Maybe it's just me, but the crown looks rather tapered for a Raiders hat.

Looks like fairly nice leather at least.

moses

Nice - is that lamb?

moses

In some of the behind the scenes footage, the hat seems darker and redder than in much of the movie. There's a shot of the hat and jacket laid out on the wing of the flying wing during fight rehearsals for example - or Harrison chatting with John Rhys Davies during the streets of Cairo shoot.

moses

Great - keep 'em coming!

moses

As the title says - just pics, just Indy whips!

I'll start us off - 10 footer in the snow. Dropped by Indy in Nepal, perhaps?

moses

The whips were from Glen Randall's own collection - so they had probably had all sorts of previous stunt use and abuse. In fact didn't Morgan state that although the whips used were of his making, he didn't make any specifically for the film - only for the subsequent films?

moses

That is one worn out looking whip!

moses

They all look very different - especially the collars

moses

How about a pic in a more natural pose? I'd be willing to bet the jacket looks a perfectly fine and nicely LC if you're not standing so robot-like

moses

To my eyes it's not the Raiders colour. I know behind the scenes pics show a lighter brown, but to me the jacket in the movie is dark - which is what i associate with Raiders. That jacket looks very nice, but it doesn't say Raiders to me.

Great jacket, but I also feel it looks too short. I know that's very disappointing - been there myself! But so much is right about the jacket that it would be a shame not to get it sorted and get the extra length. A hassle, but worth it in the long run.

moses

If you crop your pics before resizing, we can see more of the jacket and less of the backgound while sticking to the size rule.

moses

Those scuff marks look pretty drastic - or is it mud?

moses

I like the look of the regular lamb Hero, but to me the dark brown looks a bit too thin. Mostly in Raiders I don't think his jacket appears to be THAT thin.

moses

Cool! Very tempted by the predist myself

moses

Pics? All these threads with new jackets.. and then we never see them. It'S torture!

moses

Still no sun in Canada? What about some pics?

moses

Still no pics?

moses

Pretty much all the jackets in the Hero thread have that massive collar - as did mine.

Sounds like the BK doesn't share that feature, so all the more interested in pics!
All the best for the new job too!

moses

Maybe..very interested in seeing the collar on this new jacket though (back on topic

)

moses

Indy's collar doesn't appear as tall

moses

Well, to use Zoltar's own pics, this is the problem I had with my Hero - the collar made it look like I had no neck!

moses

Does it also have a collar as massive as the Wested Hero? I can't help finding that the Hero collar is too tall.

moses

Pics!

moses

It's not for me. My favourite jacket is from calf. It's an Italian jacket I picked up in Rome and it's veg-tanned. Not heavy like cow and not as thin and soft as lamb - hard to describe - fairly light weight but tough without feeling plasticy like goat. Wonderful grain too. I wish I could find an In...

moses

Congrats! $\:D/$

moses

Ah Ok - that's someting new to me!

moses

I've been sun tanning my JM 16-plait Indy, darkening the leather to match my vintage DM. I had Jeremy replace the original fall with a custom bridle leather fall by MakeItJones. Also pictured here is the Wested custom LC I bought from Zoltar, a vintage unissued Whiteley's bag w/ MIJ LC strap, and c...

moses

I really like that hat! Great colour and I love the floppy looking brim! Might have to get one!

moses

Very nice! Is it very heavy?

moses

I've been mulling over what leather and style for my next jacket and I'm seriously thinking about getting a standard off-the-peg Raiders, possibly in predistessed hide. I'm not such a fan of the Hero fit, having owned one, and I quite like a heavier leather than "fashion lamb". Anyone have...

moses

Ah, I see. Definitely interested in seeing the new SL. The previous batches haven't grabbed me - mostly due to the colour - but I like the idea of it, being veg-tanned.

moses

What's different about the new batch of SL compared to previous batches? Colour? Texture? weight??

moses

First game of the World Cup and with it, something new to talk about.... One of the small pleasures in life is to receive a brand new leather jacket in the mail! I mean, can I get a shout out?!! \:D/ A new batch of Shrunken Lambskin recently arrived at the Barn. Possibly Wested has never been close...

moses

Sounds like you would be happier with Wested's regular Raiders or LC pattern jacket.

moses

Still hoping to see some pics!

Look here, the jacket is brown, not dark brown:

No grooves on strap and light brown strap color too Shirt is also not so 'stone' in color as many of us think

Great pic!! Never seen that one before!!

moses

Try looking a little dirtier?

moses

So...I should order..predistressed..parrot???

moses

I think they have a pretty good turn around time these days. When I inquired, I was told 7-10 days. Still haven't settled on what to order though!!!!

moses

I quite fancied that one - far too short though unfortunately

I don't see why. He is 10cm taller than me. I had a 24" back and he is going for a 26" back. Seems Ok to me.

moses

This was 24 back and 25 sleeves if I remember correctly http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b562/mosesmaisie69/IMG_0536_zps8b15a9c0.jpg http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b562/mosesmaisie69/IMG_0538_zps87dc07dc.jpg http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b562/mosesmaisie69/IMG_0539_zps220f90ac.jpg

moses

Anyone inspected the strap that Wested now offers?

moses

For what it's worth, I'm 181cm and my last Hero jacket was 24" in the back, which was perfect on me.

moses

I have to admit the shrunk lamb looks great in terms of texture and body (leather weight), but I think the colour is way off for Raiders. I love the dark brown colour that Wested offers in lamb, but I think the lightweight leather is simply too thin and lacking in character. As dak goat doesn't seem...

moses

I like the look of the db lamb, but I keep thinking about how thin it is - thinner than ab lamb apparently. I wish there was a more robust option in the same colour.
