Looking forward to hearing your experience/review.

I wouldn’t recommend Alden’s nor any of the clone Indy boots for a trek. This is one of those times that modern gear is going to serve you best. Your feet (and knees, back, etc) will thank you.

"Most impressive." (to mix LFL properties)

From where did you get your hat block and flange?

Indiana Jeff

Sorry, no idea.

From what I recall, Steve Delk used naphtha on both kinds of felt.

Indiana Jeff

That’s what happens when you get dressed in the dark.

My Bride did that a while back with her running shoes. Put on different ones and didn’t notice until after her run.

I’m a fan of paracord whips as well. My first real whip was paracord and I learned how to crack a whip using it.

The only thing to add is paracord whips tend to be lighter than the same length leather whips. That’s not a negative to me.

Indiana Jeff

100% agreed. Belloq’s entire aesthetic says he’s a guy who doesn’t get his hands dirty, he expects others to do that for him. All of the furniture in his tent in camp, to bringing bottles of his “family label” to drink, to wearing a suit complete with tie and dress shoes on an archaeological dig. He...

Saw these at the Nike store.

There’s no shortage of rave reviews here about Magnoli’s work.

Can you show pictures of the snaps? You hid them so well it’s no obvious to me how the straps/snaps are configured.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

As always, excellent work.

I have to disagree with the use of the magnetic snaps, though. I don’t like “fakers” on bag straps regardless of how practical they may be.

My first thought was Frost River... The challenge of finding a computer friendly, Indy style backpack is most canvas backpacks (Indy style) won't have internal laptop sleeves. Or as you have found, not within the price range you are looking. You may want to look for the backpack and a modern laptop ...

I attended a work lunch and these pencils were on the table. I had to fight the urge to not grab all of them.

I do like the look of those Parkhurst.

I Googled "Theater aging dust" and came across this website (among others). Like I said, it can get expensive buying multiple colors.

It looks good to me. The straps seem longer than standard so it may be one lantzn added longer SA straps to.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

Looks great! Wear it in good health.

Indiana Jeff

The other tip from Adam Savage, always use at least three colors when aging/weathering props.

It starts getting expensive, but searching for theater supplies you can find different shades of aging powders.

Indiana Jeff

There is a nylon whip in the Bazaar right now. What’s your price range? As an aside, if you've never had a whip before I would strongly recommend getting either a 6 foot or 8 foot length. Many people will get a 10 foot and whereas there were 10' whips used in ROLA and it looks great coiled on the be...

Maybe. All depends on what the spots are. If the hat sponge did not work that sounds to me like the spot is soaked into the felt and not strictly on the surface. A regular wet sponge with a mild detergent could do the trick. It could also discolor the felt. Adventurebilt always swore by naphtha whic...

We really need to add a note to the pattern with a measurement so folks can print to the correct scale. I’ll talk with the Top Men about making that update.

Holster looks great!

Indiana Jeff

Another consideration is go opt for a paracord whip. We have several members here who make them (check out the Vendors section on the main IndyGear site). While not screen accurate, paracord whips are generally much less expensive than the same length leather whip and 99% of the population won't kno...

Here's a measurement I took of my Todd's holster years ago. https://live.staticflickr.com/8814/17147502892_872dfc817d_z.jpg This thread shows the comparison between the N-frame and K-frame revolvers. https://indygear.net/cow/viewtopic.php?p=948457&hilit=n+frame#p948457 Regards, Indiana Jeff

Yep, generally fuller's earth is the way to go. Remember that in the movies they can reapply between scenes so in real life the effect will brush off. Uncolored/unscented cat litter or oil spill absorbers are usually fuller's earth. Double check the label to make sure it is nothing but 100% fuller's...

The HE model is a larger framed revolver so if you ever get that replica you’ll need the extra space in the holster.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

On a side note, thanks are in order. The pictures and info you shared about your Todd’s holster when I was pondering getting one are what convinced me to bite the bullet (pun intended) and buy one. It totally scratches my bolster itch and 100% lives up to my expectations. So thanks! :TOH: :tup: Reg...

Here's a couple of threads.

I have a rubber gun from Western Stage Props that fills my needs plenty. Though the idea of a revolver with moving parts is what always temps me. I am holding out for a Tanaka Works M1917 though they are super hard to come by.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

I merged this with an existing thread.

And every time I see one of those HFC airsoft revolvers I think I need to get one.

Indiana Jeff

Looking good out there!

What's the satchel you're carrying? I like the look of it.

Indiana Jeff

A quick Amazon search came up with a few options of replacement cable temples in the $30 range.

In general, there is no evidence bluelight lenses make a difference. I work with people who swear by them for heavy computer screen use.

I do like that James Dean jacket.

What is the other jacket you are wearing in the Advintage thread. It looks like it has corduroy on the collar and has the knits.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

I think the bright light on what could be perceived as the left corner of a D ring is a trick of light reflecting at that moment. To me the bunching is still consistent with a circle, especially as the bunching is across the width of the webbing and not only on the one side/corner. To makeitjones' p...

I’m not seeing a D ring. I think it’s a trick of the light. The fabric of the bag is bunched up indicating a round ring to me. I would expect the fabric to be flatter if the bottom of the ring was the flat side of a D ring. I realize these bags were made by many makers over the course of the war and...

It looks brand new and it does look great on you, you have a winner!

Check for any serial number on the tags, if you can find one (I have no idea if there is one to be found) you could try contacting G&B and see if they could determine an age.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

I’d say it held up admirably.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

If you got it for less than $200, you got a steal!

I have a G&B goat that had been through several owners, Michaelson included, and it is my favorite Indy jacket.

I hope the sizing works out for you.

Indiana Jeff

Welcome! Great looking lid.

Indiana Jeff

“Shrinkage”? Was he in the pool?

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

I think that depends on the sweatband too. My hats have shrunk naturally to different degrees from different makers.

I would think the lamp would work better by providing more direct/intense heat than leaving the hat in a car.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

Early in my custom hat ordering days, I had ordered a hat at 23.25” and upon receipt realized I needed 23”. I sent it back to the hatter and he installed a new sweatband without any other adjustments to the hat. The sizing difference was .635cm so if you opt to change out the sweatband you should be...

I suppose, other than the gun being passed is a Luger and not Indy’s S&W. Though, only nuts like us would notice.

Indiana Jeff

OK, that's even more bizarre. I misread the thread and thought the monkey stealing the gun was in the '81 edition, not the '08 edition. For it to be in the '08 edition makes no sense at all. Not for nothing, I have the Illustrated Script (published July 1981) so I checked and the monkey doesn't stea...

From what I can tell, the original novelization is based on the script rather than the finished movie, since the dialogue is quite different and there are some scenes that are not in the finished film. Or maybe some it was just the creativity of the author. The 2008 novelization is based on the fin...

That's really odd the novelizations are different, I assumed the 2008 was just a reprint of the original. There was so much cut from the early scripts (and used in TOD) I'm not surprised that if the monkey stealing Indy's gun was in the script it got cut. GL and SS were trying to make a lean movie w...

Jacket looks great on you, wear it in good health.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

I'm sure if you read the novelization first, it would definitely color the way you see the movie.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

That's interesting about the novelization. I didn't know it is written that the monkey steals Indy's gun. In the movie the monkey doesn't go anywhere near Indy's holster. I don't see the monkey having anything to do with the distribution of guns. The monkey scurries onto the Monkey Man's (is it him?...
