Very awesome. I always thought that every hat post the opening temple scene in Raiders had a really deep center crease. This looks spot on.

Falco09

Just received my Adventurebilt shirt and thought I'd post a quick review. The color is spot on Raiders (no yellow tint) and the fit is a lot like Todd's with slightly longer tails and sleeves. Kim Flugel from Adventurebilt was really easy to do business with and even included a KOTCS bag strap buckl...

Falco09

Wow! That was easy!

Falco09

How would I go about shortening a web belt? Would I just need a pair or pliers to bend back the metal where it connects to the buckle, snip the webbing shorter, and rebend?

Falco09

I was finally able to get a very SA color! What I did was..............................................ordered an Adventurebilt shirt. Anyone wanna buy a L size Todd's shirt?

Falco09

I just came across this screen cap and noticed the color similarity of the screen shirt to what my Todd's now looks like. Is Indy' s shirt really that tan in Raiders in some scenes or is it leaning toward a more yellow hue because of light reflecting off the idol? http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/...

Falco09

That really wouldn't be too horrible of a cheap jacket for a costume if it didn't have the IJ logo.

Falco09

Falco09, Did you by vchance take before pics? Can anyone post some of Todds shirt for comparison. I'd like to see your shirt in natural light. Indoors/mirror shots always affect how anything looks (mirrors especially because they have tinted backing.) I did, however when comparing the two pics ther...

Falco09

I'm 6 foot even and either a 40R or 42R and this is how todd's XL fits:

Falco09

Ok, tried the stovetop method several times. Here's a shot of the shirt with jacket and bag on to provide cotnrast. I'm pretty sure it has been lightened somewhat regardless of how it looks in the picture (I think the camera's balance tends to make it a taner hue in comparison to the dark leather of...

Falco09

Yeah I've just been using hot ( scalding to the touch) water in a bucket so perhaps I should try the pot simmer method.

Falco09

Agreed. The LLBeans do the same thing. They rinse out green during the entire process. Then when you clean rinse them they look almost the same. I got in the habit of tossing it in the dye remover whenever I was doing my original experiments. Anf after a few baths, I finally saw some difference. Th...

Falco09

Finally got around to tackling the redye job on Todd's shirt and I seem to have hit a snag. I put two packets of color remover in hot water in a bucket and submerged the shirt. It turned the shirt pink like its supposed to at first, however it didn't do much else after that. It's soaking as we speak...

Falco09

Anyone checked out the shirts on themovieshop.com under movie clothing? is this site just reselling other shirts that are on the market? And if so, whose shirts are these?

Falco09

What shirts are those on the movie shop site?

Falco09

Ok, my WPG shirt came yesterday but I didn't get to mess with it until 10 minutes ago on my lunch break. Out of the box, the shirt felt to be the same weight as my Todd's shirt. I ordered a medium for my 15.5" neck, 40 chest and 34 waist. Expecting it to be really big when I put it on, I was p...

Falco09

Here's my XL after a couple cold water showers. I still have some more distressing to do. Think I might try lightly sanding some areas. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/Falco09/indy6.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/Falco09/indy7.jpg Muuuuch more comfortable than the L and I'm a ...

Falco09

Here's a question for the die hard SA enthusiasts. In Raiders, which way do the side straps of the jacket face? Pointed towards the back or towards the front?

Falco09

Could somebody let me know who I would need to contact if I wanted one of Noel Howard's shirts?

Falco09

Just recieved the XL and it's......perfect. This thing feels like it was tailored for me. The chest and shoulders fit wonderfully, not tight and definitely not too loose. I thought the sleeves would be too long, but they're just right. I guess I should've originally followed what everyone says when ...

Best,

Haha I know, but unfortunately I recently trashed my digital camera and am stuck with my phone for now.

Falco09

Shirt and jacket are both Todd's.

Falco09

I've posted some of these pics of my complete gear in another section but wanted to include a shot here that shows off my hat. It's a wool felt Christy's Adventurer that has to be the cheapest SA hat out there. What do you guys think?

Falco09

Well, agreed, it LOOKS FANTASTIC....for still shots...but we know you have to move in the thing. :-k You say it feels a bit 'tight' in the shoulders. Can you bend, turn, and move around without it binding? If not, I'd go up a size, as unless you plan on just standing around and posing as a statue f...

Looks great to me. By the way, perfect hat! What kind is it?

The hat is actually a wool Christy's adventurer. I'm really happy with it after hours of tweaking, a brim snip, and a few applications of fuller's earth.

It's actually a wool Christy's adventurer that I've tweaked and beaten to ####.

Falco09

Here's me in full garb. Debating to exchange my Todd's Standard L for an XL. Feel free to weigh in on the matter.

Falco09

Just recieved my Todd's Standard size L. Here it is straight out of the box on with the rest of my gear. What do you guys think of the fit? It's pretty snug in the shoulders and upper arms, but I like the sleeve and overall length. Would an XL be a lot bigger? I plan on distressing this (read: getti...

Falco09

The grail knight cuts the bag's strap when he swings at Indy. You can see the bag on the ground shorty after.

Falco09

I just got an Email from Todd's, my jacket is on the way and should be here Monday the 15th. I'll take a snap shot of it right out of the box and another after I've worked on it. Say ... any body here ever soak their Todd's Standard down to get it to fit and achieve the wrinkles on the sleeves? How...

Falco09

Looks awesome! What all did you to do it?

Falco09

I just noticed on my bottle of fuller's earth I recieved from Todd's that it says to make sure not to ingest in any way or breath in the fuller's dust because it contains carcinogens. Is this something to be concerned about or is it because it's from California, and everything in California that con...

Falco09

Yes! Those are the original instructions I remember seeing. Thanks!

Falco09

I really enjoy the cut and fit of Todd's shirt but the color has always been too yellow for what I perceive Indy's shirt to be. I've been soaking the shirt in a bucket of cold water with some bleach mixed in for hours at a time in an attempt to lighten it, and the color has hardly budged. I think it...

Falco09

Finally got my pants back from the tailor. I know you can't see too much of them, but here's a shot of them on with Todd's shirt.

Falco09

Looks awesome! Great fit. Just ordered a large (I'm 6 foot, 175 lbs), hope it's going to be big enough.

Falco09

Sorry everyone, but I sent these back to the tailor after having the legs hemmed to have a little of the waist taken in. Pics will be coming.

Falco09

First I want to say that I can't believe how fast these arrived. Only took about 4-5 days to Chicago! I was completly surprised when they showed up on my doorstep. The pants themselves are awesome! Perfect color and material, look like they are right off Indy's waist from Raiders. I've had a couple ...

Falco09

I just use lots of tight clothes pinches on it to make the creases sit that tight. I let them stay on for 5 nigths.just so the felt gets really used to sit that tight in over a longer period...when I take them of the pinch and creases stay in that way. bests Holt Holt could you describe exactly whe...

Falco09

Man, both those shirts are a lot lighter in color than mine.

Falco09

Mind detailing for us the rest of your gear?

Falco09

Mind posting some pics smurf?

Falco09

Anybody placed an order for one of these yet? I'm thinking it's the perfect non functioning costume completer.

Falco09

Hey Gunk, how tall are you and what length strap is that?

Falco09

I belive Magnoli's original raider's strap (the one Holt has) is the most SA. However he doesn't seem to be offering it anymore.

Falco09

The brim flip is caused by the turn. To put it simply: if your hat ain't turned, your brim don't flip.

Falco09

Was gonna ask the same thing. Seems like a good deal, but would like to see a pic of one.

Falco09

Go for a Christy's adventurer wool. It's not fur, but a #### of lot more SA than a DP.

Falco09

Hmmm, so I guess that's a no go on the bleach. Maybe a dash of RIT color remover would lighten the shirt without ruining it?
