Hey, I've got that model too! http://www.toddscostumes.com/images/special/enterprisesmall.jpg Here's a larger view if you're interested Enjoy your jacket! The more you wear it, the more you'll want to wear it. Soon, it will begin to poison your mind, and you'll end up petting it and calling it &quo...

lol yeah I've washed them all now my wife was quick to point out that there were dishes in the sink when I posted the pics on facebook.

Thanks guys. Yeah the jacket fits great. It really is a perfect fit for me. Lol yeah the Enterprise-D is up there.. it has an in-scale TOS Enterprise mounted on the stand underneath it. The Bombay Sapphire was good :lol: but I need to buy more. She liked the blue of the bottle as it matched (more or...

it feels good. I have a Wilsons ( not Indy obviously ) large that has slightly less room inside.

yessir.. I just took these pics a few minutes ago

My jacket arrived today. Size Large.. like I mentioned, I have a 44" chest and 34" waist 72.5" (or 72.75" on a good day) tall. Here are a couple of quick pics as it looks straight out of the box. and yes, I KNOW my hat is rubbish but it's just a stand-in.. I used to have a good o...

Glad to see those numbers :P I bought a jacket there over the weekend and the measurements page is nowhere to be found. I ordered a large. I'm about 6' 1/2" with a 44" chest and 34" waist. I hover in the 190s for weight. LOOKS like I got the right size but I suppose we'll find out :P ...

I removed the small pocket and added a larger one that can be used for a cel-phone calculator, whatever. I used a TI-30Xa for the pics... I know it's an OLD calculator but it works just fine ;) http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/Custom/P1010372.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/album...

Its actually about 4.5" wide now... Yeah I meant to have it deeper but I wasn't thinking. Wouldnt be TOO much trouble to remove / replace it. I might do that later if I'm feeling up to it. I'm in insomnia mode right now and who knows how long that will last. I could be up 3 more days or 3 more ...

(scratches head...) k.. I'm gonna take that statement back about the cel-phone. I had HOPED that it would work for that but after seeing this http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/Custom/P1010268.jpg I've changed my mind. Still it's a decent little pocket. http://i120.photobucket.com/...

Lemme see... IIRC it's 13.25" X 9.5" The rear pocket? divider? is 1.25" from the back. (on my normal sized one I just have it sewn right up against the back.) The front pocket is sewn right up against the front (same as I did on mine) I added a small pocket to the rear divider that co...

Those are great looking bags. I hadn't thought about splitting the rear pocket in the way you do (although it's probably more accurate than what I did on mine).
Like I said they look awesome.
BTW where do you get your O rings?
I have had trouble finding decent ones and yours look great.

Sorry I haven't posted back sooner. I ate some chinese food that REALLY disagreed with me. I'll tell you about it if you want to know but for now, I'll just post pictures :D Yesterday, I finally got around to sewing up the pattern I had made. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/Cust...

My wife calls it a "man Purse" but mainly because she knows that it annoys me...

I'm on it... I draw my patterns up in 1/4 scale but I can do them bigger if needed.
I'm making a prototype so you can see how it would look if the pattern is followed.
I'll post pics as I make progress.

lol its a part from an old broken cd player. It had the right look to it so I popped it apart, made a small incision in the fabric, and put it back together.
I sometimes make hardware lightsabers so I keep junk like that around for a little while.

ok, I got it done today. here are some pics.. Much like the child-sized one, it's not 100% accurate but its what I wanted/needed. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/P1010067.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/P1010068.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o17...

Thanks, last night I started on my full-sized bag. I'll probably finish it later today (or tomorrow depending on how I feel [and where my wife drags me]) Like the Child sized bag, it's not 100% SA, but it will be close enough (for my tastes). My intention is to have it be something that I would use ...

I dyed some cheap Khaki pants that I got at Target for $10.00. My wife wanted to go to JoAnn fabric and I saw Taupe Rit dye so I got it (they had a coupon for like $1.00 off of whatever you bought) so for something like $11.50 I ended up with some reasonably close pants (well reasonably close for ME...

OMG is the auto-censor on here THAT sensitive? I used a TAME word for defecation (or stuff in general) and it blurred it out. What is this? Mid 90's WGN ;) (they bleeped the same word on an episode of Highlander.) (BTW I'm not trying to stir up stuff [almost typed that word again ;) ] just thought i...

IndyJango.. awesome work :D I'll bet your girls love them. Tomorrow... well, later today I suppose, I'm taking the one I made to my nephew.. I never did get around to fixing the edges (got stuck in Evansville all weekend) but I used it to carry my toiletries and it worked QUITE well. I'll have to ta...

I'm not a vendor, just going to make a quick suggestion, you COULD make your own.. I made a smaller one for my nephew and I still have enough material left to make several more (in that size.. only a couple if normal sized) http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=31370 click the link to see how ...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. I'm DEFINITELY going to use the things I've learned on this one when I make mine :D As a quick FYI for anyone interested in making these.. I bought almost everything at Wal-Mart. The Fabric was $5.00 a yard (well, like $4.95). I got two yards to be on the safe...

:) thanks, I might have to do that. I sewed it entirely by hand.. my machine is about 350 miles west of me at the moment. Whenever it got too tough for hand sewing, I would use needle nose pliers to force and then pull the needle through :P Kind of a bogus way, but it gets the job done. ;) Yeash, I ...

Thanks for the responses.. I just finished it :D I'm off to bed so I can get to work in like 4 hours :P but here is how it looks.. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/P1000642.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Gear/P1000643.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o1...

I recently watched the Indy movies with my 6 year old nephew (his first time). He fell in love with the character instantly.. he wanted a costume and he especially wanted a whip.. I'm not going to give a functioning whip to a child that young.. well, not this one anyway as he has some anger issues. ...

I have a cousin who was always getting busted with those (saps) he referred to them as "slappers" or "slap-jacks".. once in a while he'd call them "blackjacks" Interesting weapons. (nice Keyfob. I saw one today at Target that reminded me of the "tail" piece on...

I might have to try that as well... the pants my wife got me today are probably the same kind. (she got them at Target.. )

(I was looking for info on dyeing them)

My wife snagged me a decent looking pair of pants tonight BUT they are "Khaki" in color.. I like them but I want to get the color right as well. Any suggestions as to what dye I should use?
(edit)
found another topic with the advice

I bought one today... I'm SERIOUSLY considering picking up another one to make it more accurate. Great tip
