That's a good suggestion Shawnkara. Maybe some kind of combined ironing and pecards treatment will work well. I still haven't picked up the jacket yet but I've only owned it for a month, so I'm hoping the leather is still "fresh" enough to react well to my attempts. I will try and post som...

I don't already own brown Pecards so just wanted to make sure if is this the right stuff?

Don't Call Me Junior

So I'm getting the sleeves lengthened on my Wested lambskin, and the tailor called me to say that there will be a visable crease where the old edge was and wanted to know if I still wanted it done or not. I said to go ahead and I would worry about gettin the crease out after I got it back, which sho...

I would have to agree with a month as that's exactly how long mine took. I wouldn't get your hopes up like I did when Gemma said typical delivery was 21 days.

Don't Call Me Junior

Here's a picture I came across sometime and saved. Sorry it's kinda blurry.

Don't Call Me Junior

Way off topic, but did anyone else notice that "Raincoat" on the bottom-right looks a heckuva alot like the one that Frank Sinatra famously throws over his shoulder in the "Pal Joey" promotional photo-shoots? Indy N. :wink: It is quite similar, both in color and lining. I can te...

What I would recommend is to open up the phone book, look up a good orthopedic shoe store, and have THEM measure your feet. Tell them you need to be measured for the Alden boot. Chances are, they may be able to order the boot for you. In that case, you can make sure they fit before leaving the stor...

That link is longer than the staff of Ra!

Don't Call Me Junior

Glad to hear about the boots, they're the next item on my "to get" list. So do you think going to the store was worth it? Since they didn't have your shoe in-store do you think it would have been comprable to get your foot measured at a place like Nordstrom's and then order the shoe? Just ...

I tried reversing my d-rings and I must say it held the strap very well. I ended up switching it back though because I didn't like how you could see the gap in the metal. If you really wanted to hide the gap you could probably use some kind of epoxy or something and get a good look. I currently only...

Don't Call Me Junior

There is a gap in the metal and that could wear out the leather on the strap and do it some damage in time. I'm not willing to take that chance. Sounds like you've had luck with it thusfar, though. I don't see how this is a logical arguement because when the D-ring is in its correct position the ga...

I guess it also depends which movie you're talking about. On this jacket from Last Crusade the straps appear to clearly point forward.

Don't Call Me Junior

In your second picture you say the jacket on the right is goat. This appears to be the same jacket that you say is cow in the third picture. Am I right or do my eyes decieve me?

Don't Call Me Junior

I had to pay an extra $38 because of some "issue with customs" the mailman called it. Well, that went right into his pocket, didn't it? You have no idea why he was asking you for money and you still forked it right over? He should have had a detailed description of what and why you owed i...

Don't Call Me Junior

HigHurtenflurst-
I must say you did an AWESOME job distressing that bag. It looks more beat up than my original MkVII!

Don't Call Me Junior

I agree with everything that's been said but I'll give my advice as well. I do think that you should do what you feel is right, whether it's keep the strap or not. Personally, I own 2 MkVIIs and cut the strap off of both. I used my swiss army knife (in a MacGyver moment) to slice through the stitche...

Don't Call Me Junior

My jacket just came a couple of days ago and I had to pay an extra $38 because of some "issue with customs" the mailman called it. I paid because it was either that or watch him carry away my jacket that I'd been waiting to get for a whole month. That's right, my order was processed by Wes...

I have a laserdisc of Raiders on the way. When it arrives I'll try and do everything I can to post some shots from it. Until then I still believe there are grooves.

Don't Call Me Junior

One beaver on it's way. Don't know if that counts

Don't Call Me Junior

Hey Mike, I live in Seattle to. Well Redmond actually. Let me know if you can use any help and we should also get together sometime to talk gear. You don't know how to crack a whip do you?

Don't Call Me Junior

You need to get rid of the rings, too. The Raiders bag had thicker, heavier rings. In some scenes they're bright silver. I haven't gone back and looked at pictures yet, but is your bag a W&G like was used in the movies? The reason I ask is because I own a W&G and it has what I would conside...

Don't Call Me Junior

I'll soon start looking through the dvd extras whihc probably won't turn up much since they used such @#$% film to document it. It should just make it that much harder to spot them. I looked through the bonus disc on my search as well. I didn't come up with much but it looks like you have much bett...

Don't Call Me Junior

I'm waiting for my jacket to. I just try not to think about it too much and play with my other indy gear and watch the movies.

Don't Call Me Junior

To me that picture is very telling of how hard the grooves are to see. I have come to the conclusion that they do exist.

Don't Call Me Junior

I decided to start looking through the bonus disc for some irrefutable proof on the bag strap grooves. My logic was that there is a lot of "behind the scenes" shots which might show a better view and also other footage that hasn't been "touched up". Unfortunately I didn't find th...

Don't Call Me Junior

I think the key to the grooves is that they are very shallow. My only thought is that whatever cleanup software they used must have thought they were scratches in the film. Whereas the "slash" on the strap in that scene is much more prominent so it stayed. I recently got two bags (Both Mk ...

Don't call me Junior, Is there anyway that you could reduce the size of those images so that we don't have to scroll side to side on each line while reading a post. I can't stand having to scroll like that, and quite frankly, sometimes I skip a whole thread and don't bother reading any of it if I s...

Don't Call Me Junior

Go back, break out the dvd and put it in the pc. I just did and the evidence is all there. All of it. The bag strap had grooves on it, PERIOD. I wish I could see what you're seeing. To get back to the original topic I think there might have been a degree of fine detail loss on the DVD release (i.e....

Don't Call Me Junior

I saw a lot of ifs and maybes but nothing I felt was evidence enough. In particular there was a couple of shots in the opening temple scene, the one that sticks out to me was when Ford gives the line "stay out of the light". There were some others also at about the same camera distance whe...

Don't Call Me Junior

Maybe it's just my imagination but in some of those grabs it looks like the strap could have grooves in it. If they are there it looks like they are very shallow and maybe just don't show up well on film. I will try myself to locate a shot that shows any hard evidence of their existence.

Don't Call Me Junior

The hat is made by Peters Brothers. I didn't mean to start a belt controversy but looking at that picture made it look weird to me. Guess I'm just too used to seeing it in the mirror. After looking that does appear to be the way indy wears his belt (excess hanging to the wearer's left)

Sounds like you've already made up your mind but I would also suggest to go with an Adventurebilt. Unlike others I haven't owned a ton of diferent fedoras, but according to all those wise individuals it is THE hat. I got another hat and ended up ordering an Adventurebilt two days later. Save the tim...

Don't Call Me Junior

Michaelson, the way people talk about your age I would have guessed you started out with cave paintings.

Don't Call Me Junior

Just as an update I already ordered my Adventurebilt from Steve. I got beaver and can't wait to get this great hat. Reading everything you guys have written about the ABs has my mouth watering in anticipation.

Here is a picture of me in my first Indy fedora. I just got it Saturday but waited until now to post about it because I didn't want to be harassed for not having a picture. http://photobucket.com/albums/b252/dontcallmejunior/?action=view&current=DSCN0784.jpg Sorry the picture is so huge. Yes, I ...

Don't Call Me Junior

I agree with you IJ, I think I'm in between also. When I get my jacket (should be in a couple weeks) I plan on giving it some hard wear. But taking a pocket knife or sandpaper to it.... :? that's a different story. I don't know if this is discussed somewhere, I'll try doing a search, but would it sp...

Don't Call Me Junior

Funny, I just saw that commercial for the first time the other day and the first thing I thought of was distressing Indy gear. My only concern in distressing something would be the effect on its longevity. I think I recall seeing something in the extras on the DVD of the costume designer talking abo...
