Maybe there is some muddling of scenes. Top folks say the Bantu scene was reshot. Maybe a different Bantu scene? IN the boat? On the deck? Or maybe only part of the scene was reshot, and cut together with the location footage? Well obviously the scene in the Cabin between indy and Marion is a set s...

Thanks people for the great stories, Well prior to COW and knowing about Indy hats I bought a Akubra Snowy River thinking it would be just like Indy's! After that I went into a hat shop and they pointed me to a lower crowned wide brimmed fedora as their Indy model. The price was roughly the same as ...

Katanga is walking up to the main part of the ship in that scene and is looking at sallah indy and marion from the edge of the ship.

Dutch_jones

Well I said cow but I actually meant before the internet. I mean which indy hats were out there before the internet really broke and how did you get them? I know nowadays its easy to find out HJ made the originals due to the DVD etc. But how did most of you know before that was released?

Sorry guys, I was in town, but I could hardly move for the crowds attending the 'Pride London' celebration. The streets were filled with revellers and the traffic was stationary and I needed to get to work. Sadly SAB don't open on Sundays so the next opportunity I'll get will be Monday. Sorry for t...

WOW how cool is that !!!!!

Inexpensive jones could you maybe post the pictures of your stetson temple on how you got it to look like that again? I remember it vaguely and it being REALLy brilliant:D would love to see them again if possible.

Hat B and C look better on you

Excellent bashwork my friend ! Hat A looks too tall on you. The bash on it is cool though. But hat B and C have better specs to fit your face.

Dutch_jones

I SO needed that ! Darn Brilliance

Here's something from May 10, 2008 from the London Times: May 10, 2008 Dr Indiana Jones, where did you get that hat? Legend has it that Spielberg and Ford personally approached the London hat specialists Herbert Johnson to make Jones’s famous fedora. Richard Swales, now retired, was the man given t...

You could also be quite right, but It might have been an reaction to multiple questions about Swales. But it also could be true ! Maybe we'll never find out

Dutch_jones

It could be a "strategy" to let this man in "peace". It's no difficult to imagine how he was disturbed at the end by fans...asking always about Indy fedoras. he wanted to be quite but...I repeat : it's strange that nobody (except you) was looking about him ! Perhaps, he has left...

I see this come up a lot:

the Wested of Today is not the same company as it was when Raiders was made, are we to believe that this company has been sending mis matched jackets all along? Did B&N not look the jackets over before providing them to the set?
What about LC mis matched jackets too?

I think the hawaii hat ( all scenes before the temple ) ( can't comment on the running away from hovitos ) Is different. Its much much lighter than the other hats in colour, when we see it in full (sun) light its very light.. when the hat in cairo in direct light is very dark brown ish still ! besid...

Dutch_jones

As I said earlier, if the Butterfield jacket was a film-used jacket - why does it appear not to be shrunken lamb? and why does it appear to be so different and in such great shape? I don't think it looks that much different , actually looks quite a lot like the film jackets in the butterfields cata...

and westeds current pattern is mostly based on the jacket They provided for indy 4? Do you mean to say that Wested's CS offering is based on Wested's submission for the Indy 4 jacket? If so, remember that Wested didn't get the contract, so that pattern wouldn't be the most accurate for CS. No i did...

Dutch_jones

Ok, so Holt's copy will be his own version based on the current LC/CS pattern which is itself a hybrid of Tony Nowak's and Peter Botwright's features, whose LC elements are copied from a Magnoli, which is copied from a template created by Indy Magnoli who had been provided measurements from a gearh...

WOW that is a great post ! And Swales is still alive !? How cool that you got to meet him too !

Dutch_jones

Who's baiting who now? Not exactly 'Moderator behaviour'. If you'd paid any attention, you'd have read that my first TN CS was a hair too small. Entirely my fault, I went with a collar to shoulder length of 6.75", instead of the 'Harrison Ford' size of 7.25 inches. It felt a little tight in th...

I wonder if anyone could ask Mr. Grace whether he remembers having two different jackets during Raiders. Yes he mostly likely did, AS did Terry and also Vic, Terry had his stunt jacket and the jacket used in the truck drag scene, which are very different. And Vic and Martin would have Doubles jacke...

But Holt is it really a 'LC' without the distinctive distressing ? :anxious: yep. big COOL collar. big flaps. low yolk. the distresisng is just a detail that makes the jacket look cool on film for Indy. when walking around in public with distressing like that, people would give me a second look... ...

Dutch_jones

thank you ! that is a VERY interesting texture. It looks very close to lamb but a bit more textured than that.

Dutch_jones

Cool thanks !but to get on topic, I don't think any of the vendors have ever made a raiders jacket in Merino sheepskin.

So your closest option is indeed Lambskin !:D

Dutch_jones

Since when Dutch? EH.... Since Peter confirmed it was sheepskin, and since several leather experts said the same? ;) Correct - old lamb with character... Whether it's called lamb or sheep is about a 50/50 push when you talk to people on the wholesale side of this - but it is technically sheep. Ever...

Actually the Raiders jacket was made of Sheepskin, which still is the same animal but a different age group, LC and TOD were lamb.

The jacket from the Butterfields auction is the jacket Tony Nowak had? I thought that was what was posted in that really long thread about TN having an original to copy?

I WAS suggesting that jacket was the base for the TOD but I don't know if that is the wilsons. That jacket DOES have pleats.

A bit yes.

But LOOK at this:

Agreed, but its already pushed out by lots of padding it seems or that jacket is skin tight!
