The sleeves are shorter than I'd prefer, only 24", but the shoulders are wide for a size 40 (7.5 inches from collar to shoulder), meaning the sleeves end where they should anyway. Was the prototype meant to be a 1:1 copy of the NH jacket? If so, did the previous owner mention whether they had ...

Inbanana

Thanks! My first guess was that it was a Christy´s (shows how much I know

). Henry eh? I may have to check one of those out...

Here some new pictures of the jacket being worn. Please excuse the close-enough shirt and pants, I´ve been in quite a hurry ;) Hopefully I can take some nice pictures in full gear someday. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u202/thehashband07/newshots1s.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u202/t...

I think they were made by cooper, not sure, along with a "Last Crusade" safari shirt around the same time...

Inbanana

Does anyone have any photos of the cotton pepsi promo jackets they made in '89? I haven't seen them in 20 years and sometimes forget that I even had a couple of them. I'd be interested if they looked anything like the leather jackets.

Inbanana

Nah, I bought it when they first came out (almost a couple of years ago I think)... but I haven't worn it much. I think Halloween last year was the first time that I wore it, then maybe a few more times in the spring, and then again just recently... I'll probably just end up taking to a tailor local...

Inbanana

Well, I was putting my shoes on to head out the door today... when I heard a "POP". Just got back and looked everything over quickly and I noticed that the lining had split open at the shoulder... and I also just now noticed that the stitching is coming apart at the pocket corners. Its not...

Inbanana

Hey- I was the one that distressed that jacket #-o :lol: I've seen your ToD... I think you can do a better job than that! Anyways, the kurtz jacket is still pretty interesting, especially for some of the "Raiders" features it seems to have. I don't think I've seen straps done like that be...

Is it possible to tan goat the same way as n/p?

Inbanana

I thought cow had the more pebbly texture compared to goat or lamb... for example if you look at nephilo's pic of his three jackets: (Novapelle/Washed Goat/Authentic Lamb): http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/thumbs/3a3m-6d.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/thumbs/3a3m-6e.jpg ...the textur...

I was wondering if Wings scaled their pockets to size, good to know. Is it the same with their other jackets... like an A-2 for example? I have to back up jacksdad and say that their A-2 pockets are smaller than their Indy pockets. However, I don't know if they scale the pockets to jacket size. I d...

Note: Peter's current stock of Shrunk Lamb is not a merino so it's pretty smooth.

Does anyone know if any of the hats in the first two movies had liners... also is this the same hat that Screenused sold...?

Inbanana

Huh... its almost a mixture of both isn't it? At first I thought that it looked like the LC hat in this pic: http://www.theraider.net/films/crusade/gallery/makingof/mo_81.jpg ...and all that was missing was the tighter pinch on top, but as was pointed out, the brim looks narrower in the LC pic. Hmm,...

Inbanana

Thanks for the post, I've been wanting to replace the lining with the stitched writing for some time now... good to know it was a pretty simple process.

Inbanana

I'm not really a whip person, but that is one beautiful whip... What type of leather is the jacket, shrunken lamb?

Inbanana

You're right, I don't know whats gotten into me tonight... too much sake I guess (and I don't really drink... maybe thats the problem). I mean, I don't know Peter from Nowak or Hack from Magnoli, etc., etc... I have a Todds Raiders, TN CS, Wested ToD, and there's things that I like about all of them...

Inbanana

Only noticed one? Hmm... might be time to invest in a pair of these:

Inbanana

It can't be shrunken lamb... for one its only $300...

Inbanana

Thanks for the review, I picked up a Christy's while waiting for an AB and have been pretty happy with it, especially the floppiness and color of the felt... which actually I was beginning to worry was a shade too dark, but looking at your comparison photos with the flash on, I'm not too worried abo...

Another close enough ToD bag?

Inbanana

Back when I ordered my TN CS, it was my understanding that his standard offering was the closest you could get to the jacket Ford wore in the movie. However since then, I think that I've heard that he can make an exact copy of the hero jacket if asked (except in you size/dimensions of course... but ...

Inbanana

That's the jacket of a grave robber... hopefully mine will get here soon.

Inbanana

glad that its not only me that sees it.. I have been looking after so many X's lately in the film...I think I'd soon had end up with ''X-ray vision''( I know..bad humor...) I know what you mean... I've always been a little skeptical about the x-box, but I think I'm starting to see them too: http://...

I think I must have just got mine in before they ran out... went with authentic brown lamb, although washed goat was a close second choice...

Inbanana

The NH jacket was said to have some kind of nylon lining... and I think Wested has some similar material... but I'm not sure. Since I don't plan on using the jacket for a summer vacation in Sri Lanka, I'm going to try and go with the nylon if they have it...

Inbanana

This is why I prefer replica bags... and try to avoid surplus in general (unless... possibly, that its actually in unissued condition). I know its weird, and that there's a certain appeal to being able to obtain items just like the ones used in the movies... its just that I kind of would rather know...

Inbanana

Nice drape...

Inbanana

I'm thinking of ordering one of these... how is the strap attached? Is it possible to reverse it so the buckle is facing the right direction?

Inbanana

I'm just kidding, actually I have the reverse problem... I suddenly started wearing hats a lot more after my hair began to thin...

Inbanana

Inbanana

Thanks... part of me really wants to try this and the other part just wants to go the natural distressing route... Wish I could afford two just to have one to experiment with...

Inbanana

How did you get that effect? ...just sandpaper? Its starting to look like the NH jacket... I like it. Will you use pecards or aviod it since it will darken up the jacket?

Inbanana

I've always thought the novapelle photographed nicely... still trying to decide between this and the washed goat for a ToD (...or unless Peter has some interesting lambskin in the works).

Inbanana

Is this the darker version of the novapelle, or the lighter colored version...?

Inbanana

Ah... thanks. Hmm... I don't see the adventurer in wool, but then again their wool hats don't seem to be really that much cheaper... I may have to go with the fur felt anyway... either that or a DP.

Inbanana

Does anyone know where to get the wool version besides themovieshop.com? I'm trying to put some gear together on a budget for Halloween... and since I already have an AB on order... I'd kinda rather not spend more than $100 (with shipping) on a hat at this time...

Inbanana

Is that one of Pepsi's Last Crusade promotional jackets? I won a couple of their denim/canvas versions (which I think were Coopers) from their contest in '89... I think there was also a leather version that you could win that was similar to the one in the picture...

Inbanana

If I'm not mistaken... 80s cut only refers to the slimmer style of Raiders jackets (as opposed to the standard), and is probably more SA (for a Raiders jacket). I think the LC/CS jackets are based on the cut of the archive jacket, which is a different pattern... And, hopefully the ToD jackets cut wi...

Inbanana

Nice find. (I like how in one picture they're handling everything all carefully with museum gloves... and then in the next, the guy just sticks the hat on his greasy noggin...)

Inbanana

The jacket is Brown. It's just that under some lighting it tends to have a olive greenish look to it. That's all. Its kind of ironic that before finding this and other indy gear sites, I always used to think that the jacket in the movies had a gray/olive undertone to the brown in certain scenes/lig...

Inbanana

If you go up and do a search for "Kurtz" you'll get a few threads on it. I'm not sure what the story is on that jacket, but it doesn't look like a screen used jacket to me(though, there is a Bermans & Nathans label on it). Still, I think it sold at a Profiles in History auction a few y...

Inbanana

The only thing I can tell about the length is that is back of the jacket looks like it totally covers the pocket flaps of the pants in most of the scenes where Indy is standing upright, but when he raises his arms to hug Willie (bottom right), you can see the flap poke out from the bottom... http://...

Inbanana

This may just be nitpicking... but when I compare pictures from the U.S. Wings website to screen grabs from Temple of Doom... there's a few things that jump out at me: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x70/Inbanana/wings_vs_tod_plain.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x70/Inbanana/wings_vs_tod_...

Inbanana

Looks good... for a ToD hat.

Inbanana

Is the side seam meant to look that way? On the Wested's they are strong overlapping seams like those on the shoulders - here they are different. It does look like a smashing jacket, however. I'm seeing the same thing... plus, something seems a little off about the collar/collar stand configuration...
