Do they plan on releasing any other hide types? I purchased the vintage cowhide from them back in 2008 and the color was very orange.

Hey, all! I’m looking for an Indy bag with a modern interior to hold my sketchbook, journal, pens, pencils, etc. Do any vendors out there make such a version? I’m looking for somewhere that won’t take months to get it.

I’m thinking about ordering a TOD poet— which felt color would be more SA?

Great! The guy who helped me said Harrison visits whenever he is in the city. Customer service was excellent and they actually knew their Indy/Alden trivia.

You can give us a rough sketch of what you want and we'll take care of it. The main point is when providing laptop sizing, you need to tell us if you want the back layout to be stretched vertically or horizontally (or we could increase the entire back to a 12" square). What do you recommend re...

The back most pocket will fit up to about a 10" square. Any bigger than that and the entire bag has to be bigger, which changes the overall shape and accuracy of the satchel. We have offered a fully custom laptop bag version of the satchel, including padded interior, but the price is quite a b...

As a writer, the only thing missing is space for my MacBook. For covering cons like D23 I’d love something functional yet blends in with some light cosplay.

I too am curious. I thought they offered an LC version of the hat as well?

Just picked this up on eBay for $140 and gave it a go over with some distressing. It’s Wested Leather's discontinued "Antique Lambtouch" leather. Very warm undertones and nice thickness without being overly heavy. This looks more scree accurate than Wested’s current selection for their LC ...

I mainly wear my lids at Disneyland. We are annual pass holders and have a two-year-old so we go once a week and I've sometimes had to set my hat on the stroller to get on rides. To date, I've never had a hat stolen. I used to only take my FedIV for that very reason but then I realized we have these...

So is the LC Hero not based on the original pattern used for the films? What’s the story?

Quick update: it’s been rainy here so I took the boots out to walk around, no stretching or submerging, they’re already a perfect fit. Thanks, everyone!

How was that level of distressing achieved? Sandpaper, wire brush, nail polish remover, alcohol? I'm thinking about going with the Smithsonian look considering I went with a mild Scotchbrite method on my raiders hero.

I've had them on all day and they're starting to loosen even after just today so, I'm very happy with them. I might try to wet them a bit with warm water and set a stretcher inside for when they're not on my feet.

The LC buttons are indeed dark. And they are brass with a very dark brown finish on them. I have a few private close ups of the LC jacket that are not published on the internet somewhere. They show the button color perfectly and they are indeed very dark brown. Same with the Lining. Very dark brown...

Actually, it IS! I played the Last Crusade extended soundtrack from the IJ boxed set, and applied the finishing touches to the jacket by the middle of the end credits music. It's the perfect musical inspiration for your adventure in distressing! :TOH: P.S.- You can see more HD shots of the jacket a...

None whatsoever. Just the soft Scotchbrite pad. I've run the gamut of distressing techniques over the years, a prolonged apprenticeship which ultimately proved that less really is more. The same effect can be achieved at a minimum of effort, without destroying an expensive quality leather garment. ...

IndyFan89

I applied a mild version of the LC distressing which will be enhanced with natural wear from use. The jacket will look better with age, like my 10 year-old novapelle CS jacket. I used a soft, well-worn Scotchbrite pad to gently buff the surface off the leather with a minimal of damage. Novapelle ha...

Will be purchasing this exact jacket later this year after seeing your posts. Love the way the NP distresses and the overall tones of the jacket. It looks like it came straight from the set. Nice jacket!

What do you think is the best in-between novapelle and lamb? I live in California so too thick and I’m sweating, too light and I’m catching a cold. My Raiders Hero lamb is perfect for late 60’s and anything colder I’ve been wearing my Us Wings vintage cow.

Another tip that was shared years ago as a mild distressing/breaking in option is to sleep in and with the jacket. NOTE: your wife may seriously reconsider her gift to you! Sleeping in the jacket will help soften the leather and move it toward forming to your body. Or roll the jacket up in a ball, ...
