They had prototype Expeditions on sale a couple of years back. I picked up one for about $300, maybe less.

Really, it's a fabulous jacket.

My Custom Tailors http://www.mycustomtailors.com They offer a number of tweeds. Goto their site and type "tweed" in their fabric search. What you do is send in your measurements along with a photo of Indy in the suit and say "knockoff this." If you have been shopping for jackets ...

Archeologist of the period probably dont wear leather jacket

Some fellow in The English Patient wore a leather jacket - and in Egypt too. ( God it must have been hot.)


Here's what Aero says was historical 1930's:

Upon further investigation, it does look like Indy's vest is three-button and not five-button. In particular, it appears to be a black version of a type of vest that is very popular in Scotland: http://www.neoclassicists.net/indygear/tux/vest-3button.jpg Indeed, as we all know, it is quite possible ...

Query: What sort of cufflink is Indy wearing?

I count five (5) buttons on Indy's vest:

Here's Bogy:

To do so, I would need full length photos of Indy. Where could I get them. Or could people pleas...
