Has anyone received one of these new shirts yet? Any reviews?

mr_alex

I also found these goggles for a great price. Is anyone familiar with this seller? The price is so good, I want to make sure that the website is legit. I know that there was a issue with scammer websites when we were collecting the DoD bag. Assuming this is above board, it's a great (and affordable!...

mr_alex

As it happens, What Price Glory sells a reproduction of this exact parka! Could be a good options for a 'close enough' cosplay. And the price isn't bad!

Incredible work!

I'm a big fan of the Magnoli bag because you can opt for a ' modern layout' version that has pockets sized much better for E.D.C. there are pen holders, pockets perfectly fitted for your phone, etc. I'm carry this bag almost every day (either to hold my stuff, or as a diaper bag) and I think it's gr...

mr_alex

Looks like the order is happening and the site is live.

Did anyone end up receiving one of these new shirts? Very curious to hear some reviews.

What's the special, new find???

mr_alex

That's not just close enough, it's the same one. Just have to paint it. I spotted those back in 2020, guess I only posted it on the RPF. Really? This is the screen used flashlight? That's so cool! How'd you figure that out? Do you know of any good tutorials for painting these? I see that folks are ...

mr_alex

At the risk of necro posting, I just picked up this close enough CS flashlight to use while exploring the Widow Jane mine next weekend.

Wow!

Out of curiosity, what's the detail you weren't able to incorporate?

mr_alex

More photo support for 'no break', especially given that his pants are sitting closer to his hips than his waist in this picture...

mr_alex

I'm excited to see if any new insights will come to light once Young Indy comes to Disney+!

mr_alex

That does help! Thanks for sharing. I've seen this photo, but never token note of this detail before.

What I've settled on doing is getting the pants hemmed so that there's no break when the pants are up at my waist, but if they slide down to my hips then the break appears on its own.

mr_alex

Magnoli has Indy boots in standard sizes, and I'd recommend those. They're pretty comfortable, especially compared to the Pacer boots. The leather is much thinner, and the dye rubs off easily (great for distressing! not great for sneaking Indy gear into a nice outfit - hence why I got the Pacer's as...

mr_alex

What made you stick with Alden's for the boots? Based on the early posts in this thread, I thought you would land on something else.

mr_alex

As a wise man once said,

"The search for the the perfect gear is the search for the divine in all of us. But if you want facts, Indies, I've none to give you. At my age, I'm prepared to take a few things on faith."

mr_alex

Thank you!

mr_alex

Seeing the post about the suitcase featured in the DoD trailer got me wondering about Indy's other pieces of luggage. Has anyone ever identified the suitcase in Temple of Doom? As in "Shorty, get our stuff"? Here is the best pictures I could find doing a quick skim of screen caps. https://...

mr_alex

Thanks for the info. The upgrade looks great! Glad to hear you're enjoying the MotB vibes

mr_alex

What size buttons did you use for the upgrade?

mr_alex

So... What are the deets???

mr_alex

Similar to this color?

mr_alex

So, in the end, what color IS it?

Is it a traditional camel color? Or something with more gray tones to make that color shift?

mr_alex

I ordered a pair after Christmas. They fit true to size but are very stiff. I'm not sure what the best way to soften them up will be, but it is definitely a process that takes more than just breaking them in. They're good looking boots but I don't wear them for any long walks because they cut into m...

mr_alex

Nice find! And, selfishly, I'm excited to hear that this piece is available from a contemporary vendor

mr_alex

Any updates, Holt? Looking forward to hearing your further adventures collecting this costume. Still waiting to hear about the brown cardigan, the scarf, and boots!

Happy searching

mr_alex

Inspired by Holt's awesome Mystery of the Blues Builder's thread ( https://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=73464 ) I've been working on picking out some more MotB pieces for myself, and currently I'm on the hunt for a pair of winter gloves. https://www.indygear.com/cow/download/file.php?id=1644...

mr_alex

I found them thriftstore searching on the bay. I really admire the tenacity that must have gone into this, as well as scouring the internet for all of the other vintage items. I'm getting lost and overwhelmed looking for contemporary close-enough's from online retailers. This thread is a lot of fun...

mr_alex

To be honest, the top ones are decent. It has the 3 lines and side split. but the leather looks suede and they are too long. They kinda remind me of womens gloves. and the bottom one is way off. Check out my gloves above, these are as close to screen accuracy as I believe you can get. :TOH: Hahaha,...

mr_alex

Holt, how close would you say these gloves are?

mr_alex

I just wanted to share that I just picked up a satchel with the modern interior, and it's fantastic! I had the been using the same bag with the classic interior for about 15 years, and having a bag that's actually set up to carry around my everyday essential has been a game changer. Just so much mor...

mr_alex

I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts and knowing more about the custom work you end up doing to it. I may very well follow suit! I assume one of the modifications will be to switch out the buttons. Do you have any thoughts on the question below? Also, heads up that when I ordered a L it came w...

mr_alex

I'm excited to find out more about those gloves!

mr_alex

Amazing find! Certainly looks the part

mr_alex

If you could switch out the grips on the HFC it looks like they'd be identical!

mr_alex

Just saw folks talking about this as another possible 'close enough' MotB cardigan on facebook...

Where do you live? I've been trying to find caps in US, but no dice. The vendors I've found internally who offer them won't ship here. If you have any leads, please send me a PM! :D Also, if you were interested in getting really crafty with it, this would probably look awesome with the graphite fini...

mr_alex

Hmmm.... that's interesting! Unless I'm just missing it in the photo, the scarf appears much darker than the camel tone of the Magnoli Wyoming Scarf I just picked up... As we sort of true colors, I'll be curious what folks end up concluding the true tone of that might be. Based on the current conver...

I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/VOBOOM-Knitwear-Cardigan-Sweater-Pockets/dp/B09LR49KSG/ And the buttons I was referring to were these ones that Hollowpond recommended: https://www.amazon.com/RECHERE-Football-Pattern-Imitation-Embellishment/dp/B081RDH11V/ref=sr_1_33?crid=1DLPPNU2TSL4V&k...

Thanks so much for sharing these! Actually looking at this image, it seems that the slightly larger knife is, in fact, spot on. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp137/TexanScott/Indy/RaidersknifeII.jpg A normal pocket knife or Swiss Army knife, I imagine you'd close with your thumb and forefinger....

mr_alex

Do we have any information about the original knife for comparison? Was the Indy knife bigger than a standard pocket knife?

What's the best information we actually have on this prop?

mr_alex

Here are some pictures of the sweater under my Wested Raider's jacket. Sadly for me, my Indy jackets aren't really roomie enough for me to layer this sweater underneath, but I'm happy to have the sweater as a cold weather nod to Indy! Jacket back length: 25.5" (I think this is correct - there i...

mr_alex

I've been looking for other options as well. I'm considering the Mercury 9211DC, but haven't bought it yet. I ordered one inspired by this thread. It came today, and it's a great looking knife and could totally pass for Indy's. My one reservations is: it's kinda big. I was imagining a pocket knife,...

mr_alex

What length whip does the holder fit?

mr_alex

https://www.amazon.com/VOBOOM-Knitwear- ... 09LR49KSG/ My sweater came last week, and it's perfect. The color and the design seem spot-on, and it doesn't even need to be shortened. I've put it on under my Indy jackets (a Wested and a Steele & Jones) and it doesn't stick out the bottom of either...

mr_alex

I had no idea an Akubra could look that good! The crown on my Fed IV is WAY shorter than that. I would love to send you my Akubra for a reblock. Or maybe you can make an how-to video for the rest of us!

mr_alex

Sure thing! First off - the waist has some stretch to it, so that give you some flexibility on sizing off the bat. The top of the waistband is at 15.5" and the bottom of the waistband (the bottom of the belt line) is about 16.5". With stretch, the whole waistband expands to about 17.5"...

mr_alex

...then I don't know how to help you. Go with the size that you wear most often from most retailers. Basically every pair of pants I own is a size 32 waist, and the size 32's from Karolian Dry Goods fit perfectly. My true waist is closer to 33" if that's helpful at all. In any case, the answer ...
