I would love to hear about the actual differences and what they are, once and for all. Did anyone ask Peter the last time, or has it been confirmed already that it's just collar/studs/length that does it between the jackets? So... Tell me about your jacket length... And is your mother a lamb? Regar...

Indypip,I´m 6`1" myself and a broader built then you ,somewhat, so I dare say you should´ve gotten yourself size 43 or 44, if Wested makes in- between sizes......don´t know AND I should add 43Long regarding your pictures.Not to blaim you or anything,that´s what you should have ordered.just my ...

Harry, I notice your saw my thread, but for the record... My recent Wested was size 42, chest 38, shoulder 7, length 25, sleeve 25, and is I believe, after much reflect screen accurate in length. Check the scene in Raiders, when Indy finds the Nazis are digging in the wrong place (and monkey snuffs ...

Thanks for you views! I have bit the bullet and ordered another (ouch, that sure hurts the wallet). I have asked for 1" extra on both the jacket and sleeves. I am sticking with Ian, for the long legged Jones fan, you need a slightly longer jacket too. The goat I have has a definite shorter back...

OK, so several years on from purchasing a Goat Wested, I ordered a Lambskin during the recent UK 2004 Summit, ironically it arrived at my house while I was on a return visit to Wested :roll: The jacket is beautiful :shock: so you might well ask what is the dilema? Well IHO it is too short. I am 6'1&...

I like the look and feel of the 'homepage' but I would say that the hats should be shot against a neutral background - white? - so as not to distract from the focus of the shot, i.e. the hat. Still, it looks like it's all coming together, except so far, no mention of the 'buy now pay later' or easy ...

Having posted on another thread that I was about to order one of the German HJs, I like many others feel torn. My heart says buy one of each, but my wallet just laughs! However I think I will take Fedora's advice "he will be around for a while" - so time to get saving! My humble offering f...

One of the problems with the old Wested jackets was the pleats would stay open. Part of this was due to them being too shallow. The depth appears to be correct on my new one. The only other way this problem would rear its ugly head is if the lamb relaxed too much and just stayed open. Confidence is...

You got me there Chamorro! I should have snapped the blurb as well. There wasn't much to be honest, it certainly didn't go into much detail. Basically as stated at first, it was issued to operatives during WWII. It was the dating that caught my eye as well as the similarity. However I seem to recall...

Wow, didn't expect it to be that big!

Ah, that's better

Dang it! if you cannot see the picture try going direct to the web site http://indypip.freewebsites.com/knife.jpg

Yes I am struggling to get it to show, please be patient!

I saw this at the London Imperial War Museum.

It was part of a display on undercover operatives (er, spys to the unitiated) who were deployed in Europe during WWII.

You know I absolutely hate it when you do something that leaves you feeling great (the phone call), only to find out something later that makes you feel so bad.

I really sympathise.

Definitive hat or jacket! I don't believe it's possible to get either. There were so many shapes, cuts, bashes, and studio adjustments it is - IMHO - impossible to say what is the ultimate hat or jacket. I do tend to follow the line of thought that the jackets were made with all cotton linings (I th...

Got your message, excellent caption, I think you'd get away with posting it here too. But I admire your discretion.

I have had my Wested Goatskin since spring/summer last year (I am terrible for remembering exact dates). I have not coated it with anything, and so far it has not deteriated in any way. It's been on beaches (sand and sea water), in the rain, subjected to heat. I have deliberately tried not to cosset...

Could just be my weird sense of humour, but I would have thought these boxers would have had a picture of Indy emerging from the fly/zipper area, with a speach bubble saying something along the lines of "Somethings are best left undiscovered!" or "It's antique, but it ain't worth a di...

Thanks Maryon, it's not like my dearest and nearest doesn't like Indy (I mean that would be grounds for divorce :wink: ), it's just spending so much cash on something that's just a hobby / obsession is hard to justify on a measly budget. Still I am willing to buy her the Marion dress (by the way, yo...

Don't forget, he also had a suitcase. So he'd keep the stuff he didn't need in the field: toothbrush, toothpaste, razor (like he used it... ha!) ... There is a scene in TOD when they show the Palace from the outside. Indy and the others are getting ready for the banquet and you hear Indy shouting t...

I am not sure how using your whip in a public park would go down in the UK. A lot of our parks are fairly small affairs, with a few playground things and a bit of grass. I think we would be better off at a more remote place, which may make it less convenient and also less often that we can practice....

Ken,
I think most UK video players will also play the American format - NTSC - anyway, so if your video is newish, you should be OK.

Are you going to London at end of January?
if so...
Are you planning to bring your whip?
Are you planning to wear your gear?

Here are a couple of sites in the UK with leather dressing products. I cannot recommend any, but if someone from the US could have a quick look and tell us which ones seem to be the same type of product as Pecards, it might help us UK-heads. http://www.denewear.co.uk/shop.cfm?productid=21 http://www...

As I read this thread it started off extolling the joys of cracking your whip, then descended into the depths of gloom, I felt for Jim reading Kyles and Sergei's comments (I don't think they were being nasty, but the written word sure can sound blunt). IndyPip, I don't see this type of thread and d...

Any UK people can get Wells Lamont gloves from B&Q. Knowing UK shops as I do, I need to know, do they sell a range of Wells Lamont gloves or just one type. Or more to the point do they sell the Indy models - 1123 or 1130? Agent5 - is there a shop in particular that sells them via the web? If so...

You know, after 13 years of marriage, you think you'd know your wife wouldn't you? Of course, a bunch of flowers is always a good touch, but not to get a harsh word for buying a whip was something of a surprise - mind you the fact that the wrong (and so much cheaper) price was on the packaging helpe...

Given that kangaroos are in plague proportions in some parts of Australia, there's bound to be no shortage of good quality pelts. We've just had a cull of 15,000 kangeroos not far from where I live, and that is planned to become a yearly event to keep numbers down. Hmm, does this mean the price of ...

Alex is right, MBA do sell one. Check the main site for prices and details on getting to MBA (it's quite easy really, been a few times myself). Alternatively you can either make your own, or ask a local tanner to make one - If you print some pictures off the various web sites, I'm sure they'd be abl...

Michealson, perhaps you would be better suited to the pseudonym "The Oracle" :wink: Here's another question you will be able to answer... In my limited knowledge of time pieces, wouldn't a pocket watch normally have been on a chain which in turn would attach to an item of clothing to stop ...
