I’m still stuck on Frost River’s assertion that a studio has to “ask permission” to use a product in a film. LOL. The interest runs the other way: companies PAY for studios to use their product in their films; the studios don’t ask permission. It’s only a problem if you defame their product. I don’...

It's hard to say, as it looks very similar to a HH jacket I had some years ago. A cool jacket either way.

Hey, Whipster! I bet we can narrow it down. Is it light weight for heavy? If you can get a close-up of the grain, I bet we could nail it? Judging by the look of it, it looks heavy, like HH or cow. Being the cheaper hide and more plentiful, that would be a guess, but either cow or lamb. I'm not sure...

The Skyfall is goat. I'm not sure about the Indy style.

That's a cool jacket! Where did you locate it? Looks a bit like a hybrid of "Indy/Skyfall." No wind flap, I note and it also looks (as if pictures are the true guide :-k ) like it could be horse hide. Neat jacket though! What size is it? W> I found it on ebay. The seller specializes in vi...

I found this on my hunt for vintage jackets. It's a very Indy 1940's motorcycle jacket. Sadly it's too small.

I have the Menlo jacket and I would say that looks pretty spot on. Doesn't look quite as supple, but still a very nice copy. I was lucky enough to get mine at cost as I own a retail store. The $900 retail is really steep. I'm actually thinking about selling mine as the sleeves are a tad long. Good s...

Raiders is the easy choice, but ToD is my #2. As others have said, Ford's physique made the jacket look fantasic and very contemporary. Physically fit people make clothes look better, that's why models can make even the ugliest clothes shine.

I've had suede jackets of mine dry-cleaned to get rid of the cigarette smell and it worked. Most dry cleaners have to send it out as only very few places do that kind of cleaning. The only problem is it's very pricey. It cost me about $65. Also, I'd do some research with dry cleaning leather before ...

The boots - I get some looks at those too that are unappealing and I even got comments by some kids once that I looked like a clown because they looked like clown boots! :shock: Perhaps it's because they border between dress and work that gets to people - either they have to look like rugged indust...

I ordered some of these from a Aldo store because at the time they weren't on the U.S. portion of the website, and I'm in Illinois. Customer service told me I had to have a Canadian address! The first pairs were very small. I ordered my size (12), and the boots sent were sized 45 (EU?). I returned ...

whipitgood

There are these as well... I found them under shoes. These are almost a dead ringer for the Aldens. These Aldo shoes/boots looked almost IDENTICAL when I compared them to my Aldens. Slightly shorter at the ankle, but almost the same. http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/sale/men/sale-shoes/81471524-dian...

I actually went to Aldo yesterday and found a black pair that is a closer knock-off of an Alden minus the speed laces. Unfortunately they don't have the model on the website yet. My problem with a black version of the Alden is that it tends to look very orthopedic.

I was looking for a new pair of desert boots and stumbled upon this. It might be old news, not sure.

That inspired this alternate idea: The film is about Indy's "last" adventure before retirement. At the end of the adventure, his hat blows off his head and slowly falls thosands of feet over a cliff. Dejected, but glad his mission is complete, he leaves. At the end of the film Indy reciev...

Wow.......so in theory could a hat last almost 50 years? I mean after a time it'd be a different hat all together by having the felt replaced over and over again. Well, I have a neighbour who uses his great-grandfather's axe. Of course it's had 7 new handles and 3 new heads. LJ Exactly!! Even if ho...

Actually, iirc, the part about mending a hole is true - using the felting process they could felt more fur into the place where the hole was. It was expensive and not very common, but it could be done, and you wouldn't know the hole had ever been there. So yes, afaik, the guy's hat knowledge is act...

Someone tried using an Indy jacket for a motorcycle jacket before, and if I recall, one problem he had was that the jacket billowed out and rode up on him as he rode. Since an Indy jacket has plain cuffs, the wind will blow straight up the sleeves. Also, I think there may have been some issues with...

whipitgood

Actually, I just may have that definitive answer... We know he has a butt-load of jackets. Scene in Indy's house in Raiders with Marcus? The closet has several on hangers. There's on on the coatrack by the door? If he's got several jackets, he has several lids - and has HAD several over the years.....

whipitgood

Regardless what people here think, we ultimately have to go by what the creators intent was. Maybe _ can get us a difinitive answer on this one. How 'bout it? One hat or many?

whipitgood

Maybe Steve or Marc should have a cameo role in Indy V... They could show a scene of Indy picking up his hat after a reblock. Hehehe. Now that would be real cool, :clap: and a nod to these true craftsman! :TOH: Yeah then when they updated the Indy DK book, it could have their names instead of Herbe...

I'm not so sure the original creators meant for everything to be the exact same items over time, rather an iconic style.

We're talking about George Lucas here, so nothing is ever what it was originally meant to be. 20 years from now Indy may have a laser cannon attached to his hat.

whipitgood

Well all I know is if there were multiple hats throughout out his life, he must have had a heck of a time finding a hatter to make the right block shape and use the correct ribbon

whipitgood

Have Lucas or GL or SS ever commented on it being one or many hats?

whipitgood

I always felt it was the same hat. Over in another thread I made mention of Indy briefly losing his hat in LC, believing it had gone over the cliff. It seems it had to be one hat, otherwise him recovering it wouldn't have carried the same weight IMO.
