Parkhurst boots has a good reputation. The color maybe slightly off, but I like 'em!

Well done Bear! What skills you have

Thanks for posting, fun to watch. I've always enjoyed that show.

IndianaJustin

Thanks, IndianaJustin! :TOH: I was really selfconscious when I started wearing hats, a few years back. Felt super awkward. Now I feel naked without an Indy lid. :rolling: Anyway, in this modern day people wear way more weird items of clothing than our Indygear. I think it's awesome you are dressing...

IndianaJustin

Such a nice look! I'm starting to wear things like that more and more as I get over my fear of seeming too geeky. It's such a practical outfit I think.

IndianaJustin

I have a cotton one that's about 10 years old and I use it a lot in the winter in Florida. I love it. One thing I've noticed is that it seems roomier than my leather Wested which is supposedly the same size. I like that as sometimes I layer under it. It's also a bit short for me, not terrible but a ...

IndianaJustin

I greatly appreciate all the information I was leaning toward the 1936 model however at the same time I'm kind of like what you said Justin LOL the one on eBay does look good and is currently available with no wait time wish I had the money I would buy both LOL So I have a Strain 28th anniversary v...

IndianaJustin

I dunno, that Strain whip on eBay looks amazing and right on. It's a good price for a 10 footer and is ready now

IndianaJustin

So even though I got on the waiting list back in July, it looks like I have to possibly wait until next July to maybe get an HJ DoD fedora. Apparently a size 62 is too abnormal to work on until they get caught up with orders. Oh well. That's a bummer. Is that what you were told or are you just thin...

Yes he did.

Sallah has nice handwriting!

IndianaJustin

Thanks for the nice comparison Croft. They look like great trousers. I have 3 pairs of the cotton ones, so I'm good, but it's great to hear how nice the wool ones are.

IndianaJustin

I agree with Bear, but a heavy whip will probably wear on you sooner. Either way it's fun

IndianaJustin

Sorry if this was already covered:

Made in China but maybe?... They're a lot cheaper.

Here's one YouTube review:

Thanks, fun to watch.

Just got a new pair of Parkhurst Niagara boots, they’d made a great Alden Indy alternative if you’re looking to wear them regularly as well as for cosplay. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230907/6164b547bb064f6eb3f6a59f7c40455b.jpg https://www.parkhurstbrand.com/collections/fall-winter-23 Sent f...

Parkhurst Boots, based in Buffalo, NY, just dropped some new styles including some new leathers for their Niagara boot which looks like Aldens. They have a pretty good reputation and are way cheaper than Aldens. https://www.parkhurstbrand.com/collections/fall-winter-23?mc_cid=a2f0f4890f&mc_eid=0...

IndianaJustin

I've seen those C & J and wondered about them. Wish they didn't have the split toe but I'm sure the leather is great. Cool you put eyes them...

IndianaJustin

That's a repro of a Mk VI gas mask bag - hence the rear pockets, two small D rings on the front sides and the '1940 pattern' stamp. You'd think an army surplus specialist like Silverman's would have spotted that? The Mk VI rear pockets are actually really good for securely storing valuables so okay...

IndianaJustin

Maybe I am not trendy but a gas bag mask does not scream "fancy". Cheers, Bear Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that "fancy dress" referred to a costume. Something to suit the wearer's fancy. For example, a fancy dress party was more akin to a masquerade, or a Hallo...

IndianaJustin

I wish someone would make a Indy bag that had some security features but still looked like something IJ would use. Like some kind of cut proof fabric and a cut proof strap. I'd like to use it for travel....

IndianaJustin

I missed this one the first go around. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, got it. Thanks

IndianaJustin

Kentucky Blues wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 2:48 pm It can be a tad tricky if you haven’t done it before, but I wouldn’t say it’s hard really. There’s plenty of content in these forums, and I’m sure you can find tutorials on YouTube.

-KB

I appreciate that. I guess I should have asked is the felt stiff. That's more my question.

IndianaJustin

Are they hard to bash yourself?

This was the hat provided for the film.
That hat is fantastic! What happened?
Simply: if you go under a storm, or underwater , with a felt hat…. it’s never a good idea.

Thanks for the explanation. It would seem you are correct.

IndianaJustin

Thanks for this, and the hard work that went into it.

Agreed about the hat

IndianaJustin

Thank you all for all the feedback! I've never worn an Indy jacket and I was obsessing over tiny details, like how far before the belt the back rests. Etc. The sleeves are probably 2" longer than they appear, they're just tucked into the cuff. Totally manageable as is or I can get them fixed l...

IndianaJustin

DIY can be so fun…and nerve wracking sometimes! I commend you!

IndianaJustin

They lost me when they added that raised ridge between the stitching. One thing they did was convert from Goodyear welt to stichdown construction. That was interesting. Perhaps that's what you are referring to? :-k No, the moc toe stitching lies flat on Alden’s. They added a ridge in between the tw...

Agreed. Mine doesn't slide too much but even the little bit that it does is annoying.

I find these kind of videos satisfying to watch. Also I'd never seen stichdown construction and the sewing of a moc toe.

I just realized another reason why Frost River is likely a bit prickly: they sell their own version of Indy’s gas mask bag…but (of course) without coming out and claiming an affiliation: https://frostriver.com/products/archaeologist-satchel Thanks for sharing this, I was looking for something like ...

Ok, one last decent pic of the hat on my head https://i.imgur.io/MXmbyhV_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium It is VERY hard to stop taking selfies when the new hat is in! ;) It fits you really well! Was always a fan of a bearded Indy! :TOH: Cheers, Bear Looks great! Must be a s...

I ordered mine January of 2021, I was told to expect it in November. John went MIA in March of that year and you would only get responses from his friend Anna. In June I was told that it was ready to ship, I thought nothing of the 5 month speed up. It showed up and I was in denial about liking it. ...

IndianaJustin

Wow, that looks way better than the hat I received in 2021. Also, like others said, that sky shot is phenomenal. It’s weird that you didn’t get the brush or letter, I got both of those when I ordered mine and I believe that others have as well. It even says on the website that you should have recei...

IndianaJustin

I'm trying really hard to resist getting one of these. I used to live out in Oregon and actually went by the store once but it was closed and I never got back. Bummer.

IndianaJustin

Great looking hat. I was just looking at NW Hats site the other day so I'm glad you revived this thread.

IndianaJustin

Yikes! There goes more potential profit. Or recouping of investment. Or adds to the loss.

IndianaJustin

Thanks for the info. Probably good it's words in emails vs tempting pictures of fedoras on a website...

I haven‘t been active for a couple of years but I thought it would be fun to show my beloved Penman Raiders fedora I got in 2011. It is number 350 from March 2011. I wore it a lot during my time as an archaeologist in Europe, Africa and the Near East, on vacations and of course whenever I was in th...

IndianaJustin

Great color and canvas lining! The lining is actually glove leather. Thanks guys! I'm super pumped. Now I've just got to learn how to walk without continually looking at my feet.. :lol: What an interesting color of glove leather. I can't see as well anymore so they looked like the old canvas. Thanks

IndianaJustin

Great color and canvas lining!

IndianaJustin

The thread coming through the outsole could indicate Goodyear welt.... but maybe it's decorative. Not sure why they'd go through the trouble for that detail.

IndianaJustin

Thanks for that thorough review!
Can these boots be resolved? Are they Goodyear welted?

IndianaJustin

My main daily hat is an old Adventurebilt that was made in 2008. This thing has been through A LOT. It’s been in the high humidity of jungles and dry desert nights, and even the extreme cold of the Arctic! It’s been through more than a few monsoons and been soaked to the core. It’s flown with the w...

IndianaJustin

I hope this doesn't spoil anything....

I think he's wearing Dad's watch because he was teaching when all the stuff started happening and he never went back to his apartment, Sallah did. I'm thinking he'd have a different watch for the field.
