Castor, thanks for that additional information! It definitely clarifies.

Thanks!

What Frost River is citing is the Lanham Act: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/lanham_act#:~:text=The%20Act%20provides%20for%20a,mark%20is%20likely%20to%20occur.

I just realized another reason why Frost River is likely a bit prickly: they sell their own version of Indy’s gas mask bag…but (of course) without coming out and claiming an affiliation:

I’m still stuck on Frost River’s assertion that a studio has to “ask permission” to use a product in a film. LOL. The interest runs the other way: companies PAY for studios to use their product in their films; the studios don’t ask permission. And it’s a “trademark violation” to remove the branding?...

Hi Tony!!! :D What up with suddenly posting, just like you've been here all along, when we haven't seen you for months!?!?!? :o :lol: Great to see you back, and hope all is well with you and yours!

Wow! You ordered it on the 10th and had it on the 12th??

That's fantastic!

Beautiful jacket, too!

I was once at a conference in the Bahamas where, on the last day, we had a costume ball where everyone was supposed to come as their favorite adventurer. Needless to say there were quite a few Indiana Jones. As far as I could tell, I was the only one there wearing actual gear from the original vendo...

TonyRush

Do you ever have people comment on how "tall" your hat is? I have an AB Deluxe which I love. It's just fantastic and I can't recommend Marc's work more highly. So, it's no reflection at all on AdventureBilt because we all WANT a screen-accurate hat......but I think the average person today...

TonyRush

I can't believe I need to order again!!!.. I ordered 4 pair last time, and in the past two weeks, one lace on each of three different pair of Alden or AB Aldens has broken on me, one time at work with no spare pair around. I guess I'll have to start carrying a pair of laces around. I just don't tru...

The tongue on my Alden's slip only on the right boot. Word of warning: When I first got them, I didn't know that Alden's do this....so I kept reaching down and tugging the tongue back to the middle.Within a couple of weeks, the tongue started coming unstitched all the way down at the bottom where it...

While back in the target parking lot a guy approached me while he was talking on the phone. To person on the other end: "Let me ask this gentleman, he's got a cowboy hat on." He then proceeded to ask me (this is in Durham, between Raleigh and Chapel Hill) how far it was to Winston-Salem, ...

TonyRush

Makes you want to scream don't it? Slightly offtopic but a similar comment. At a costume ball, I was wearing my gear and another guy was dressed as "Indy" as well but not with authentic gear. He said, "Your jacket has the same problem mine has." "Really, what's that?" ...

A friend sent me this link today:

Looks like a more authentic color than I got when I bought mine directly from Alden a couple of years ago.

Anyone here tried a pair through J. Crew?

Tony

TonyRush

Michael, WOW! The jacket is great and it looks great on you....but thanks, too, for sharing the story behind it! I appreciate your contributions on this forum -- they've assisted me greatly and I somehow suspect I'll be going back to Tony Nowak sooner than expected to get another jacket! :) BTW, I'v...

TonyRush

She actually got it at a local costume shop here in Dothan, AL called "Out On A Whim".

It's an officially licensed Star Trek costume, though, so I imagine there are a lot of places online that also carry it.

I hope that assists!

Actually Pate wasn't in costume and had only popped in to eat dinner with us and was heading back to the hotel room. But, when he got there he wished he'd chosen a costume. So he went down to the hotel sundries shop, bought a baseball cap and spent the rest of the evening looking at me and saying, &...

TonyRush

You jacket is really nice. Did you request more distressing? I didn't think the CS jacket was that distressed. Either way, I really like it!!! Forgot to answer this part. When I bought the jacket, I pretty much put myself in Tony's hands, so to speak. I didn't ask for anything "extra".......

TonyRush

Michael, thanks for the kind words. I don't know what was more fun: wearing the costume or actually tracking down and buying all the gear! It's been fun. :) The Star Trek officer is my wife, Jessica. We didn't have time to do a Marion costume so she went with her second choice. :) Here's a photo of ...

On the other thread, this was called "MOTB cardigan". What does MOTB stand for?

TonyRush

Sorry...MOTB stands for what?

TonyRush

Wade, thanks for a perspective I hadn't thought of. I've been hastily collecting scree-accurate gear like crazy for two weeks and I guess it just didn't occur to me that -- for this event -- it won't be the worst thing to show up with a pair of cotton khakis.

Thanks for the perspective.

After getting some WPG pants that I won't be able to wear to my costume event, I'm
looking for a pair of pants that I can get quickly.

What do you guys think of these from LL Bean?

I received the wool army trousers ("pinks") from What Price Glory today. What a great pair of pants. Heavy material, great quality, really nice pair of pants. But they're horribly undersized! LOL. I wear a 38-waist pant so I ordered a 38 pant....and received a 38 pant. But, unless these th...

I think I read it here on COW somewhere. :anxious: 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. They do, but it's $500 a shirt and...

Thanks Steve -- I had a nice note from Marc with some suggestions, too.

I appreciate you!

If you push it down, it doesn't want to snap back to it's original state? My hats sometime do that when they've hit something, but a little push and they always snap back :-k Regards, Geert No, it appears this is the default shape of the back of the hat. If you push it down, it just pops back up......

TonyRush

Actually I take great care to always sit it on a flat surface with the front of the brim hanging over the edge and the back touching nothing. So, sitting it on a flat surface won't seem to do anything to pull that back brim back down.

Any other thoughts?

TonyRush

That's weird. Here's a screenshot:

This'll be my first time having all the gear during Halloween.

But, I expect the parents of kids to like the costume more th...

TonyRush

lol -- true. I took this with my iPhone but you should be able to see clearly how the back of the hat is sloping upwards at too steep of an angle: http://www.me.com/ro/tonyrush/Galleries/100063/Fedora/web.jpg?ver=12545170200001 Compare that with the back of Harrison's hat here: http://screencast.com...

TonyRush

I have an AB Deluxe and I've noticed that the back of the brim has developed a more severe curve upwards than appears in the films. It's not just a matter of bending it back down...it's actually curving upwards. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the felt to relax a bit so it's not trying to ...

It looks like the original photo from Rab is no longer on his server. I went to his main site and it looks like he's out of the Indy gear hobby as he issold his entire costume as one lot on Ebay.

To be honest, it's been so long ago now that I don't remember. If I had any special requests about the hat, I don't remember. Evidently I did. Mine has a solid gold lining. Maybe that's it. ;) BTW, I didn't mean to hijack this thread with this sub-topic. I'm going to clean up some of these posts.

With the raw edge brim at 599 Euros, that still doesn't come out to over $1,000 USD. I agree 100%. You may have missed the statement I made above where I stated that the price when I bought mine was €798, not €599. At today's rates €798 is $1163. The exchange rates of April 2008 were a little more ...

TonyRush

I had no idea that the same hat had been priced over such a broad range of prices in the last 18 months.

It's a great hat, to be sure. I certainly feel that I've got far more value than I paid for.

That's interesting. Because, even if the price dropped after I bought mine, that's only €445 for a Deluxe. I wasn't aware that Marc had ever dropped his price below €599 which equates to $873.

You got a deal.

Tony

TonyRush

Since when did an ABDeluxe, even with shipping, come to $1,200.00? I know Marc raised his prices, but I didn't think they went up that much. Is this for multiple hats? No, that's accurate. I ordered my hat in April of 2008 and the price of an AB Deluxe was €798. The Euro was stronger against the do...

I don't think Steve has his new Raiders blocks in long oval yet, but I'm pretty sure all the other blocks, old Raiders and CS, do have long oval counterparts.

I've been looking for this suitcase/bag as well. I'm rather surprised that -- relatively speaking -- it's been one of the least-talked-about prop pieces from KotCS. I scratched my immediate "itch" for this bag by purchasing a smaller "doctor bag" to use as a carry-on on airline t...
