Here's my brief case. Had it before Dr. Jones had a movie though. :D http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p313/alphared6/photo-1.jpg What year was this bag made? Does it show a brand/model? No, sorry. The case is completely sterile. not a mark anywhere on it. :CR: Spy vs. spy stuff from the cold war ...

I should point out that the head of the snaps are under the layer of leather, there is not a brass head at the top and bottom like I see on other jackets.

Here are links to some pictures. I hope they answer you're questions. :) http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p313/alphared6/100_1490.jpg Here are some additional pix I was asked to post as the links to the old ones failed. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p313/alphared6/FordJacket1.jpg http://i131...

So... Other than Todd's there are no boots like this that cost less than a car payment?

alphared6

As you may noted from this thread I replaced the soles and heals on my boots back in April 09 and have, pretty much, been wearing them every day since and closely observing the uppers. I'm happy to report that the uppers are holding up very well. I've not been gentle with them either. Working on an ...

Brute indeed! Getting out of my car this afternoon a powerful Oklahoma wind blew the hat off my head, it hit my car and dented the fender!

Now this is a hat you can wear in any weather without fear!

alphared6

I got a Downtowner in a trade with a fellow COWer, it arrived today. I love the color. However when I opened the box the first thing I noticed was the size of the hat. Not the fit, of course I knew the size of the hat long before it arrived. I mean it's just a big hat. Taller, wider ... compared to ...

They sell wholesale only.

Wow ... so many memories... I had this brown fedora I had bought in a vintage clothing store in 1977, took it with me to both my tours in Germany. I went all over Europe in those days and that old fedora went with me. It hung on hat racks in Alfredo's in Rome, Maximes in Paris, and the Texas Steak H...

Opinion is running 2 to 1 that Indy owned multiple hats over the the years.

alphared6

Mine is a Wested horse hide (though not a custom) I got in brand new condition from a fellow COWer some months back. It's a 44. First thing you notice is its length, the body is real long, which is OK by me, but not SA. From the top snap to the bottom it 24 3/4 inches long. When I got it I found tha...

alphared6

Oh yeah! I love the comfortable folds in the sleeves that develop in leather and wool jackets.

alphared6

Pinching mine at each shoulder seam and laying it flat the front and rear line up almost perfectly. When worn it appears the rear is about 1.5 inches shorter then the front.

DAD-GUM! Where was that stuff when I needed it! A pair of pant made out of that stuff and I'd not have a limp today!

alphared6

WOW! That slider look exactly like the slider found on the strap of a WW1 German gas mask can!

...Ya don't think????

alphared6

I've noticed, over the period of my membership here at COW that a number of posts about Indy's fedora and there seems to be a debate as to whether or not its the same hat the "Fedora" gave him in 1914. So, let's take a pole ... Does Indy have but one hat that he keeps getting re-blocked or...

alphared6

Well and soundly stated!

alphared6

Just a real world note ... I have a beaver felt fedora manufactured in about 1952 that I've worn since 1974. It's ragged out. There's a hole where it pinches in the front, and despite several bollockings it's lost it nice clean shape. Nothing lasts forever.

alphared6

Ahhh ... I dun-no. The hat he receives from "Fedora" is not the same hat, it is definitely not the same bash, I don't think its as tall a crown and the brim seems wider to me. If we're taking the books as Cannon, this latest book "Army of the Dead" states the hat is the one he go...

I drive an SUV so there's plenty of head room, and I'm over 6' tall. I sit the back of the seat up almost vertical so the head rest is not a problem. With my lid on, I don't need the sun visor!

alphared6

many of these old pistols are just shot out. How are the lanes and groves in your barrel? If that barrel is without them that could be your problem.

I'm deadly accurate with mine at 25 feet.

alphared6

I took one of my jackets to a tailor and asked if this could be done. The price tag was beyond shocking!

So I asked at several other tailor shops, the price did not vary significantly!

My response to that is so dirty I'm ashamed to have thought of it myself!

I just got a Wested horse hide LC jacket. I must say that after all I've read here about Wested I was disappointed! It's poorly cut and randomly assembled . And its size is misidentified to boot.
So ... I'm back in the market for a good SA jacket. I'll be eye balling a Raiders this time.

alphared6

I've had mine for a year and a half, there abouts, and its held up great! Took it with me to Disney World last Nov and when it got warm I removed it, waded it up and stuffed it into my GI Map case. Today, all broke in, it looks great and has worn quite well!

Kiltie: No sweaty-da. I had no idea of the degree of interest, or detail, people had in this film until I found this site. After I had read a vast number of posts I thought my conversation with ford would be of interest. Seems he called me from Montana. He'd been offered a script in a movie where in...

alphared6

I think that when alphared6 was new on the boards, he 'busted out' by disclosing that Ford told him that the jacket he went into the river with, was chased by the Hovitos was a cotton type jacket, because it held fullers earth better than a leather jacket. To me, it made sense because he was also a...

alphared6

No. And yes.

alphared6

Davidd ... you appear to be the only owner of one of these to post. Bottom line it for me, is this jacket worth the over 200.00 dollars it is priced at?

alphared6

So I ran across this on "The Bay." Sounds like this jacket is a "second?" Anyone have one of these? 'Indiana Jones' Raiders of Lost Ark' Leather Jacket by 'Wested Leather' This special offer comes in soft 'Authentic' brown lambskin This authentic copy from 'Raiders of the Lost A...

THAT'S IT! I normally wear a 44L, this jacket is a 46!

Great ... Now I have to buy another jacket!

Anybody got a 44L they want to trade for a 46?

Mike

alphared6

Yeah, the Govt got wise to people removing and repainting the muzzle breaks and fixed the law. Now you have to saw the orange part off. Which of course ruins the look of your "gun."

alphared6

I know exactly what you mean. I got an original bag, carried it for quite some time, got used to the idea of carrying my extra stuff in a satchel. Soon I found that the old gas mask bag had gotten to small for my needs, so I retired it. I bought a replica of the US Army 1936 "musette bag,"...

alphared6

My understanding is that the orange tip must be integral to the "toy," not removable and made of a plastic to which paint will not adhere. We have two AirSoft M-16's and an AK-47. The muzzle breaks are made of this orange plastic. We have primed and painted them but the paint just rubs off...

alphared6

Won't federal law require that you make the end of the barrel in a bright orange? I'd not drop 200 bucks on a replica with an alert orange barrel.

alphared6

I have struggled with an odd problem with my G&B lambskin jacket. After a few minutes of wear the jacket rides up my right arm and down my left. Not much, couple of inches, but enough to be quite noticeable. I brought this oddity to the attention of my tailor. After a quick examination she sugge...

Thinking about jumping on the train with this one. Not too keen on ribbon stiching but color is far superior than FED IV. Will see how Christy can hold up during Russian winter. :TOH: Good grief man the French and German Armies couldn't hold up against the Russian winter, what hope does a felt hat ...

alphared6

I'd be interested to know how the soles and heals hold out. Let us know will ya? Mine fell apart in 4 days. Todd paid for the repairs though.
