Glad you like it:)

I think my next jacket will be a Last Crusade, cow hide I'm thinking.

Indiana Whit

Oh! So sorry! haha Wested, it finally arrived December '08, so just over a year now

Indiana Whit

Hello, all, hope the last year or so has been good to you, and that you haven't eaten any bad dates. It's been a long time since I was here- been a very busy year, and having lost my job I've been preoccupied with getting a new one (no luck just yet- last place I called told me that I was up against...

Indiana Whit

ah about the range I expected, thanks!

Indiana Whit

Maybe I'm missing something but to my eye, AB looks to be the more SA of the shirts available in terms of color and weave- feel free to interject here but yeah. Anyone who's bought one I'd appreciate a price quote as I can't make head nor tails of it on their site! Also, how's it hold up under every...

Indiana Whit

yeah the way it's sewn it'd be pretty difficult to get it down another 1.5", upon second examination. Wore it to work today, already got my first 'nice jacket', though of course only I know it's an Indy jacket, in that crowd:lol: I'm NOT, however, going to hang it up with the rest of the jacket...

Indiana Whit

No camera at the moment but I will upload pictures when I get the chance... far as i can determine fits perfectly- definitely one of the nicer things I've ever had draped over my shoulders- and the lamb is surprisingly soft! The one thing that really urks me is that the zipper doesn't extend to the ...

Indiana Whit

Uh, 'scuse me sir, I don't believe that bird is SA either

Indiana Whit

Do wish you the best and a swift recovery

Indiana Whit

amazing how much better they look when you beat the @#$% out of them- sort of the antithesis of most things!

*also amazing how everyone seems to have kryptonite considering how rare it's supposed to be!*

Indiana Whit

nice:) I'm still going to hate the film just because Arnold isn't technically *really* in it other than in voice...but I have faith at least that Stan Winston did us well before he sadly passed

Indiana Whit

haha yeah I think Arnold might've actually been heavier in T-3 than T-2 will Tony be working on (or rather has he) the T-4 jacket? Granted it's going to be another body builder guy with arnold's head digitally placed on it (why cant he just take 2 weeks off from governating?) but I wonder if he'll h...

Indiana Whit

I want Tony to make me an Arnold-spec T-2 jacket some time

granted arnold was huge so it'd be too big around the chest and arms, but I'll work out! haha

Indiana Whit

hmm I'll have to go back and watch that one again, I thought he had on the same one he usually wears :P It's nice to see someone pulling one off- don't see too many fedora type hats these days! I actually think he has several, some episodes it looks distinctly different, wider brim, more 'floppy' th...

Indiana Whit

You know it's funny, the jacket alone, most people aren't going to pick up on...add the hat to the ensemble and suddenly it's 'hey, Indiana Jones!' :lol: probably would work the other way around as well. I saw what looked like a raiders jacket (dead on color and stitching)...from the back, in town. ...

Indiana Whit

absolutely gorgeous jacket, man! Having just ordered my wested raiders I already want a new one seeing this.... and the obsession continues >.> Tony seems to (to quote John Hammond in another Spielberg film) 'spare no expense' on these things... I'm truly impressed and if I'm to ever order another j...

Indiana Whit

Ford looks more like a 6'- 6'1" @ 190 lbs to me now, maybe 175 in Raiders (which for me at that height range is really skinny- I still feel skinny at 193)- glad he didnt get a bad case of the fat-head syndrome that many actors over 45 or 50 get (compare their faces now to 20 years ago- it's lik...

Indiana Whit

8" only seems to look right with my jackets that are a bit bigger (44" and 28" back...which on a 6'2" frame seems maybe doable but imo slightly too long for raiders- just going by some cutout models I made of the pockets... obviously on your average frame (say a 5'9" or 5'10...

Indiana Whit

I measure pretty similarly, and I recently put in my order for a 42 (I should probably get 44 but we'll have to see if this is too tight)... will let you know when it arrives! Suffice it to say I'm a little worried about that myself, especially since I'm working out and trying to gain 10 more pounds...

Indiana Whit

The irony being that Harrison could make a $15 pair of wal mart pants Indy SA gear just by putting them on in his next movie

assuming that they'd actually make a 5th which I doubt!

Indiana Whit

Good to know, thanks!

As far as WPG goes, keeping SA in mind I'm wondering if I should request a lighter color as their site says you can do. Or maybe I'll just go the e-bay route... haha

Indiana Whit

haha nice

I saw some on e-bay for around $50...unless there's a more reputable source (WPG maybe?)

Indiana Whit

I'm considering getting a real Mark VII bag, and while I have a respect for historical items such as this, I'm also one who would like to use it if I were to get one, and I don't slouch on caring for my belongings (I have a 50+ year old telescope in original leather case as well as a leather WWII er...

Indiana Whit

Ugh. The genes of my family mean that its impossible to grow any facial hair. Like, at all. I suppose its ok though that we're guaranteed a full head of hair until the day we die. I have the exact same issue haha! Guys in the family age really slowly, keep full heads of hair with color in it til th...

Indiana Whit

Good thing he doesn't take after dear old dad...Sean Connery was interviewed and stated that he doesn't think ill of smacking a woman around once in a while...

ok ok so 'dad' in the films hopefully didn't do that.

Indiana Whit

He comes off as a grumpy guy in interviews... but then he was never one to be joking around and grinning from what I've seen (with the exception of a certain jimmy kimmel video and some Conan O'Brien bits)...

Indiana Whit

No kidding, wish I would look that good at 66... or that I would just look like a young harrison ford if I could pick and choose. :) I wonder if he still has one of his fedoras from any of the movies...that'd be cool if he just bummed around town with it on. Harrison Ford, shopping for groceries in ...

Indiana Whit

it does look very comfortable

If I hadn't just ordered a Wested Raiders I'd be all over that...but they'll run out by the time I'd be looking to get a CS one...

darn.

Indiana Whit

what hide did they use for CS? Cow?

Indiana Whit

well yeah I guess I should have implied by wash I mean 'wash and dry', sorry, when I say that I mean both hehe as it's never a one-step process for me. hopefully we will! I am asking him to change the length to 27.5" as I realized while 26" looks ok on a jacket I have that has elastic at t...

Indiana Whit

I was thinking maybe if you bought them a few sizes too big even if they shrink in the wash, there must be a limit to how far they will shrink, right? After that point it might be ok... I'm not willing to put that much money on a hunch though hehe *turns back to the mythbusters episode on right now ...

Indiana Whit

and the staple in his forehead...

Indiana Whit

yep Wested:) I assume the nickle he uses is the same color as the aluminum? Is it really that big a deal, I wonder, to use aluminum? I mean if the pull is going to snap off in your fingers (and I tend to accidentally put too much force into a lot of motions and break things...like the door at the mo...

Indiana Whit

I'm wondering when you know your order is beginning to be processed- didn't receive an e-mail notice when I submitted mine, I'm sure they're busy but I'm just curious on the communication here. I'll give them a call this next week anyway, I have a few things I might want to ask/ confirm. After seein...

Indiana Whit

hmm couldn't brass actually be SA as well? I think in the plane he had a brass zipper... anywho off to order Resistance 2!

Indiana Whit

can you tell the difference visually?

Indiana Whit

yar I know, just trying to remain SA

;-)

Indiana Whit

aluminum? hrm only lists antique brass 8 and 5 gauge and nickle on the form.

Indiana Whit

ah k good to know

It's going to be weird having a jacket that I zip up from the left... I'm sure it just takes a day or so to get used to. hehe

btw YKK is kinda slow in e-mail responses to order queries...

Indiana Whit

it'd be pretty funny to see him in a non-indy movie where he at some point is wearing the indy jacket:)

He really seems to have a love for that character (why else besides money he doesn't need would he come back for a 4th one?!) though I get the sense he detests Han Solo...

Indiana Whit

I find it confusing when it says 'right hand insertion', whether that means the pull is on the right side or the left.

Indiana Whit

Not that trying to look like Indy is a crime

Heck, after this one (if I don't end up getting another one because it doesnt fit or I screwed up) I plan on getting a Terminator 2 jacket like Arnold's! But nobody will notice because most people can't tell one black leather jacket from another

Indiana Whit

I remember a Conan O'Brien interview this year when he said something to effect of 'I don't want all that @#$% in my house!' when asked if he kept anything from the Indy movies.

Indiana Whit

I agree it does look great, and I wouldn't even think there were any pads there if you hadn't mentioned it...

Indiana Whit

Just thought I'd share in my excitement. Can't wait! First thing's first, off to YKK to order an aluminum zipper:) I decided to go with a 26" back and 26" sleeves, based on some jackets I have. Thanks for all your help, guys! Especially Agent5 as I decided to mostly follow your plan, with ...

Indiana Whit

My god, it's hideous! j/k Looks very good in outside lighting- wear it 24/7 for a month and roll around outside ten minutes a day and show it to us! lol ok maybe not that crazy but it's always interesting to see how differently people's jackets get distressed. I think the way a jacket is distressed ...

Karen Allen is still my favorite, I don't care if she's in her 50's

Indiana Whit

seems like an interesting guy to conversate with :P One thing I know I'd ask him... 'Mr. Spielberg...why don't you ever do commentaries on your dvd's!???'... the one thing I felt was missing from the blu ray of CS lol that's great that they're still married though, especially given the average durat...

Indiana Whit

no idea but I've seen him wear that in multiple interviews...

is he still married to Capshaw?

Indiana Whit

...#### I THOUGHT they looked familiar but...wow I haven't seen them in anything SINCE those movies so it's sort of shocking to see them so much older! That would be Allison Doody and Kate Capshaw then...almost cant recognize them except Doody! I like that hair on Kate better than straight blonde th...
