My guess is it's a custom early 2000's. The collar is extended out to the middle of the storm flap but is square, not rounded.

agent5

Of course. I would have been all over it soon after I realized I wasn't getting any response. That's just a lot of money to let go of, not to mention a killer jacket.

agent5

Castor, You sent an expensive item in for repair and it was basically stolen. How you think you had no rights to get it back has me stumped. It's theft. Not something to be looked on lightly or just shrug your shoulders at and wonder forever what happened. Just reading your post irked me. How people...

agent5

Looks great. I wish I would've kept my NH holster now for sentimental reasons.

agent5

Looks great. Crown size is perfect. So many gearheads have hats that are too tall.

agent5

What is the average cost now for a custom Wested Legacy after taxes and duties?

agent5

Many of the German uniforms were pieces together using different countries militaria. I believe some were from Belgium and some from France but I could be mistaken. It's been a while since I'd read about it. I know the shirts and trousers were sourced from different countries.

agent5

CitriStrip should remove it just fine.

agent5

After 20+ years of Indygear we're still seeing new and exciting stuff here. Hopefully this will give the murky history of the jacket some clarity after many years of speculative rumors. Thanks to Brandon for sharing some solid info and to those who are still at it after all this time. Brandon, is th...

The Solide buckles are from British mens trousers. Not sure if they were incorporated for military use, but they were primarily used on basic mens wear of the period.

agent5

I have the 403s, still going strong after 7+ years, just got them resoled by Alden. Wonderful job

Can I ask what the final cost was, shipping and all?

agent5

I see quite a few of these riding up in the front where they should drape down a bit.

agent5

Congrats, John. Well done and well deserved.

agent5

I just spoke to GMann and he confirmed to me what I already knew, that it did not have any of the characteristics of the Leonard jacket we see him wearing in the film or behind the scenes. I suppose pics are not necessary since I've already handled that jacket, unless others may be interested in see...

agent5

If so, I've tried it on and almost purchased it. It did not share the characteristics of the Leonard jacket we see him wearing.

agent5

So, it looks exactly like the one Leonard wore then? Exactly? Cuz it should have. Post up some pics.

agent5

The thing about the Expedition is it has ALWAYS been stated and known it was created from a screen used Raiders stunt jacket from the very beginning. It has never been said it was patterned from a 'hero' jacket. It is what it always HAS been. Then wouldn't the first Expeditions look like the jacket...

agent5

Oh SNAP! What up, Dawg? Old Skool Indy in da hood. :tup: What made you come up to the surface for some air at this particular time? Ironic that I was just reading over some old posts (yours mixed in of course) today in the Indyfan vaults. Absolutely astonishing how the attitudes and opinions of some...

agent5

They patch the slit from the inside and shoot the remaining scenes. It then makes its way back to the ranch after filming. This is the jacket that Tony Nowak was given to duplicate. I'm not understanding why if 10-12 jackets were made why they'd repair a ripped jacket used for an earlier stunt when...

agent5

No problem, guys.

Man, RC, you already cross-referenced the interview with another? Thats dedication.

agent5

http://filmjackets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2185 I got this interview four or five years ago with Mrs.Nadoolman-Landis and was fortunate enough that she had plenty of time. There is well over an hour of tape and a variety of questions were asked, starting with how she got into costume design, her e...

agent5

No, I don't just mean Nowak jackets...how many total indy jackets do you have by any and all vendors?

agent5

Crismans,
How many jackets total do you have?

agent5

Then I am a Highland Steer and not the least bit embarrased about it.

agent5

Tony is also Old Skool. Like I said, I see absolutely nothing at all wrong with removing your hat, I just think it was an unwritten rule for a different time that doesn't need to apply so much anymore.

agent5

You gotta take the hat off when you are inside. There is a very interesting old thread somewhere around here about the subject of hat ettiquette. You should check it out. I for one, think it's an absolutely rediculous and outdated practice. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone a fool for doing ...

agent5

I don't think that the color is the same as the AB Aldens. Plus, as mentioned, the AB boots are of a slightly different design than the current Aldens and some of the materials used to make them are also different than the current Aldens. Some people will be very happy with the new colored Aldens an...

agent5

Nice, Mark. Which thrift shop did you pick em up at...159th or the one in Crestwood?

agent5

Weird. There was a very recent post here somewhere where someone said they had just spoke to Tony and mentioned for whatever reason that there was no price increase and now it's gone. Then not a day later this thread pops up totally contradicting what was first said. Weird...

agent5

Graham at Optimo always said that you should roll your hat if you have to but never crease it tightly as it will damage the felt.

agent5

Ya just gotta love that dime store whip they use to sell such an expensive jacket.

agent5

OOOooooo...that's a BINGO!!!

agent5

I see nothing wrong with the accuracy of the color of the AB shirts. Marc put a lot into it and it shows. Many other vendors are happy with close-enough colors but Marc nailed it and thats what makes me so proud of him. He won't settle for second best if best is not available, and it usually is if y...

agent5

Haven't seen the calendar but I'd have to say that these were items not used in the film but gathered for the calendar shoot. All you need is to brouse this site for 10 minutes and you can find all the info on the bag so this wouldn't be a hard one to put together.

agent5

Here's his hat (looked at with my own eyes).

Sorry, but I had to. It was stupid and nobody else will probably get it, but I had to.

agent5

I bet his wallet has pulled him down a couple of inches over the years.

agent5

He's about 5'10".

My friend met him on "Fugitive" and this is where he put him as well. My buddy is 6'2" and he said that without any question Ford was shorter then he was and said he was around my height, which is 5'10".

agent5

There is just no way any man can wear that many hats at one time. Or can they...?

agent5

The headpiece is the one auctioned off by Profiles a couple of years ago, not screen used.

agent5

Your read on his being in shape (he was and still is) and the 'fits like a glove' was kind of a running joke. There was another joke involving a glove but it is too off-color for me to post. There was a measurement concern in the fit for the trousers and the shirt. Neither are intuitive or related ...

agent5

I've always thought any of the "fit like a glove" comments were all tongue in cheek. He needed something to say in all those interviews and this was one comment he made several times. Plus, it throws out the hint that he was in great shape indicating that Indy is back and in full form. I'm...

agent5

I kinda figured that Harrison didn't really know (and probably didn't care) about ALL that was going on. I knew he was actually there for the jacket fitting. I don't know about the sequels but Nadoolman told me that Ford was quite involved and cared quite a bit how the costume was to look for Raide...

agent5

Fancy is the last word I think of when wearing gear. Heck, if you called some members here fancy while they're wearing their gear you may get a fancy black eye.

agent5

Well, at least you have a good starting point. I'd have to say that whatever the measurements would be they'd be pretty close to whats on that page.

agent5

Look at your Making of Indy book at the page where Ford is in his American Graffiti costume. All of his measurements are there.

Save your cash ladies and gents and purchase your next or first Indy jacket from Tony, and you will never have to purchase another, they are that awesome!

Unless you're Han Jones.

agent5

Have any pics of your NH?

agent5

Just the tag and a few very minor upgrades to the cut and button placement. The tag in the shirt was changed because Noel no longer owned MBA and when he came back around 2005 or so he had to change the tags in the shirts to his own name.

agent5

Thanks, VP. Yes, it is most likely the WL 1130 which was the glove used. When I spoke to reps at WL they told me that they did indeed print their sizes on the outside of the gloves as seen in the film and I don't think (could be wrong) that Midwest ever did that. I was also told that way back when R...
