Thanks for the comments everyone. I had bought pieces from Wade years ago and yeah it took time but he came through. I want to make clear again, as in my first post, that this questioning wasnt about trying to slander or be negative.. just a fact finding post to see if anyone knew his circumstances....

starks_6

Wade had contacted me early/ mid last year regarding making a Raiders holster for me and he has been paid and the holster was stated to be ready to post later last year and just didn't seem to eventuate. The last contact I had with Wade was around new years so about 3 months ago. He has not responde...

What's the differenc ebetween Hero and legacy, just hardware and leather choice. The cut and fit of the jacket is the same. Thanks for clearing that up for me! The cowhide is strong without being stiff, so it gives a really nice practical Raiders look and feel. The wait times are long, but we're wo...

That's a horrible story on so many levels! I've had an HJ fedora stolen out of the back of a church of all places, so I know the feeling of senseless gear loss. Have you seen our White Label line? One of these would be under $500 AUD (shipped): https://www.magnoliclothiers.com/product_info.php?prod...

Hi guys, I skulk around the forum a couple of times per year and have a look but haven't been too active in the last 10 years. 4 kids later and a 6 day working week and hobbys become a thing that you had once. I was pretty happy with my gear overall so wasn't in the market for much. I loved my Magno...

Hi guys, I don't get on the board to often these days.... work and family keep me busy. I'm looking to just finalise on a few pieces to bring my overall Indy gear to a point I'm satisfied. One thing is the Raiders holster. I advertised in the WTB for a Wade Egan as I always wanted one but at the tim...

Absolutely stunning mate !

starks_6

I haven't seen these boots in person, but hooks snapping is VERY common. I've had that happen on pretty much every boot I own (including several high-priced boots)... except for Aldens. They must use some really well tempered metal! Now I don't own the TODDs boots to compare but the hooks on my Ald...

YES! It just became a costume in the end.... I have to disagree a little with this comment. Just because Indy may carry certain "gear" does not mean it is used all the time. While it would have be nice for KOTCS to be scripted showing Indy using more of his gear or the whip more often, at...

Thanks for that. I'll try a few more places that aren't so local and failing that will contact Aldens.
I'm just glad to know it can be sorted

Not that I saw having a poke around the website. But maybe someone here will know

starks_6

I'm hoping someone can answer this for me! After 4 years of use (wear them everywhere except work) my first run AB Aldens really need the heels replacing. Being in Australia I was a little unsure about sending them across the pond to Aldens to have the heels done. I love the things to death and woul...

They look fantastic. And you will get lots of wear out of them. i remember when mine looked that new......

Put me down for one!

Mate, Id be keen!

starks_6

Yup, Indy also says " intolerable " when escaping from the Russians in the jungle (just after Mutt smashes the lantern) just like his father does in LC :) In Crystal Skull, our rough and tumble Indy had matured into a man very similar to his father in many ways. I was thinking that this w...

starks_6

geez sneakertinker, That's a great amount of information. I'm especial interested in the run down of what model shoes were worn when and by who in what film. Now the boots worn by Indy in the truck scene (where we see the close up) definitely do look like the redder colour, more so than the AB's at ...

starks_6

I agree that some shots in Raiders the boots are definitely the lighter colour. There's the shot of the boots in the beginning of Raiders when Indy is stepping around the 'sensors' on the floor and the boots look quite darkish brown like the AB aldens, and they dont appear to be overly distressed. I...

Stephan got back to me. He seems nice. Just need a reblock and clean. I just wish the USD was worth what it used to be. Poor college students like myself take a beating! ](*,) Stephan is a top bloke, I had the pleasure of speaking with him many times while having my AB deluxe done by himself and Ma...

Hmmmm, I'm liking it.
Gotta say though, they're #### comfortable to wear!

starks_6

Yes, sad but true unfortunately. No offense intended. Anyhow, I am curious to know about the quality of these trousers. Mainly stitching and overall construction. The quality of the stitching and fabric of the pants are excellent. I think you may need to give Todd's another look. The products are a...

I had mine arrive yesterday 34x32. They fit great and the colour and drape are fantastic. I'm yet to take photo's of myself but I did dress up in full gear to see the 'look'. I too found it a little hard getting used to the baggy look at first and had many trips to the mirror but they definitely nai...

I tend to keep My fedora, boots and sometimes my bag but with a military style shirt and jeans. The Fed 3 has been retired now though. Got myself an AB Deluxe! Still, that hat went dozens of places.... Adventures most of us have may not be as fantastical as those led by Indy, but some days if only o...

starks_6

Gentlemen, I'm just gearing up and I'm not ready to drop the cash for Aldens, so I'm looking for close-enoughs. Your discussion has been very helpful. I like the Sebago boots, and the Timberland Stormbuck City Adventure boots are not too bad (and the price is great). Extra-special thanks for mentio...

starks_6

I get ribbed for dressing like Indiana Jones when I've got a suit and a grey fedora on. It's the hat - it's always the hat - even when it should be the shirt. I want to say, "you want to see 'dressing like Indiana Jones' I'll show you 'dressing like Indiana Jones!" But then I remember tha...

I"m glad you guys got a laugh out of them. They had a few pairs where I bought them from so I'm a little surprised they're not more readily available over there. Cheers for the comments guys

I used to be a big wearer of Chuck Taylor's before I got my AB Aldens and have pretty much worn them everywhere since. Today however at the Converse shop down near the Gold Coast I found these, brown leather high tops with a moc toe, and had to buy them. I think I will put some brown laces on them h...

When I was around 12 or 13 (26 now) my dad went to disneyland and brought me back, what was at the time, an indiana jones whip... looked nothing like it :lol: . In any case I used to whip that around low tree branches and swing quite successfully. Absolutely destroyed what was a cheaply made 4 plait...

starks_6

I wondered if it was more likely a whip used in training as opposed to something that we see on screen?

You certain that was from dragging behind a truck or from being 'nuked' while inside a regrigerator ! W>

Im pretty sure that gives the buckle a glowing effect

My Magnoli Raiders!
After almost 2 years and lots of wear it's still going strong! I plan to buy another yet... not too sure which style. But I dont feel I need another as yet

Might be a different story if I actually got dragged behind the back of a truck

All I took from that article was that she prefers guys not wearing a hat.... good for her. Judging by that black and white photo she appears to be caked in make-up... reminds me of Homer's make up gun!. I might have to write a blog about how women look better NOT caked in make up

My old duck had many cats when i was growing up as a kid and we had all sorts of things ruined because they choose not to use a litter tray. From memory if there's a certain area your cats decide to whiz in, then if you put a litter tray there, it should use it...then after a while you can move that...

Mate, great looking boots. Ive had mine for only a couple of years now and they've had quite a bashing but still remain looking not too worn. Even yours i dare say you could give a good 'ol boot polish and they would look quite smart! I think it can safely be said they are the one piece of gear that...

If you need something for a price, TODDs is great value for the money, and isn't expensive.
You can also buy reproduction MK VII gas mask bags from him too, have a look

You should probably read the forum rules, no links to ebay pages are to be made so you may want to remove them as I wouldn't want to see you get in trouble off the mods as I can see your pretty new.
To answer your question though, yes they are the real thing.

I love my AB shirt, and I'm happy with the colour. In saying that though Im happy with the colour on my TODD's shirt too which as we all know is a shade darker and yellower than other offerings. I think the problem stands that trying to match the gear to the on screen colour or the true colour is ne...

Showed this to my fiance, and she's hooked. She's wondering if the bride's maids wore 30s style dresses? Thanks for the idea! They weren't a 30's style dress as such, just a dress that my fiance picked that fit in a little with the theme. We found looking at pictures of dresses from the era that ge...

My Lambskin Magnoli has had a rough time and been thrown around a bit and is still holding up extremely well. I couldn't more strongly recommend it!

Very nice. I didn't realize the suit had a vest. I like vests. :mrgreen: It actually doesn't, I ordered the vest as well in the same material. The vest is Indy Magnoli's "notched- lapel vest". Once again, Indy Magnoli is an absolute gentleman to deal with. Lantzn, that photo is very well ...

Congratulations, very classy looking. I bet when Indy themed wedding was mentioned everyone thought you'd be there in your adventure gear. A few of my friends did push for that. We thought it would be nice to try and do something classy though. I should also add that myself and groomsman wore fed 4...

starks_6

As those of us who have bought Magnoli's tailored pants know, the measuring of your leg isn't a big issue. Don't be afraid, you'll be ok to measure your own guys

And knowing Todd, his hems will be accurate.
If these happen, it will be awesome!
