To add another layer of gun history, there does exist a handful of British Government Contract 1911's that they had Colt chamber in .455 Webley. These were used predominantly in WWI. I think if Indy uses a 1911 in wartime, a British Army friend gifts him one, knowing his appreciation for the caliber.

The Fed V notion was just conjecture. Based on how they phrased that little notice I thought it was a possibility.

And I don't think the price got bumped. It's fluctuated for sure, as the exchange rate does, but I thought it was right around where it is now.

Iandiana Jones

Any word?

I see Katoomba has taken most of the Fed IV color options off their site, and the Deluxe is listed as sold out. You have the option to sign up for a mailing list, with this notice: The Federation Hat Project is undergoing some exciting updates in 2024, to stay notified sign up below or follow us on ...

If the Moc toe bears a passing resemblance to Alden 405s, even if you have to squint, I'll be tickled pink.

$200ish for a good quality leather boot is a steal and almost unheard of these days. I've slowly become disappointed in my Keens of similar pricing.

Iandiana Jones

If I had to guess, and I do, it's either gonna be:

Close enough for "close enough" guys like me but not OK for "Screen Accurate" guys.

-or-

Not even a little close.

Iandiana Jones

That's why I asked about Moc Toes.

I tried to glean a little more out of them regarding appearance and price, but it's still being developed.

Jim Green is a South African manufacturer of boots. Work and hiking mostly, they've risen to prominence due to their development of the "African Ranger" boot. They asked a bunch of wildlife rangers what they needed out of a boot, and then made precisely that. And for every 10 pairs purchas...

From what I gather, as I'm yet to own one though I'm on the list, the Fed IV is a tank of a hat. The unstoppable force and the immovable object.

Good luck getting a brown one. They seem to be perpetually sold out (can't imagine why

)

I (seemingly) have a long trunk. So I can't use up the extra length on a Full Windsor, the end wouldn't even come close to where it's supposed to end up.

Frankly I barely make it with the half.

Iandiana Jones

I think I remember that morning. I saw they had some restocked and got hopeful, but nothing for my big head.

Iandiana Jones

If they would only stock my (large) size.

...and if only my car didn't decide to siphon all my spendin' money.

Iandiana Jones

I'll probably do a Half Windsor myself. That's my knot of choice.

Full Winds look hUgE and Four in Hands look starved.

What are those dimensions?

In case it was not common knowledge, WPG has what they describe as a "Raiders Jacket" in cowhide. At the staggeringly low price of $175US. https://www.whatpriceglory.com/products/9667-indiana-jones-raiders-jacket-in-cowhide-leather/ Does anyone have it? Is it decent quality? With respects ...

Any word on when they're getting restocked?

Has anyone thought to ask Bethesda/Machine Games?

Or do we relish the hunt too much for that?

Might just be me being old and paranoid....LOL...... :TOH: Speaking of paranoid, hope you all got physical copies.

Yea, if the dude's down to lie, for Indy, to some of the most evil people on the planet (Nazis), who also don't like other ethnicities, he's not keeping or throwing away Indy's stuff. He's shipping it to (Sallah? Who sends it to Indy) from the first reputable port-city. Also, while we've opened this...

Iandiana Jones

Like how they imply Indy has one jacket despite pointing out the differences between film jackets?

Or they say the Destiny jacket is the Raiders jacket, after pointing out how it was different than the Raiders jacket?

We have a thread for "Close Enough" boots, why not shirts? We're all aware of the many 'Screen Accurate' options that are out there, moving goalpost that it is. But what about the options that just, work? Shirts that are khaki/tan/stone/etc. that feature pockets with a flap AND epaulets. N...

I, like a lot of folks, would enjoy a little more variations as time goes on, outside of the nuaced differences in jacket from film to film. A blue shirt here, Carhart pants there, perhaps a vest in those pesky climates where it's too hot for the jacket. I also would have enjoyed a WWI gas mask bag ...

Here is another great contender for a modern-day Indy gun. Chambered in Indy's favorite .45 caliber and having a four-inch barrel, it is the perfect descendent to his original ROTLA S&W Hand Ejector. I present the Smith & Wesson Model 625-8 Performance Center Jerry Miculek 45 ACP Revolver!!...

How about the Springfield Armory SA-35?

A Hi-Power clone with a few adjustments here and there.

Statistically I knew it was impossible for me alone to have that idea.

Wested offers cotton jackets of the Indy style.

I had this wild and crazy idea a little while ago to buy one and a few cans of Otterwax and make a waxed cotton jacket. I want one but things like Barbour and Filson are beyond my means.

Anyone ever do this?

Iandiana Jones

I'd love some pictures. I want to avoid 'artificial' weathering as much as possible...

...but word on the street is Goathide takes it like a champ.

Iandiana Jones

Perhaps Indy got a charm of some kind that protects his hat.

Iandiana Jones

I've not purchased a jacket, and am strongly considering a Wested Crusade in Goat. I'm aware that goat is tough to weather. Buuuuuuut, there's probably only ever gonna be one of these for me, so I want one that's gonna outlive me. I have an idea to observe the coat over a period of time and see how ...

I think the CS fedora looks good during the opening at the warehouse and the Nuke Town escape afterward. After that though, I would agree that it does look a bit different. Almost as if it had to be thoroughly and vigorously cleaned (like Indy) due to its exposure to radiation, and subsequently reb...

Ok, question: what it the year/ specific model of the blue GMC pickup truck that Indy's driving? To answer my own question, it's a circa 1948-1953 GMC that was referred to as the "New Design"; it has to be no later than 1953 because in 1954, they switched from a two-piece windshield to a ...

For YEARS I was laboring under the misapprehension that the sweater Indy wears was a US GI 5 Button Sweater.

Which makes sense, as a vet of WWII, but the cardigan looks nice too.

Being colorblind probably didn't help either.

Iandiana Jones

As a 'what if' or a 'good enough until' bag, anyone ever use a US M6 service carrier? Sometimes referred to as "US Army Lightweight Service Carrier." https://blog.atthefront.com/us_images/gear/lightweight-gasmask-bag-flat.jpg It was our (US') gas mask bag during WWII that allegedly most se...

Iandiana Jones

Well, it seems .455 is correct, as research points to Indy's Raiders revolver being chambered in .455.

So he seems to have a favorite caliber.

Iandiana Jones

Ok, for clarity:

I also doubt he was on the lines too much.

If he was given a Raiders-type assignment during WWII but with a few more people/equipment, bordering on being an "expedition."

If he felt the need, what would he reach for? I think Mac would grab/use a Thompson.

Iandiana Jones

I imagine that Indy would carry a 1911 as a sidearm during WWII, provided he's not with Mac on one of the "twenty, thirty missions together in Europe and the Pacific," he did for the OSS. But what about larger, main weapons? I go back and fourth over whether he'd carry a submachine gun; li...

Iandiana Jones

I think Indy would stick with the revolver, but he wouldn’t go for the 45 ACP moon clips. There is such a thing as .45 Auto Rim. It's a .45 ACP cartridge, with no taper at the primer end, and a suggestion of a rim, so it fits in the cylinder without moons. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com...

Iandiana Jones

Aside from the handguns Indy carries in the films, what else do you think he may have used, and when? For context, I think he maintained the Webley as a spare. According to the Bantam/Falcon novels he got it in the early twenties. Then he had the Colt Official Police (briefly) in ToD. Then had two 1...

Iandiana Jones

I imagine since Indy was wanted on suspicion of multiple murder he intentionally left his gun at home.

Or instructed Sallah not to grab it (I've only seen it once as yet).

Reason being he didn't want to be found armed while fleeing the country...

Iandiana Jones

Thank God I found this before I bought the one on Etsy. I have 3D printing coworkers whom I can smooth-talk with beer, etc.

To the guys who have printed it, will the cylinder accept .45 Auto dummy cartridges? Or is it off-size?
