Ah, okay that makes sense. And Disney can't let them advertise it because of the Filson connection?

If that's the case, I definitely get the lawsuit.

I like that they're offering the bag sans the patch now.... even if it is temporary.

backstagejack

.......The 'without permission' stuff is just extra window dressing on FRs part. Disney used their product in a movie (not credited them) and awarded a promotional licence to a different company. Obviously that aint right, it's happened before in movies and it usually gets sorted out. So I definite...

The bullwhip is a tool first and foremost. I don't know of anyone that uses it as a weapon aside from fictional characters like Zorro or Indiana Jones. Unless you're Anthony Delongis, it has very little value as an actual weapon to the normal joe who would easily be tackled and/or shot when using it...

backstagejack

It's always good to call ahead and ask but a bullwhip is not usually a problem as it's not really considered a weapon in many if not all circles. It's always common sense of course, not to just start cracking it around folks. Personally, I would not however wear the holster, empty or not. Not in thi...

........ And the other thing to consider is that pre-production was in the middle of Covid. It may have been simpler to order a Wested size 42 and ship it to Ford and have a Disney tailor/designer meet him in Wyoming and chalk out the necessary adjustments etc, ship it back to the costume team and ...

In my experience, many people, specially men lie about their height, and all the artists lies about their height. It is a know fact that even John Wayne used to wear lifts inside his boots and that man was huge!!! IMHO I believe Noel Howard :lol: Well, here we are again. Noel Howard just like Debor...

Keep in mind a screen accurate ROTLA jacket sits off the shoulders in a way that some people find odd. Sometimes screen accurate isn't necessarily for everyone. But someone like Steel and Jones or even Kelso can modify something like that for you.

Maybe all Mags needs is someone to request a custom made one and then we'll all benefit?

But how no one has wanted one in all these years is mind boggling....

I don't think there's any pics of any original straps or belts, or much of a clue on sourcing. It's one of the reasons for years we thought the Raider's strap had grooves on the edges and after years of work and screen caps we finally figure out it didn't. (in DoD it does now lol) I know that some o...

Noel Howard was the original proprietor but he has passed. His gear is very coveted.

Since this sequence was shot near Ford’s ranch in Jackson Hole, WY, they’re once again probably Ford’s personal winter boots.

Yep, I recall his wait time went from a few months to a year and then with everything else that happened he just moved on. I haven't seen Dusty on anything for some time.

I could be wrong but I'm not sure he had a main hero.

Everything I heard is just that. Unaltered maybe 3" ( Swales told a few folks here that the brim was 3 1/8") brim that was just not taken care of at all during filming and then eventually for some reason worn backwards (maybe due to how bad a condition it was in) in episodes such as Peacoc...

I would change his gear up as time went on.... especially once we're in the 50s and 60s. With as much wear and tear that Indy puts his stuff through it's ridiculous too think this man in the late 50s is somehow still able to find essentially the exact same clothes he had in the 30s. That's when it b...

The only thing I can offer is having "inherited" hats that were worn by older relatives who passed away in the 1960s, the older "fishing" or "yard work" hats had a tight front pinch, while the current "church" hats did not. I assume from that, that the owners...

backstagejack

Yeah, I really like the way that it looks in Raiders, I'm just worried that even with my measurements it may not fit right. Do you think that this is a valid concern or should I just go for it? I'd see if you can get any thoughts from someone that owns a Hero. I personally do not see why they'd try...

backstagejack

I think a thin horsehide would also be your best bet if you want this to be your "only" jacket and last you forever. Having said that, I can also honestly say that I've never babied by Wested or Bill Kelso lambskin jackets and they also feel they will last a lifetime with no problems from...

Thanks for this! I was heavily considering a Wested Hero but was a bit put off by their almost insistence not to buy one for an everyday jacket, as the fit may not work well on everyone, especially someone like me who is short and skinny.

Yeah, Indy's shirt was always fairly trim, most definitely in Raiders.... I'd hazard to say that it was a looser fit in CS.

So if I'm reading that article correctly: ........ * Therefore, what this article from HJ is saying (again, if I'm reading it correctly) is that the Raiders Poet block was never lost because they never owned it in the first place. * However, by analyzing vintage Poets from the Raiders era (we presu...

Setting your hat crown down is really more of a western hat thing, so as not to distort the brim shaping. It's fine, even preferable, to put a soft felt hat like a fedora brim down to prevent distorting the crown. Realistically, you're probably ok to put a modern fedora crown down, there's more sti...

backstagejack

Funny. I just started watching Longmire (great show that takes place in Wyoming!) and noticed when not using a hat rack, they place their hats crown down and use the brims to put them on. The author makes pains to point this out in the novels and I know he was a consultant on the show. So this is p...

So not sure if this is a Fedora section or another section but figured this was a good start. We all know the rules.

Everyting i've read is they chopped away at the brim (with scissors no less?) because the lighting on the set made it too difficult to light Ford's face properly.

Regarding the filming hats, why does the one in the TOD cockpit scene look so different? It was on TV this evening in the U.K. and I was wondering. Is it just because the brim at the back is flipped down, unlike in the rest of the film? It's also fairly tapered isn't it? Wasn't there speculation th...

Well, yeah, it's a romantic notion that it's all the same hat. In reality, it's not out of the question that a man of that era had a style preference and a relationship with a hatter who made him the same model again as needed. Whether it's the same felt body or he gets new ones every so often neve...
