I wonder if that's the same one IMA is now carrying...IMA's looks better, same price range ($99), and is 'functional' but a non-gun. cannot be chambered and fired. but the trigger works, chamber turns, and it breaks open for chambering (if you could). it's also the mk IV 38/200...the timing can't be...

Indiana Jerry

I just call it a purse in a gruff voice and let other people tell me it's not. ;) Dr. J, I have been out where the wild black blows. Not sure what that means, but that's what they told me to say if anyone asks... I forgot to point out, that this doesn't have to be so hard...a simple version of this ...

Save it and make an extra pocket. ;) http://medlem.spray.se/larskalvemark/indygear/makingmkviipocket/ Regards, Swindiana Swindy, a long time ago we talked about making the divider conversion 'flexible'. i.e., reversible.

Indiana Jerry

I'd been kicking this around for a few years, but finally got a new bag a few months back and figured it was time to give this a shot. First and foremost, props to Swindiana for the great tutorial on how to convert the MK VII divider into an extra pocket (http://medlem.spray.se/larskalvemark/indygea...

Indiana Jerry

One hundred...and twenty??? :Dietrich: Man... Thanks for the leads, guys, I'll dig around. Considering I just got a couple of unissued MK VII's (yep, Sevens) for $40 each, paying more than $20 for MK VI's (sixes) seems like a crime! ;) I remember buying ratty MK VII's for $10, and VI's in any condit...

Indiana Jerry

These used to be more common...Soldier Of Fortune even had a listing for them - CHEAP, since they weren't the in-demand MK VII variety. And the UK-sourced 'Indy bag' was based on a MK VI pocket config. If you've never seen one, it looks JUST like a MK VII from the front, but the main flap doesn't co...

Just because you didn't ask, here's something non-hat related about Shackleton.

Hahaha...hard to get that one past me...years ago on another forum, my handle was Rigby Reardon. $\:D/$

I have a pair of the gold ones from Magnoli - they're beautiful, check them out.

Plaid is a bold choice, Nick, but probably a wise one, for dead men don't wear plaid.

Indiana Jerry

Agreed, those pics are an apt memory of Walt - an impeccably dressed gentleman at the QM, in the company of fine people, and in his element examining unique whips in great detail, a connesuier (sp?) enjoying new treasures with a trained eye.

Indiana Jerry

Thank you, Yvette, that was beautiful. I really appreciate you sharing that with us to aid in our closure as well. I'll go listen to those classical pieces as soon as I can.

Indiana Jerry

That was perfect, Michaelson. That's my favorite image of him: comfortable in the company of good friends.

MK, thanks for the pics. The antlers one has always been my favorite...he did that with such a straightface...Captain of The Flying Indy's, rest in peace.

Indiana Jerry

I regret that I won't be able to get down to Rancho Bernardo on Saturday, I'm committed to something bigger than myself, but Walt would approve. I *was* going to quietly - offline - ask a few other locals who may be attending as well to bring their whips, and afterwards - in some other venue, privat...

Indiana Jerry

I was glad to have had several chances to talk with him, and he was always, always a gentleman. He regularly showed up at the QM with a big bag of whips, was ready to teach and help and learn all at the same time. And he didn't limit it to whips, he was a kind man who gave me advice, which was remar...

Indiana Jerry

Got to agree with that, a shame. But after - gosh, 4 years of making them, Adam? You did a great service for the community when there weren't any other economical options, so hat's off to you and best wishes with your roo whips! http://www.indygear.com/cow/images/smiles/clap.gif So back to the point...

Off the top of my head, I can't remember the WORST it's been through, but it is worthy of note that I almost caught a foul ball hit by an LA Dodger in my AB in...what, the 8th inning this Sunday?

Is Winrich still making the IOAB? Cowhide - NOT Roo - but same Indy style (but less strands), color and length are custom, and I thought it was about $12 / foot? They crack all right, but they are not high end whips. They are functional whips that anybody except someone who knows whips would think w...

Indiana Jerry

Wow, a whole slew of useful answers - thanks, folks! Okay, so there is some variation, but my experience is not completely atypical. Some of you do get better mileage...maybe less clumsy than me, maybe your regular wear is less trying for one reason or another. And some have even seen 'erosion' in t...

Indiana Jerry

Post pics if/when you can, I'd like to know how resistant it is to taper once you start to work it. Did it come stiff, like it was pre-formed instead of bashed?

Indiana Jerry

Okay, maybe that should be 'holey' body lining. (Basic topic to stay inside the rails: durability of Wested LININGS long term, based on old jackets.) Anybody else got a Wested w/ COTTON lining that has held up more than four years, AND is worn nearly continuously? I ordered my wested...er...gosh, FO...

That WOULD explain why the leather is all wrinkly...

And please go back to the part where I said IF YOU ONLY WANT RAYBANS, SKIP THIS. Man, somebody tries to help you just in case, you throw rocks? Thanks.

Bink, I'd like a beer, please.

Wait, you were at Pendleton and you're showing your 20 in WGS84 format? Oh, wait, that's right, Marines. I forget, it's the infantry that's still stuck on UTM. ;) It rarely ever happens here, but if someone calls it a purse I tell them I can get them one, too. Most of them actually ask me where, and...

Indiana Jerry

P.S. I just dug around on the American Optical site ( http://www.aoeyewear.com ), and I can't find this model frame. The closest I can get to are still somewhat different, aren't available in the same lens/temple color pieces, and are also more at $70-$80, so this IS a deal US Wings has.

Indiana Jerry

I think US Wings sells them,you could try there. You got one of your best answers right out of the gate there. Since you did ask for authentic aviators, I'll expand on this one. (If you really JUST want RayBans, skip this, but I sincerely doubt you'll get them cheap, unless you are getting fakes.) ...

Indiana Jerry

Hmm...can't bring myself to type in that whole story again just a couple days later, so here's a cross-link to another bag thread...about when I was wearing it at a govt conf and an AF Lt called it a purse...and the unexpected result... ;) http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?p=458789&highlight...

Indiana Jerry

Since the thread starter has pointed it out, I'll reiterate - please stay on topic.

We've got a lot of threads to recommend your favorites or talk about the whole range of jackets. CM opened this thread just to nail down differences between the G&B and Todd's.

Thanks!

Indiana Jerry

Admittedly, I am a little more conscious of not looking like a nutter while the movie is out, but the bag is a pretty safe item to wear alone. Heck, a friend of mine was going to Japan for a trip, and his wife insisted he carry a bag of some sort so *she* didn't have to carry everything. He agreed o...

Indiana Jerry

I've bought new unissues rifle slings w/ grooves, and gee, sometimes w/ use the grooves fade or lessen, or just plain disappear as the edge of the strap gets ground back or rounds out. And I agree, it seems obvious they'd start w/ existing straps, probably rifle straps, for the first movie and went ...

I had an Air Force Lieutenant say 'nice purse' to me at a govt conference once. Now, he and I are friends, and he was getting me back for saying 'nice pajamas' the last time he wore camo, but a Colonel overheard us and turned to stop us right there. Uh-oh. "Lieutenant," he said, addressing...

My bad, I just didn't recognize you without your face.

Indiana Jerry

Oh hey, Tron, I think you're okay (and a landmark when we get to discussing the progression of computer generated graphics in cinema) with your punt of the special order - if that is still an orderable item. I just wanted to curtail the tangents into shoulder pad discussions and what was starting to...

Indiana Jerry

It's okay to talk about the shoulder pads as a standard feature of the Special Order jacket (if that's still an available option for afrayedknot?), but a detailed discussion of the merits of the special order jacket or a history of shoulder pads ought to get their own threads, if you don't mind, fol...

Indiana Jerry

Afrayedknot - I forgot to mention...my jacket is the wested LC, but I ended up with essentially a standard jacket. Okay, I asked for two inner pockets with zips, because I carry lots of stuff, and I lose lots of stuff). But as far as the jacket lengths and construction, no mods. I like it, I get com...

Indiana Jerry

Thanks for taking it back on-topic, Doug. (and at least *I* laughed at the Minnesota joke.)

Indiana Jerry

Thanks, Rex - much better lighting in these, you did a great job on the jacket! Not too shiny at all, but still got a nice luster to it. Did you also notice any color coming off on it on the rag or whatever you used, or did it really just dull the shine without working off any color? (Ever since the...

Indiana Jerry

I swear, BigRex, I was ready to believe you were 11' tall. I started counting the buttons on your shirt, doing some typical jacket length math like many of our members (completely accurate, I assure you), and found the 11' gearhead theory plausible... compared to some of the other stuff we read as m...

Indiana Jerry

who is whose wingman?

Indiana Jerry

Jerry Indiana, not that tall, I don't think Todd's is putting out standard sizing in the 11 foot range for all their customers out there with needs on the order of that size :shock:[/i] Darn! I was looking forward to re-enacting the well of souls scene where Indy knocks over the really big anubis s...

Indiana Jerry

No, wait, I just figured it out: At what length does a jacket become a coat? When you have to put on a second one over it. ;) Part of the problem with the 'conclusions' above is that we *should've* concluded that not all the body shapes are screen-accurate, either. This is like wondering why it take...

Indiana Jerry

Will you start using the big auction site? You mean EBAY??? Really, guys, you can say ebay. It's okay, nobody will nuke you for saying ebay. If you want to call it evilBay, or noWay, or eekBay, or whatever, that's your call, too, but don't think the name itself is verboten. Voldemort! Voldemort! ;) J

Indiana Jerry

You're correct, I forgot about the grooves. Email Todd, tell him your concern. I'd heard before that you tell him YOUR size, he sizes you a belt for 4" larger, since it's supposed to hang low. After talking to him he may size yours only 2" longer, and then you don't need to worry about cut...

Indiana Jerry

That's actually pretty likely. I've been too out of touch to give you the rundown myself, but you'll probably find some threads like that if you do some digging. Frankly, unless you NEED something non-standard, or are a stickly for 100% screen accuracy, ordering the standard jacket could be all you ...

Indiana Jerry

I'm guessing that's not metric...you are almost ELEVEN FEET TALL??? Holy smokes, that's impressive! You're like two Binks high!

(I just counted the buttons on your shirt...you really are tall, aren't you?)

Did the alcohol work for you for dulling the shine? Some folks get variant results...

Indiana Jerry

Love the piggy-bank. Welcome to COW!

(Nice hat, too. But really, put it on and they won't tease you so much.

Indiana Jerry

Leather is leather. With the right tools, a punch in case you need more holes, and an appropriate dye for the raw edge you'll leave, it should be possible. But I'd give him a call/email first and if you KNOW you will be losing the weight, get sized for your 'midpoint'. I.e., plan to lose four inches...
