Hey everyone, thanks for all the compliments! Just got in form the wedding so we are doing the wind down thing. Though I would answer what I could. The Sweatband is the vented kind - I'll take pics when i get back in town - and yeas the stitches on the ribbon are noticeable on the hat itself, but on...

Terrasolo

Only had time to take these few pics here because I get married on Sunday so time is a bit tight. However as I was excited to get it I thought I would find the time to share. No pics of it in it's natural habitat (my head) as I had to take the pics myself and they really didn't come out too well. It...

Terrasolo

Well as Steve said all the hats had ribbons, but maybe this one got removed during filming. While on set a lot of things happen in movies on the fly for reasons that don't normally get discussed because they were just needed at one moment and not as part of a major grand scheme. It's possible that t...

Terrasolo

Perfect. Thanks for that. It never really occurred to me before until I read some posts on here. I love this jacket and want to look after it properly.

Thanks again!

Terrasolo

Ok here's my situation. I have a house made in 1940. So insulation is ok, but no the best in some places. such as the closet that has my Magnoli Tyler Jacket. Two of the closet walls are outside walls. so when you open the closet door it can be quite cold in there with the changing weather. I can't ...

Here's a few older pics of me in full gear and one out of gear. Sort of.

Agent5, great pics. What jacket is that? it's the exact color I would like to get.

Terrasolo

I think it's fine that he didn't really use it. it seems to me that at this point in his life he carries it more as a last resort. He's been through a lot of wars and a lot of deaths. he could have found that at this point in his life he would prefer to not see anymore if he can help it. He still ha...

Terrasolo

Thanks for the measurements, that's a big help.

Terrasolo

Havershaw, just curious, as I said before i am a 38 reg, but was curious of a few things about you to help me chose a jacket size. If you odn't mind. What is your height? and your chest and sleeve measurements? if you know the last two. I know suit sizes can fit a varied group in that same size rang...

Terrasolo

this has been very helpful because due to my current budget I am thinking of a Todds standard as well. I am also a 38 reg and thought the small might be the best option but the medium looks like a great fit on you. I can't wait to see the after pics as I think I will follow the same steps you did. H...

Go back and read my post. The pants run a little big. well that's not what I wanted to hear lol. sorry but yeah I did miss that. oh well I guess the good part is that they are returnable to the store. Oh and just so everyone knows, my Brother bought pants and he thinks "will do", so these...

Terrasolo

Terrasolo, I ordered the Lee twig pants from Kohl's online, and I ordered my normal size and they fit very well. For reference, I'm 6'4" and 200 lbs.; I ordered the Lee pants size 36" waist and 34" inseam. I generally get jeans and other pants with a 35 or 36" waist and 34 - 36&...

Here's a good link for one with decent color matching: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=33236&highlight=kohls I purchased some used wested pants afterward and compared the two. It's not an exact match for officer pinks but as far as khaki's go, I haven't seen a better match myself. q...

Terrasolo

Massive help there guys Thanks!

Terrasolo

cool, thanks for your help.

Terrasolo

Nice boots indeed. Just one question though, if I am a size 91/2 am I out of luck or were the shoes made as a sort of in between the sizes?

Terrasolo

EDIT: never mind I figured it out, new question: Does he have more then the gun belt and whip holder? I've been away for a bit.

Terrasolo

hey guys, my brother is trying to piece together an Indy outfit for halloween and having trouble fining a good pair of pants. I have heard a few mentioned before, but was wondering if anyone could point me to some of them again. Specifically one with a good color match. Oh and if I get a good one I'...

Hey everyone I thought I would ask here since usually someone has inside information. I've been trying to contact Ken just to get an update on an order that i have placed with him. I know he has a new baby and is very busy but it's been about 2 weeks and no reply. does anyone know if he is ok or sup...

Terrasolo

great news! thanks for that. I'm hoping that line dry will give it the look I want, but I am not too sure. I'll try that first then the dryer if need be. Indy and Blue jean go hand and hand I can remember clearly the deleted scene from temple where Indy said "Shorty, where's my razor!?... and m...

Ok, while I await the Fieldmaster's delivery to my door (very excited about this, but know that it will be a long wait) I decided to get some other bits of gear. to start we have the Todd's shirt size small. I am a 38 regular in suits and this shirt fits to a T (Terrasolo?) it's a bit perfect fittin...

Terrasolo

what about the hat that Steve said that he snuck in that was the original sample hat. Didn't they say that it got used in two back to back scenes for continuity?

was that a different bas of just the brim?

Terrasolo

You met them with the other gear too right? you have the pictures to last forever? So maybe your jacket was there too, but that is one piece of of the whole set and if it doesn't fit right it will bug you forever. I know it would on me. and if the funds aren't there to keep it, at least all your oth...

Terrasolo

I assume that they mean 1 and a half inches, or 1 and 1 eight inch.

so with that i did my conversion and came up with this:

1 1.2 inches ( or 1.5 inches) = 3.81 cm

1 1.8 inches (or 1.125 inches) = 2.8575 cm

Hope I did that right, if not I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Here is a site with Farnums in stock (which is where I bought mine).

edit--
YMMV depending on the size.

thank you sir

Those look great. Question on the boots, is there a link to an online store? I did an internet search but had no luck. Found the rockport site but not the boots.

great, thanks for that!

do both of these have the pocket flaps?

Terrasolo

I was at walmart today and found a close enough shirt on clearance for $9. I think they just marked them down and had quite a few. Nowhere SA but it has the Indy image and another shirt that goes good with my fedora. :) http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/rjs3006/IMG_1650.jpg good find, you know...

Terrasolo

I'd say add the poppers as 10 bucks is will make it feel as though you have a new jacket without the new price tag.

Terrasolo

Terrasolo, the leather is very light and thin. I'm sure it could tear if it got snagged on some sharp metal so I wouldn't try climbing razor wire in it. It does feel tougher now that it has seen some weather. When I first got it, I remember taking it off before playing with my in-laws overly exuber...

Ok. Here is my jacket new, just hours out of the package. [img][img]http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/2338/1006682dn4.jpg[/img] [/img] And here it is tonight, 2 month old and still very, very wet!

Should anyone care about such things: I am going to dye the last three of my five custom tailored shirts. I've come to realize that having too many tan Indy shirts is not practical so I am dyeing two dark green and one light blue. When I ordered them from a tailor in downtown Chicago, he asked me i...

Terrasolo

Well this might or might not help. The Brass buckel will tarnish, but will take time as the Brass over steel will age faster, specialy if youtake some 000 steel wool to it. This is what I did to mine and it turned out ok. As far as length, go for the 32-36, you can always trim it down. Under the bu...

1) he has Brass and Steal buckles, if I am right the steal look brass plated, so was Indy's only Brass and not steal in color? if so I will go for the brass, but I was having a tough time last night trying to find pics. From Todd's site: The buckles used in the films were steel buckles that were sa...

Oh man the way you guys are with your Indy jacket I am the same with my Life on Mars. as for the Who outfit I wear suits to work everyday so yeah i could easily justify the purchase. the Indy Stuff will get use too, but more so the jacket and Hat I'm sure. the rest is for fun. Welcome to COW. We're ...

Terrasolo

I think the connection between Who and Indy is three simple things, one Indy is a time period piece and Who is time travel so it feels slightly at home. then you have the paranormal, but more so you have a hero who used his brains and not just his fists or weapons. Indy is more involved with the fis...

I have a Wested goatskin jacket. If I were you, I'd just wad it up in a ball and toss it in a corner of your closet until it gets cool enough to wear. That should take care of a lot of the stiffness. As far as the sleeves shrinking over time, I have to say I haven't noticed any shrinkage with mine....

Terrasolo, You make some very good points I think. I kind of agree with you that an authentic jacket, however that might be defined, should be something that ages naturally and through ones own natural efforts. I think it´s a little "misleading" perhaps to artificially age a jacket. It´s ...
