you guys are detectives at heart!!!!

Mystique

What craftsmanship!

Mystique

Does Noel Howard still make orders for clothing???

Mystique

Has anyone had their Wested repaired for tears? If you have sent it to Peter, are the repair prices reasonable? My jacket looks like Wolverine took a swipe at me, there are three slashes on the back. That's what you get for loaning jackets to friends :evil:

Mystique

When I was in San Francisco this weekend the sales price on the floor was 325.00 I was surprised that they moved from the corner of Kearny St. They are on Sutter St. now.

Mystique

nice save djd

Mystique

Great moves! I hope you didn't scare anyone cracking that!

Mystique

Plus the added safety feature of the gunbelt keeping the pants from going too far down!

Mystique

Director yelled cut!, props man ran in and got the Browning back....The magic of movie making...

CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!!!!!!

University Salaries were probably a mere pittance in those days too...

Mystique

The expression on the statue looks like he was kicked out of a diner circa 1930's after the truckers guffawed at him. The red in his face is the embarrassment, and the driven look is that of the images he's conjuring up of beating up the harassers.

Mystique

On my recent vacation while visiting my sister in law in Ohio, we were in an older part of Columbus windowshopping. I happened to walk into a gun store and they had a model 22 Thunder Ranch. It was a beaut and only 650! Unfortunately I couldn't spend all my vacation money since I was still headed to...

Mystique

Thank you VP. I thought I was missing something.

Mystique

If anyone remembers that dreadful picture, rent it and see that cigarettes can be hazardous to your health!

Mystique

Before my trip to the Big Apple, I had to resole my Alden's because they had worn down to a dangerously thin level. The cobbler put Vibrams on them and I didn't slip a step even in the freak rainshower I was caught in on my way back from Times Square. Lucky for me in the 112 degree weather the soaki...

Where was it established that Fedora was Abner??? Inquiring mind has to know...

Mystique

Wow what an exciting venue!!! Fedora you are one lucky fellow. These sort of things are what makes a hobby into a most fulfilling milestone... Look at Mr. Ford's beginnings as a carpenter. A few nice words and chance meetings make the careers of movie personages. Who knows maybe in the scheme of thi...

Mystique

I have owned my pair for 6 years and they sure are well broken in. The heels do seem to wear quickly, but if you're walking on terrain (sand, soil, tundra) as opposed to the pavement, the heels will probably last longer. I've hitch-hiked with mine for 3 weeks and the asphalt really punishes them. Lu...

Mystique

Yeah Linen Shirts tend to feel like a lighter version of burlap. I guess if you really wanted to put good use to it, wear it long-distance driving, you are guaranteed not to fall asleep wearing it!

Mystique

Maybe you could sell the hat as the Barranca Special. The hat that aspires to emulate Indy's????
Must have been one hungry bulldog.

Mystique

Had my heels redone in a shop right near the Alden Store in San Francisco. The guy charged me 20 bucks. I guess I lucked out...

Mystique

To commiserate with you, I had to go to traffic court to pay for a fixit ticket. No sooner had I had given up my change, keys, watch, etc I hadn't gone through the detector fully, and my shoes set off the alarm. The two Marshalls were in my face wanding me with the hand-held. I told one of them it m...

Mystique

Well I don't know about you guys, but how many shoes do you own? The same probably goes with Indy and his gear... As far as in the Raiders Novel, Indy loses his whip to the Submarine periscope, and mourns the loss of his hat somewhere in the novel too. He attributes this as the sad parting of old fr...

Mystique

Wasn't that a 357 magnum S and W?

Mystique

Try Nordstrom. The Facconable Men's Chinos come with two rear pocket
flaps and come unhemmed. They are excellent quality and are in the
same price range as the LL Bean Catalog ones with
shipping.

Mystique

Try looking in Yardage City or a store that sells cloth, sewing machines,
etc. I believe crafts stores also sell them, like Michael's, Joann, or
places like Wal-Mart. Someone is bound to have that which you are
looking for... If you have had prior business with Noel Howard, he could
get you some.

Mystique

Interesting that Deckard's supervisor Bryant is seen wearing a brown
fedora. I guess some things don't change in future L.A.

Mystique

A vast storehouse of nothing but crates of MKVII and VI bags.
Things that make you go Hmmm...
It would be an homage to the end of Raiders though...

'NO water, fish make love in it." To quote Marcus...
If you have a local Army Surplus store in your area check there.
I found a couple of Swedish canteens that were never used. Or
give Jerry an email at What Price Glory

Mystique

My .454 Casull ammo puts a dent in the wallet. Almost makes me
want to take up loading my own brass.

Mystique

Pyroxene, was that book by chance a guide for gentleman's dress?
I think I have perused it at a local bookseller. Nice presentation,
especially the historical photographs. The Alden photo could you post it?

Mystique

Nice gear you have there! I'm glad your whip suits you. May it age to
an excellent mahogany Josh! Practice, practice , practice.

Mystique

Maybe it's a Ben Scott, the Turks head looks close.

Mystique

Thanks Sergei, it helped me get the gist of negotiating. I could see the gun store owners beefing up prices for something in the mainstream like semi-autos, but for something that was probably in two wars and modified to boot, well I figured price should have been a tad more on a lower side. I'm use...

Mystique

Dear Sergei,
By the by how much did it cost? Are guns like that
in that age bracket a small fortune? Or are they in the price range of
$600-800 ballpark questimate due to their antiquarian state?

Mystique

Sergei, if this isn't too much of a troublesome question, where did you obtain a beauty like that? There's nary a scratch on the barrel. That metal must have been put in a pretty cushioned case. Thanks for your time. I like poking around in gun shops even though the men tend to frown on it me being ...

Mystique

Good eye Agent 5. If you look closely in the movie Spartacus some of the Trojan Army were caught on film wearing watches. (USC extras) Marlon Brando in Superman as Jor-El is filmed wearing his Rolex timepiece. I believe its when Krypton is crumbling. In Mystery of the Blues, Harrison Ford has a phon...

Mystique

A very astute observation Michaelson! I wonder how my Wested will
fit 10 years from now?

Mystique

Congrats on your first Wested! The thrill is like the symphonic
tension mounting in the music of the Desert Chase Scene in
Raiders. In the U.S. , we chase the lorry, which is a UPS, FedEx, or Postal one. Ah, memories of the Ice Cream Man coming down the block.
Post some pics Indiana Joe!

Mystique

Largest maker of whips since the 70's? The guy who wrote this probably doesn't know how long David Morgan has been making whips, or the fact that his family business has been running since 1962. I feel if David Morgan was approached to make and provide whips for a production as magnanimous as the Sp...

Mystique

CAVEAT EMPTOR (Let the buyer beware!) As Belloq tells Indy showing him a pocketwatch, "Look at it, 10 dollars from a vendor in the streets, if I bury it in the sand for a thousand years it becomes priceless, like the Ark. Men would kill for it, men like you and me..." Both of these quotes ...

Mystique

They are rugged to wear everyday, but I usually wear them on special occasions Not scratchy at all. I bought mine machine made, and they weren't hemmed. If you are a stickler for fit (which I'm not) get measured by a clothier or your tailor, and go the extra mile by getting them handmade. They cost ...

Mystique

I would call them and ask for the head manager the number to reach
them is (702) 873-1100.

Mystique

L.L. Bean has been one of the best alternatives for me. The color of
the shirt is a nice stone khaki. It has survived many a camping trip too.

Mystique

Paul I think one of the older posts had that screen grab. Yeah they sure look pretty orange, but look at them in the Chachapoyan temple they have nearly match Indy's jacket. The affect of the lighting seems to change his pants too. Hollwood magic! Off topic, but there is a scene in Kung Pow! Where t...

Mystique

The taupe color was very close to Chachapoyan idol scene. I got them hemmed at the store I bought them in. They come unfinished. The pants are a nice addition to my everyday Indygear. There is even a watch pocket like the old military pinks had. I like them! They even have the twill pattern that the...

Mystique

I went into Nordstrom the other day, and since I live on a shoestring budget at times, I don't usually shop there. Yet I found a pair of pants of the Falconnable brand, that not only had two rear flap pockets, but also had a more vintage appearance than the pair I ordered from L.L. Bean that had a g...

Anyone remember the Spiderman Web Blasters that sprayed that
gunk? Oh what toys they used to have... Neat whip!!!
