Great photos! It's awesome to see all the gorgeous places you've been. BTW The young lady you're with looks a bit like Reese Witherspoon. Keep up the Adventures!

For those prices you should get the steaks and roasts from the cow they took them off too! No offense to any vegans.

Now to burst my own bubble. Doing further research on napa leather, I find that it is, in fact, pigskin. :( Here's some of what I've read, In the past, Nappa has been known as the 'Poor Man's Leather', or the 'Poor Man's Substitute for Lambskin'. Today, Nappa is cutting deep into the mass market and...

One feature about this jacket is that unlike our Indy jackets, this one is insulated and need I say, practical.

Aren't all Indy jackets practical?

inexpensive_jones

If you are interested in smoothing down the nap of the jacket, I'll bet a good rubdown with Pecard's might help! (Or it's generic counterpart!!!)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and might just do that at some point. Thanks for the compliments.

inexpensive_jones

Nice! I like the darker color. The finish it has I believe is called "brushed". My new jacket has a brushed finish and seems to feel just as you described.

inexpensive_jones

Thanks for all the kudos! The hat was given to me from a friend who bought it for just a couple bucks at a thrift store. It was a big old cowboy hat until I took off the band, made a block out of scrap lumber, re-blocked it, trimmed the brim and put on a ribbon $1 (natural distressing from spelunkin...

Back then I think they offered the style in a suede pigskin. I saw one years ago at the store but it wasn't even near my size.

Here's the back.

My under $100 IJ outfit, including: fedora, jacket, shirt, belt, pants and shoes.

I'll post a pic when I get a chance to take one. If there's one thing that would bother me about the jacket if I were trying to go for more screen accuracy, it's the finish. It has a brushed feel to it, which I personally like, but some of you may not. As far as how it fits me, it is a large and I a...

I really like this jacket! I've seen the same one sold for up to $349.00 but the smart shopper can find it for $144.97 from where I got it. I wonder if mine found its way to their outlet store by accident? I've looked it over twice and haven't found any flaws. Yes, there is that seam. I just found o...

I found this jacket at Sportsman's Guide Outlet. I've been stopping in there for the past 8 years every once in awhile and have bought close enough shirts and pants, but this time I found a jacket. They only had one and it happened to be my size. And here's the BEST part, it only cost me $57! By the...

I agree with Michaelson, get it fixed. You'll never regret it. Personally, I found that trying it myself brings a lot of it's own rewards. I've done a few myself and its great to know there's a piece of my workmanship in there. Ribbons are not too difficult to do and if you mess it up, you'd be send...

The ribbon seems a bit wide and lighter in color, I'm opting for Stetson.

inexpensive_jones

Cowboys?? I forget what they did in Brokeback Mountain....

Well I didn't see it, but it kind of proves the point, that maybe, just maybe, fedoras don't impress the ladies as much as they do other guys.
That's my wife's opinion, and I'm starting to believe her.

inexpensive_jones

Don't stone me for this, but I kind of agree with her. I don't wear my fedora when I want to appeal to the opposite sex. I don't think it does it for me, and that's not why I wear one. I wear one because I think it looks good, it keeps the sun out of my eyes and the rain off my head. But I don't thi...

It's a universal phenomenon. I had a 13 year old kid tell me Indy's hat had a leather band, not a ribbon. Like an idiot I tried to correct him. But he didn't want to be bothered with facts, his mind was made up. It seems you can't change people's perception with facts anymore. People today think tha...

inexpensive_jones

Yeah, show us the block!

Oh, and good job.

inexpensive_jones

Hats...why'd it have to be hats?

inexpensive_jones

I've had a total blast with my Stetson Temple, wearing it camping, in the rain, in the desert, and everywhere else. I've completely soaked it on at least 4 occasions. I bought it in 2005 I think, the felt is super soft, and never had the color run or the taper issue. Now I'm thinking they sent me so...

inexpensive_jones

Made my own hat block from the tutorial here on COW. Just used 2x8's I think. I should've taken a pick of just the block.

inexpensive_jones

Thanks.

inexpensive_jones

Definitely moth in the larvae stage, sometimes called weevils. Now you'll notice that 2 marks means you have at least 2 of these critters. The mark on the left is deeper than the right one, which means it was greater in size. Now if you're going to eliminate the problem, you should actually find the...

I guess I must be wearing my fedora a lot these past few years. The other day I walked out of the house with a baseball cap on, and when my 15 yr old saw me was taken aback. I asked him what was wrong, he said he wasn't used to seeing me in any hat but a fedora.

inexpensive_jones

The fluke isn't so much how the hat came into being, but how so many of us have responded to it!

inexpensive_jones

This is the official IJ outback. Well worth the $13.00 I paid for it and gave it to my son.

inexpensive_jones

Thanks Steve. Those help a ton.

Shame on you agent 5

inexpensive_jones

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

inexpensive_jones

I guess my title says it all. What have you got?

inexpensive_jones

hey, I like patchouli. But I'l do the febreze thing first. Rainforest...hmmm.

inexpensive_jones

What do you mean by eventually? Weeks, months, years?
I've waited a couple months so far, it's time to do something about it.
It's not overpowering by any means, just annoying to me.

inexpensive_jones

Thanks, I'll do that.

inexpensive_jones

After getting very wet, a hat of mine has developed a slight scent like that of a wet animal. I've had wool felts do this but this one is beaver. I thought of a dab of patchouli oil. Any other suggestions?

inexpensive_jones

My first choice before reading anything was the one in the middle. Would like to see it bashed though. Then I gravitated to the one on the right. I could tell it wasn't SA color, but it looks so sharp! Then when I read that the one on the left was the real thing, I thought, "Yeah, I like the wa...

inexpensive_jones

Wow that Penman looks fine!

I wish there was a regular AB in the mix but this is still a great selection.
Thanks for the pic.

inexpensive_jones

I've never personally seen a Christy's but I know a little something about saving money. I've bought inexpensive things that are quality and things that are not. The latter did not save me money. Pick the hat you want according to your needs and pay the price. You'll save a lot more in the end. If y...

Your mirror isn't one of those funhouse ones is it?
Seriously though, cheap mirrors do distort and Michael is right on.

Here's the real Indiana Jones leather fedora.

inexpensive_jones

That stock model has one ugly ribbon! Did they sew it at night with the lights off or what? And what does a stock poet sell for?

inexpensive_jones

Woe Michaelson, were you really talking to bink or are you hearing voices? And BTW I'm not sure if I want to know how much you've spent on fedoras. My wallet might go into cardiac arrest. OK tell me anyway.

Are we sure that hat is black?

I thought it was a navy blue.

Would I also be correct in saying that a homburg has a crown with a center dent but no pinch?

inexpensive_jones

Well that's my one for the day. Whew, that made me tired.

inexpensive_jones

Yeah, it's been discovered before, but I don't know how deeply it's been discussed. The deleted scene I believe includes a fight scene between Indy and the big guy who accompanied the Nazi (You see them together approaching the Zeppelin). The big guy is the same actor who played the soldier Indy fig...

My vote's gotta go with the CS. I never really liked the Raiders grey on the seaplane...even when it wasn't grey.

inexpensive_jones

I see a switch happening here. That's hat B!

Glad you like it, I definitely like it better with the new ribbon and some dirt.

You're talking the chukkas not the oxfords right?
Very nice.

...and yet you guys seem to have escaped pretty well.

Which has been a big plus for all of US.
