Interesting little view. I only saw about half of it before the player went kaput. I forgot that they had a place so local to me. I'm going to need mine resoled very soon, so it will be easier, and likely cheaper, than sending them out to San Francisco. My only comment on it is that for a "repo...

Thanks Steve

That fits you well! Wear away!

jedidentist

It's something that takes practice to figure out what works best for you. I used an online tutorial, but there's still an art to it. I used to wear one almost every day, but would probably have to look it back up again to figure it out.

jedidentist

I'd ask one of the repro guys like WP Glory or Magnoli.

jedidentist

It looked pretty cheaply built on close examination, but whatever. Hopefully it's not made out of lead or something bad.

jedidentist

I'll jump on board the 8' group as well. Although a 6' might be nice for combos, you'll grow into an 8'. Additionally, for costuming purposes, a 6' just isn't going to pass like an 8' will.

jedidentist

Talk about being a kid in a candy shop....

jedidentist

Go away for a couple of days and everyone freaks out. I thought this was a one time auction, thus the reason for asking that he post it. Didn't know that there were multiples. As for the light. That's pretty frickin' awesome! Yeah, it's not black, and yeah it doesn't have the pinstriping, but it's t...

jedidentist

I'm interested to see what you found. Can you at least post an auction link?

jedidentist

I've got an old Keppler hat that's tapered so much that I'm thinking of turning it into a TOD hat....but I've got to trim the brim first. Everything else shrunk down on it except for the brim.

jedidentist

Heck, I spent $1000 on a whip I never use...but that's how this hobby goes. You can't rationalize the cost of this stuff...just doesn't work that way. If you want a SA whip, and have the extra funds, then do it. Anything less will always bother you until you finally get one...especially given all th...

jedidentist

Love that show...wondered how long it would take people to post about this. Random note...went to college with Josh Radnor.

jedidentist

That's a great looking lid...thanks for sharing. I need to head on more adventures to "wear" mine some more. For now, I guess I'll just have to settle for mowing the lawn and chasing after the kids

jedidentist

Man, you need a tetanus shot to wear those!

jedidentist

I think you have to preface some of these cracks with the type of whip you're using. It's tougher for those of us slingin' 10 footers!

jedidentist

He's asking about the masks...not the bags. Honestly, I dunno. I guess I'd do what you've probably already done...keep checking E-bay for current and completed auctions. Typically the masks get sold with the bags, so it's tough to say what the mask alone would be. I'd venture that they'd be less tha...

I just ordered mine in dark brown. However, that was before I saw the "Indy Themed" idea

Um...maybe you can hold off making mine until I see what that one might look like?

jedidentist

It's amazing what a little ingenuity can do...well done!

jedidentist

Surely if you were to purchase one of the modern bags it would be rather easy to replace all the modern straps and buckles with the original style? Not unless you have a heavy duty sewing machine or a heck of a lot of time to hand punch and sew leather. The various alternatives have been posted and...

jedidentist

Nice addition to your site! I'll be ordering mine shortly. Any thoughts on offering a dark brown one?

jedidentist

It's a nice looking bag...certainly in the theme and style of the KOTCS bag, but more "reminiscent of" vs. "close enough". It's higher quality than the modern repros, and would certainly be more functional, but I wouldn't get it and call it my "Indy KOTCS bag".

jedidentist

I wouldn't even bother with the repro. Go for the real thing!

jedidentist

Definitely less likely to shrink at the dry cleaners than washing at home. Ask them...that's what they do for a living!

jedidentist

Finally watched my DVRed copy last night. Very nice...albeit too short. I definitely would like to see the whole thing minus the editing.

jedidentist

Another case of tapering here. Granted, I never really knew to store it upside down years ago, but I also never went through a downpour with it either.

jedidentist

I've got a S&W as well, and for the price, it's very nice.

What a bunch of BS! Unfortunately, this guy will probably never show his face here...but we'll keep a lookout!

jedidentist

I DVRed all of them and haven't made it to the Uncle Jack episodes yet...I'm watching one as I type. I'll look close when I get there.

jedidentist

Given the amount of time you've put into this, it comes as no surprise.

jedidentist

I've used various original VIIs and VIs for the past 6 years. The only one that wore out was because I had bleached it several times and re-dyed it and it killed the webbing.

Since I received mine a few weeks ago, that's definitely the case. I guess now all I have to look forward to is a full size Atari TOD game...

I had to make a double long oval block just for you, but going by your first pics, of the first hat, you certainly needed it! Roll down a couple of hills with the hat on, and it will even look better. Indy did not like new looking hats! :D Fedora Seriously? My head is that retarded that you needed ...

jedidentist

Looks nice! Like all of my gear...I'm just going for the "naturally aged" process. I pretty much use mine every day to lug my laptop to work in. You got a great result...even if you had a few heart attacks along the way

jedidentist

Sorry about the frickin' huge pics. I'm working right now on it, but Photobucket is being retarded. Yeah, the box has seen better days..and it even left a nice dent in the brim that I'm trying to work out.

jedidentist

Ohhh...so much better! Even though I'm roughly a 7 1/4, a normal long oval still wasn't narrow enough for my small build. Steve used a different block and took off some from the brim, and it's a much better fit. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/jedidentist/Indy/050640x480.jpg http://i3.photobuck...

I remade the hat for the guy who posted the roan sweated hat. It was too large, if I have my customers straight. I think that guy's name is Derek. I still use the roan sweats, but put them in the Raider fedoras. I do this because of the vintage HJs I have owned. They were sorta an antique roan colo...

I chose not to wait for the AB fairy...my Adventurebilt is being "rebuilt" as I type

jedidentist

Man, where are the marshmallows? I'd think your arm must be ready to fall off after all of that cracking!

jedidentist

Yeah...sorry about that crease. I was dealing with a dying camera battery and running back and forth and didn't get a chance to line it up so well.

jedidentist

Note: Edited post to clear up space...posted updated pics below. Lookee what showed up on my doorstep today...ordered August 5, 2007. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/jedidentist/Indy/04950.jpg Staff of Ra liner...I wasn't specific, but it's the one I wanted. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85...

On a completely different note...located on the wall near the entrance to the Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World:

jedidentist

Which is sort of why I offered to mod "The List". No commentary allowed, just the list when people ordered theirs and who's received theirs. Ideally, that would put an end to it.

jedidentist

That's about what I paid for mine about a year ago. I got the catalog the other day and they state that they have a 4-6 month wait list for their bullwhips, so they're selling.

jedidentist

As a follow-up, I just received an e-mail from Steve that my hat's going on the block in the next few days. Again, took a week for him to get to my e-mail (I think I read that he gets at least 100/day), but he gets to them.

jedidentist

I volunteered to keep the "list" but it created too many issues, so it's gone. To answer most questions: -don't e-mail him asking for updates...you'll get it when you get it, and it just keeps him from making hats -people post pics when they receive them...keep an eye out, and that can giv...

jedidentist

Interesting find! If you used a gift card and got it on the cheap...great job. However, for argument's sake, you can get a Wested for less.

jedidentist

That's a tough one. I honestly don't think you'll find the exact ones...short of finding another pack to scavenge. Which buckle sites have you checked out?

jedidentist

That is a nice job..certainly not that easy masking it off, for sure. Randy-There are many different makers of basically the same type of flashlight. Just keep checking E-bay for "vintage flashlight" and you'll find them. I'd say it'll run you $10-40, depending on what you find. Mine cost ...
