I vote seaplane/washington D.C!! My choice as well. We emmulated the look (somewhat) last year for the Hollywood Bowl performance of John Williams: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_CEXOziEVWtg/SqPY5re351I/AAAAAAAAAcg/b6k5kV9zs7E/s576/DSC00834.JPG http://lh5.ggpht.com/_CEXOziEVWtg/SqPYpoPvMzI/AAAAAAAAAb8/wH1gY...

I received mine a while back. He told me about the changes and I was pretty excited about getting the new product. I didn't say anything and figured I'd wait until he made his announcement.

I had to sell my first whip from Bernardo and I was spoiled after that. I had to have another one of his. Well, after a good wait I received my new whip from Bernardo today. It is a 10' 12plait whip. Bernardo made some adjustments to his existing Raiders whip to make it a bit more screen accurate, b...

I'm not real sure actually. These were WPG's test set that he sold me at a cheaper price. I do have a set of originals that I was wearing and I have say that the repro version is thicker material. He may have corrected this with the production model, but I'm not sure. VERY nice pants regardless. Wel...

That's the way I went. They are nice pants. Not pleated, but well made:

Follow the above thread, but you will probably need to look for a real one. They normally start in the 500-600 dollar range, but if you are lucky you find something cheaper. I got mine for $450 about 3 months ago from gunbroker. The actual Webley WG is going to be ALOT more expensive though. Search ...

I've been looking forward to Todd's pants for months. Indy's pants are baggy, but not that baggy. If you take them in a bit/add the pleats they should fit fine. Nice drape on the boots. Correct..these are too baggy, but that is because these are 2 inches too big for me. I got the test trousers he h...

BroadSword

WPG pants came. Now these are were the test model as Jerry explained it, so I don't what the differences would be between these and the production models. These are size 36 and I wear 33-34 so the fit is a bit baggy, but you get the picture: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_CEXOziEVWtg/Srq6FLaMU_I/AAAAAAAAAm4/...

FYI. I contacted Jerry Lee at WPG and asked if he had any reject or return repro "Pinks". He actually had the test pair still and let me buy those for $70. I have had a set of original pinks for the last year, but they've always been a bit short. I should be getting the repro WPG trousers ...

Nope, I was just looking for some opinions on what would be the better color. I ended up going with the carbon grey. I see some disagree, but my eyeballs told me the carbon was the closer color. Here we are at the Hollywood Bowl last Saturday: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_CEXOziEVWtg/SqPYpbrsRcI/AAAAAAAAAb...

Sorry if this covered else and if it is, please direct me. Can anyone tell me which grey is considered closest to what Indy wears at the end of Raiders?

Are you planning to wear the shirt pants all time? If not, don't mess with dry cleaning at all! INDY= Dirty and Beat Up!! If you completely soil your stuff I'd just cold wash and line dry.

Having placed an order last month, it's great to see that subsequent whips will benefit from this project. Fine work as always.

That was the first whip I bought. Not too horrible and handles ok. HUGE difference between one of those and the premier makers of course. The biggest difference I noted was the weight.

Will, good info. My dilema is that I have a mostly rough dirt, rocky backyard where I would be practicing most of the time. I had a nice DelCarpio roo-hide whip and I loved it, but had to sell.

Along the same lines.... Has anyone seen a butt swivel/lanyard ring for a Webley MKVI? I am in the process of buying a real one, but it needs correct grips and the butt swivel.

I like mine as well. I did take the sides in a bit, but I did that for my Todd's shirt too. Color is a hard thing to nail, but to me the WPG shirt looks totally Raiders.

It's a franchise that people expect to see the same stuff. He's known for his look. Would his gear have changed over the course of 20 some odd years...I'm sure it would have. Then it wouldn't be Indy.

If the whip is made with what is known as "550 Cord", then in theory is should support your weight. The intent of that type of cord was for parachute rigging and is specifically designed to hold cargo loads in place for air drops and for parachute lines. What it will do to your whip...have...

So I get a pair of pinks trousers from a friend of mine yesterday and I look to see if they have the pocket flaps. To my suprise, it only has one flap.

It's a hobby. Just like any other hobby people can get into it as much or as little as they please. Some are happy with close-enough in order to "get the feeling" and others want to be exactly screen accurate. Nothing wrong with either approach. Has nothing to do with dress parties or bein...

It was large...medium would have better for me, but the wife tailored the shirt in. I did do a side by side and the WPG is a little bit thicker, but not a whole alot in my opinion.

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 pl...

It sounds like the biggest hang up is the size. My wife is very good with her sewing machine so when mine arrives I'll have her take it in. She did that with my Todd's shirt as well. I'll have to wash a few times as well.

Great shirt...I do all my yardwork in it as well as my gloves. Best way to break them in. As a matter of fact I always do my yardwork in my Indy shirt and pants, then I get in the shower with all of it on. Keeps the stains but gets rid of the sweat and potential smell!
