Hammerklavier wrote:$1500? you can two Aero.....

I’m accepting offers, but keep in mind:

1. You can buy an Aero at any time
2. Tony had the original patterns
3. Regrettably, because he was such a good soul, Tony won’t be making any more jackets.
4. Bernie hired Tony to make an actual movie jacket

Hi all, I have collected a number of Tony Nowak jackets over the many years I’ve been a member here. I’m restoring an old car and need a bit of cash. Is there any demand left for Nowak jackets? Pricing these days? The one I’m thinking of letting go is my Raiders version in a thick, textured dark bro...

Obi Sean Kenobi

All,

Has anyone been watching Treadstone - the new TV show set in the world of Jason Bourne?

The main character wears a very Indy-like jacket (in almost every regards but for the side adjustment tabs).

Any info on the jacket?

Best,
Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Looks far more tan than the stone color currently in vogue...

Obi Sean Kenobi

There has to have been at least two grey fedoras made, as the two german agents appear on screen together with their hats on in the Marion chase scene, specifically when the monkey alerts them to Marion hiding in the basket. I do find it plausible that the sea plane hat was repurposed for another ac...

Very close to being SA, a little RIT pearl gray with the white one and you are there:

KT - what leather is that raiders hero? I love it!! I have to disagree, I do not think the collar is too wide on my hero here: http://i60.tinypic.com/1zluhia.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/i2og2c.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/1q0n15.jpg Maybe you can ask for a slimmer collar. I don't remember If I did. I p...

There are no collar stays on the todds shirt.

Obi Sean Kenobi

"interfacing", a gauzy material often inserted in collars and cuffs between the layers of fabric, can be adhered using adhesives. Thats probably what this is.

We have a "screen-accurate distressing" order to complete soon, so, ASAP we'll be posting pictures.

That would be mine!

I asked for mine to match the jacket in the village scene at the end of the film!

Can't wait!!

Obi Sean Kenobi

IMO the Kelso fits bigger than the Wested.

Obi Sean Kenobi

Hands down BEST wested hero I've seen. Beautiful jacket. The other shrunken lambs I've seen have an inconsistent color throughout that I've found "off". Yours seems to have a very consistent color throughout. I'm curious about your post - you seem uncertain that it's actually shrunken lamb...

Obi Sean Kenobi

My Nowak striated lamb is like a tank - every bit as tough as my cow jackets.

Obi Sean Kenobi

I think it said this above, but is a fully distressed version Available???

If so, sign me up?? Size 44!

Obi Sean Kenobi

I don't think it's even a contest. WPG all the way. The color, fabric and the pattern is far better than the todds. I have a todds from the last run, and I can't even button the sleeves - it's impossible. And I don't have hulk-like forearms or even close. The WPG is awesome. It's not as perfect as m...

Obi Sean Kenobi

Mine is dark brown lamb and I love it!

Obi Sean Kenobi

Fantastic looking hat!

Did Lee bash it or did you?

Now all you have to do is lose that 'stache to look like the good Doctor!

Obi Sean Kenobi

Can we see some pics? OK I ordered a pair of these. They are a thicker wool than the Todds and fit a bit differently. They are really thick around the waist band where the pleats are. They are also really baggy in the thighs. In general I like the fit and cut of the Todd's better as well as the weig...

Obi Sean Kenobi

I got the one currently in possession in a trade with another member who was interested in a Nowak Surrogates jacket I had for sale. The Surrogates fit a bit better than the Raiders, and the measurements were identical, so all I can figure is it's the cut. I like the Raiders well enough...but, hone...

Obi Sean Kenobi

I personally love the Wested. For a very fair price, you will have a jacket custom made for you in your choice of leathers. For me, the Todds sleeves weren't long enough. The leather and cut were beautiful but the sleeves on the long were too short. The US Wings pattern is totally off. The Neil Coop...

Obi Sean Kenobi

Does anyone know where this jacket ended up?

I know The Man sold it last year or so, and curious if it ended up with someone on the Board.

Obviously, I am in the market for a Nowak ToD, so if anyone had any leads please let me know!!

Regards,
Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Had to chime in and mention an oft overlooked alternative.

I personally think that the AdVintage Herbert Johnson makes an amazing LC fedora. They can do the styling and do an amazing job!

Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Best looking expo ive ever seen!!!! Wow!!

Obi Sean Kenobi

So I did it. I bought a Kelso. Albeit second hand off of eBay. It's the Cairo version (main Hero) in the striated lamb. Here are my initial impressions: 1. It runs a bit big. I usually wear a spot on 44. This was a second hand jacket so I took a risk and bought a 42. It fits fine. Maybe even a littl...

I dont know if "Penman Goo" is a good selling point!! Loll

Obi Sean Kenobi

Hi all,

Does anyone know, or have an approximation, of the dimensions of the ToD fedora ?

Crown height? Brim width?

I'm specifically interested in the bridge scene fedora....

Thanks!
Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Bogie -

That hat just looks so natural and so "right" in that setting!

Regards,

Obi Sean Kenobi

I wear a 44, and the Todds XL was too loose in the body. The sleeves were the perfect length for my 44L arms!

Obi Sean Kenobi

Oildale, That's a nice looking jacket. I had a Todds jacket from the new batch and loved it! Beautiful leather! Unfortunately, mine didn't fit, so I had to return it. The sleeves in the XL were the right length but the body was too baggy. I contemplated a Large but I would have had the reverse probl...

Obi Sean Kenobi

Out of curiosity, which leather/skin is that on your Kelso jacket? The grainy lamb?

Looks great!

I remember your wested hero in crispe and this jacket fits you soooooo much better.

The pockets do look a tad off, but only because you pointed it out. Not noticeable.

Osk

Obi Sean Kenobi

I have this jacket now, bought it here in the Bazaar, and absolutely love it.

Wore it today on an outing with the family, and I have to agree, Tony DID nail it!

Thanks!
Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Not that it's dispositive of anything, but my wested Noel Howard jacket does not have gussets.

Sean

Isn't that the Raiders costume though?

Any pics of gussets on the ToD jackets? The ones not Re-used from Raiders.

Hi all, As the title suggests, I am looking for a gunsmith, preferably on the east coast, and preferably within the midatlantic region, to convert my Brazilian contract 1917 into the Bapty. I PM'd "gunsmith" here on the board with no result. Tried calling him too, again no luck. Anyone hav...

Obi Sean Kenobi

I have multiple pairs of Aldens, and, without a moment of hesitation, hands down believe that my chromexcel stock 403s after a year or so of natural wear are the most SA Indy boots I've seen. I have had stock 405s and now have a brand new pair of the j crew 405s, and time and again the stock 403s ar...

Hi all, I've been on the lookout for a vintage 1917 (although preferably a HE2) with little success (within my budget) since joining COW. Suffice it to say that I've had little success surfing the net through gunbroker and it's ilk. Stupidly, I suppose, I didn't even check my local gun shop, I mean ...

It's the factory version.

Sorry about that, I should have been more clear!

Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Croft, that looks sharp!!

I like the color the best of your collection. Very nice.

Is that a wested hero? Looks like the dark lamb?

Nice setup!! Love the gear!!

Guess I'm headed to AE this week!

Gents and Ladies, Frankly, I had never heard of AdVintage Fedoras prior to reading this thread. Upon reading a bit about them here at COW, talking with the Owner (Thomas), and perusing their website - I decided to take the plunge. By way of background, I live in the US, and I have been a member here...

Obi Sean Kenobi

Ive searched using the search engine, but was unable to find this information. :CR: 8-[] We know tha HJ made the hats for the original trilogy (with a Stetson thrown in the mix in ToD), and that AB made the hats for KotCS; but who was the original maker of the hats for the Young Indy series? Thanks!...

Obi Sean Kenobi

Let us know when it comes in.

I'm interested in the thickness of the sweater.

I bought one of the Old Navy ones last year and was disappointed how "chintzy" they were.

Regards,
Sean

Obi Sean Kenobi

Yeah my todds large is very very right around the wrists. Not so with the WPG.

Obi Sean Kenobi

I'm 6'2", about 200 lbs. Personally, I prefer the regular large from WPG. I like to wear my shirt untucked with a pair if jeans, and I find the large long to have crazy long shirt tails. The sleeves on the long fit me fine, and I have long arms. I will concur about the WPG being the best Indy s...
