Great posts, guys! Keep it up! $\:D/$

The_Raiders

Thanks. i believe I'll look into the RIT dye. I really like the pair of pants I got, but they are just way too light for my taste, and as I said my old pair (although not pleated) were perfect for me, great color accuracy, nice fit, but I got a hole in the knee, and paint stains, and glue stains all...

The title says it all. What's your top five favorite peices of gear? Maybe mention your personal opinion as to why it's in your top five. Mine would be as follows: 1: The fedora (goes without saying) 2: The shirt, it's so simple yet so distinctive, behind a fedora I'd take the shirt over everything ...

The_Raiders

Ok well I'm sure your first thoughts on the title is, "Is this guy crazy? It was over the jacket". But I just wanna know what made them decide to film with the strap over the jacket. And the weird part is when I was watching some of the bonus features on the KOTCS disc I recall seeing Harr...

One time my friends and I were at the mall and some prppy girl, about 13 stops walking and just asks me, "Are you suposed to be a pilgrim or something?" I gave her a hard look and examined her and how she asked that and I knew she wasnt making a rude joke. I just looked her in the eyes and...

You can dye them, but, if they arent cotton, they will start to fade as soon as you wash them. And, dont put salt in the dyebath like the package recommends. Salt plus water, equals floating garments that dye unevenly. You can get RIT dye just about everywhere. The pants are 59% cotton. And what's ...

The_Raiders

Not a normal subject, I know. Well, I had an almost perfect pair of Indy pants, as far as material and color went, they are not pleated and they don't have back pocket flaps, but they have had about all they can take, they have numerous stains and tears from customizing work, gear work, etc. So I we...

The_Raiders

I went with the TOD. I don't know alot about guns but I likethe look of the longer barrel. The gun I really like is the one used in KOTCS.

The_Raiders

I for one think it looks absolutly perfect! i LOVE the musroom/light bulb effect. The rounded sides look great to me, and that's what I strive for with my hat, the most I can get is maybe an ever so slight rounded effect, but mostly straight sided. I am thinking about placing an order for an AB when...

The_Raiders

Thanks man

. It's truely a great jacket!

The_Raiders

I see them just fine. :-k And you look great, The_Raiders! :tup: Thanks for the compliment! :D . Hhhmmm I'm not sure why you can't see my pics, here's a link to my photobuclet album and my myspace albums. http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/Mean_obiwan/ http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cf...

The_Raiders

Thank you

. It's a really great jacket. I put snaps on my storm flap, like the LC/KOCTS jacket. And then replaced the square buckles with "D" rings. I love my jacket.

The_Raiders

I really really love my Todd's jacket. And I like to put my gear to use the way Indy would I don't exactly baby my jacket or any other gear (Except my hat a little ;) ) But my jacket has stood up to alot, and it feels great to wear even in warm weather, which is an aspect (like many others) that I r...

The_Raiders

Woah! Sorry to hear about that! This is the first I've heard of anything like this on a Todd's shirt. Randy It is a very odd and somewhat depressing issue. The holes just seem to have sprout out of thin air, if I would have noticed them when they were small I could have done something, but I didn't...

The_Raiders

Wow, I never heard of that happening before... is it possible to get some pics of it? I may be able to get some pics later, the only camera we have is my sister picture phone so I'll need to see if she is in a generous mood :roll: I was thinking when I get a new shirt I may as well make my Todd's a...

The_Raiders

falling apart? Gosh that's scary, can you tell us more??? The Adventurebuilt shirt is for now the best substitute of the NH shirts which are now out of production. Well, on my Todd's shirt, both sleeves at the elbows have two really big holes, and the curious part is, I never even noticed when they...

The_Raiders

Where do I got to order a shirt from Noel Howard, sorry if this sounds pre-mature,

but I've looked and I can't seem to find out where. My Todds shirt is falling apart on me and I desperatly need a new one, so I'm looking at options.

The_Raiders

I have an offer to make. I have a standard Todd's square slider buckle, and I was wondering if anyone would trade me a TOD/LC/KOTCS roller buckle, for my Todd's slider. So, how does the deal sound?

The_Raiders

Sure thing, thanks alot, Matt.

. I'll let you know if I ever need any.

The_Raiders

I really like what I see at Magnoli's. Alot of their items are out of my price range, but I will probably get the drak brown strap,a nd roller buckle.

The_Raiders

I really would like to try out the dark brown strap, and I have Todd's square buckle, I really want a roller one, since that's the one you see in all the films except ROTLA.

The_Raiders

I think my Todd's is average size. I've had it along time and it is VERY tough from what I've put it through. I replaced the strap too with a TOD style one, and it looks fantastic. I love it.

Who here has the dark brown strap with the roller buckle? I'm really considering getting one. But I want to hear about it first.

The_Raiders

I've had the "man purse" thing thrown at me a couple time, acually for the most part everyone seems to like, but there is always those select few. I simply tell them its a MKVII WWII British Gas Mask Satchel Bag, and that our soldiers used the min the war, and that usually shuts'em up pret...

The_Raiders

I know dark jackets are cool, but I want it to look as screen accurate as possible. I want something close to the LC look.
I might do a little test with alchohol, though.

The_Raiders

I have had my Todd's jacket for quite some time now. And ever since I got it (even after distressing) it looks somewhat like a dark maroon brown color, pretty dark, and not really the same color as any of the jackets used in the films. I'd like it to look similar to the LC jacket, buit I don't know ...

The_Raiders

I got TODD's jacket and I didn't like the slide bars. I put D rings on mine.

The_Raiders

Aside from only afew people, I've mostely heard bad reports, at least little complaints on the Christy's unfortunelty. When I first got mine and bashed it, it was tappered alittle. But after constatn use and exposure to rain, it tapered very severely. It looked like I was ready to be brought down by...

The_Raiders

As for re-blocking a Christy's. It can be done but you have to realize that these hats have never seen water. They are dry block or at least thats my understanding of them. They will shrink. Add that and the fact that they have very small tight machine stitching that goes around twice near the brim...

The_Raiders

Thats because the Crystal Skull hat is a very straight sided hat with virtually no taper, perfectly stovepipe. The Christy's will not lend itself to a proper Crsytal Skull crease. I have a Raiders/CS crease in my grey Christy's and I like it, but I'm not too concerned about it being accurate to any...

The_Raiders

I am one of those "lucky" people, I supose to have a Christys that I am fond of. Steve I have a question for you. I have re-blocked my hat on a block I made variouse times, always getting the hat wet or damp with variouse fabric stiffners before putting it on the block, and now whenever I ...

The_Raiders

I've never owned a FED IV but honestly by pictures I don't care a whole lot for it. I do how ever own a Christys and its the best Indy hat I've owned so far. After a re-block on my own hat block I made I achieved the light bulb effect with an LC bash and brim style. It's a great hat, but can't reall...

The_Raiders

Acually everytime I re-shape my hat I soak it in cold water, then place it on a block I made, then when it dries I spray alittle fabric startch on it to stiffen it up, and while its damp from the startch I re-shape it and it always works great for me. But my hat is a Christys Adventurer so it may w...

The_Raiders

Well as said my camera is broken but I am with my friends so maybe I can get pics of the Scala. But I do mess around with the old beat up hats and make them something someone would acually want t wear.

The_Raiders

Well my camera broke

So Im going to have to wait until my friend can take pics with his phone. ;-)

The_Raiders

Alright, let me start off by saying I am in no ways, by no means a proffesional hatter, with any type of buisness or anything, I'm a sixteen year old who loves to fiddle with all types of hats and see what I can come up with and what experiments can help with the hats "life"span, shape, ho...

The_Raiders

I have a hair style just like Indy's and my hat never usually messes it up too bad, sometimes it just messes up the part or pulls it back where it kind of looks like Mutts hair

but I can easily fix that. ;-)

The_Raiders

The_Raiders

5 1/2 open crown. 5 inches on side after creaed. Front 4 3/4, back 4 1/4. But, to pull off the CS look, the block has to be straight sided, with a flattish dome. The Christy does not have this. But, give here a go, I would like to see how it looks. Regards, Fedora Thanks, Fedora :) . I acually have...

The_Raiders

There's no way at all I feel embarassed about wearing any of my gear in public, my hat is literally on my head from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I go to school alot in full gear, and it's surprisingly accepted by the majority of the other students, I havn't had anyone make fun of me or anyt...

The_Raiders

Would it be possible to get the measurements fro the KOTCS hat?
Seeing as how the Christys can acomplish the LC look pretty well, I wanna try mine with a good KOTCS stlye bash, with presice measurments, not just the bash I have now that I went off of on looks.

The_Raiders

Wow, that's a very good looking Christy's to me. Mine certainly has gone through alot of adventure, living in east Texas, it gets very very hot and humid, not to mention reshaping my hat multiple times, had cause it quit some dramtic tapering, althought i did make my own little block, its not the be...

The_Raiders

I completely agree with this. A person could wear one of the actual hats Ford wore in Raiders , but if it's not right for that person it would look just as ridiculous as someone who's 6'5" tall and weighs 245 lbs., but insists on wearing Harrison Ford's jacket, shirt, and pant sizes because th...

The_Raiders

The Raiders hat doesn't look good on everyone. I think it suits my face shape. I could be wrong, but I think it complements me. A short crown and stingy brim makes me look rediculous. The Raiders specs are just about dead on for me. Dave I agree with that also. I've tried The Raiders bash and specs...

The_Raiders

Wow! That looks fantastic! I have one question, was this image flipped around at all? But this is sometihng I planned on doing too, I plan on making an LC holster, what kind of thread and tools did you use?

The_Raiders

Oh, I agree with this 100%! I've seen hats the look like big'ole boxes on peoples heads, and you can tell it just doesn't look natural like Harrisons does. One of the things I try to acheive the most is a hat in proportion with my face so I don't look like I have big'ole box o me. Also, I know we al...

The_Raiders

I have the TODDs bag and I am very pleased with it. I replaced the strap with a CS acurate one, and it holds up very well. It even managed to hold my weight when I put the strap around a pole to see if a bag could hold a persons weight like in LC :lol: it worked too.... but I have had no problems wi...

The_Raiders

It's because of a couple of reasons. The felt has a lot of air in it and my understanding is they dry block these hats. Heat and water is not a friend of this hat. Yes, I have found that out the hard way. I've never heard of dry blocking before.... My christys was very tapered, but I made my own bl...

The_Raiders

I have the Todds standard jacket and I had the same problem. I just grabbed the points of the collar firmly, and just rolled it inwords very tightly, then unrolled it and flatened it and I havnt really had the curling problem anymore.

The_Raiders

These are the only pictures I've taken since I replaced my Todds strap. It was with a camera phone so the quality kinda *****. But I like the serpentine belt because, like Indys, in certain lighting it can look like black, or brown, really under close inspection its a dark brownish color, but here's...
