I really don't think the producers had so much of a backstory in mind when Nadoolman put the costume together...

As I am more of an active wearer than a costumer, my list of items changes depending on where I'm going. On a normal day when I'm out geocaching or on vacation, I am usually not without:

Pocketknife
Cell phone
Compass
Journal
GPS
Map
MRE fruit and nut snack
Batteries
Book
Pencil

I can attest to the fact that cat litter can leave powdery blemishes. There's often a fine layer of dust on the boxes I pick up from Sam's Club. The color is much grayer than fuller's earth in my opinion though.

Floribama Steve

I like that style very much. How does it behave when copared to a traditional whip?

Floribama Steve

Do you mean "look" like Indy appearance-wise, or "feeling" like Indy emotionally? "Feeling" like Indy is equatable with having confidence in what you're wearing, regardless of how it looks.

Floribama Steve

That is too stinkin' cool!

Floribama Steve

Definitely functionality. I'm not about to buy $700 worth of "dress clothing" that I can only wear on Halloween.

Floribama Steve

My first Indy hat was a fur felt DP, and that thing is pretty tough. DP's aren't @#$% by default.

Floribama Steve

Incredible! That's amazing how the same dealer is still making the tunics.

Floribama Steve

I've noticed recently that more and more people seem to be sporting epaulets and double pockets on their shirts. It's mainly among rock bands, namely Third Day, Relient K, and Hawk Nelson, but just yesterday at church I saw a fellow wearing a safari shirt that could pass for a close enough Indy shir...

Floribama Steve

Welcome to COW Ronny! I believe I've seen you on the MySpace Indy group. That said, welcome once again and enjoy!

Floribama Steve

My only problem with the Magnoli shirt is that it has such a dressy look to it. I might have to get one of those ON shirts for field use.

Floribama Steve

Wow, just wow! I am astounded at the job that Marc as done! Incredible! :P :) :D Extreme Fedora Makeover. :lol: hehe, this sounds like a television show "Hello, and welcome to Extreme Fedora Makover. Today, we're going to meet three fedora owners who say that their hats have reached the end. B...

That is such amazing news Mr. Delk, I hope to goodness that outside chance works out!

Floribama Steve

Great bash Pitfall!

Floribama Steve

This is probably the coolest thing I've heard in a long time. Mr. Delk, you are a class act to present your handiwork to Mr. Ford the way you are. I really hope and pray that something big comes of this.

Floribama Steve

Yesterday I went kayaking with a friend out in Pensacola Bay, and coming back against the wind, we got splashed pretty good. I was wearing my MKVII to carry my watch and cell phone (in a ziploc inside,) and I had removed my leather strap from Todd and was using the webbing strap. After forty minutes...

Floribama Steve

I agree with Erri that the top flap looks slightly different. Only to my eye, the diagnal corners are cut off too far from the side and bottom of the flap. The flap itself looks slightly too short; but heck, I've only seen one bag in person (my own), so I'm no expert.

Floribama Steve

I think a coiled bullwhip would work well too, using it as a sort of flail to the opponent's face.

Floribama Steve

And remember, around here, "treatise" can be read as "2,000-word narrative essay."

Is that why they always sang so lethargically?

Oy ya ya yo....

Floribama Steve

I'd heard it mentioned that a famous adventurer/arcaheologist carried a bullwhip with him on his travels. And I wanted to know, how would a bullwhip benefit an archaeologist in the real world, if at all?

Floribama Steve

That's the part I missed on accident; I was more concerned with capturing a good shot of the bound edge.

Floribama Steve

I'm not sure if anyone's done this yet, but while I was fooling around with the camera the other day, I happened to get a beautiful shot of Mr. Delk's new AB ribbon. So for anyone who hasn't yet seen it, here it is:

Floribama Steve

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I've been reading on the Magnoli Clothiers site about the different fabric weights, and it has me curious as to what some other fabrics weigh. I was wondering what the best weights are normally for conventional outdoor shirts and pants. Thanks,

Floribama Steve

I agree with J_Weaver, if I was to buy from Orvis I'd get the Calvary Twill pants; the price is just outrageous.

Floribama Steve

This might be redundant, but I have to get a plug in here too. I often wear my AB in the heavy FL scrub brush, and even with the oak branches and briars scraping over it, the felt never takes a mark and the ribbon is just as perfect as the day I got it.

Floribama Steve

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with all of the fine folk here that I have come to a strange epiphany about the iconic Indy hat in a rather strange way. I am the proud owner of Fedora's Adventurebilt, truly the best and most accurate Raiders hat of all time - this is not news to anyone here, o...

Floribama Steve

I concur with everyone above me Mr. Magnoli, you never cease to amaze. One question though, are these boots going to be formal dress boots ala the Aldens or something more rugged?

And to add one more thing, that fabric blend can be very, very hot. It's tough fabric, but it feels almost like a costume before a few washes.

Floribama Steve

agent5 - Thanks for exposing my ignorance. :lol: I had looked at IndyGear somewhat recently but missed the fabric notation. And PLATON, I found the above fabric for about $6 a yard here: http://www.fabricdepot.com/Product.aspx?ItemKey=10597 Something I've been mulling over, perhaps buying my own fab...

actually the best solution would be to buy the fabric from Wested and send it to Magnoli to sew it.
Why would you do that? Wested doesn't use the correct material either.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT MATERIAL????!!!!

Floribama Steve

Don't let anyone fool you. ALL the shirts are gunna be too baggy except the Magnoli cuz' you can custom order it to your size. Only problem with the Magnoli is that it's not made from the same material as the original, but overal, most people don't care about that. They just want a good, quality sh...

Floribama Steve

LOL, let's hope so.

Actually, you remember how you were saying a while back that you thought they should be straight and not scalloped? Well, that's how they are.

(I'm saying it because I realllyyy don't feel like getting dressed and fooling with the digital camera again

)

Floribama Steve

Well, the fog won't break till Saturday, so I went ahead and got some indoor photos. The colors came out pretty warm here, but they still give a nice view of the contrast between the shirt and the pants. I'm quite pleased with them.

Post more and more pics as soon as you can Floribama, i'm very curious aswell! :wink: Can you tell us something more about the thickness? (do you have a wested to compare it with?) No, no Wested shirt to compare it with I'm afraid. If it's any help, the shirt is about the same weight as a dress shi...

Floribama Steve

Floribama, Good tip on the Magnoli shirt. Do you think you'll be posting pics of both the shirt and pants being worn? There are no pics of the Magnoli pants being worn other than the demo pair on the website. Which style pants did you get? Cotton? Twill? I'll post a picture of them together when I ...

Floribama Steve

Hemingway - No shrinkage at all. And with the fabric softened up a bit, the shirt is twice as much a pleasure to wear. Erri - The color is stone. In indoor lighting it looks a bit like the the TOD shirt as seen here: http://www.indygear.com/gear/images/Shirt-3_sm.jpg But in outdoor light I'm pretty ...

Floribama Steve

Hi all, I received my Magnoli shirt and pants a couple of days ago, and I have to say that I am very pleased with them. I wasn't sure if anyone had posted a picture of one of the shirts after a trip through the wash yet, so here are a few shots of mine. The vertical "pleats" in the shirt p...

Floribama Steve

I used to hang my AB on a double hook on the wall of my room, but I got leery of the possiblity of a bump forming in the felt. Since then I've started laying it on the dresser with the front edge of the brim hanging off to preserve the downward turn, which I like to keep in the median between the Ra...

Floribama Steve

To augment what Kris said about metal core, I believe the "swinging whips" were made of a metal cord wrapped in leather.

Floribama Steve

Well, this might be a little late, but Indy's jacket rode up on his arms quite a bit. Watch in the Well of Souls scene where he lays back and says the "snakes" line. The jacket comes waaaay up on his arm.

Floribama Steve

What I think is the biggest drawback to these arguments is that people try to take new hats and do things to them that just can't be done artificially. 3K$ is into the Cairo/Desert Chase look based on all the posts of his that I have read. And I'm not arguing against you, please don't misinterpret m...

I have been wondering about the dye-issue as well. I have received belts with dyed front from 3 vendors and cant really understand why they are not dyed "all the way through" like the originals from NH. So I am now producing them myself using durable, brown leather and original buckles fr...

As one who owns the strap in question, I can say without hesitation that is is of excellent quality. Have no fear.

Floribama Steve

I got the medium tall, which is great for me, since I like a sure tuck.

Floribama Steve

I just folded the strap and tucked it into my bag's back pocket. Since the bags are becoming harder to get, I didn't feel justified in cutting the original strap off, espcially after I saw that the original stitching had been repaired with the spare twine at on point.

Floribama Steve

I got some severe "grooves/no grooves" deja vu while reading this thread.

Floribama Steve

Great looking hat Canyon!

Floribama Steve

But seriously, I think you make some good points there. So should we start another thread, Were Ford's Aldens pre-distressed or Not? They looked fairly bright when he was on Sallah's rooftop. My guess is that they didn't have to do much to the Aldens. Sand scratches stuff up pretty quick, and the d...
