Oh my, that looks terrible, how could accept a jacket like that...just kidding looks fine,adds character, good luck with your jacket and enjoy. :) Maybe a barbed wire cut in the hide? wear it HARD, and long, and that spot will "age" faster ;-) { be sure to be dragged behind a truck IN DIR...

the only Hey Indy comment I have gotten was after an outdoor free showing of Raiders

Dostacos

new, heck the old ones are barely broken in

with the key ring you might be able to argue that it is a Kubaton

There! Fixed THAT problem. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/drjones/hr_Indiana_Jones_poster2.jpg In all seriousness, however, Drew Struzan is an incredible artist. I love all the work he's done for Indiana Jones in the past (and the dozens of other movies he's painted for), but even I must ad...

I got this as an early Christmas present this weekend. I was at Goody's, and noticed a jacket similar to Indy's that was on sale. Original price was $130, but I got it for $48. It has several non-accurate things (side-entry pockets, waistline, no straps), but for the price, I love it! It's made by ...

Dostacos

lost by parcel post OR claimed by customs for themselves??????

glad to hear you got the jacket and it looks good to me, but I don't have a wested so......

Dostacos

the bad news is they only have some of the wide sizes in black only

Dostacos

every time I think about getting a pair of close enoughs I see a picture of Aldens

and that is why I don't HAVE any boots

Dostacos

cannot wait for the new movie as it looks like he is carrying a stock 5inch barrel and it looks NEW. with little or no loss of bluing so [after selling off other guns

] I can get a new 1917 S&W $\:D/$ $\:D/$

Dostacos

old spice after shave [1938]

and Ipana toothpaste [1923]

a lot of work on that gun BUT it is looking good.

have you managed to cut your face with it yet? :whip: after all it cannot be a YOUNG indy whip without a little BLOOD on it right? all kidding aside, that is a beautiful whip. I prefer natural leather, still that is another beautiful whip. I wonder if others {besides whip makers and us buyers} can a...

I can't seem to find any information on that thing at all. It looks like a grey pin-striped double-breasted suit, but that's all I can tell by looking at it, it's a very short scene. Does anyone know anything more about it? I wear a suit to work everyday, but mine is the normal single breasted suit...

Dostacos

looks like a stock 5 inch barrel and the bag strap looks like a very old used brown strap that has been oiled more than once.

well those are terrible :roll: :mrgreen: why, you ask? because it is Christmas, they have my size, don't have it in the budget and it is a good price ](*,) Oh, and when they hit the heavy discount to move the last few, my size will be gone, but yes those are good looking close enoughs, I hope guys i...

some of the inserts have different softness in various areas of the foot, those can be uncomfortable. the silver liners have worked well for me and several of my patients, they are inexpensive so you won't loose much and the last time I bought some they were guaranteed for the life of the shoe :shoc...

Hey guys - I think I've read some Alden reviews here before that said people would be on their feet all day and not have their feet hurt. I would like to know how many of you guys here wear your Aldens all day and are on your feet? I spent Friday on my feet all day at work and then went to a theme ...

Let's not forget that Chrome-tanned leather is also alot more resistant to shrinking

Hello COW members. snip. My wife says “Are you watching Indy again?” and I say “Yes, but I am only looking at the hat this time.” so how did that work out for ya :rolling: if it worked I will try it too. \:D/ welcome, make sure you ask to get you a bed in the ICU that has internet access :wink:

Well Simon seems to have sourced a better fabric, but these are really on the 'budget' end of things. If you go again, try Endicotts. Real ones for about $35.

well if it is a 7 5/8s it looks terrible and you need to send it to me so I can properly dispose of it.

If it is NOT a 7 5/8s then it is a most beautiful hat

I think there is an AB thread in the Hats section, you should drop some pictures of your hat there too.

wear them, was them [washable or dry clean only?] and don't iron after the washing

if they are like any of the rockports I have ever worn, they will have very flexible soles [read COMFORTABLE but maybe not real long lasting, but you can re-sole them]
