The signed certificate was such a nice surprise! I expected that to be exclusive to the special edition. Same here! The signature on my certificate looks to be the same as yours, FWIW.

I got mine yesterday as well. I also ordered the standard version from Swaine the day they went live, and was pleasantly surprised to discover I still got the signed certificate of authenticity.

For those who prefer an in-universe explanation, Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead by Steve Perry (pp. 8-9) has Indy going to great lengths to maintain the same hat he received in 1912: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Army_of_the_Dead/fgnBeOLcpW0C?hl=en&gbpv=1&...

An update on my order: BK emailed to let me know my jacket just shipped! So if you're still waiting, hang in there. They are currently working and shipping jackets. (FYI: I ordered last March.) Thanks for the update. I finally got a reply from him too, so I know it's just a matter of time. A long o...

Years ago, I inherited a Stetson Indy from my grandfather. No idea where or when he got it, but it certainly seems like one of the lobby Stetsons Michaelson described. The felt feels super fine (and stiff), almost like beaver, and has held up rather well despite what looks like regular wear. But I d...

I actually remember having this same argument with somebody when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I was coming to the defense of my Disneyland leather Indiana Jones hat, and refused to believe my friend when he said the hat was felt.

But live and learn, I suppose...

RelicHunter

That's a beautiful Young Indy hat! I've always liked the YIJ hat the way it was early in the series (the Mexico and England episodes, especially) and I think you captured that look perfectly. That's the thing about the YIJ hat, it aged along with the show. Looked great in the beginning but near the ...

RelicHunter

Which scene was that in? Well, it appeared in the filming done in Hawai. I only know because 2 days after they got there was when I found out one of the samples got aged by Western Costume, sent to the site, and used before Bernie noticed the brim was wider and the crown shorter! In his words, he s...

While I agree that a Homburg or top hat seems appropriate for the formality of a tux, I would add that I've had other people mistake my brown Indy fedora for a top hat before, so people might not even know the difference. :shock: Seems like, in this day and age, any dress hat can be "formal&quo...

RelicHunter

I'm certainly no expert on the theater hats, but yours certainly looks like the real deal to me! I did have a couple that seemed to be of lesser quality, but if the felt feels thick and substantial, and especially if it hasn't tapered or shrunk over time and has retained its original shape, it prob...

RelicHunter

I'm glad I saw this thread! I think I also have one of those theater Stetsons. It belonged to my grandfather, and I never thought it was anything more than a run of the mill Temple until I saw eazybox's pictures. It's a pretty nice hat, and if it's beaver I wouldn't be surprised. I can tell it's bee...

No problem. And just remember, there are no silly questions, only silly answers.

Here's the Ford quote: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34899&hilit= I've always thought the hat was the same, even if he goes through different jackets, bags, etc. The hat always seemed special. Of course, the hat he wears in Nevada at the beginning of KotCS would have to be burn...

Still, Pres. Obama would look better in a wide brimmed fedora. A brown one. With a dimensional brim.

Thanks! Yeah, it's a light distress job.

Just the basics, nothing too fancy...

I'd post more pics, but my camera isn't cooperating. Please stay tuned, we are experiencing technical difficulties.

The pocket flaps on my CS are more scalloped than my 1.5 year old Wested Raiders lamb, but those are scalloped too. I like the more pointed scallop on this jacket.

Either way, the pockets aren't buttoned in that pic so that's what I got. ;-)

For what it's worth, I remember it being mentioned in the novels that he carried a pocket watch.

I also want a copy of the Rocketeer's jacket, but unfortunately there isn't one readily available. Wested was going to do one, but that appears to have been abandoned. Information on Wested's "Rocketeer" Jacket can be found here: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=4898&highlig...

Any word on this jacket yet?

RelicHunter

I was watching The Rocketeer the other day, an Indy-like film many of you may be aware of, when lo and behold I saw a Dorfman-Pacific Indy hat in it. I saw it during the scene on a movie set during a movie shoot where an actor is stabbed. Right after that, Timmothy Dalton's (ex-Bond) character stand...

The Dorfman Pacific hat is a great hat for the money, and for the fan who doesn't care about the differences it's the perfect hat. But Herrington stating that the hat is EXACTLY the same is false advertising. If they're doing this knowing that the hat is not exactly the same, they should stop. If th...

Selling the Dorfman-Pacific hat is fine, even calling them "Indiana Jones" hats is okay because they are the "official" merchandise, but saying that it's the EXACT same hat as the ones used in the movies is false advertising. But, what really makes me mad is how they altered the ...

Here's my "Raiders" gun, an Airsoft .357 Magnum with a 4" barrel. The only problem is the grip:

Does anyone have any ideas to make the grips more "Raiders?"

RelicHunter

Since the Browning is very similar to the Colt .45, he probably would have used a US military .45 holster.

To get one, go to http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/reenactors/index.htm and click US WWII - Equipment - Weapons & Accessories - Colt 45.

RelicHunter

It's my old DP and I use it mainly for a display piece, by my posters from all the Indy movies. The hat looks a little misshappen, but it retains its shape very well.

I put my hat on a globe. I find it very "Indyish."
