It's funny because I have never received a jacket from them with grey undertones - they all seem to be tan or ruby undertones. I've been thinking of pulling the plug on a Captain America jacket they are offering - anyone have one of those? They look pretty nice on their site - not SA I think, but ve...

Aldens in general,yes,but we´re talkin´ Indy boots here.... :roll: and Aldens is a big part of the gear,lets not forget that... I'm aware of that - but the price of the Indy boots is in line with their other boots. It would be different if the Indy boots were over $500 and the other boots were $150...

nicktheguy

Texan Scott..you hit the jackpot there! They are...dare I say...JUST boots,for crying out loud!! :clap: :TOH: I think the Alden is over-priced, and that they charge a premium for them, partly because they know that many fans will pay that, and it is a direct link to the character. I would say yes a...

nicktheguy

Disney is not the place to find any real Indy gear. You can find t-shirts and toys of sorts - but the jackets are no where close to what the Indy jacket even is imho

nicktheguy

I love the fact that I have an original M1 myself. They are great.

nicktheguy

I have to admit I am a proud owner of an M1 garand. I bought mine about 8 years ago - I think I should take a pic - it's WWII vintage. You're right it lets you know that you're holding it - one solid piece of work.

nicktheguy

I did a Wested HH in the black version of the Rocketeer - it's incredibly durable and the thickest leather motorcycle jacket I own - I can post pics of it if you'd like -

nicktheguy

In my new line of academia interviews - there is no such thing as unnamed sources.

nicktheguy

...truth is that basset hound eared collar will beatcha to death in a windstorm. :P It was only when I wore an Indy jacket riding my motorcycle that I discovered what the real function of collar snaps was - I didn't have any on my jacket and the slapping of the collar to my face as I rode drove me ...

nicktheguy

what do you gents think of this for a backpack: have Wade make one of his leather MKVII but make it 3 times bigger & add some straps to go over the shoulder? Thanx!!! Charlie The P-37 webbing of the British and Canadian army during WW2 essentially had this - a larger MkVII gas bag as a haversac...

nicktheguy

Can't wait to see that when I go back this year.

nicktheguy

Sounds like the boots are UK sizing

nicktheguy

They look good - I can't wait to hear what people have to say about the fit/feel of these ones.

nicktheguy

I used to be all over using originals - but I remember somewhere hearing about the contamination some of the old WWII stuff had (asbestos, for example - the gas masks had asbestos filters) - and I just never felt right packing any kind of food items in my original bags since. It's been repros ever s...

nicktheguy

This is a fantastic thread. Back in the day they used to do "sidewalk" shots - photographers would approach people on the street and take snaps of them then sell or give them the photos. That's what the first pic reminds me of. I am not sure if it is, but it was a popular trend - the origi...

nicktheguy

Sounds like it was/is a great jacket

nicktheguy

I guess he became a true believer

nicktheguy

Just don't forget to take your bags with you.

nicktheguy

So you're my secret santa next year right? That's so good of you to pick that up for me

nicktheguy

So true - I'm just so happy that it had a good end.

nicktheguy

It handled amazingly!

nicktheguy

GREAT NEWS!!!! One of MY students spotted the lone jacket, saw my name in it and took it home that day to bring to my class this afternoon. She said she wanted to make sure no one took it. She had no classes from the day it was gone until today and I totally believe that she was looking out for me.....

nicktheguy

IMO I'd stick with goat over lamb for durability.

nicktheguy

thank you all for your words. What kills me is that it was my brief moment of stupidity. Today I will start a more thorough campus search....keeping my fingers crossed....

nicktheguy

Saaaaaaaaaaaaad news - I am trying to deal with it with hopes that it will come back. I stupidly left my LC Nowak in the common area of the University that I am now teaching at for two minutes until I realized I had left it behind. Of course you know the rest...gone gone gone..... I am hoping it wil...

nicktheguy

I have to go with the short version - the longer one seems a bit car-coatish.

nicktheguy

And if a TSA agent is an Indy fan - you may be giving them the best gift they'll get of the year - your whip.

nicktheguy

Hey I brought mine to the summit and it was incredible. It cracked like a charm and I am still amazed at the quality of the whip!

nicktheguy

Just hang out in a burning bar

nicktheguy

Then again it will take into consideration if we are talking natural waist or commonly worn pant area.

nicktheguy

The Restoration hardware ones are fantastic. Once I saw TwilekJedi's I went to the local RH and picked one up. It does the job admirably.

nicktheguy

You know - it's so funny. They look really good in the pics. Too bad they weren't what we were hoping for - but they sure looked the part.

nicktheguy

Wow - I'd return them

nicktheguy

Yeah these look really good.

nicktheguy

yeah, I want one too!

To make it their own version - personally I like the heel stitch the way they had it done - it's not SA, but it looks better to me.

The JCrew Aldens are made by Aldens for JCrew.

nicktheguy

Personally I favour the JCrew boot because of the heel stitching - it appears to look more period to me IMO

nicktheguy

Say, wasn't that last years whip competition at the QM? I see McFly and Liontamer in the photo, while _ was sporting his Venice Beach shirt he bought in the ship's shops?

nicktheguy

I have to wonder though... The verbiage refers to a costumer's tag. That doesn't really mean anything but it's implied that negates it being a given manufacturer's product. Studios remove labels - pretty much exclusively. It's a liability thing. Nothing with a branded label anywhere on it goes on s...

nicktheguy

Hey, I'm in BC too!

nicktheguy

The sides that attach to the strap can rip pretty easily depending on the overall condition of the bag - I had a mint one and started using it a week ago - the webbing ripped away from the side - and I am pretty sure it's due to stitching rotting over time. Some bags will not have that, others will ...

nicktheguy

Sooo...I just received my very first real pair of boots, some 403s (don't get me started on the issues getting them sent to Canada....the Alden shop was fantastic, UPS once the package got to Vancouver....less so). Should go without saying that these are the best pair of boots I've ever worn - the ...

nicktheguy

They aren't that heavy while you are IN the water. You can actually swim in them quite well (ok, I had to go after a particularly expensive lure that I wasn't willing to sacrifice to the fishing gods). They're only heavy once you get OUT of the water! That was an expensive journey to submerge your ...

nicktheguy

I don't think Aldens are snakeproof.

nicktheguy

We are lucky in Vancouver to have some actual military tailors who understand the hem.

Hey Todd-
Will there be longer lengths in the next batch?

nicktheguy

I finally was able to show my wife my Downtowner and the first thing she said was "Wow...it's really, really tall"... I told her the movie hat was just as tall and then she crushed me by saying "It doesn't look good on you" (wives are so honest :x ) Not a fault of Todd, it's jus...

nicktheguy

I hope Todd brings them in again - I love my pair - but I am on the side that the length is just a tad too short.....I normally wear a 35-36 inseam - the 34 is just a little too short - but I'll still wear them, sitting lower than where they should.
