Club Obi Wan

I haven’t owned any leather jackets from them, but I did see one of my friend’s a few days ago and it looked pretty solid. His was a raiders in cow. I’m not sure if I’ve seen one of their jackets with a Ribby lamb like was used in the film though.

IJJTM

If I had to guess, I’d assume the film was homaging Indy.

IJJTM

According to imfdb they are indeed S&W 1917’s. Not sure if the grips are the same though.

I’d recommend looking into other cobblers to resole your current pair. If you really want new ones I’d recommend hunting eBay for a bit to find one in your size for about half the price of a new one.

IJJTM

I may be in the minority, but I find volleys to be a lot easier with my Jacka compared to my Morgan-styles Indy’s. But it took a bit to get used to the weight.

IJJTM

Looks great!

IJJTM

Has your question been answered? I could take some measurements of mine after work if you need anymore.

IJJTM

That looks great! What kind of leather is it?

IJJTM

Neither are good whips when it comes to cracking, aesthetically Magnoli is better, but if you want a whip that looks nice and cracks decently, I’d go with Todd’s Costumes. It won’t hold up as well as a custom made kangaroo whip, but out of the cheaper whip options I’ve seen it holds up the best.

IJJTM

Looks pretty good so far. I’ve been dabbling with the idea of making a CS holster eventually, so I’m curious to see how your Raiders turns out.

IJJTM

It already sold out. It was essentially destiny poets, that were distressed the same way as they were in the film by the same artisans that did it for the film.

IJJTM

Yeah, I thought that was a possibility too.

IJJTM

In that shot it kind of looks like an upside down d ring.

IJJTM

I personally went with true sable. Sure it’s dark at first, but when the sun starts making the color fade, it’s gonna fade into the perfect color, while I feel like the other colors start off looking right, then progressively get lighter than you’d want.

IJJTM

I’m not seeing a D ring. I think it’s a trick of the light. The fabric of the bag is bunched up indicating a round ring to me. I would expect the fabric to be flatter if the bottom of the ring was the flat side of a D ring. I realize these bags were made by many makers over the course of the war an...

IJJTM

If I’m not mistaken all the times it looks like D rings, I think it’s the same bag strap with the 3 distinctive tally marks a little above the buckle.

IJJTM

I’m not sure if this has been discussed before, if it has please link it since I couldn’t find any. But, after looking closely in Raiders, it looks like Indy’s bag has D instead of O rings. It’s easiest to see it when Indy fights the swordsman, topples the Anubis statue, and before he enters the Hov...

IJJTM

The pictures didn’t work, and I don’t know about resewing the sweatband unless you’d consider yourself fairly proficient in sewing. I’d recommend folding the sweatband in half like they did for some of the original Raider hats.

IJJTM

I’ve seen some people use mk vi’s before and change those out. There was a guy doing a decent replica of the WG a few months back, but I’ve had issues with his customer service.

IJJTM

Of the ones you listed I’d recommend Todd’s, but Azuma is generally considered the best when it comes to Indy shirts if you can get one from him. Todd's looks great! it has a more brownish color than the normal grey that most have. but i actually like it. I just checked Azuma's store on etsy but sa...

IJJTM

Throughout the years they used whips from many makers also including Paul Nolan of Midwest whips and Joe Strain.

IJJTM

I’ve seen jackets made with both leathers in person, I personally prefer the striated leather.

IJJTM

That’s really cool.

IJJTM

Like Loneken said, I’m pretty sure it was a rubber stunt whip they had on display.

IJJTM

With your budget I’d recommend going with Nylon if you want something that’ll last a lifetime. Tomek makes great stuff from what I’ve seen, but I’d also recommend swordguybuilds and eliasonwhipco.

IJJTM

I’m wearing my cowhide Nowak in the same rain with no issues. Also, I’ve even worn rabbit hats in the rain and had no issues, but beaver would react better.

IJJTM

If you want the absolute closest thing to what Ford used in the first film, go for Paul Nolan’s 1936 Indy. If you want something that is dead on accurate looks-wise, but with a more refined handling, Del Carpio. But, both of them have long wait times. Joe Strain makes excellent whips, I wouldn’t say...

IJJTM

I always thought the captain shipped his stuff back to him after the adventure.

IJJTM

Where was that last picture taken? Is it green screened?

IJJTM

Looks pretty spot on!

Pretty sure it was just lighting.

IJJTM

The recent batch of Todd whips I’ve seen are pretty accurate, not sure if you got something different, but the Raiders looks thinner than most think. As for the weight, yeah, Todd whips are lighter than most high quality whips, so you’ll have to put a bit more power into them.

IJJTM

Question for the group: if one were looking for a CS Adventurebilt made on the original block used for the film hats, what range of hat sizes would that imply? I know this is a very specific question [emoji4] Thanks all! Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk With stunt hats included, anywhere from 5...

Oh wow… I used to search obituaries every once in a while and I guess it’s been a hot minute since I have. I didn’t know he was in the military. RIP Steve…

IJJTM

To my knowledge he’s still with us.

IJJTM

I think they’re the best Indy pants, you just need to tell them everything you want including fit and such, like they’ll do a jeans fit if you wanted. As for color and material, it all depends on what film you’re aiming for.

IJJTM

I’ve got a pair with a second on the way, I’m just not in a position to post pictures at the moment.

IJJTM

I think that Magnoli does the best.

IJJTM

Yeah, they claim a lot more than they should, but it seems like the costume designer confirmed Baron did the Oppenheimer hat. Dang, now I kinda want one…

IJJTM

I’d use brown pecards.

IJJTM

You might want to reach out to John Penman.

IJJTM

I had a friend make a convincing argument that it was calfhide based on the looks of other jackets made of that material, but nothing has been confirmed to my knowledge.

IJJTM

That’s really nice! I don’t think I have seen any unnumbered. Also, how did opportunity present itself?

IJJTM

Nutmeg is way lighter than deep sable.

IJJTM

It was, but I ended up selling it and buying a CS Hero from Advintage which I am beyond pleased with.

IJJTM

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. I...

IJJTM

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 receiv...

IJJTM

Well, Fords were weathered before they made it to camera, so this may just be how they arrived to set.
