Thanks for sharing! I remember going to visit Noel Howard and getting fitted for pants and a shirt (having already bought a W&G bag from him earlier). He wearily said "Well, I suppose you'll want to see these then" and proceeded to lay out screen-used Aldens, and pants. I don't think h...

I own the Legacy Raiders jacket and while it's a well-made jacket with a lot of screen accurate specifications, their leather choice is questionable. It's far too dark and too heavy in my opinion to be an accurate Raiders jacket. Ironically, I kind of like how thick the lamb is and think of this as ...

Dr._J

LOL! I KNEW it wouldn't take too long for us Gearheads to start "geeking out" on this discovery!

Dr._J

Did your jacket come distressed like that out of the box? It seems to have some sanding or something on the seams.

Dr._J

Aren’t the soles on their “accurate Indy boot” not accurate? The cork soles are found on the original 405 boots and to the boots in the movie. Anything else isn't screen accurate. The "Raiders" brown too is impossible to find from the 70s and when I spoke to an Alden rep, they aren't able...

Dr._J

I'm sorry but $630 for Indy boots? They're insane. I liked them better when they were $250 and just called "405"s. Seems someone at Alden was paying attention and realized us Indy-nerds would pay anything for the real thing.

Dr._J

You got it, bud. That's the photo the poster image is based off of.

Wested announced the Last Crusade Legacy jacket - https://www.wested.com/the-legacy-last-crusade-hero-jacket-custom-made-4831-p.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Is it just me or does the back panel look way better on the Crusade than the Raiders or Temple jackets? Might ...

Dr._J

I was wondering when you'd chime in old buddy! Thanks for the info about Peter and Wested. That's something I never knew!

Also, Brandon can you tell us what the side strap hardware is on that screen-used jacket?

Dr._J

The puffiness of the striations implies this jacket has definitely been soaked with water at some point.

Dr._J

Where is that Han blaster even from? No Hensoldt-Wetzlar info etched on the scope? A matte finish on the flash suppressor? No scratch marks on the side plate? Looks like a fan-made prop to me.

Dr._J

Great news! Congratulations and enjoy your new jacket when it arrives!

Thanks buddy!

Dr._J

Thanks Gents! The hat is an Adventurebilt in 100% Beaver custom made to my specifications by Mr. Steve Delk. It's MY "holy grail".

Dr._J

Hey All, As alluded to in my earlier post, I received an early Christmas present from myself...to myself. https://i.imgur.com/xYt2rDb.jpg I received (after almost five months) a Kelso Relic Hunter in Striated Lamb. It's an amazing jacket with an amazing hide and cut. As other have stated, it's amazi...

Dr._J

I dig the jacket; I just wasn’t sure about the pockets. It’s darker than it appears in the photo. It changes in the light. If someone would please explain to me how to post pics I’d be glad to share along with a review. Thanks.

Dr._J

The photo is from my new BK that arrived yesterday. It’s the Hawaii version but as stated, they don’t match the pockets on the website. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a mistake.

Dr._J

Hey All,

Is this a Cairo or Hawaii Pocket? Thanks.

Regards, Dr. J

Dr._J

I ordered the Hawaii version because it's the jacket I REALLY admire in the movie. When he's about to enter the temple, I freeze-frame the video just to check out the details. I especially love the pointed collar and more pointed pocket flaps. I ordered it in Striated Lambskin and asked for very lit...

Me too, buddy. Me too. I've been trying to lose weight for a while and this jacket is one of my motivators and rewards for losing 40 lbs!

Dr._J

Haven't gotten it yet. Believe me you'se guys will be the second to know (after me of course).

Dr._J

Mine took seven months. Maybe mention your situation and they'll rush it through? Seems to me they're sympathetic to the cause. Thank you for your soon-to-be-service by the way! God Bless!

Yeah, I ordered on June 23rd. It's gonna be surreal and awesome when it gets here. I've been waiting for a jacket like this since I started with COW almost 20 years ago.

Dr._J

I heard from Andy today. My jacket is being shipped early next week!

Dr._J

Thanks. Glad he reached out and excited for you to receive your jacket. I've reached out to them via website, email and this forum. Hopefully, I hear from them soon.

Best, Dr. J

Dr._J

Has ANYone heard from these guys lately? Yes, I've read the FAQs and yes, I know to be patient but I've reached out to them twice in two weeks and haven't heard back. I've sent them a couple emails asking for the measured specs on the Relic Hunter and an Aeronaut that caught my eye and I'm waiting ...

Awesome! Thanks again for the "heads up" regarding the sale. I placed an order for a Relic Hunter Hawaii version. I've always wanted this jacket and I'm glad I saved my pennies to get it. Now, the waiting begins...

Dr._J

Thanks! I purchased last week but they were good enough to honor the discount. What amazing customer service!

Dr._J

Last question and hopefully I'll get an answer. How did y'all pay for your jacket from Kelso? I saved JUST enough money to cover the jacket and shipping and then got hit with Paypal conversion rates adding an extra $25. Not stoked and losing faith in this process. Thanks.

Dr._J

I think I murdered this thread.

Dr._J

Gents,

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Kelso Relic Hunter. Is there a discount for COW members?

Regards, Dr. J

What's the best way to get in touch with Andy? Just email customer service? Thanks in advance.

Dr._J

Does anyone here own a Kelso in grainy lamb? If so, what do you think of it and do you have a photo?

Regards, Dr. J

Dr._J

Great info! Thanks Stefan!

Dr._J

Todd Snyder sometimes has sales too!

Dr._J

Thanks for chiming in Todd. I own several of your Indy items and have enjoyed them for many years!

Best, Dr. J

Dr._J

Great fedora also! Who made it?

Dr._J

Uh oh. Don't let Michelson see this!

Looks great by the way!

Artsee1 on ebay makes the best Stembridge I've ever seen.

My thoughts exactly.

Dr._J

No smart vendor would accept product that wasn't theirs to begin with. I recommend you put them up for sale on this forum or on EBay.

Dr._J

I've heard Baron's Hat uses mineral oil but I'm not brave enough to try it.

Dr._J

Looks great but I think you overdid it on the five-o'clock shadow.

Dr._J

Aldens almost NEVER go on sale so this is definitely a good find! Thanks D!

Dr._J

How's she fit?

Dr._J

So sad. I just met him a month ago for the first time. He was generous with his time and told me some of the old stories when he first made the Raiders jacket. And then he gave me a ride back to Stanley station instead so I wouldn’t have to take a cab. He did the same for me. What a great guy and a...

Water first then Pecards after it dries. Careful with the water though; there might be some shrinkage.
