Re: My Wested Jacket looks Grey

Yeah agreed it seems all chrome tanned regardless legacy or not then.

Any idea or sources whether the original film ones were also chrome tanned?

Re: Adam Savage Indy's Leather Jacket Details

Interesting that the label in the video says Raiders II and states that it is Berman and Nathans not Leather Concessionaries. Perhaps this is the proverbial “leather shirt” in Temple and it’s origin. Either: 1. Vic’s version here was one that was made/ labelled for Temple in early preproduction whil...

Sorry just following up on this old post because while I was searching for threads om the grey issue, I realized there was another report of the grey on the Legacy line too: https://indygear.net/cow/viewtopic.php?p=954450&hilit=Grey#p954450 This would suggest that the legacy jackets are also, at...

Re: New Old YIJ hat

Wow that is spot on and it looks great on you!
Thanks for sharing this!

I have a soft spot for this YIJ one. This one feels like it was the hat he loved since childhood and has a warm charm to it.

1952 Marshall briefcase close-enough

Ok, just got a mil tec as well. MFH is still better by far. MFH has a straight body, the straps are still leather. The grain is loose but it is thicker.

Re: $500K Fedora

For sure the raft scenes as it seems to fit those little details and also Dean's own photos and pay stubs for those scenes support this further. Some of the details for the other scenes seem a little more up to speculation. Not listed by the auctioneer, but now I wonder if this might also have been ...

We might have to review our interpretation that there was but one weathered hat that was originally the pristine hat!

Hey ChrisW, here is my Advintage Harrison with an LC bash and while I can´t compare it to a HJ LC I do have a Destiny Poet to compare it to. You will quickly notice that the HJ crown is a bit fuller compared to the Harrison. Left is the Harrison and right the DoD Poet http://i.imgur.com/4k45a39m.jp...

Just chiming in on an MFH I got in 2023 had some poor stitching that’s been unravelling all over as of 2024. I don’t have a Mil-Tec to compare with but oddly the Mil-Tec description above sounds a lot like what I would describe my MFH in terms of lighter hardware and quality. I still love this bag t...

Alas the Jcrew Kenton Pacers aren’t listed anymore on the site, but if they come back I’d highly recommend it and they feel tougher than my Aldens. Their last batch was of a higher quality than videos I’ve seen of their older versions and match the more recent Rose Anvil cutaway: Last 2023 batch: ht...

Awesome! I don’t have a Harrison but I have been wondering about getting one with an LC bash some day. I saw an old post about how the Harrison’s specs suit Raiders the most as opposed to, say an LC? Is that true now that more people probably have one? How would it compare with a current HJ with a L...

Thanks for the screencaps website!

Hmmm, these two below might be the clearest shots. I can't really tell if those are just creases or a very light toe cap. Unfortunately Raiders doesn't seem too clear.

Dress shoes in the first 3 movies?

Does anyone know what dress shoes Harrison wore during formal occasions (campus,Club Obi Wan, Venice) in the first three movies? I seem to remember a thread noting that KOTCS might have been another model of Aldens, but have no idea if this was also the case for the previous films. Apologies if this...
