Thank you. I think it seems small compared to the couple of whips I had years ago. Certainly is lighter. Matching what’s on screen is the point though and it appears it does.

I’ll just have to get better at using it!

Hi I recently purchased a Todd's Costume 10ft whip. I'm wondering how thick the screen accurate or Morgan whips are. The Todd's whip was thinner and lighter than I expected. It's 5x cheaper so that's not so surprising. I think the lightness makes it harder to crack, or maybe it's me. If this questio...

Masterfulks

I've always thought the jacket looked Dark Brown to almost black on screen.

The authenic seems too light in the picks I've seen (though TLC jacket on screen is dusty in a lot of scenes to make it look lighter).

PLATON wrote:TODD, this photo tells a lot about where the yoke seam should be.

Isn't Indy lying down, more or less, in that scene?

The jacket looks like it's riding kind of high on him there.

Masterfulks

I find the more you know about something, the less you'll be impressed by such claims.

Be it cars, martial arts, relics, etc...

Do you know a dude that goes by the nickname Bubba :lol: :lol: :lol: LMAO.....sorry, no offense intended.....but you have to understand that we have more " Bubbas " in our Southern phone books than there are Smiths or Williams . :wink: :lol: :) I was surprised that the guy embraced the ni...

You didn't happen to have gone to Mississippi College in Jackson did you? You look kinda familar... Nice Jacket! Yep, graduating from law school in May. Indyjim - I ordered my sleeves knowing they might be a bit long and hoping that once they wrinkle they will be just right...even if they are a bit...

Nice Jacket!

Masterfulks

Why go through the trouble to get a custom jacket just to ebay it?

Masterfulks

Is it an odd size?

Perhaps that's holding it up and others are getting something a little more off the rack.

Masterfulks

I use photobucket.

It's free, and puts the img tags around the address for easy copying and pasting.

Get your image location and put around it with no spaces.

That should do it.

Masterfulks

Maybe it's glued...

Masterfulks

Yeah Wilson's is pretty pricey. I got a nice lambskin jacket for 75% off the marked price of 450 or something like that. It was a good deal, and the jacket has been great. Though i wouldn't pay over 400 for any jacket. If you can catch them having a big sale, and look hard enough, you can get some d...

Masterfulks

I always thought that he had it tucked in his bag...

That seems a little more logical than just tucked in the pants. Having it tucked in your pants, with another holster exposed is almost asking for trouble.

Masterfulks

I'm still a fan of shot placement over anything.

I figure shoot the biggest that you can control and you'll be alright. I do perfer the extra shots, on average, that a 9mm provides.

Although a few hi capacity .45's have been drawing my attention lately.

Masterfulks

The 9mm has plenty of power behind it. The last stats that I've looked at has it around the 90% or higher (depending on ammo) for one shot kills. The .45, in some loads, was well below the 9mm in one shot stops. I'm going to have to dig up some numbers now because I'm curious again to how close they...

Masterfulks

I seem to remember another service dropping mine off.

I could be mistaken. I do remeber that the jacket made it trip all the way to Mississippi faster than UPS could ship a smaller package across town.

Masterfulks

I recently was given a silver/chrome high power (I was told that silver/chrome was the name....). It's a fun gun to shoot. I'm thinking of switching out the grips on mine as well. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b94/Masterfulks/Copyofguns007.jpg I have two issues with the gun so far. First being t...

Masterfulks

Your Dad had a well trained habit of doing that, and I'm positive based on what HIS Dad taught HIM when HE learned how to use and carry a handgun. It really wasn't necessary if he was carrying a double action revolver....but nothing wrong with it. Just drops the number of shots you have if you don'...

Masterfulks

Actually I've found the 1911 to be a very simple and straight forward gun to shoot. My wife was hitting well with it within seconds. Half cock on a 1911? I've always heard that wasn't very safe (for carry) as it was meant to just keep it from firing if your thumb slipped off the hammer while cocking...

Masterfulks

Which makes me also wonder if Indy carried his revolver on an empty cylinder. Why should he? He wasn't carrying a single action revolver that DID require that to be done, but a double action Smith and Wesson that had the rebound safety feature that Smith created and patented back in 1898. Regards! ...

Masterfulks

I know of a few people that even today would take a wheelgun over any automatic. Indy being Indy he probably wants to be #### sure that his stuff works, and a revolver will go bang just a little bit more often. A 1911 only holds 7 rounds in the magazine so there's not much of an advantage ammowise....

I dunno, I perfer the flaps on my Wested.

I'm not really a fan of the pointy look of them. Even if they may be more screen accurate.

When I thought of the jacket, before I really did any research, several things did stick out to me. Pointy flaps was not one of them...

Masterfulks

If you're this far into getting the jacket, you might as well finish the process. Being that you are sending it back, I would hope that your redo order would be checked extra carefully to be sure that it didn't happen again. Besides Indy wouldn't give up that easy, or the Nazi's would have both the ...

I use my side entry all the time.

Mainly for keys.

If you're ever stuck tied to a chair with someone, while the place is on fire, where are you going to have your lighter if you have no side entry pockets?

Masterfulks

Hard to tell, Platon. We know Ford wore a size 44R in LC. What size is the FS jacket you're showing in the second photo. We need to know if we're comparing apples to apples in sizes here. :-k We've also heard a LOT of reports like Masterfulks above. Wested pockets have been all OVER the chart, but ...

Masterfulks

Well the pockets on my Wested look like they are closer in size to your bottom pic.

Masterfulks

Yep, but if he wasn't on fire he wouldn't have run into the street!

Masterfulks

My wife is a forensic scientist, in their morgue.... A guy had a car wreck and apparently his clothes were on fire. In a panic he ran out in the street and was killed when a car hit him. When I saw that topic I thought of that poor b*****d. If he had only had a flame resistant jacket he might have l...

Masterfulks

I would think that if the collar and pockets do not scale with the size of the jacket it would be hard to tell. A size 48 jacket with the same size collar and pockets is going to look different than a size 36 with the same stuff. At least that's how I would assume to think about it. I'd like to see ...

Masterfulks

I thought it was claimed that all the pockets were the Last Crusade pockets? Unless you asked for smaller.

I have TOD jacket and my hands fit in just fine. I'm not a small guy either.

Masterfulks

At first I was going to do the extra inch thing with a Raiders Jacket. Then I decided to go TOD since the only difference would be an extra inch in the back (if I didn't get another inch on the front of the TOD). So no I didn't do the inch in the front and it's not a problem. That's probably another...

Masterfulks

I forgot to mention that it's a TOD Wested.

I think it's about the perfect length. I couldn't see getting an inch shorter.

Masterfulks

I'm 6'1 and the back measured from the bottom of the collar seam (if you flip the collar up) is just shy of 26". You might want to measure yourself from the base of your neck to the top of your pants to get how that measurement would be on you. If you're longer in the torso or in the legs the j...

Masterfulks

I was trying to think of some ways to keep them shut.

I wonder how tough it would be to put a few little magnets under the leather.

Not super strong ones, just enough to keep them closed, but light enough that they would pop open when you needed space to move.

Masterfulks

I have other lamb jackets and I wanted something more durable so I went with Goat. Mine is not really broken in well yet, but it's not nearly as floppy looking as Indy's. If I planned on leaning against trees or being on the ground at all, I think I would avoid lamb. That's just based off other lamb...

Masterfulks

50 plus shipping right?

So that would push it upwards towards 100 bucks right? If you ship it from the US that is.

Masterfulks

I specificed the cuff opening on my TOD jacket and gave my bicep measurement. I just asked for the sleeve to taper slightly to meet the cuff. Personally I dont like the cuffs on my jackets to be oversized, and I find that most jackets are sized larger than what I need (I assume to fit a wider range ...

Masterfulks

Here's a back shot of my Dark Brown Temple of Doom Goat.

I personally wouldnt want the jacket to be any shorter. I think that a 1 inch difference is going to be absorbed into your body type.

Masterfulks

I think most likely Indy just came across this gun and liked it.

Maybe he took it off someone who tried to kill him...

Masterfulks

Nah the Gussets dont make that much of a difference.

You would need a good bit of extra material under there to keep it from rising up.

Masterfulks

We do need to see it on to get the real picture.

I never can tell much of anything by a pic of just a jacket. They always look so lifeless just laying around or on a hanger.

Masterfulks

Very nice jacket!

The reason I got the Goat, is like you, I thought Indy would be sporting a tougher hide than Lamb.

I was worried that HH would be too stiff for me, but after seeing your pics it looks like it would be a nice one to have. Especially if you're going to be rough on it.

Masterfulks

If was to ever wear the hat and jacket to work I'd never live it down.

We just pick on each other that way.

These people are big Napolean Dynamite fans if that helps you to understand.

Women can surprise you in shooting sports. I've often heard they tend to shoot better because guys grow up playing around with guns and develop bad habits.

Women will surprise you in fencing too. A foil, epee, or saber can smack you just as fast in a womans hands.

Masterfulks

Here's a couple of my tips. Be sure to be at the end of a "breath" when you actually squeeze the trigger. This is especially true to shooting a rifle. If you're shooting fast, then that doesnt matter as much. One way to test yourself is to take a revolver and load 4 of the 6 rounds. Then w...

You could always make a full body cast of yourself and mail it in.

Sending in an old jacket would be a cool idea to get the right fit.

Masterfulks

You could always close one of your eyes.

I ordered my first one about a year ago. My fourth one will be here soon. There's nothing wrong with having more than one jacket. In fact, I think you should get another one to make ME feel better about having four. :D Wow 4 in a year! I wonder who has the most around here.... I plan on my Dark Bro...
