So my takeaway is that an A-2 was the jacket modified to become Indy's jacket, but the look of the M-421A is no accident as it was likely using the A-2 design as a starting point. So it's absolutely fair to say the M-421A looks like an Indy jacket. I just don't see the link that it was the jacket, ...

Hi folks There is a popular opinion there that the Indy Jacket was based on A2 pilot jacket, modified for warmer climate. But recently I found the United States Navy M-421A summer flying jacket , which is surprisingly similar to the Indy Jacket. Basically the only difference is the half-belt on the ...

I wonder what all that type work would add to the cost of the boot? Granted, if done from the get-go, it should be close, but with the better materials and the added tongue gusset, I’d bet they’d probably be closer to an $800+ price tag. Regards! Michaelson Regards! The thing is Aldens are massivel...

Hi guys There is an interesting video on Rose Anvil builds about making Alden Indy Boots actually adventure-ready: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc8ZdebM6WA Taylor, the cobbler, replace all the inferior materials, like cardboard and leather-board, with veg-tanned leather, he also swaps soles for t...

/That's a great job, but man, 600 $ boots shouldn't have that issues by default!

No, I asked them to not make a distress at all.

Thanks! They are Wolverine 1000 miles in Color No 8 Shell Cordovan.

Hello I just want to share my very first Indy jacket - Calzadora '36 (so the Raider version) from Steele&Jones. Made from thin horsehide - very soft and comfortable leather, also, it smells wonderful. Unfortunately, when I checked the S&J today, they don't mention the horsehide anymore. Cont...

Great looking knife -very raiders . Unfortunately for me living in the UK not something I can carry in public. Thanks! No worries, in Romania it's the same. You can own it, but you're not allowed to have it on you. Legally a 7 cm blade is OK, but even that will earn you a record ... I got it for th...

Actually, Rose Anvil made a second part of the video, on his other channel: He bought a second pair of Indy's, made of Horween cordovan, and wore it for a month. Here is the review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpTtwklUKS0&t=1054s The results? Great last, comfortable, but quality issues, spli...

Hi folks On the Youtube channel Rose Anvil,you can see a dissection of Alden Indies boots. The guy literally cuts them in half and examine every part of it: leather, midsole, outsole, heel stacks and so on. Long story short - it is far from a perfect boots in Rose Anvil's opinion. https://www.youtub...

I love cargo pants... but I'm rough on them and tend to shred the knees. Levis made decent ones, but alas I destroyed those too. My go-to cargo pants now are these by Wrangler: https://www.wrangler.com/shop/wrangler-riggs-workwear-ripstop-ranger-cargo-pant-3W060.html" onclick="window.open...

In my opinion, no break pants, like here, in the Duke of Windsor photo, gives you a clean, neat look. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q5CsfCWKf-M/S8rb5sguzlI/AAAAAAAAAFc/5y1x2V0qXbU/s1600/duke-of-windsor-0907-lg.jpg Historically speaking, British preferred a break, and Americans no break (the Duke proffer...

Ok, finally I got my order.

Tying a bowtie isn't perfect yet. In fact, this is my the first time I ever wear a bowtie.

What style of collar are you picturing?

Well, actually most of the contemporary styles of collars should be fine, but the one with long pointy edges. would be the best IMO.

Hi As an owner of a bespoke tweed suit, I decided to complete the look and buy a bowtie. Indy, in some scenes, is wearing a necktie, but in most scenarios, we can see him wearing a bowtie with suit. Unfortunately, most of the photos are somehow flimsy, but I am sure that he owns: the red one https:/...

Perfect modern fit, not the baggy one we know from the films. I love them! How much is the cavalry twill per square meter or sqaure foot at Magnoli's? Actually they sell it 68 USD per yard https://www.magnoliclothiers.com/cavalry-twill-pure-wool-yardage-p-383.html" onclick="window.open(th...

Great job! Was the total cost lower than custom made pair from Magnoli? Actually slightly more expensive, but I am sure about fit (obviously because them were a bespoke pair instead of ready-to-wear). And the promised photos: https://imgur.com/a/0h5ZC08" onclick="window.open(this.href);re...

Velahrn, those pants are absolutely gorgeous! They look pretty screen accurate, too. :o Btw, are you in the UK? Thanks! No, I live in Poland, Warsaw. Błoński tailor shop is based in Warsaw too https://www.facebook.com/blonskibespoke" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And if yo...

Hello A few month earlier, I asked about proper Indy trousers cloth. After some advice, I finally decided to order a wool from Magnoli - apparently, they not only make Indy style pants, but they also sell fabric for it. Trousers were made by a Polish master tailor Józef Błoński, and cost about 150 U...

EDIT: I just checked and they came with the accurate 3 inch hem, too!

Could you post the picture of the hem (outside and inside) ?

Hi there, In my opinion this fawn color is not the correct one. Too light as it seems from the picture. The ROTLA trousers were more of a taupe-brown color almost dark stone. You should keep looking at various wool fabric suppliers at Saville Row or any other place in UK. For sure they have swatche...

Welcome aboard! Based on what I see on my computer, that fabric color is a bit on the light side, could be a good LC look, but the ROLA color is generally considered to be a bit darker. Where are you located? Back in 2012 I bought fabric to have trousers made. I found a site in the US, but I don't ...

Hello, this is my first post here. I am going to order a bespoke Indy-style trousers and looking for the right cloth. It has to be wool. As far as I know a cavalry twill would be the most accurate weave. There are some companies, English mostly, that still make and sell cavalry twill fabric. Unfortu...
