... One thing I don't quite get... if you put your hands inside the crown and pull slightly from front to back, you'll see the sides swoop up more. Won't a hat stretcher exaggerate the side swoop? The swoop makes the hat! Yes, the stretcher will do the same thing as putting you hands in the crown a...

Mine is two curved and tapered blocks of wood with a turnbuckle between. I've used it dry and I've used steam to relax the felt and sweatband. Leave it in the stretcher overnight or however long you wish. My noggin is a long oval and the stretcher does a nice job of getting the "swoop" as ...

I got mine (lamb with cotton liner) used from the EU and it had a strong cologne odor plus the sleeves were a bit long. I wore it in a warm shower and a lot of dye washed out. Took off the jacket, rolled it up and squeezed the water out. Put it back on and pushed the sleeves above my elbows. Took i...

Someone posted they brush up against a brick wall any chance they get while wearing the jacket. Good for a few scrapes. Mine has held up well on the outside, but the inside of the jacket is a different story...

Found this in an old Popular Science magazine from April 1932: https://i.imgur.com/8UbONnH.jpg The description reads: "This wire hat holder designed after the fashion of coat hangers, clamps to the wall and the wire band, working on a spring, lets the hat slip beneath it and then holds it snug...

Those Chinos from LL Bean are not a good choice for Indy Pants. Go with wool Cavalry twill. You can read up on it here:

I started out on COW but after seeing several of the guys from the Fedora Lounge show up at the Queen Mary, I migrated to vintage clothing. Seems all my vintage fedoras are grey. Just my Indy hats are brown or sable.

Just to add to the conversation:

Seems you have the Indy jacket experience covered. Have you thought of looking into vintage horsehide jackets? If you are still set on an Indy jacket, you already know the Wested Horsehide fit, feel and particulars. Call them up and request the LC but with a Raiders collar. And keep just the one sin...

zeus36

Get that Raiders look to match your jacket: Sit on it, stomp on it, smash the sides together between your hands while you are not wearing it. Wear it while you are sweating. Put it on when you get out of the shower. It was interesting to see Indy gear at some of the events that looks brand new, cre...

Starting back in 2012 with the Dark Knight Rises Colorado shooting, followed with Star Wars in 2015, then with the movie "Joker" coming out as well as the 2018 remake of the Halloween movie, theaters started banning masks that concealed your whole face and props that looked like weapons. T...

The M-65 Field Jacket has similar pockets and a similar collar as pictured in the Mulholland Master. For cold weather motorcycle riding I picked up an M-65 Field Jacket in black and added a 2" black pistol belt. An option I used was adding a black cotton vest over the jacket then attached the b...

I'd get the plastic hat shaper and use a heat gun to reform it to the #52 shape. Use that side-by-side photo from Howard W. as a guide.
It's just ABS and fairly thin too. Maybe even a hair dryer would work...

Since I have this thread going, let me ask you all this: what is the purpose of wetting/soaking/showering leather jackets? Is it JUST to get it to mold to your body, or does it have other benefits? Other than possible shrinking, does it cause any permanent effect on the jacket? Can one get away wit...

zeus36

This is too cool! Is there some way to pin that Steranko autographed photo on the site?

zeus36

Can you post a picture of the inside of the hat please?

Liner, sweatband, tags, etc...

zeus36

I'm afraid I couldn't hold a candle to your awesome pictures!

zeus36

...With that said, though (and with that sweet mag pouch and jacket in your possession), why don't you start putting together something similar? ;) :tup: I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that this thread would certainly welcome some other Steranko outfits from our talented members here at C.O.W. ...

zeus36

I've been looking at the Steranko artwork and think the mag pouch was canvas instead of leather. If you compare the leather jacket, Sam Brown strap, leather pants belt and leather holster, none of them match the mag pouch in the artwork. Maybe I'm biased since my mag pouch is canvas with a snap fast...

Well, you don't want a stiff Indy hat if you are going for Raiders.
The Herbert Poet was very floppy. Beat the snot out of your Fed and soften it up.

Victor Mature in "Samson and Delia" comes to mind when I look at that Steranko artwork. Has anyone brought the Steranko Indy costume to fruition? :) I did it for Halloween but my better half wanted me in something different, so no pics (even had an old clove unfiltered cigarette hang out o...

I have been to the Gibson and Barnes store in El Cajon several times and even back before they were G & B. I tried on every leather jacket model they had in the store and found them to be roomier to the point I dropped down to size 40 for most of their leathers even though I wear a 42. Of course...

Add a Sam Browne strap (easily found on eBay) to the leather pistol belt, and you're all set. :TOH: The pistol belt in the artwork is a cotton military 2 inch web belt. The pants belt is leather at maybe 1.25 inches. Perhaps Steranko intended the leather chest strap to be part of the pants belt in ...

Another old thread brought back.... I actually prefer the outfit shown in the pre-production sketch, so I put together a second outfit that I based on the Steranko artwork. I may catch some flak, but it looks more styled than Ford's outfit. The jacket is from Banana Republic and has the same color a...

Wow!,

You should start a "Post your Magnoli Jackets" thread. That is a SWEET piece of animal hide.

Instead of washing it in a machine, I wore my lamb LC in a warm shower. Once it was fully saturated, I pushed up the sleeves to my elbows and slipped out of the jacket, laid it outside on table in the shade for a day. The sleeves had been a bit long without any character. Allowing them to dry in the...

Nice shot of the Streets of Cairo hat too! Crown height looks awesome. Definitely a 10 footer. 98.327% of the time that we see it on his belt it's a 10'. When he cracks it or has it in his hand it's usually an 8' http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a612/heybrahey/Jones_zps90a57ebd.jpg :-k [-(

What's the info on your jacket in the photo?

zeus36

Hmmm, 65% polyester would be way too hot under a jacket for me.... and you gotta have wrinkles!

zeus36

Another tip: I took a shower wearing just my Wested and pushed up the sleeves to dry in a distressed manner.

If you can find any Carolina Huskers on Ebay...- American made steel toe and around 50 bucks if I recall; but they were discontinued years ago.

Several members used them for close-enoughs, including me.

Thanks, I bought a rig just like that and wore it to the Aero Theater a few years ago for the screening of the trilogy. I've used other aspects from larger versions of the Steranko artwork to put together an outfit. ( especially the jacket- got an old Bananna Republic version that is spot on) While ...
