Those Chinos from LL Bean are not a good choice for Indy Pants. Go with wool Cavalry twill. You can read up on it here: https://dieworkwear.com/2018/12/15/better-than-wool-flannel-trousers/ Yeah not looking for "accurate" outside of the back pockets. I have accurate pants but they don't s...

Thanks for the answers guys! I might try out something like this to see how they feel: https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/63019?page=wrinkle-resistant-dress-chinos-natural-fit-hidden-comfort-pleated&bc=12-26-590-502921&feat=502921-GN3&csp=a&attrValue_0=Dark%20Khaki&gnrefine=1*COLOR_...

Hey all! As the title says - was wondering if there is anyone out there offering Indy pants with a less baggin' saggin' Barry cut. The high waist & droopy crotch that most seem to have is not the most flattering. I'd rather have something that fits a bit more like modern pants than the Fred Mert...

Full disclosure: it’s not specifically a Indiana Jones jacket, but a custom one.

Hey! So I've done the "hot shower trick" with my jackets in the past, but I just got a new cowhide jacket by Indy Magnoli and want to bring a bit of the grain out without having it shrink up on me like my Wested Lamb. - Should I wet it with warm water in small patches VS jumping in the sho...

mooniteman

It's mot too bad, but it's frayed to the point where if would have to be taken in several inches and I don't really want to loose any length on it.

Thanks for the advice - I may just get another of Gus's whips - maybe

After using the search function I can't seem to locate a thread on how the Todd's whips hold up: link: http://www.toddscostumes.com/product/358411/Indiana-Jones-Style-Bullwhip/ I'm thinking of getting the 8' for $99 - but how do these really hold up ? I had a Gus Caicedo whip for 3 years and it just...

Thought these might be some decent alternative gloves.

Alright kids - I've yet to see this discussed here.... Now in your pursuit of the PERFECT Indy coat have any of you ever attempted making your OWN custom Indy coat - that means buying the leather - making the pattern and sewing the puppy all by yourself? This is an adventure I'm very interested in. ...

mooniteman

I hate to bring up an older thread - but why and where the heck was that pic taken ????

So do I have this right? You cut the crown away from the brim, then cut the crown down shorter and glued/sewed everything back together? Yes sir ! And I understand that the original height may look better - but the longer the crown is the longer my face appears and that's the last thing I want. Che...

So A while ago I posted this: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=39735&p=561573#p561573 This is my BEFORE PICTURE: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h64/mooniteman/Photo28-1.jpg As you can see my Akubra was waaay too big for my slender face - SO I did some math - found with a sl...

Hey guys - so my father just saw Valkerie and is bugging me to find out what type of bag this is that Tom cruise carries - this was the best pic I could find for now. http://bp1.blogger.com/_ySwdbXiHQ-g/R4QW2c5qYxI/AAAAAAAAAEA/dopBHh-87qE/s400/cruise-valkyrie2.jpg I'm assuming its a german officer t...

F 'em all mate!

The bag is dang cool - Just dirty it up and **** it up - if any ones got anything to say - just give em an Indy grin and say thanks.

I guess I have 2 posts going on this hat now - lol - whoops and as I discovered 8% reduction seems to be the exact amount I need - in my other post I wrote this: So I posted in the "Too Big - Too Bad" topic below the woes of having a tiny head and what I should do about my too-big Akubra. ...

mooniteman

So I posted in the "Too Big - Too Bad" topic below the woes of having a tiny head and what I should do about my too-big Akubra. So I got to thinking about a custom and what it would take to make the hat look "right" for my tiny noggin. I had the idea of going into photoshop - tak...

mooniteman

hmm - link - i've been off the IndyGear forum for a while so I'm not up to date on new vendors.

mooniteman

So I got my Indy hat a year ago and it's a beautiful 7 1/8 Akubra Fed - I love everything about the color - the texture - the subtle shapes - its beautiful ! But I HATE the way it looks on my tiny little noggin. It just doesn't look right on my very - non- Harrison Ford proportioned head. So i've be...

mooniteman

So what's the next step - do we have to come up with a formula - like a marked picture of Indy to make our hats proportionate - anyone have some solid measurements we can apply to out own faces?

Moony

mooniteman

Alright - so this is something I've thought about quite often... When you buy a coat you get it made to your specs - not Harrison's When you buy Indy pants - you get it made to your specs... not Harrison's... So when you buy a hat... shouldn't we do the same ? Now now - before we all yell "Of c...

mooniteman

Okay guys I just got myself a very nice Dyna Felt Fedora in grey and the first day I wore it out it rained - now there are some rather ugly bumbs that have formed in the crown. So A) is there any way to smooth that out again - maybe with steam or something and B) is there an easy way to lightly weat...

Found this of me and my friend Tim at last years comic con..... Hilarious....

Moony

mooniteman

to put it simple - its beautifully constructed but my two main complaints are that the metal flying saucer looking thing on the side is terribley secured and really needs some reenforcement and the color is just totally not SA - that pic above is VERY misleading. but it's not bad though I like the W...

mooniteman

Its up for sale if anyone wants a crack at the dying of it! I don't really like this bag - I'm in love with the WPG one - it's just more my style.

mooniteman

Holt the lighting in my room is a bit weird along with the imac's camera - so there is a variety of things effecting the overall hue - but I can certainly see what you mean.

- AJ

mooniteman

I did dye the bag

mooniteman

Hey there guys, Now I wear my Indy bag every day - I used to have a WPG replica bag and just bought a Magnoli bag which I'm just flat out not happy with - the construction is indeed incredible but the color is terrible. SO - I was offered a very nice original unissued MKVII as a substitute - but I w...

mooniteman

WHERE DID YOU TAKE THAT ???????????

mooniteman

Honestly I take my bag with me everywhere - I don't even think about it - it really never crosses my mind to be embarrassed

-BUT if anyone ever has something not so nice to say about me and my MKVII I'll be sure to thank them for noticing me - where as they just blend in with the crowd.

mooniteman

No news yet - & I will surely post pics!

mooniteman

I'll admit t after reading all the posts I really want a steak...

but not horse...

And I love the beaver and rabbit pics above the fedora - hilarious!

mooniteman

Ha ha - you heartless, fedora wearing horse Eaters!

Honestly it doesn't faze me - but everytime I wore one of those Jackets I'd think of Mr. Ed

mooniteman

So heres an odd issue - I love leather - I have two tooling sides sitting next to me and about 10 leather Jackets BUT - when I first heard about the Horsehide Jackets - a little thing in my brain went - "Oh my God." Perhaps it's just me - but does anyone else feel that is up there with dog...

mooniteman

yeah they did make it sound like they made the Crystal Skull Jacket - very odd - you'd think they would have clarifies that since they're already so well respected.

mooniteman

I seem to remember Michaelson once saying he ripped a lambskin jacket when his seatbelt rubbed against it while buckling it.

- was his seat belt also a chainsaw....?

Thats like - "The treads on my tank fell off when I ran over that ladybug"

mooniteman

I love Lamb - it's really tough and no it really doesn't rip that easily - you'd have to endure a stab wound to get a cut into a lamb jacket.

I love Lamb and it just looks the best...

just me opinion.

I wasn't soo - bad - but I did write a wee list - gotta make sure I get the sliders and scalloped pockets!

God how they put up with us is amazing - I really commend them for dealing with our nuttiness on a daily basis.

Cheers to you wested!

mooniteman

how old are you? I thought the same thing then I got married and gained 15 pounds our first year of marriage. MOM couldn't cook wife could.

I'm 21 - and well lets say I got some time before I tie the knot - and heck - my mom doesn't know a spoon from a cake.

mooniteman

For that much money you coulda bought a TN and "got it right" the first time. 2 reasons why not - 1) I trust Wested - any fault in the first two is my own and not theirs - and they made the original which is what I want - and it actually took 4 (including my 2 Westeds - U.s Wings and the ...

mooniteman

My Jacket is being made as we speak - so what is the proper pocket size I should ask for then?

- AJ

mooniteman

6-weeks converted to Wested/Brittish time = 21 days Rolling Eyes

mooniteman

I'm so proud of my title -

And I just bought my 3rd and new custom wested - I'm hoping this is the one - the one that'll finally make me happy!

So how long do the custom Westeds take?

I feel like a kid before Christmas - I can't wait!

- AJ

mooniteman

Looks fantastic on ya mate - Love it!

mooniteman

looks great mate - now lets see it on!

Think comic book spiderman - lol

No beer belly - I'm really skinny - (think gymnast)

AJ, pop in the Raiders DVD and go to the Raven bar scene, when Indy and Marrion are standing at the bar. As she walkes over to the table, Indy turns and you get a great front view of the jacket.

Will do!

mooniteman

... no

mooniteman

Thanks guys!

mooniteman

Hey guys I want to send some references to Wested of how i want my Jacket to look so I need good reference pics on what Indy's Jacket looks like closed and how tight it would be - anyone got pics?

Thanks!
