If I don't meet my quota of misspelled werds in my posts then people wont believe it's reelly me righting

T.E. Lawrence

Thats a fine testament indeed and I am glad you had such a good experience. Mine held up for 3 to 4 weeks before the leather started riping at the seems. I must say I like the general fit of the jacket.

T.E. Lawrence

Ugggggh It lives..... Actually they are using the full name in their ads

T.E. Lawrence

No wait.....that's a preservative We want this thing DEAD -- Mustard?

T.E. Lawrence

Someone Please pass the salt.

T.E. Lawrence

Looks like bothe Wested and US.Wings offer that buckle....WOW look at the scallop on that pocket flap...now thats cinematic.

T.E. Lawrence

Well Michaelson - I certainly trust and respect your knowledge base - so in case any bones went missing I guess my lack of research have brought them back to the museum.

T.E. Lawrence

I do not mean to dig up old bones but in the small print part of the article to the right the state clearly and boldly that they designed and supplied the original for ROTLA. Is this true or not....BTW I recieved the flyer from USW yesterday.

T.E. Lawrence

Ah DING DANG IT!!! I thought Templars did me in and I was DONE with Indy Gear but this post Pulled me back in....UGH..... I love the ROTLA jacket. I dont even have a Fav anymore... (I have my least Favs but even they have their merrits) For what it is to worth anyone's research -- here is a reissue ...

T.E. Lawrence

If that was the case, US Wings quality control stunk because his first jacket was very flawed with different sized pockets. I was given a practically new USW indy jacket during the filming of TOTT by one of the cast. The tag said 'Gaot' but it felt like lamb. Within three weeks the stitching at the...

T.E. Lawrence

I got this flyer from U.S. Wings and was taken aback by it's printed claim....Anyone know anything about this???

T.E. Lawrence

I trust you will not be disapointed.......................post pics

T.E. Lawrence

So as One TinSoldier rides away may he buy the hat of his dreams. Ya might chec into his strap,holster, gun and bag too if your are so inclined.

ps
All Hail Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T.E. Lawrence

when new to the forum my wait for the kepler was frustrating to say the least however - there is a big BUT (everyones got a big butt) ..... The hat was worth the wait and it served me well on many adventures around the globe. And Steve.... I can take some pointers from you on graciousness.....(Indy ...

T.E. Lawrence

Mine took 11 months to get - Nice Hat thought - I now go with Adventeure Built Beaver (See avita) This one got stolen ------- Just ordered another.

T.E. Lawrence

Michaelson, Thanks for your perspective and experience and also for acknowledging the "Theorey" aspect as well as rightly mentioning the the "turn" only appears in some of the Raiders shots. I think the thought that there is a definitive Raiders hat is in the eyes of the beholder...

T.E. Lawrence

In re-reading this thread I have the urge to make it perfectly clear that My opinion on the turn has nothing to do with my opinion and HIGH PRAISE for Steve and his AB masterpieces. Not one day has gon by that I have not worn my AB lid ---- I will be ordering another when I can........ (No Turn Ofco...

T.E. Lawrence

My writing skills must be off if I came across as put off by this thread. Forgive the curtness. As many of us fans are, I am passionate and oppinionated and could learn from restraint of tongue and pen. Thanks for your graciousness. And I am sure that a turned hat looks as good as any other if not b...

T.E. Lawrence

Yes - Darn Funny

T.E. Lawrence

Alright alright - Fair enough that a hat on a long oval may turn I would not know I am a round oval and my lids stay put Natural Raiders Swoop and all. But Harry did not wear just one lid in Raiders and having worked wardrobe it is unlikeley that the costumer said "Ya know this looks better if ...

T.E. Lawrence

Don’t stone me but I think the turn is the silliest THEARY I have heard to date. Mine AB came turned because I did not specify and I had to reblock it so it didn’t look like I slaped it on my head while drunk. One good turn deserves another so once I got it that’s just what I did. I love the AB and ...

T.E. Lawrence

I am impressed. Hmmmmmm Ya may be getting a lid from me, marc.

T.E. Lawrence

LLLLLLllllllllluuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvV My Keplar Strap and Buckle. Use it every day. Rugged, Handsome, accurate for my taste and practical.

T.E. Lawrence

Marvelous!

T.E. Lawrence

OMG.... I have only heard of your offerings. I have been so overwhelmed with getting Templars finished that I have not been checking in. GREAT STUFF I cannot wait to see some of this stuff hands on. The boots and shirt look wonderful and I really like that you offer so many colors to satisfy everyon...

T.E. Lawrence

I share your joy.

T.E. Lawrence

Ken TOO Funny. These compare pics put a huge smile on my face. Thanks... but the beard still goes.

T.E. Lawrence

Ever heard of 'Just for Men'?

It's the beard itself not the grey -- that's what Photoshop is for.

T.E. Lawrence

The Ap is OPEN OPEN OPEN,

Thanks Shanghi but the beard makes me feel too old so once the film wraps so does the beard.

T.E. Lawrence

All for you, my friend

T.E. Lawrence

I'm glad every one likes the picks. It seems the main question is the expossure time. I think I only had it open for about 30 seconds to avoid blur from the earth rotation. I kranked the gamma in post just to see some detail in the blacks because I was not sure haw it would look over the i-net. but ...

T.E. Lawrence

Was out in the AZ dez and wanted to take a pic of the amazing stars - I needed a long expossure to get it.... A great Camera needs a great tripod which I did not have with me so I used my head ... or at least what goes on my head :roll: http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/8160/spy4pi.jpg http://img39...

T.E. Lawrence

I vote for an off white or even a light creme or antique.

T.E. Lawrence

If ya wear it enough it should shrink...mine always do.

T.E. Lawrence

God be with you Steve, and those in the thick of it.

T.E. Lawrence

Grrrrreeeeeeat Trousers - Where does one aquire them?

T.E. Lawrence

Heck at that price buy a few and have them altered to be a real Indy shirt. Hmmmm My gears are cranking- doesn't this obsession ever end?

ps - I think the LLBeans have the best fabric out of all the offerings I've owned.

T.E. Lawrence

If I knew then what I know now...

Oh well I'm sure I'll go through it with my daughter soon enough----alas

T.E. Lawrence

Hope you don't mind, T.E.! I just didn't want this great piece of info going the way of the Dodo. Gosh- not at all. I'm honored to have finally contributed something of value since this forum has given me so much. T.E., I hope you get things sorted out on your Wested too. That was a lousy situation...

T.E. Lawrence

Really interesting observation and Highly possible, having had some experience in Film wardrobe. I just put mine on and checked out my own bumm and did not see any lines either however Harry's cheeks seem particularly smooth - dare I say. BTW Does your boss know that youre studying Harrisons kiester...

T.E. Lawrence

I recently purchased the newer Wested trousers and had the pocket Flaps altered to look more like Indy's - Someone asked me about this in another thread so I thought I'd pass on the info I have gathered from mistakes I made when buying my original run of the lighter trousers. Hope the following is u...

T.E. Lawrence

I think I'll start a new thread with this info - It might be hlpful for others. Let me know about the Flap -- where to send it.

T.E. Lawrence

PM me with your address and I'll send you one of the flaps - NO CHARGE - Just send it back or pass it on to another fan who may need the reference. Re Material for the flap - When I bought the trousers from Peter at Wested I ordered them one size larger and asked for the longest Unhemed pair he had....

T.E. Lawrence

Once again proof that you shouldn't post when your tired. At least you spelling doesn't **** like my post. Hey with the hours I keep I'm tired all the time but that's not my problem -- I just can't type. KC - What area do you live in - Mybe there is an Indy fan near you who has the newer trousers a...

T.E. Lawrence

Id Say Raiders

T.E. Lawrence

Dan You are so right - I think that expossure of the scene has alot to to with it as well. In the Ciro scene Indys trousers have always looked really dark to me and I think it is because they expossed for all the sunlight sand, stone and whitish clothes. so the darker items went really dark.

T.E. Lawrence

A Reflection on the owner to be sure. Um - Beat up not retired.

T.E. Lawrence

UhOh - "Droooool" This is gonna get messy.

T.E. Lawrence

Indeed it is. Due to cement goo getting on it and having to rub it out with chemicals (Rum Accetone etc) As I mentioned somewhere the FS is the jacket to have if you want something that will take a beating and have few blemishes but if you just want a reasonably priced Indy jacket why not go to the ...

T.E. Lawrence

Again - Just curious - I paid alot of money for my FS Goat and It is the toughest jacket I have ever owned. But now that I have a Wested I don't think I would go back in time and spend the money again on the FS. I have not had the Wested long enough to see if it fairs through my adventures like the ...
