The finished case:

Gunbroker.com, about six years ago. Paid $850.

Inspired by this picture I found online, I built this presentation case for my WG: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3897/15237533881_65a2c3816a_z.jpg from a cast-off cigar box from the local tobacconist's and some scrap wood from my toolshed. I still need to paint it, line it with felt and perhaps add...

Forrest, I know what you're thinking. Why in the wide, wide, world of sports should I pay 500 clams for a pair of shoes? I said the same thing. I bit the bullet and got a pair and by the end of that day I didn't want to wear any other shoes. I now own four pairs. They ended my back problems.

Luke Warmwater

I found a cobbler not too far from me who sells and repairs orthopedic shoes and he fixed them up for about half the price of an Aldens restoration. My only complaint is that they look a little too nice for Indy's shoes. :lol: All that weathering- GONE. EXACT same thing happened to me. I sent them t...

Luke Warmwater

They're my second-oldest pair (of four) and I live in my Aldens. I have no other shoes. Two brown pair, two black pair. This pair was my adventure shoes and they took me to Europe and through the Sonoran Desert and countless other travels long and short. They've been restored more than once and look...

Luke Warmwater

I sent my 405s off for restoration and Alden sent them back with a note saying they were "unable to undergo the restoration process", that my restoration fee was "better put to use investing in new footwear." Yeah. At nearly $500 for a new pair, I call shenanigans. So now what? H...

Luke Warmwater

Several requests, so here are my formerly pumpkin orange 405s, now a nice brown:

$425 shoes beat to #### and dyed. Oh, the humanity.

Luke Warmwater

I did my own 405s with a $10 bottle of dark brown leather dye from my local shoe guy. It worked fine. So... You are encouraging a guy to take a $400+ pair of new shoes and go for it? :-s Another example of sound judgement... Yeah, I am. I've dyed two of my four pairs, one black, one dark brown and ...

Buy a cheap whip and you'll be disappointed. Save up and buy a good whip so you only have to buy one. Take it from me, who went from jerseyjoe (@#$%) to a Winrich IOAB (better) to a Stenhouse (Much better). I should have just bought the Stenhouse or equivalent at the get-go and I'd have saved money.

Do it outside and away from ignition sources. Wear a respirator of some sort.

Luke Warmwater

Edited.

Nothing gets by you.

Luke Warmwater

Problem resolved; check received. Sorry to hear about your health problems, Joe, but someone at your company needs to keep on top of things like this or people (like me) get the wrong impression. I am a satisified customer again. You look like Andy Garcia in those pics. ;) Not the first time I've he...

Luke Warmwater

No response to repeated emails. Messages not returned. I will not be buying from them again.

Luke Warmwater

So you were in DC and didn't bother to look me up? Yeah, what's up with that? I live 15 minutes from the DC store. Next time make an announcement; we'll go with you. I've bought five pairs from Kathleen and Joe, four for me, one for my wife and took a buddy down there to get a pair for him. Great p...

Luke Warmwater

Well, since Harrison Form himself is an aviator, it makes sense that he would wear such a jacket in the real world. (Not the acting world. ;) ) In the article that accompanies the photos, Ford eyerolls when the photographer brings out the jacket. "They always want the leather jacket," he ...

A good gunsmith (yes!) might be able to fabricate a new one for you.

Luke Warmwater

Well, I sent the hat back and..........

No check, no response to three follow-up emails.

I got one shipped to the US, I see no reason why they wouldn't ship to Poland.

Luke Warmwater

The newest crop of shoes seem to be running a bit large. I think a pair of US 9.5Gs should fit you okay, but I'll consult with the staff at the store. A 10D might fit you better. They also have a generous return policy. As long as you don't wear them outdoors, they'll exchange. As for the model numb...

Luke Warmwater

Since I usually go for the Last Crusade look, I always have the whip holder on my web belt and then put the pistol belt through it. I've never had a problem. I rather like the fact that it keeps the pistol belt from moving around too much. That's how I do it, too. Then you can take off the gunbelt ...

I decided to start a separate thread to avoid gumming up Indiana Joyce's thread. :) You might have heard we had a bit of weather here in the DC area. I had to work 40 of the last 48 hours. That's the problem with being in the public safety field. Fortunately, my area was spared any serious damage. I...

Luke Warmwater

Irish Jones: I live in DC where there is an Aldens store. If you want them, I'll go get them for you and ship them to you. All you have to do is pay the cost of the shoes. I'm 100% serious. You paypal me $425 and your shoe size and I swear I'll go get them for you and I'll even pay to ship them to y...

Luke Warmwater

The former. As a water rescue specialist, it's kind of my job to go in.

You chose wisely.

Luke Warmwater

Forget rain, my Fed4 has gone swimming in the Potomac River and the Baltic Sea and has fallen out of a canoe (and me with it) on a river in Estonia. It looks better for it.

Luke Warmwater

Great hi res shots.

Luke Warmwater

He said send it back and he'll pay for postage.

Luke Warmwater

I called my credit card company and it seems that they only charged me for one hat.

Now the dilemma begins....

I'll email Joe and see what he wants to do. Maybe he'll say, "Keep it."

Luke Warmwater

Back in May I ordered online from Peters Bros an Indy Straw hat. In mid-June, with no communication from them, I called to check on my order. The lady who answered the phone could not find my order and said they had been having problems with their online orders. I gave her the information for my ord...

Luke Warmwater

The belt pouch holds 2 magazines for the .45 pistol.

I think I'll put this look together for the QM this year.

Luke Warmwater

The only shoe I own. I have two pair in black (for work) and two in brown. One of the brown pair just spent 3 weeks hiking all over Estonia. I've never had a traction issue.

Luke Warmwater

Did your wife buy you a drink? You know, a drink?

Luke Warmwater

I read somewhere (making-of book perhaps) that he swam from the Bantu Wind to the U boat with his boots on.

Why does it have to be snakes?

Luke Warmwater

I believe the hat you are looking for is the Federation IV. It really is the workhorse of the Indy hat stable. It isn't the incredible hand made quality of a Penman or an Adventurebilt, but it's a darn good hat, looks excellent, feels great, and you won't be worried about whether or not you ruin it...

Luke Warmwater

I've never had a problem with traction and Aldens are the only shoe I wear.

Luke Warmwater

My family and I are traveling to my wife's ancestral land of Estonia on Sunday for a three week vacation/touring/family reunion/research-for-book trip. Already packed in my CS rucksack are my Wested pants and WPG shirt. Aldens will be on my feet, a Fed4 on my head, Wested on my back and Mk7 over my ...

... and I got them last week. They carry stock number 401. Very nice.

Luke Warmwater

Funny how the hat came back to him, just like Indy's did after the tank crash.

Luke Warmwater

I made the jrzjoe mistake. They create a vacuum (since the censor won't let me write the colloquialism). And blow. Simultanously. It's a costume whip that isn't even good enough for a costume. Spend more and get a real whip that you'll enjoy.

Luke Warmwater

East Coast folks can get the same fine service from the Washington DC store. Ask for Kathy or Joe. 202-347-2308. I've bought four pairs from them.

Luke Warmwater

A cloverleaf lighter advertised as the screen used prop is up on eBay right now for $5000. I figure someone here knows if it's the real-deal or not. The seller appears to be a purveyor of actual movie props. Thoughts?

Luke Warmwater

My 403s are a bit looser than my 405s. I think this is due to the loss of the fabric liners.
