Hi David, Welcome to the site. None of the boots available are completely accurate for the first 3 Indy films. The AB Aldens are closest to being SA for the hero boots that Harrison wears in those films. In CS the hero boots seemed lighter in color to me. I read the boots they used for CS were actua...

Bullitt

All good and valid points on which I agree 100%. It does have a more period feel and I find them very comfortable and the best Indy boot on all fronts. I guess my post was more directed towards Marc and Stefan, if they are aware of the changes made, just in case someone will complain about them.

Bullitt

I recently received my new AB Aldens and I noticed that the liner is now made of leather like all the other Alden 405's and offspring as of late. I'm wondering if this is something that Alden pushed through, because the older AB Aldens seem to have the cotton duck lining. Does this make them less sc...

Hey Pyramid,
Great looking hat and jacket for that matter! In the pic with the Land Rover, your hat looks just like the YIJ hat. Even the ribbon, so I guess it must be the right size. Perhaps you could measure it. It should be 1 7/8 inches.

Bullitt

I'm very impressed with the skills of members like fedoraiders and Holt. The only thing that always bothered me on the Federation is the color never seems right. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I got my Henry. That color was spot on, in my eyes. The pics I have posted before and are a bit overl...

Bullitt

HJ did make 'em, but _ has already established that the only Australian model he has a receipt for came from David Morgan and it was an Akubra. Deb's statements don't seem to be consistent on these matters, so one should be critical.

Cheers

Has GL, SS, or HF purchased it yet? Anyone even know if Screenused still has it? Well if those guys don't know about it yet, tell 'em for me, and all I ask in return, after they buy it, are some shots of it open crowned taken at mid crown level from at least 4 feet away, front and side. Thanks! It'...

Bullitt

It's understandable if you've never been on a set. Harrison's under lighting and Martin is not. Check this pic, where both are in the same gear as above, but also under the shooting lights: http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu163/roninbd/grace.jpg I can see you make a valid point, that they would ...

Bullitt

Nope - That is Martin Grace in the background and the shooting is at Elstree... I understand, but the colors of his gear are off when compared to Harrison's. Which leads me to think that perhaps the other gear might have been generics as well. As you said the stuntmen only wore HJ's and perhaps als...

Bullitt

Also took the opportunity of the reply to confirm the stunt men's lids. "Yep they were using genrics unless the shot called for something better." Hmm, I remember in BTS footage and pics seeing people sorta dressed like Indy, but not quite right. Could their other attire also be generics?...

Bullitt

Wow, I just had to keep reading this thread from start to end. 8-[] It's way past my bedtime now (it's 3.30am in Holland atm), but it was all worth it. Thanks _, for bringing so much more pieces of the puzzle to the table. It must be weird asking the main players all these obscure questions. Kudos t...

Or if you wanna sport a SOC hat, you can always sit on it.

I think it looks more like the fold from shipping. That or Rudolf has a shark fin on his back. Awesome jacket, btw, Rudolf!

Bullitt

I recreated this same effect by using a rubberband. However, I'm convinced the bulging in the SOC hat came from the hot & sweaty Tunisian conditions. http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/8835/foto575.th.jpg http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/6296/foto585.th.jpg http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/5...

Hi Jason, as always your work is perfect. I'd give you a Crunch bar but alas this is COW and not the Ghostbusters fan site.

So you'll have to do with these:

I wish you the best of luck with your business!

Richard

Bullitt

Yeah, great bash, Clutters! It suits you very well. I like that your crown seems to have that little bit of taper that, to me, distinguishes the Raven Bar from the other hats.

Bullitt

My bad, RD, I missed that info. Screen caps WITH text is new to me. Sounds like a big task, though. I'm interested to see what you guys come up with.

Bullitt

I applaud the efforts you guys put in to this, but isn't it just easier to put the movie on, while bashing your hat. That's what I did and it gave me a much better idea of the proportions, because the image is moving instead of static. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of Indy pics, but I found I did...

Bullitt

knibs7, you look very familiar. Do you go to the sci fi shows up in the Plano/Richardson area? Nice AB by the way--the gear looks awesome! Maybe it's because he looks exactly like Ron Livingston from Band of Brothers. I'm sorry, Kyle, but it's scary. http://www.nndb.com/people/041/000028954/ron-liv...

Bullitt

Can't wait to see it, Steerpike!

Bullitt

That's awesome! Great pics. Are you planning on converting it or are you keeping it the classic car it is anyway?

Bullitt

Me likey! It looks very natural. Enjoy!

Bullitt

Then let's just say: "Case closed" on this one and redirect everyone that brings up this topic to this thread in the future.

Bullitt

Thanks _, that explains the different stories. Logically speaking, why would they even bother copying stuff from Peter when they've got access to the Lucas archives to begin with?

Bullitt

Yes, but since you stated it as a question, rhetorical or not, I thought I'd back you up. Except I couldn't be sure it was indeed Anto's and I'm too lazy to do a search.

But I'll admit, in hindsight, that my post didn't add anything to the discussion. D'oh!

Bullitt

I think what Steve is saying is that the AB is the only fedora exactly the same as the movie version, save for the liner. It's from the same blocks, it's the same felt, it's the same sweatband, etc. All the other hats out there just look like they could be movie hats, but they're not related, if tha...

Bullitt

I don't know the name of the company, but Western Costumes did outsource the shirt and pants.

Bullitt

I think I read it here on COW somewhere.

It might also have been that Wested supplied promo material or something. Anyway, Western Costumes indeed made the shirt and pants, so that's what your looking for. However, I don't think they sell to individuals.

Bullitt

Now THAT hat has character! It makes me glad I ordered my first custom AB from Steve in August, just before the price increase. I wonder if I'll have it in time for the premiere of Indy V, though.

Bullitt

Well said, Beaverlid!

Bullitt

I thought it said somewhere that they used a Wested shirt as reference.

Including the Penmans?

Bullitt

Well my first hat was a Fed III Deluxe and although I toyed with it sometime I never really got a good Raiders bash in it. Also the 6" crown was way too high and the color of both the felt and the ribbon never looked right to me. Then I got a Henry when they first came out about a year ago. I c...

Bullitt

I have to adjust my first guess. Initially I thought it was a Fed IV, but the ribbon stitching has me thinking it is indeed a Christy's. Either way it's a great looking hat!

Bullitt

From what I read the Uptowner is made from rabbit and the Henry is a 20% beaver blend. Also the Henry has the correct ribbon that only Marc, Steve and, I think, John use.

Bullitt

Fed IV? I also voted CS, because of the straight sides it has. Then if this hat ever becomes tapered, you could always make it into a LC.

Bullitt

Awesome!

Can't wait to get mine.

Isn't it mind boggling that Holt's asking us for advice?

I think he might be testing us.

Bullitt

I kinda see what you mean, Holt. I think it's because your crown is a bit too high in the back. Of course this totally depends on what look you're going for.

Bullitt

That's better.

Yeah, I'd say definately highten the front pinch some and try curling the brim upwards, by rolling it in your hands. However, your brim would be perfect if you're going for the bridge scene in Temple of Doom.

Bullitt

I'm not seeing them.

Bullitt

The pics are a bit dark, but I'd say you've got a pretty good Raven Bar going on. Only your front pinch seems a bit on the low side.

Bullitt

I really love the look from the front, but I'd like to see some shots from all sides.

Bullitt

I have a anothers questions, your hat, is it a Standard or Deluxe and is it's Federation 3 or IV. By curiosity, is it a 57cm. No this hat is the factorymade AdventureBilt Henry, size 56. However, my first hat was a Fed 3 deluxe, size 57. The crown height and the color always bothered me and I could...

Hello Richard! I Like your SOC hat very much, i like your all pictures but i love the second and third pictures. On the second picture your front pinch is perfect, i realy sur that your front pinch mesure 4 3/8 or 4 1/2 maximum, 4 3/8 or 4 1/2 it's the best height. Your brim is perfect too. On the ...

Ah, I knew it was an ammo pouch, but not THAT specific. Great job!

Bullitt

The bag is useful and iconic (not too ironic, if you ask me!) But here's my two cents: Look at the design drawings from the late 70's: You'll note that Indiana Jones (or Smith) is wearing a military style strap over his shoulder, but there's no bag. Seems to me that the strap preceded the bag as a ...

Also, based on the airial photo's (the ones with the fishing boats) and the modern pictures taken on the dock I'd say the mo...
