The Wested shirt in 2XL is too short for me. The WPG in a XL-L fits great. I do take them to the cleaners as severe wrinkles are not my thing...…... ;) Also really like the close enough Cabela’s Safari shirts. Cabela’s stopped making their safari line when BassPro bought them. A real bummer, becaus...

Well... I've been carrying the MKVI for about a week and a half now and I finally have time to write a review... Overall I give it a four out of five...

Any reviews on the bag yet? I went to their site, and it looks pretty good from the pics.

Thanks. I do like those pants. Looks like I'll have make an expedition to the mall this week.

They have a great look. It's funny, because the picture of the backpack in the printed catalog only had the two side pouches. The only thing I don't like is that the description says it uses "collar stud closures" which I believe means magnets, so the buckles on the straps are just for loo...

My favorite part is that all the ads down the side are for hat shops (with pics of fedoras).

Yeah, some folks know what you have, and others have no clue. :roll: I carry a PortaBrace video production bag that I've carried since the late 1980's. I even sent it back to the company for a rebuild in the late 90's, and it's a constant work companion when I'm working. It's fair size, and not to ...

Oh Sean, what were you thinking?!? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNb9r6Pzxks/SjSjjs0vEQI/AAAAAAAAB3Q/ewYas6tF1B4/s1600/zardoz.jpg He was either thinking; "the rents due" or "the next bullet's for my agent". Actually, if you look at his filmography, he's been in a lot of bad movies.

It’s only a purse if you carry your wallet and one of those little packs of Kleenex in it, otherwise it’s a satchel.

If I remember correctly that helmet was gold colored.

There is no wrong way to collect the gear. Just get what you like, who cares what anyone else thinks.

If wearing gear from the different movies together is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

For a kid, though, it's perfect. They don't care if the gun is red and blue, or even if it's moulded from a western six-shooter. They'll have just as much fun playing Indy with it (if not more) than us grown up fans being nit-picky with our expensive gear. Kids have the imagination that so many adu...

I’ve got a reproduction from WPG that I’ve been carrying, pretty much every day for the last four years. It’s a great bag, perfect for my needs, but with anything there is always room for improvement. My ideas would be to have a zipper on one of the pockets; the one inside the front of the bag, to k...

For my first shirt I went with what the size chart in the catalog said. Even though it was polyester, after several washes the sleeves shrank up a bit and it was a little tight under the armpits.

I got caught in a downpour on a trip to Walt Disney World and my AB got soaked. There was nothing I could do about it; we had to walk all the way across the park in the rain.

the graphed paper is a nice touch, but I'm more partial to a more sturdy cover(cloth-covered cardboard or stiffened leather) for a field notebook for durability purposes.

Which is why I'm totally fine with Indy's gear. It looks practical enough for the period, and that's all that matters. It looks sort of like something Indy could easily obtain back then. I don't think it's as practical for me to try to dress like Indy in my everyday life, though. I doubt Indy would...

You also have to remember that what is considered impractical by today’s standards was the norm for the period the films were set in.

Mine too, but it gets a little monotonous, so I have a couple other colors just to mix things up a bit.

I have six safari style shirts, all different colors (stone, tan, green, white, medium blue) and I wear my brown AB with all of them (though not all at the same time, that would be silly). I think this could apply to dress shirts as well.
