I agree with everyone else, those Parkhursts look like lovely quality boots.

Thunderspy

I bought this and I like it. For £20 it's a nice little bag.

Thunderspy

I do think that he seems to look noticeably fitter, and even younger, in the interview in the Making Doc than he does in the film(!), so the explanation about recovery from his injury may well be right.

Thunderspy

Yes that's a good point, it's probably not a bad match for the heavier Skull jacket.

Thunderspy

I do love my Novapelle; it's not like a screen-used jacket, but just has a lovely feel to it.
I was watching the Dungeons & Dragons film, and Chris Pine's jacket in that looked quite similar I thought.

Thunderspy

Yeah I think the reason for tweaks to the costume would very likely have been in order to suit Ford as he is now (although I guess that doesn't quite explain why the prologue costume looks off!). I tend to think the more tapering hat is most likely because he's lost a bit of weight in the face and n...

John Nathan Turner. I don't know if it was a screen-used or not, but you'd imagine he wouldn't have too many HJs about the house

It was surprisingly small in the crown, huge in the brim!

Thunderspy

Funnily enough a few weeks ago I tried on an HJ Poet which was owned by the ex-producer of Doctor Who, likely to have been worn by Tom Baker as the Doctor!

Thunderspy

That would be great to see. Have they said which hat from DoD their retail one represents? There seem to be several different shapes through the film to my eye. For our site interview, Michelle told me that once they nailed the look of the hat, they were all built to the same specs. At one point Fo...

So my cheeky Chinese Wolverine ripoffs as recommended by IndianaBravo just arrived and... erm.. they're great? They fit well, they're comfortable straight out of the box (I would even say unusually comfortable: I recently bought some well-reviewed Italian boots and they're not as good as this), and ...

'Rough out suede'; I'm not sure I've come across that but they look very cool.
I wonder how they possibly came up with their name for that boot design?

Thunderspy

That's superb! Really enjoyable thread. I was watching that scene again recently and it's quite funny to watch it on slo-mo, shot-by-shot: it was clearly shot quite differently and they've had to edit it very heavily. At one point there's a guy on the ground who we never even saw get involved, and ...

Thunderspy

Yeah I thought exactly the same. It’s frustrating because the hat in the Tangier scenes looks absolutely perfect Indy.

Thunderspy

I've not come across Silverman's before; what an odd shop- they seem to be a mix of a camping shop and military surplus?

For twenty quid I'll probably take a punt on that bag!

Thunderspy

I think that looks great; the sleeves have really got that Temple thing and make me want one

Thunderspy

Must admit you've persuaded me, at that price they look good. I find boots sizing tricky though: I take a US10/44 in Nikes, but other boots I have I wear a 43, one pair is even 42. Fingers crossed I've got the right size!

That's a good question! I'm not sure myself. I think the Legacy is their sort of new, ultimate screen-accurate version, is that right?

Thunderspy

I ordered mine just before covid hit and waited 10 months for it, but that was at the height of lockdown etc. and their business had to shut down several times over that period so I would not expect their lead times to be that long now. I think it's still likely to be a couple of months though- it w...

Thunderspy

I don't know the answers I'm afraid; I have a striated lamb which I really like but I haven't seen the other ones in person. If you're not keen on the striations then I'd say definitely go with the non-striated version. When I bought mine three years ago delivery time was very long but hopefully tha...

I guess you could say a baseball bat is sports equipment too

They can hurt people and I wouldn't wear one on the street as the police may not look kindly on it, but if you're dressed as Indy I think they'd probably understand

Thunderspy

I did think it was quite funny to see all the Indy fans at the premiere in central London, all wearing bullwhips on their belt, which I would definitely class as an offensive weapon!

Thunderspy

Ah great, thanks.

How do you spot it?

I really like the look of it; great job.

Thunderspy

They don't look very nice in the (quite weird) photos.

The Wested one looks nicer to me, and doesn't have that horrendous lining.

Thunderspy

I have a standard (so this is the non-film 'streetwise' version) 40" Raiders in lamb from about six or so years ago I guess. Pit to pit seems like 22" when laid out with the zip done up (although I always have trouble measuring these things: you can stretch it out to 23" or so) and sh...

Without wanting to irritate Mr Croft further ( :D ) I was just swinging by to say there's more examples of weathered ones appearing on FB and they do look really nice.

Thunderspy

Beautifully done! Do you have any higher res pics? I’d love to see it in more detail.
What was your process?

Thunderspy

The picture at the top of this thread, second down, shows a darker leather with more subtle texture. Definitely not the same as the brown dino hides I've seen being sent out so far. Almost as if they changed their mind on the leather at the last minute. The skin grain seems to be really inconsisten...

Thunderspy

just curious,were these something that was seen on screen ? No, but for some inexplicable reason, they (at least for LC) gave HF period-accurate undies. :-k I might have dreamt this!..but I remember hearing about a scene in the original screenplay which wasn't filmed where Indy loses his Trousers i...

Thunderspy

Oh that's weird, I've never felt my arms are restricted in any of my Indy jackets. So literally little armpit gussets?

Thunderspy

I need to stop looking at the pics of this one, I'm getting too tempted :D I like the tonal variation through it, and the texture makes it look less 'printed' than their previous distressed leather. A bit of creasing up and it'll look great. Out of interest, what is the 'gussets' option on the Weste...

Thunderspy

Nice! Yours doesn't look as striated as the others I've seen, how is the texture? It's a nice fit.

Thunderspy

Well you know what lighting can do, but the film one does seem orange/browner than previous Indy jackets. I couldn’t say if it’s a great screen match or not, but I do just like the look of it as a jacket.

Thunderspy

I've seen a couple more pics on FB now (they're not my pics to share and are posted in a private group so I don't want to post them here without permission); I definitely know what you mean about the 'dino-hide' look, with the almost reptillian-looking scales on it(!) but I do think it looks really ...

Thunderspy

Yeah it says on the order page that it doesn't come distressed, so that's odd. Maybe that person specified different leather?

Thunderspy

Oh yes, the one I can see has very pronounced grain. Not sure it's a great match for DoD; I don't dislike it though, and the cut looks good. Quite nice for an out-the-box distress.

Thunderspy

I thought I saw it in the long shot as they’re walking away from the pickup.

I took some better photos while on my lunch break. Same breakroom, same poses, better lighting. [emoji38] This jacket is really great! I couldn't be happier with the leather and the fit! It's breaking in beautifully after three days of constant wear. After 1 month of wearing my standard raiders in ...

Thunderspy

Excellent!

Thunderspy

I must admit I never noticed the enormous radio mic which Indy apparently chooses to wear on his belt in this before. I trust you'll be replicating that?

Thunderspy

I couldn’t find it. Could you paste a link maybe?

Thunderspy

Brilliant! I'm glad it turned up as a Christmas treat.
You're lucky- you've still got that beautiful new smell!

Thunderspy

I think that looks very handsome.

Thunderspy

Yeah I wouldn’t disagree, the sleeves do sort of hang under their own weight and don’t make the nicest shape as a result.
