I checked and I'm still wearing my Oriental Institute security guard shirt ATM. Since I just graduated from the University of Chicago 2 months ago I am triply excited for the movie tonight, as I am sure you all are. Just pausing for a minute to think about everything that these movies and Harrison F...

It looks like Indy Magnoli is going to be offering his own version of the MotB Cardigan through Magnoli clothiers!

I ordered one a few weeks ago and am anxiously awaiting it (especially with the cold here in Chicago really taking off)--will let everyone know when it arrives!

Really really like these pics.

Dunno if anyone's brought it up before, but he probably wears the bag outside of the jacket these days because wearing it inside nearly got him killed in Last Crusade?

Just a thought!

jjkillin

err...

I was saying 'I told you so,' that it would be an awesome idea...

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

As IndianaJames pointed out back in the thread '04, he and others had considered it long before I asked if it could be done.

Hey all, Been out of it a little while--who knew that this school was sooo hard?? :shock: Anyway, I would just like to point out that this is pretty awesome, and I can only say I TOLD YOU SO!!: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=10678&highlight=denim+jacket 'I'm out of it a little while...

Bought a Stenhouse a while back--never leave home without it.

I actually can't stress this enough--my head size (WHATever it is!) doesn't really look good with the hat specs as are. I need to trim the brim down to size in order to get a decent look. If buying from the vendors, talk to them and get some advice before buying, and after you get it, don't be afrai...

Holy cow!!!

Can't wait til I graduate and start making some real dough!!

jjkillin

hey that's pretty nice!

Say, Paul, next time I'm back home in Sweet Home St. Louis I'll have to give you a ring talk about falls.

Nice work my friend...makes me want to fork over another 300 bucks to get my 3rd!!!!!

Aldens are looking good.....but not as good as mine!! :wink: I have a second pair of Aldens that I like to wear on special dress-up occasions so I don't like to see them get very dirty of scuffed. Wouldn't want the high-brow's at the University of Chicago to think that I'm any less uncouth than I ac...

I was wondering, since Peter was able to make a cotton Raider's. what about making a denim?? I could really use a denim jacket!

The only change that I think I would have made is that instead of a zipper, have it be button down. What do you guys think?

Very nice looking jacket, Blizzard! Very, nice.

jjkillin

Wow I really like your boots, Bink. Where'd/When'd you get them?

-James

jjkillin

I called about ordering a pair of black Aldens a while back (maybe it's me you guys are referring to). I wanted them for more dressier occasions. It was like 100 bucks more plus a longer wait time, because they were going to dye the leather instead of just using black leather. I opted for a pair of ...

Let us know what they say--mine are probably the exact same way, although when it gets wet I don't notice anything. But BOY when it gets cold...

You won't be disappointed with your jacket! Peter does a great job with all of his jackets. Trust me, I own 2.

In your first pics, it was really hard to make out the look. Man, just what I needed....another good looking leather option.

I'm with IndyBlues on this one. Nice jacket, Rob!

I always thought the passing of the hat was purely symbolic, rather than that hat being 'the' hat, but Spielberg maybe thought differently... Well, I'm of the belief that if Spielberg wanted it to be "the hat", they would have actually used "a hat" (for what it's worth). But the...

Last I heard, George Lucas shelved the movie earlier this year b/c he didn't like the script. Which is a legitimate reason to not make a movie. But by the time Lucas finds a script he likes, Angelina Jolie will probably be 60.

I actually did find something here in St. Louis that works once...........

but it's been so long I've forgotten. Actually I've been forgetting a lot lately--I may be losing my mind.

-James

P.S. YES only maybe!

jjkillin

That looks like it's a very good fit! Very nice!

jjkillin

Forrestal, I think I may have gotten mine free. Maybe it's something about being from St. Louis, then again, it might just be my shoddy memory. :-k Btw, a trip from StL to SF isn't a bad idea for shoelaces--my father used to fly from StL to NY to have lunch on a whim, and then fly back. Quite the da...

Or....if you order it around Thanksgiving, you should get it early to mid January. For some reason, that's the time of year I get in the mood to order Wested's....

Moral of the Story: Order yours NOW!

Congrats on the successful order! Got some pics?

That's pretty awesome! If I had arms that big, I'd get something like that too!

Well for my old pair I went about 20 miles. For my new pair, I went from St. Louis to San Francisco....although getting the Aldens wasn't the sole purpose of my trip. :) Actually it wasn't even a purpose--I was just in town and thought I would pop on down and I decided that it would be a pretty good...

Rob, hope you like your jacket as much as I like mine!!

I'll probably run by there early in September and see what they can do.

Thanks a lot for all of the tips!

Since you have a narrow, flat foot also, do you have a tongue slippage problem with both the old and new pair of Aldens? Are both pairs the same size and width? Yes I have problems with both the older and the newer pair. However in the newer pair, both boots have the tongue slipping problem, in the...

jjkillin

I too have narrow flat feet and have tongue slippage (extremely terrible on my new pair).

BTW, driving race cars has got to be one of the most exhilirating things to see (and I suppose do!).

That's a really good idea, I just wonder if they would bomb you with a bigger price tag. I remember inquiring once if I could get the boots in black and it was something over 100 extra dollars to die the leather black (because they couldn't use black leather for some reason). Let us know how it turn...

Boy, the stitching on the toe of the older pair looks like it is coming out. Does anyone know if Alden would repair stitching like that in their shoe restoration service? Well it's been like that for a looooong time and as long as I don't play with it I'm sure it won't bother me. I am going to have...

How did you go about doing that???!!

James

Well which threads do you mean--the one's on the toe of the shoe on the leather or the one's on the top of the soles? I've had a pair for close to 5 years and wore them religiously in that time. I've had to get them resoled once (another one is coming up), and I can tell you that the white color won...

I got my whip holder from them. I recall it was delivered very quickly and as Scandinavia Jones said, no problems.

James

jjkillin

I concur with Indiana Joe--the color on your whips is fantastic! So they are just naturally that color--you didn't even use any dressing or anything?

James

jjkillin

And since Indy wears two belts, he could feasibly wear two pairs of suspenders.

James

jjkillin

Paul makes some nice whips if I do say so myself.

James

jjkillin

I take it you do this without the laces in? I got used to the slippage in my old Alden's because it was just one and it wasn't really all that bad of a slip, but my newer pair that I have has atrocious slippage and it's in both boots!

You are a man's man, IndyRocks, a man's man.

And their flat soles make great archaeological shoes!
