I think the rest of the outfit, sans jacket, works in hot weather. WOOL pants?? :D Wool is a terrific outdoor fabric even in summer if the weight is right. It has been a traditional woodsmen fabric for ages. Its popularity has wained somewhat in recent decades as nylon outperforms it across the boa...

I grew up raising cows. On the rare occasions that they cared to speak, many of them commented that being turned into fashionable leather goods was the fulfillment of a higher calling of sorts. It was something that many teenage cows aspire to but rarely achieve. The rest of the time they mostly jus...

With that money you could buy a wested. True, I was simply making the observation that this is an Indy style shirt made of linen, an outstanding hot weather fabric. I have read more than one comment that "authentic" Indy shirts are hot, don't breathe, don't wrinkle enough, aren't slim cut...

A true hot weather close enough

Here is another close enough. IMHO this is what Indy would have really worn in Cairo. This one is even cut slim! http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=706&Product_Id=1331627&Parent_Id=202&default_color=Cream For real life I am a huge linen fa...

These are my current adventure boots. They are probably too stiff for most people not carrying a heavy load and they have a stiff rubber rand that will KILL your feet if they do not fit properly. All in all they serve my purposes well. http://www.lowaboots.com/images/productgfx/2116715599_l.jpg http...

I spoke to Orvis and was told that these pants are a seasonal item and should return in the fall. I found out about a month ago, as these were to be my first Indy Gear purchase.

Saw this last night at Sears. Would be great for those in warmer climes or those just wanting an Indy inspired shirt for summer outdoor adventures. http://tinyurl.com/3xn9so http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_041S0746000P?vName=Clothing&cName=Men%27s&sName=Casual+Shirts&filter=Bran...

Good points on the editing gaff. I agree it was probably just a mistake. I do love that Indy carries a backup and I believe that to be intentional. :)

So I just happened to see the movie again and ponder this question. To me, the two guns in the bar scene makes perfect sense. He starts out with his trusty revolver in his left hand (having just used his whip to save Marion's face) The gunfight starts with him shooting one of his six; during the mel...

I think by bath 4 or 5 I finally saw it lightening up. Some material is just built too dang tough. If you really want to lighten it, keep on going. This is good information as the LL Bean is a great shirt, but way to dark. After a 30 Min wash with Rit, mine was lighter but it was only a slight impr...

I tried this last night on my LL bean khaki shirt. I used two packs of color remover, 30 minutes in the washer. The shirt is a little lighter. I will try two more baths before I give up.
