I have a photo of me wearing mine in a front on shot, but it's HUGE and I don't have control of the photo size as it's on my daughters photo account....let alone the fact you're asking folks with 'fat heads' to show their glasses. :? Not sure I want to comply. :-k [-( ;) Regards! Michaelson Michael...

Hello, I am currently looking for a new pair of specs, and my girlfriend is determined to get me some hipster-ish plastic frames. Personally, I am more inclined to wire-framed kinds. though not as round as Indy's. But I have always wanted a really nice 14kt pair, such as our dear Dr. Jones wore. The...

IndyChaos

I really like that. Well done Peter.
Cheers,

It's technically a medical boot, so that's probably why you didn't find it. :wink:[/quote] Bink, Those are some good looking boots. I bet they feel great with the amount of bracing and such they have made into them. Thanks ...

IndyChaos

Bink, I've been poking around at the few online Alden catalogues, and I can't seem to find the 502s and what they look like. Do you happen to have any photos, or know of a better way to find them online? Thanks so much.
Cheers,

That was so bad I had to laugh. Good start to the day. Thanks for that.

That is a good looking straw hat, and I like the brown hat as well, maybe moreso. But that white hat is very sharp looking. OK before I say this, I have to preface my thoughts with a little caveat. I am originally from Arlington which is right outside Ft. Worth, TX so Peters Bros. is the hometown he...

IndyChaos

Whew, that's a purdy one. One day. . .
Cheers,
Chaos

IndyChaos

Congratulations, it looks great! I think it must be some kind of postal policy to damage hat boxes. My PB custom box arrived a little beat up also! It must be their standard practice because the same thing happened to my Camptown -- and just about every other thing I have ever had dispatched via th...

IndyChaos

The only problem I see, besides the uber-white stitching which plagues all new boots, is the vertical stitching on the toe. I would take extra care to darken that up so its not noticeable, but leave the rest a little lighter. Look good, and if they're comfortable go for it.
Cheers,
Chaos

IndyChaos

Those are some sharp looking boots. I'm the same way. Most of my gear is in the close enough category, but I love it all the same. And it gives me some things to long for. Not a bad start, my friend.
Cheers,
Chaos

IndyChaos

All I can say is that you're goingt o love it. Now, if Jersey would only post some pics of his Noir. . . It's hard to type when you keep drooling on your keyboard.
Cheers,
Chaos

IndyChaos

Which model did you get? I am the proud and very happy owner of a Fieldmaster, and it is a great hat.
Cheers,
Chaos

IndyChaos

I carry mine every day in my right pants pocket. Alongside it, I carry my Hubertus knife and a British two pound coin I picked up while in London last summer. Just in case I randomly wake up on an adventure (I keep hoping) I'll have my knife and lighter ready to go and at least some money in my pock...

IndyChaos

That's a great looking hat. When I get a little more loose change, an odd idea to contemplate for a college kid, I'm going to get onf of those. You'll love it. I certainly love my Fieldmaster. By the way JJ, the name Fieldmaster itself is pretty cool. I wore it out to a bar the other night, and seve...

IndyChaos

Michaelson, thanks for the salt. It'll go nicely in my wounds. :lol: Cheers, Chaos No salt intended, my friend. We can NOT emphasize safety enough in this hobby when it comes to the use and practice with the whip, and, of course, handling of firearms. Even the veterans need to remind themselves of ...

IndyChaos

It's that whole "common sense" part that gave me troubles. :wink: Like I said, I was being foolish, and I just hope my example, embarrassing though it may be, can save someone else the misfortune of hurting themselves far worse than just a crack on the head (pun intended). Michaelson, than...

IndyChaos

OK this is the only place I could post this without feeling too much embarrasment. So after rereading several threads about Indy's bullwhip last night, I went out in my backyard to practice with my own. Now, keep in mind my whip s*cks. It's a 10-foot Mexican plait whip with a swivel wooden handle th...

IndyChaos

Hang on, lady. We're going on a ride. Mine was an ill-fated Stetson Temple, followed shortly by my Dad's old Avirex B-2 bomber jacket. Neither was close to screen accurate, but I thought I was the cat's meow. I still have and wear the jacket because it's sooooooo soft after 20 years of wear. I'll ev...

IndyChaos

Personally, if the prop is all that makes the character who he is, then either the character is shallow or the writing is bad. My feeling is it isn't the hat, the jacket, or the whip which makes Indy. It's his determination, perseverance, and human quirks which makes Indy the character so many peop...

IndyChaos

Puppetboy, Thanks so much for the tip about molding the holster to your gun. I soaked mine thoroughly for about 15 to 20 seconds, wrapped my HFC airsoft in a baggie -- genius by the way, I wouldn't have thought of that -- and then let it dry for two days. It works great. I got my delux Webley holste...

IndyChaos

Hey there, good to see a fellow resident of the great state of Louisiana. Perhaps a Louisiana summit is on the horizon? My family is also based in Fort Worth, and I promise you good service when you visit Peters Bros. I bought a black pork pie hat there once, and they are a great company. Welcome ab...

IndyChaos

Ok I finally got a few pictures. My apologies for the goofiness of my expression. It is the result of cheesy jokes told to me at the moment I was supposed to say cheese. Let me know what you think. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i151/IndyChaos/Meinhat2.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i151/I...

Good call on the spring Bink. I popped it open and, after a semi-nightmare of puzzling it back together, I got the whole thing working again like a champ. Appreciate the pointer.

Hey guys, I just received my HFC Model-Revolver 131A1 from Gamesfantasy.com, and at first I was super excited. Like the fool that I am, I have been dry firing it just to get the feel of the action. Well, for some reason the trigger has stopped recoiling to the full ready position. When I pull the tr...

IndyChaos

I appreciate all of the positive feedback. It's really a great hat. And I promise to get some pictures of it on my noggin soon.
Cheers,
Chaos

IndyChaos

Count me in that number. I was actually told by a slick but very confused salesman that the ill-fated Stetson Temple was the exact hat used in the movie. When I started to realize that it wasn't breaking in anything like the hats in the movies, I began nosing around. That's how I stumbled upon this ...

IndyChaos

OK, my apologies for spamming my own thread, but I do have a few pics that Jersey sent when he finished my hat. This should calm some of those demanding pics for a moment or two. Anyway, I'll post some more with myself in the hat when I can track down a camera. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i151...

IndyChaos

To Dr. Seuss, I need to add an addendum to my previous response. When I spoke to Jersey, he said that when he orders from his supplier, he has to order in quantity. I think he said he ordered about ten hats in the standard sizes. Since I called him out of the blue, my hat was achieved on a sort of s...

IndyChaos

To Dr. Seuss, When it was all said and done it took about four months. Jersey ran into a little bit of trouble in getting the felt from his supplier. His source is a large company that does a most of its work for big western stores who order felt for their entire cowboy hat line, so a boutique opera...

IT FINALLY CAME!!!! In February, I committed the cardinal sin of Indygear fans. I lost my fedora. There was nothing cool or heroic about it. No leaving it in a tomb as the door came crashing down. No dropping it in the wake of a giant boulder chasing me. No I left it in my backseat and a friend unwi...

IndyChaos

I would also be very interested in a pair of the 34,32s. Did you say that they had toom to be let down to a 34?
Chaos

IndyChaos

Mola Ram, It's actually on quite evenly because I assumed -- you know what that means -- that it would simply wipe off. I would just prefer to get it back to white because I like the look of it better. Any ideas? It's also a bit of a future-reference wuestion so I can fix problems of the same nature...

IndyChaos

Esteemed colleagues, I finally got my new Aldens, and they are fantastic. Thank you to all of you who recommended them because not only are they quite comfortable, as has been mentioned countless times here in this forum, but it is a pure thrill to sport them with a white dress shirt, khaki pants an...

IndyChaos

Those are actually my jeans of choice as well, so this is good to hear. Do you have any pics, especially profile shots? I'm interested in how they look from the side as I have not seen that view in either jeans or khakis. Thanks,
Jeff

IndyChaos

Well played use of the uber-emoticon, Tone.

But I agree with its sentiment. Does anyone have side-by-side pics to demonstrate the similarities/differences?
Jeff

IndyChaos

Michaelson and Baggers, I know little about the actual workings of watches, so if you guys say they can hold, I'll take your word as gold. Thanks for the input. It's nice to learn something every now and again. :D I'm still going to try and find what make and model Harry is wearing to see if it will...

IndyChaos

Kittlemeier,
Thanks for the direction.

I'll see if I can't find out what kind of watch it is. If its anywhere close to period, we may have found a suggestion as to what kind of watch the good doctor may have worn.
Jeff

IndyChaos

I actually looked at the Staurs not too long ago, and at some point, I will probably pick one up. They really are good looking. My only concern is that they wouldn't be able to stand up to a rugged lifestyle because of all of the moving parts and its overall complexity. That said, they are beautiful...

IndyChaos

I can't quite tell. Is the watch Harry is wearing a Staur? Or is yours a well-educated guess at what Indy would have worn?
Jeff

IndyChaos

Haha, perfect. Thanks yet again. You have been helpful on several fronts this evening.

Jeff

IndyChaos

Thanks for the heads up. I've been trying to get it smaller, and I just assumed it looked big to me. I've been using Imageshak to upload it, and it doesn't seem to make it the right size. Any pointers? Like I said earlier, I am painfully new to these things.
Jeff

IndyChaos

OK, I know this probably isn't an actual picture of Harry in his role as Indy, but I came across this image not too long ago, and I thought it was at least worth mentioning as a contribution to the perrenial debate about what kind of watch Indy would have worn. Michaelson, I am expecting an anachron...

IndyChaos

Thanks for the pic Strider. You're right. They look sharp on you.
Jeff

Hello everyone, First, I have to say that I am new to the forum in an official sense, but I have been reading the banter for some time now. First-time poster; long-time lurker, you could say. Anyway, I am on the verge of making the plunge and getting some Aldens, but I am concerned they will not loo...
