While having gear that is truly screen Accurate is nice, I find that to be either unattainable or just plain impractical. You said it, Chewbacca Jones. SA to me is the utopia that you can burn a lot of money, time and effort trying to get to- and never be able to get there. I burnt out on this hobb...

Neolithic

It's reassuring to come back to this hobby after a few years hiatus and find that, despite there being a significantly increased range of jackets and accuracy to choose from that the quest continues as passionately as ever.

Edit.

Considering Indy suggests he should sink a well down in the Venice catacombs and retire, you may very well be right.

Maybe this is how he funds his extravagant wardrobe of adventure gear.

Neolithic

The first question I ask is why a perfect stranger would ridicule someone else on the street.
They obviously have their own issues.

Like everyone has said- your body language communicates a lot about how you feel about wearing the hat.
Johnny Depp wears one. He's a stylish dude.

Neolithic

I imagine he spent time selecting items that worked and then did a bulk order!

I tend to agree with conceited_ape.
Everything is more or less disposable except the fedora- that contains a bit of his soul.

Neolithic

Ever since Indy went down a river in India on a yellow life raft I'd known the soles have no treads. I don't know why they're going on about us Indyfans love of detail and then doing this.

My advice for that money is to get a pair of AB Aldens.

Neolithic

Magnoli, how does Golden Rod compare to your Camel colour?

I'd be interested in these pants.
Is the cut around the leg comparable to the NH width?

Neolithic

... but the heel. The heel is wrong... there are treads on this bad boy......highly effective but in that sense, highly unnoticeable imo. I've never understood why people want treads on their Indy boots! It makes them look too clunky. Sure, Aldens can be slippery now and then... but you have to suf...

It should come with a dino tail hanging off the back panel.

I've got a fair few original MkVIIs and intend on holding on to them. I only use them for the full Indy kit thing. I feel uncomfortable using something that is so old in daily use. I wouldn't want them to get accidentally marked or torn or whatever. There may have been thousands made, but if we all ...

Neolithic

Holt, you're a steely-eyed missile man!
I prefer this jacket a million or more times over a Novak Indy I!

Neolithic

I think all this means is there will be more options and more to debate! :) However, I do see a line being drawn in the sand for some. I agree that the actual film jacket definately has a more textured look to it, but I'm not wearing something that looks like beef jerky and has been called a piece o...

Welcome aboard, Raider Of The Lost Ark! I just had Wade make me two Raiders straps and I couldn't be happier with the product. He seems to get the right color- not too red, not too brown. I asked him to do the grooves really lightly so that they're there if you want to see them which I think is quit...

I find that the knife fits very well in my hand and is very comfortable to use. I would recommend this knife as a fair purchase. It's not a rip-off, but you do get what you pay for. Agreed! Mine arrived last week and I couldn't be happier with it! I have Mora knives that I'd use for real applicatio...

Neolithic

I'm with you, Nick.
Really sorry to hear it wasn't your cup of tea after the big expense.
(Especially with the economy the way it is!)

Neolithic

I guess Indy and Marion will be needing a bigger bed so let that one go, eh?
Unusual thing to have bought, but I like it. Well done!

Was there anything else for sale?

Neolithic

Hey, congratulations!

Thanks for all the replys i'm looking for something that looks Screen acurate from LC.

I have nothing to add to this but wanted to comment on Neolithic's avatar, great photo! Randy Thanks! A bit Photoshop evilness and you're in the Raven Bar. :) On this threads topic, it would be interesting to know how far Peter intends to replicate NH's offerings. The NH shirt especially, up until ...

Neolithic

It would be nice if he changed the pocket flap.
I think the leg shape of the NH is correct though.

Thanks for the update, Magnoli!

You got an order from Dan in Australia.
That's me.

Looking forward to it.

Neolithic

I don't think it's that bad.
If you don't know the difference, then ignorance is bliss!
This whip would be fine for some, not just most of us!

Neolithic

I've had two Keppler straps for years that are great- very soft leather.

I'd be interested to see Wade's work too.

To be honest, I don't think they do look good with jeans - has too much of a "lumber-jack" effect. Yeah, but you'd be okay. You could sleep all night and work all day. To me, Aldens really don't give a lumber-jack look. But a nice pair of high heel red pumps on the other hand... Dare I sa...

Mine arrived this morning.
Great job, Marc- these are beautiful boots.

I immediately changed shoes and have been wearing them all day. No framed box for mine, I'm gonna get good wear out of these puppies for the price I paid and use them as every day shoes.

Neolithic

I wear them with jeans at least once a week.
Wear a brown leather belt and it all matches up.

As far as I knew, no one has correctly ID'd that hat Neill wears in JP.

I'd love a decent Han Solo Bespin jacket to be available.
So many of them seem cheap and nasty or ridiculously over priced.

Very good.

What do the press studs look like in close detail, Kevin?

NICE!

Strange, it doesn't look as shiny as the jacket in the movie?
Or is that just the photography?

Neolithic

I was of the understanding that the "80's cut" was a theory developed here and given to Wested based on the notion that jackets in the early 80's tended to run a little tighter all around. My last two Westeds have been "80's cut" but to be honest, I can't see a huge difference to...
