mine also was from Singapore but it's measurements were 10"W by about 12" tall. With me being 5' 7" tall the strap fits me just right buckle and all . Yes, it's pleather and I would love a more SA bag just because. But, for the rapid need for a bag and the look it helps me pull off, I...

Don't sweat it, you've probably got the right size! ;) Even at 6'2", the bag fits me on the side in almost exactly the same way, just nearly covering my entire hip, and I have a 33" waist. soo.. even though the bag looks like a camera pouch, I'll stick with it. kind of thought it would be...

The bag was made with TARDIS technology.,.. it is bigger one the inside than the outside ....

I love the bag... I recently ordered one and am anxiously awaiting it, also. Mine I ordered specifically because it looked worn (no holes, just light in color) and used. I want to look like my equipment has been on many adventures with me. Again. Great bag! Scott

"Hi Michaelson. I never knew Ford was responsible for the Aldens. What's the story behind that? Adios, Satipo" In regards to the above quote, I met Peter Mayhew at a convention twice (2 separate years in a row). In talking with him, I found that Peter has ankle issues. He also told me that...

When I ordered they really were pushing the D-Rings... I even specifically asked what they RECOMMENDED and Gemma said D-Rings. Don't know why... they just did.

Here is a pic of the jacket actually ON me.

Well, I am not from the UK.. USA here.. I called using their phone number listed on their site and gave Gemma my credit card info right over the phone. They were very pleasant and my wait time was about half of what they quoted me which was 20 business days. The jacket was in my hands 11 days after ...

It's the thought that counts. I would love to help ya out if I thought I could.

I took my jacket by a local leather shop and they recommended a spray on product called Lexol even over Pecards. I have already ordered the Pecards but was wondering if anyone had any experience with Lexol. It sounds like it would be easier to apply and sounds like it would last longer (6 months per...

swright007

What they are saying is that it is a beautiful jacket and that it doesn't have that "Indy's been thru 10 adventures" look.. .Great coat... Do you use Pecards or anything to seal and protect your leather?

I have been studying the jacket just in case such questions came up since about 10:45 when the nice US Postlady showed up with my triple-bagged goody.

No, I sure didn't. Is that a good thing?

Chewie, All I asked for was a size 36 Temple jacket with 34 chest and 23.5" sleeves... The jacket was requested to be pre-distressed cowhide. I am noticing that the sleeve holes are very small but incredibly comfy. It is as tho Peter had read one of our Temple threads on "the perfect TOD&q...

I ordered it on the 19th and it was at my doorstep today. 9 working days and it was reported as being in the mail by Gemma, personally. I can't wait to provide pics as this Temple of Doom jacket appears to be way different than his normal pattern. It is WAY more "Raiderized" side vent. The...

No need for apologies. No offense was taken. Was just trying to help you get a better handle on where I am. but Yeah the process time on that coat was fabulous. I can honestly say that it is a challenge finding a jacket that properly fits a small guy 5' 7" tall 110 lbs jacket size 36. It is a G...

I am so happy that I remained home today as a beautiful triple bagged item showed up on my doorstep. My cowhide TOD jacket is so lovely and fits and feels like I have worn it for years. I find that it is far superior to just about any piece of clothing I have ever owned and rest assured I WILL be or...

Well... Officially 10 Business days into the wait and I am still very anxious. I just realized that I joined this site and ordered my first jacket one week and 3 days later.

ooo.. Would love to hear about the jacket and your alterations! Honestly, I mean no disrespect to Peter. I am sure he has a lot of regular and custom work to keep up with.. I, as well as many others here, consider ourselves very lucky to have his services. He obviously takes great pride and care in ...

swright007

Thank you Michaelson! I really appreciate your being able to identify with my confusion and helping me with that ... Since that changes the color of the jacket, would I need to apply in a circular motion or horizontal strokes or will I need to even worry about such things ? P.S. I really miss your A...

They must be having problems sending as well as receiving.. I called Friday morning to make a change on my jacket I ordered and Gemma told me my jacket shipped on Thursday.

Thank you for helping me understand. Doug, your OK I enjoy getting feedback good or bad or just visiting about the hobby. It is nice to know that others have owned brass and that it is a good sturdy zipper. I had noticed a tendency for folks to order with the silver zipper and I didn't know if it wa...

I tried to get Gemma to swap zippers early this morning but was informed that it was a little too late to be making a change as "your jacket was put in the post yesterday" :) Cool !!! Still haven't gotten the tracking email but as long as I know it is on the way, I can plan for it's arriva...

swright007

Is there a problem with the brass zipper? Does it not hold up or something ? It is what they recommended. If there is a reason you think I should ask that it be changed, please let me know.

swright007

Well 9 days wait down of the 21. Called Gemma early this morning and confirmed that I do have a metal zipper in it. It is brass, not a silver colored one but at least it is metal. It is official, I probably WILL watch Last Crusade however I was hoping just to watch just the first 2 movies till the j...

I keep hearing about Pecard's cream and using it to care for your jacket. I need to ask the experts what the best way for applying it to the jacket would be. I was thinking of using a washcloth and applying it that way but thought there might be a better way. Also, how often to you folks find you ha...

I ordered my TOD jacket with predistressed cowhide. Will the different type of leather yield a better result as far as a "distressed" appearance? Also, should I be pleased with these options?

swright007

Thanks Shane, That is really nice to hear someone really enjoying their coat. :) I am on day 5 now. 16 more workdays or less. I ordered mine with D-Rings. Did you get yours with D-Rings too? If so, do you have any problems or issues with them? In Christ, Scott

swright007

I wanted a leather that would take a lil abuse. I chose predistressed cowhide with the option of D-Rings for the side straps. I hear lamb is really difficult to keep from tearing, however they have a new style called lambstouch.. I haven't gotten much feedback on it, so I went with cowhide to be sur...

Wow, here it is day 3 of the big wait... Wow, there are a lot more days left..

swright007

Thank you for your hints and tips. I ordered my jacket at about 3:30 am this morning.. (wished I'd read more about the D-Rings) .... Thanks again.. Of the hints I couldn't afford to put into this jacket, I did make a list and they will be going into next year's purchase... Thank you very much. Scott...

Now begins MY wait for the jacket to arrive.

Thanks for all the help and advice. Being on a bit of a budget I encorporated as many hints as I could.

Yes, Eddie was hired to make Indy's hat for TOD. Their company has been in business for 75 years. Eddie started the company and even made the hats for the original Lone Ranger along with Star Trek, Gunsmoke, and others.

The hat is about 1 year old. The taper is easily adjustable as the hat is almost new. Thank you for your kind words.
