Why don't we ask George Harris (Capt. Katanga) or John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) who were there too.
Maybe they will remember something...

PLATON

Hey Zendragon, moses borrowed that photo to show that the yoke seam placement of the Imam house jacket differs from the Bantu jacket. I amde that photo to use for some other matter which is off topic.

PLATON

Here's a clearer shot of the yoke http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7420/yokes.jpg I think _ is saying the Imam's house jacket is the Hero and should have a high yoke. _ is saying the Bantu jacket we see on Ford sitting on the dock is the location shot therefore the 'Hero' and has a high yoke, we a...

PLATON

I had a chat with Kelly and asked, "Is there one sequence where you could swear that Ford is wearing the original hero jacket?" The Imam's house... That's the hero. That is the jacket he's wearing in those location stills on the dock next to the Bantu. If you see something different - it ...

PLATON

Platon? I just don't know how to answer when you say things like that... It's like saying that maybe the guys at Mercedes don't know what the engine block is on my car, so I should listen to the guy who talks to himself in front of the Starbucks... What am I supposed to do with that? I think you mi...

PLATON

Maybe Kimball and Nadoolman don't even know what the yoke is. (TN was calling it something else)

PLATON

Yes, but from what I've heard filmakers get charged the same as us mere mortals, by Peter that is.

Sure KT but Peter was charging B+N who in their turn charged the filmakers I don't know what.

PLATON

Then maybe you don't have a sense of humor...

PLATON

It was a joke man.

PLATON

Holt I think you should get TN LC instead of Wested.
TN is the Master at nailing the length.

PLATON

Il profumo dell avventura?

PLATON

I think someone was on the ship leaning against the bulwark/rails but not sure

PLATON

If I recall correctly this New Zealand "Morino" (or whatever they are called) are sheepskin.

PLATON

It's just doesn't make sense to recreate the whole ship (costs money) rather than shoot the scene on site (free). It's not a matter of one telling the truth and not believing him, it's a matter of telling things that are hard to believe. Hard to believe for the inexperienced of course and I include ...

PLATON

There is no way this is a painting as when Salah leaves we can see the camera moving towards the right and now the superstructure of the poop deck becomes visible. In the previous shot when Karen was kissing Salah the poop deck was not entirely visible because it was partly hidden behind the accomod...

PLATON

I don't think he wears padding in that photo, do you?

PLATON

Here's another shot of the Terry Leonard jacket. It has a low yoke, same as the bantu and the truck scene http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2711/300c.jpg I don't think it's a Wilsons I don't think it's the bantu, but could be *edit* forgot to say that image is edited (brightness) to reveal the deta...

PLATON

Hey whiskyman, can you please bring back the photos of this thread?

Thanks

PLATON

Nope - The cloth mock-up was a Wilson pattern with a working action pleat. You are making things up again, my friend... My friend, I don't wanna make up anything. But wasn't the reason why the went to Peter the fact that they didn't like the Wilson? What didn't they like about it? The color? Or the...

PLATON

Dutch don't start a length discussion here please. It's pointless.

PLATON

One more thing I need to say is that, the jacket that inspired the 80s fit Chris King 919 pattern could have been the below, http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/images/photos/raiderslrg.jpg but certainly, it wasn't the temple, or the raven, or the wing fight scene jacket, which has a fuller...

PLATON

First, I don't think you need me to tell you how long is the jacket in this pic http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c39/Mac0/Misc/38114.jpg you can see by yourselves. Secondly, I doubt that the Bantu Wind jacket is the Wilson's. If it was then why DN rejected it and went for the Westeds? The Bantu Win...

PLATON

It's still not clear about the pockets. There's two kind of pockets. The top entry pocket, i.e. the one covered by the flap and The handwarmer i.e. the side entry pocket In the old Todd's standard the pockets are "patch" pockets, and the side entry pockets are the space provided between th...

PLATON

_, don't leave. You have become more scarce than Ford himself. I recall that during the boarding scene we could see the Bantu Wind vessel on the left of the screen. Well, since the vessel couldn't have been on the soundstage then it meand there was a film editing there. But since the Bantu Wind was ...

PLATON

With all due respect, you mean to say that if you say Harrison Ford can be quoted as remembering that it came off Martin Grace's back because the script supervisor stopped the shoot for those scenes as Ford was not going to wear a jacket initially. or if you say Harrison Ford can be quoted as rememb...

PLATON

Looks like I am going for a M+ (although I'd rather have the back 24 instead of 23 inches) Does anybody have the M+ ? I don't think we ever saw any photos of it, I mean worn. And one question. Do the new + sizes have patch pockets, or do the side entry pockets cut into the lining (as the SA thing sh...

PLATON

I think I found what is the notorious effect on the film jacket Read what I found in a leather specialist's glossary Double Hiding - Naturally occurring phenomenon in lambskins relating to the separation of the layers of the skin, with the formation of air pockets between the layers of skin. http://...

PLATON

Mine is a 40 and measures 21' across
Someone has given me Fords Raiders size from his TN jacket also as 21'
Todd's M measures 22.5' I am told.
Todd's L measures 21 I am told
A 42 ROLA measures 23 1/2

Maybe some people here don't know how to take measurements exactly.

PLATON

No no, it's not about the length.
Length is over.

PLATON

Whiskyman,
What size you wear? Ford's size?

PLATON

It's great

PLATON

Yeah, the jacket looks great and the back length even greater.

PLATON

I am of the opinion that there is an X-box stitch (which is the only logical stitch in the whole world - other jackets have it too, plus all similar stitches everywhere are X-box) but in the shot of the wing only HALF of it is visible.

PLATON

Just for reference, here's a good example of jacket in which the pockets 'blend in' rather than sticking out.

You almost cannot see them when looking from a distance.

PLATON

Again Platon, Have you had a nowak Raider in hand to see function this for yourself? Read back, the flaps are copied exactly. RC, No I don't have a TN. But I owned 3 A-2 jackets which had the flaps like this. They were stiff. Rask, you mean your Wested flap is like this ? http://img41.imageshack.us...

PLATON

Rask what you just said means that your TN pocket flaps have different stitching than Chris'
Correct?

PLATON

The flap is soft and is tucked into the pocket, with the thick stiffer pocket flap it less less likely to do that. KT, not only it is tucked, but we can see that some part (the middle part) of it is tucked while the edges are still out, so it is folded like in two spots. Now THAT is 'less likely' t...

PLATON

Holt, But I didn't even get the time to say "it is short" yet. Just kidding. Despite the disagreements, we still enjoy this thread and although I respect the mods judgement, it's not like we started cursing or anything... Besides, I think peope are interested to hear some arguments about h...

PLATON

Holt, we 're all civil here. On the NH jacket? But that was a different jacket by a different manufacturer on a different film? So you assume that whoever made the TOD jacket did not see any original ROTLA? He just made it from his imagination based on stories he heard from others who have seen it? ...

PLATON

RC thanks
Is it a 'post' in this thread? or a different thread?

PLATON

Bottom line is, from the screenshots, the flaps don't seem to have the 'double turning' G&B used to have and that TN made for Chris (and for others maybe).

PLATON

BTW How's your "Authentic" lamb looking these days according to Peter? This was not needed. We are not attacking any vendors. We're just discussing if some details are correct or not. Do you think that if Peter makes a jacket with wrong details we'll applaud him? or 'crucify' him so to sp...

PLATON

There's exactly and exactly. Depends on how much detail oriented someone is. This is another good shot of the pocket. See how crumbled is the pocket flap Hard to achieve when it's too thick. http://www.theraider.net/films/raiders/gallery/dvdscreenshots/269.jpg Also, look at the collar. It's much nar...

PLATON

Pictures speak by themselves.

Yojimbo is correct, TN copied the jacket including hardware exactly as it was. I guess Wested just does flaps differently now?

I guess this is some of the details than TN 'corrected'.

PLATON

Hello friends,

If anyone has Todds size M+ please contact me by PM.

I guess M+ is larger than M but if this is true I don't understand how the length of M is 24.5in and the length of M+ 23

PLATON

Congrats CK The collar is the hawaii collar right? Length seems OK, but it's hard to tell with the position of the arms/hands. One small detail I would have changed. The pocket flaps are too thick around the edges. It's because TN tries to hide the unfinished hide of the under side of the flap, unde...

PLATON

It looks good VP.
That's their authentic or dark lamb?

PLATON

Hey Indiana G,

I think the back in the photo above is longer that what we are used to in Tony's jacket.
Am I wrong, or not?

PLATON

Nobody can match the shirt because it was made from swiss cotton and replicating it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I have 3 shirts made of the same material. I bought them from ZARA store. They still have them I guess. With regards to the Noel Howard shirt, it is a lot tougher...

PLATON

Excellent video whiskyman.
It seems the back hangs higher than the front most of the times...
