They do realize that Indiana Jones was a archaeologist and not a pimp, right? Looks like something Kat Williams would wear.

jeremy3178

They were the pumpkin color. I was not very happy with the color at first but luckily as i wore them it got better and better, now after polishing them the color is looking much better.

jeremy3178

Yeah, I abused the #### out of them for 5 years then I got some Meltonian #11 medium brown. The color just keeps getting better, darkens them down really well.

jeremy3178

Well at least I know I should be more careful around door knobs now.

So what is the best looking and most durable in your opinion? Goat or Horse?

jeremy3178

Exactly what are you guys DOING in your jackets (or dare i ask)? My wings lamb is doing fine(minus the couple nail snags i got but they would happen regardless). Never treated, used in winter snow and rain, minor wear, had it for a year or so(if anything, the more use...the better it looks). I aske...

jeremy3178

I totally understand that Darth. I was just curious because I've had a Wested lambskin for 8 years and it hasn't come apart on me yet. I don't put it thru ####, but I'd say its been thru medium amounts of stress. I've worn it every day that weather has allowed. Trust me, I don't have money to throw ...

jeremy3178

What are you guys doing that you need a jacket that tough? You know you shouldn't try those stunts at home.

jeremy3178

Good luck....let us know how it turns out guys. Good or bad.

jeremy3178

That is some bad ### armor you got there. Very cool.

jeremy3178

Cool man, I like it.

jeremy3178

I hear you Viv, I looked for a real Indy jacket from the time I was 9 years old, I got mine when I was 21. So believe me I know how important your jacket is to you.

jeremy3178

It is hard to wait, I'll give you that. I'm telling you, I tried to wait. 8 flippin years and the thing looked just as new as it did the day i got it....save a few scratches. So, good luck with waiting. Another thing is if you distress it yourself you dont have to distress the #### out of it, just t...

jeremy3178

I was in the "natural distressing" camp, but after about 8 years I was tired of the glossy look on my jacket. It had a few knicks and scratches here and there but I finally took a bit of sandpaper to it to knock the shine off of it. I like the way it turned out.

jeremy3178

I beat the @#$% out of mine....crushed it, balled it up. It looks a lot better now, softens up the felt.

Go ahead and sit on it, it wont hurt it.

jeremy3178

Good point Satipo, I like to keep a low profile anyway. Besides if any of the guys I worked with saw me dressed in all my gear at a movie....I'd never in a million years hear the end of it.

I'll save it for the costume parties.

jeremy3178

I've worn my outfit to 2 showings of Raiders, and it was a hit both times. After the Atlanta show, a few groups of people wanted their picture taken with me, and in Macon, anyone dressed in costume took home some cool freebies (tee shirts and free movie passes). Thats cool man, I grew up in Columbu...

jeremy3178

The bag is a utility....if you NEED it wear it.....if you don't then leave it at home.

jeremy3178

Whore? Wow, I've got to start wearing my out more. Post some pics, lol.

jeremy3178

Is that what that is? I just did it to keep my Mom from slapping me. lol.

jeremy3178

I agree with those guys, let life distress them. I used to work outside all the time crawling in dirt, climbing phone poles, digging ditches....I wore my Alden's through all that, in all kinds of weather. They can take a beating, I've had them for 6 years or so and they look better now than they eve...

jeremy3178

You're supposed to take your hat off inside anyway.

jeremy3178

This all reminds me of the line from PCU- "you're wearing the shirt of the band that you're seeing— don't be that guy" I love that movie....and I agree, don't be that guy. Like Ob1al said, it's cool at cons and parties, but that's just us. Be sure you guys let us know how it goes with the...

jeremy3178

Had mine a year and it hasnt turned green, I havent worn it out in the weather, so I couldnt tell you about that.

jeremy3178

Knew that'd get me into trouble. #-o But i'll clarify. Since i'm an Aussie, I can only refer to Aussie rednecks, or 'Bogans', if you will. These folk often get their meager kicks out of shooting their mouths off long before the thoughts come (if at all). By the 'authority' of the Aussie bogan, my m...

jeremy3178

LOL, no doubt, Bruce. There were quite a few Bat Girls running around that night.....it was nice.

jeremy3178

Hey hey, easy on the "rednecks", some of them aren't so bad.

jeremy3178

That's 100 percent real dirt I got behind my parents house. lol. I think it had some old charcoal ash mixed in with it. Had the girl in the pics throw handfuls of it at me....which she seemed to enjoy too much.

jeremy3178

Negative....at most jacket and Alden's....cause thats what I always wear. I'd hate to have to miss the movie for beating a guy senseless over a hat. Besides, what's the point?

jeremy3178

Here are some pics of my PB. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/jeremy3178/th_DSC00996-1.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/jeremy3178/th_indycrop.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/jeremy3178/th_cropIndy.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/jeremy3178/th_DSC01948.jpg http://i1...

jeremy3178

Yeah Argo, I'll be the first to admit I don't sport all my gear around. I wear my jacket and my Aldens, that's about it. Other than that it's my trusty Red Sox cap, polo, and jeans.

jeremy3178

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Have you noticed what the kids are wearing these days? Goth kids with their eyeliner, green hair, and piercings in places I try to keep sharp objects away from. Wannabe Rappers with their pants around their knees, prison tats, and mouths full of shiny jewels. ...

jeremy3178

Yea, just a misunderstanding, I mixed wrist watches in with other types of shiny things. My bad.

What fun is it if you can't get everyone riled up at one point or another? If we all agreed all the time.....that would kinda ****.

jeremy3178

It's not a kilt it's a man-skirt. haha.

jeremy3178

It must be rough have 19 year old girls chasing you around....I don't know if I could handle that.

jeremy3178

I meant on campus with the pocket watch.

jeremy3178

Yeah, ol' Harry had his midlife crisis years ago...got himself a younger woman and a very pretty little earring. I can understand the younger woman....but me and John Wayne would like to snatch that little stud out of his ear and ask him what he was thinkin'. About the watch thing again, I don't thi...

jeremy3178

Ok ok, I'll give you the watches........can we agree that earrings and such should be reserved for women and pirates though?

jeremy3178

I'm actually ok with the pocket watch more than I am with the wrist watch. I admit it's because of my personal preference not to have anything on my hands like rings or watches. In my job you can lose body parts with that kind of stuff.

jeremy3178

I guess not. I guess I have to burn all my #### now.

jeremy3178

Sweet, complete with mini-umbrella pocket. Ready for anything aren't ya?

jeremy3178

I hate a watch or any other kind of jewelry...I'm glad Indy's gear is totally devoid of anything shiny, like watches, rings, or necklaces....it's just not very manly if you ask me.

jeremy3178

You guys can talk bad about the Wested lambskin all you like. I've had mine sine 2001 and it's still looking awesome.

People compliment me on it constantly.

jeremy3178

I always assumed the gun belt was supposed to be a tad loose, just by the way the holster side is lower than the left side. I could be wrong.

And yeah the tag in my pants says "dry clean only".....which *****.

jeremy3178

See there, all you guys who were worried about wearing a purse take heart....it could just as easily be a baby bag. :D I'm just teasing. That's what is great about wearing a bag is you can carry so much more stuff without having to do like guys normally have to do and load up your pockets. Especiall...

jeremy3178

Cool man, I was starting to think I was the only one with a PB hat. I really enjoy mine, had it for about 2 years. I have some pics around here somewhere.....Anyway, I think you'll be pleased with it.

jeremy3178

Sorry Frenchy, I missed your post. You were right.

jeremy3178

From one of the Thugee on the cliff....He whips one over the ledge and then grabs the other one from the guy laying on the ground. The scene is pretty poorly edited if you ask me. I've watched it 1000 times and it just looks funny to me, like something is missing. All I'm saying is there are 2 diffe...

jeremy3178

Ok, I just looked at that sword up for auction. That is clearly not the sword Indy used, it's totally different. The Thugee on the bridge used these, not the two guys Indy fought just before the bridge. Indy's sword looks thicker, not as long, and has a straighter blade. http://img192.imagevenue.com...

jeremy3178

Could they really be all that different though?

jeremy3178

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2420/2294957060_761998b1d5.jpg?v=1204065221 Are those boots Aldens or close enoughs? I only ask because of the color, when my Alden's were new they were the burnt orange color that was awful but as they have aged they have lightened up a lot. Just curious how you got t...
