum not so long ago... ...

try contact Thomas at AdVintige fedora. I think he can craft one out of his Herbert Johnson Poets he's offering. Nope, Thomas could make one but he doesn't have the ribbon. I asked him not so long ago and we both looked almost everywhere to get that correct ribbon and couldn't find it. John Penman ...

I finaly ordered a ToD from John and I'm very excited. Even more when I see your hat PsychicsAndSwords :P . I wanted a Young Indy first, but my girlfriend told me the hat will look wrong on me.

This same question gets asked all the time at the watch collecting sites I frequent. Some watches still have a plethora of parts available for a LONG time....but some models that were plentiful when I started out in the hobby are getting hard to find parts for, and are being retired to collections ...

I HIGHLY suggest if you plan on using one for 'Indy' type adventures, get a repro and save your originals for display, light use, or fan gatherings. Exactly ! This is exactly what I do now. Like you said above : Once they're gone, they're gone. But, do you think they will be gone one day soon ? Som...

I had two original bags over the past few years. The first one survived 2 hours. The fabric was completely rotten when I got it. I contacted WPG and they send me another one.

Hi everybody, This is what I've been doing the last few days, painting some Indy guns. The S&W is from Wade Egan and the Webley WG is from Rook. The Smith is resin and the Webley cold cast resin. Both guns are very well cast and there is only a little cleaning job to do. Russ was kind enough to ...

Let's face it, if Indy wore an ugly jacket, or an ugly hat, most of us would not be here, day in and day out constantly seeking to perfect our outfits, because Indy's outfit is perfect, even perfectly "imperfect", if you will. Agreed :H: !!! Especialy perfectly "imperfect". Now,...
