My offering

Thanks, the editing helped a lot! But it is pretty much what i look at each day.

How do you store / display yours?

Got around to taking a shot (and editing it for stylistic effect!) of how I display my gear. What do you think?

There are obvious similarities but given Skyfall was a good 30 years after Raiders and from all the discussion and evidence you can find from Nadoolman and Wested on the design process for the first Raiders jacket I suspect the Skyfall design is more likely to be an Indy inspired jacket than the oth...

My Herbert Johnson with some Camels in Africa last week.

Rather change his default look I think I'd like to have seen more variations, like a cold/snow variation (shearling collar maybe?) or maybe a rainy adaptation with taller boots. Or maybe a version of his outfit where he takes his students on a field trip, so kind of half and half between the advent...

Hey, thanks. The technique is little, often and varied. I was patient with it. Initially I took a simple scouring sponge (those yellow ones with a green abrasive side) and hit the raised bits like seams, pocket poppers, buckles etc. Then I wore it and every opportunity I had I would rub up against r...

Distressed my legacy Raiders jacket - what do ya’ll think? Looking for some feedback.

Exploring the African bush is style, this is my HJ Poet Raiders in rabbit fur. I’ve had it about 3 years now and it’s the go too as I travel across Eastt Africa. My passports clocked up 10 countries in 7months. Some of the trips have been very Indy worthy.

It's been talked about ad nauseum, but I believe it's generally accepted that TOD and LC weren't exactly the same blocks. The LC block was built off the TOD block but appears to give more volume to the crown. It's definitely higher in a lot of scenes in LC, especially the second half of the movie, ...

Thanks, fabulous is a fabulous word!

Been distressing my Wested raiders legacy jacket for a while, a lot of actual wearing but some small additions every now and then. Bit of scrubbing, bit of watering, bit of rubbing in the dirt etc. Feel it’s really getting there. I want to add some patina in areas that rub up against the real world ...

I wondered if anyone had some cool creative ways to display their gear? There is the obvious manakin option but these always look a bit stale and the stuff hangs off them badly and doesn’t scream adventure. I have a cool way of hanging the whole, bag and hat together but want to include the jacket s...

Thanks for the explanation for the small string, makes perfect sense.

Any clues on the maker?

Hi all, I was gifted a MKVII for Christmas which is awesome, it looks in great quality too. I’ve been through most of this thread and found it very interesting. I’m struggling to ID this brand though. I can see some references to OBCL which is probably this one but it looks more like CBC with the fo...
