Thanks for the tip, I think that I will give it a try this weekend. I don't know if I should use a dye remover before re-dying the bag. Since it should end up darker, I think I may just try and re-dye it. Anyway, Thanks

Not to long ago I got a vintage Canadian MK VII, which has the really cool snap pocket on the inside. However, when I got it, it was a little more well used than I was led to believe. It even had bright green paint on all the metal hardware(also not mentioned by seller). Anyway after extensive scrub...

So,
Being new here I don't know what is you real life job is...
Does sound really cool though, I hope you have a blast!

Good Luck,

Nice Jacket Man, still waiting on mine

Reggie

I live in Jacksonville, my brother in Tallahassee.....we both just ordered goat for the durability and the water resistance. I guess it comes down to what you are going to use the jacket for. If you are going to wear it often in an and every condition I would go for Goat, if you are going to wear it...

I have viewed a lot of the posts and many people speak of making a pattern for a MK VII. Has anyone torn one apart and done this yet? I am thinking of making a leather MK VII and would love to have a pattern to go by.

Later,

On the difference between 200 and 2000 dollar watches.... Jackets, bags, and watches are my downfall and finding this website as mad my wife a not so happy camper as my spending habits have increased. I have loved wrist watches since I can remember and have owned dozens in my lifetime. However, havi...

I found this on E-bay tonight, guy says he has sold over 900, I figure that someone here must have one then. Just wanted to know if anyone does and what is it like. Is it worth the $40? In the pic the strap looks kinda red and cheap. Please let me know. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...

Ya Know, All this would be a hack of a lot easier if Indy had just worn a pair of cheap flip flops (thongs for you non-american folk). Then it would be a matter of which discount store had the best $1 pair of brown flops. Maybe, Indy should have just gone Barefoot kinda like Cain in Kung Fu. Then we...

Hey All RIGHT!!! Now Peter, oh where are my manners, SIR Peter if we could only talk you into making a Wested version of the Mk VII bag that would be great! Not only for us GearHeads but anyone looking for a good quality day bag. I know of a few people around here that would love a Leather version o...

Has anyone ever thougt of asking a company like Filson to make some sort of modern day reproduction of the Mk VII? I mean they look like handy bags to have for everyday purposes, I have a bag approximently the same size and I use it everyday. Anyone got any connections with Filson? Just something to...

MK,
Uhmm.....Thanks I think, I figured the Lord of Distessing would be able to give me an answer a little less distressing. j/k

Thanks, for any help you can give me.

Reggie

Forgive a newbie to the forum, I have read some stuff in the distressing section and some things here and I am getting some conflicting information. Does the Goatskin turn Grey when distressed? or does it turn a lighter shade of brown? I recently ordered my first Wested jacket (Crusade, Goat, Brass,...

I read something in another topic discussing wether or not Indy had more than one jacket, as he had lost his equipment at different stages in the movies. I recently watched the films again trying to decide which jacket to order from Wested and happen to notice something in Raiders. Now being new to ...
