IMO, that just doesn't seem long enough to fit Harrison Ford, who at the time, was about 6’2” tall. You posted this as a statement of fact and leaves it open to scrutiny. As mentioned people here cannot accept any other conclusion. Its just not within the relm of fandom possibility. Carrie Fisher i...

Kyle, you make a presumption that Harry Gord had to be about 6'2, in those days and if thats true then he must have done quite a bit of shrinking, around 4" in height. Take a look at this photo. DC is listed as 5'10. https://images.app.goo.gl/gj7a9NJKjKEfReoG9" onclick="window.open(th...

I started to open a thread, but I will post it here: I have often looked at Indy jackets from vendors and have wondered why no one is offering a budget conscious jacket with at least most of the specs which are faithful to the film jacket. I believe that there is a void in the market at that price p...

Usually, these types of jackets are amalgamations, but for the money, its not bad--if the distressed brown is actually made as the photos shown. Here are the specs that could be improved upon for a Raiders. Jacket in photo is distressed .cowhide and needs to be lamb or even distressed lamb. Snaps on...

If you think through what might have happened, there was a main hero that Ford wore in most of the scenes. A different jacket or jackets were used for the destructive work and stunt work, such as a bullet hole in the upper sleeve, the truck drag, etc. They would have kept or reserved one-the main he...

Texan Scott

After the Terry Leonard truck drag and the scene transitions back to Ford, it is unclear if the main hero is used again, due to blurry action stills, the jacket wrinkling on certain panels, etc. After this sequence, the main hero is not used again and we transition to the dock, which was filmed at L...

Some have said that there was a different jacket used for the truck chase, but the main hero jacket was used for at least half the sequence, as the stills indicate. .

Texan Scott

saw several used/vintage fedoras and akubra hats that might make good clay for your mold and not too bad on price either.

Texan Scott

...knuckle draggers shouldn't expect a good fitting jacket. Forget-about-it!

Possibly a change of leather and a few iterations around the release of the movie.

Once, I waited for a rain shower and got a LC jacket in authentic lamb wet and it seemed to really soak it up. As it was drying naturally, did the wrinkled sleeve action, etc. Generally, I don't recommend water because the leather is organic material and takes the natural oils out of the leather, bu...

Last I spoke with someone at G&B, they said that their leather cutting techs had moved south and were working in Mexico.

I knew they had been working together for many years.

Texan Scott

Todd was at his best with the first few runs of jackets, sizing etc. This looks super grainy.

Texan Scott

somehow I see a ToD and maybe even a SoC in the future?

Texan Scott

there is something about a well worn jacket, hat or shoes that becomes part of a person. I have a pair of Alden's that I wore everywhere and in every type of weather, rain or snow, to do yard work, etc. They wouldn't have that look by 'distressing' them. The pair of shoes wouldn't have turned out th...

Another is the Hubertus, lthough the price has gone up quite a bit:

Any experience with these?

Based in Greece, just wondered if they use Portuguese felt?

You're in good hands. Diego & Roberto take care of their customers.

Amazing well worn lid! I like its color.

Plenty of adventures with that hat.

Texan Scott

Thickness, although there are certainly thin cuts of cowhide. Texture of the leather. The two leathers tend to distress differently. It depends on where the hide/skin is sourced, if it is tanned with a more natural process, ie veg. or chromium. Color and type of leather dye, etc. Cowhide can be sued...

I can do it even lighter.

I think Diego just enjoys beating the s*-- out of a jacket.

Texan Scott

so the bow is about 6" and it is folded on the front end?

Texan Scott

Great info. here. Thanks for posting!

Texan Scott

sounds like a defect. you could send it back to Jerry for a replacement if needed, and snag a long?

Texan Scott

Adv does not sell the 80/20 anymore.

Texan Scott

He shoots, he scores! Very nice jacket! Enjoy it!

Now all that remains is the bullet hole in the left sleeve and to be dragged by a truck..?

Texan Scott

For $5M, I doubt it would sell for more than that, if it is authentic.

Texan Scott

Serial numbers dont match. The main page lists it as: 39871. The seller at auction as: 37891.

Texan Scott

I think the key to the Indy look is that the hat looks used, worn in, a part of the character. When an add on, or article of clothing looks a part of someone, it becomes indistinguishable from them as a person, and becomes a part of their persona-identity. Other than possibly the Michael Douglas cha...

Anyone with a light sable Advintage that you can post? Wanted to see if it was much like Raiders?

Texan Scott

Remote, but if LF had say a dozen hats made for CS, they may not have absolutely needed another vendor. Is Steve Delk still around, or is he totally out?
