Did anybody see that Zahi Hawass allegedly launched his own line of 'adventure' clothing? I say 'allegedly' because I came across this when a former Egyptology student of mine 'Tweeted' it, and we've yet to determine if it's a really inspired parody or the real deal. A bunch of us have been left cur...

So...finally! to those that were curious about what job it was I was going for, check out the 'Legend Quest' thread at Lao Che's Table... No, I didn't get it (I'm not that Scottish guy, though I tested alongside him) ...and I'm a little relieved, now that I've seen the feedback on here! ;) http://ww...

Thanks Noah!

Beware the Aliens in the trunk of your car, Fox. Aliens? Illegal or Crystal Skull variety? :Plymouth: Thanks all! Glad you like the hat. It's gone from the hard 'cardy' feel that you get at first to lovely and soft too. Bonus! Next time I'm in Cali I may have to pop in to get my Akubra reshaped too...

those eyes are epic. You should put some on a pair of shades

Great idea!



We could both wear them!

Or were you talking about the fake eyes?

That just made my morning. I'm so saving that picture.

Thanks guys!

And, not being intentionally mysterious here, but as soon as I'm allowed to talk about the job I went for, I will.

Cheers!

ok, I know what you guys are gonna say about getting a Dorfman :roll: , so here's the context: I'm in the California, I'm heading to an interview for something and one day before I'm due in LA I'm told by the potential employer that I need a hat. An adventurer hat. And here's me having left my Fed I...

Thanks to those who commented on my sweet Todd's standard...aligned seams or no! ;) I love the look and fit of this jacket so the SA issue is...not an issue! Also, as many have observed, the leather is so darn good I'm wearing this in all weather, just cos it's so comfortable. I must say though, a h...

A visit to Todd's! Greetings all! Finally got some time after landing back in sunny London to write about my trip to Todd's. Whilst out in Cali for some work commitments I decided to drive out of LA and head to Pine Mountain Club, Frazier Park and try me on some leather jackets! I tried on three and...

Trust me dude, you don't have to baby it. Lamb is a lot tougher than it feels, and the stitching should hold just fine, my last one did, and stayed so fresh it was still practically 'new' when I passed it on. I did get a jacket! Had a great visit (technically two, I'm back at Pine Mountain now!) Tod...

Great jacket, bdgsi! It seemed only right to post today, seeing that I'm in a hotel opposite Todd's costumes, waiting for the man himself to open up shop (and hoping he does!). :CR: Came out to cali last minute for work and had to drive from LA to san fran so I thought why not make a stop here and t...

But as mentioned in several other posts around here...make sure you get the right size, buddy! Todd's run about a size smaller than expected, in my experience. I'm 5'10, 175 pounds and a 42" chest. I figured that would put me in the 'medium' category. Todds Medium is tight as all heck on me. I ...

Wow sorry for the major delay in reply there. I've been seriously busy with my PhD, summer getaways with my gf and *ahem* newest games console... But I really wanted to see a decent Todd's page up here, great job Basil. Ironically I've since grown out of my Todd's (which was already on the small sid...

Thanks for the kind words, guys, appreciated! I was lucky with the fit, really. I tried a bunch of 40R, 42, even a 38 (way too small), but none fit as well as the very first one. It seems the washed goat is a little softer and baggier than the regular (worth bearing in mind those wanting a washed......

So I decided that despite the horrendous bills to fix my suspension it was time to visit Wested. After all, I'd paid to fix the durn car so I might as well use it! So Saturday we jumped on the motorway and took a drive to the Kent countryside, were we found the famous, and surprisingly unassuming, W...

The only distressed hide I saw at Wested this Saturday gone was the pre-distressed cowhide. It had the same 'orangey' tint as the one in photos above. Too light for my tastes, but a good looking jacket.

I have no objection to you posting them on here Basil. At least until we have an 'official' Todd's display thread...maybe we should just start one! :-k Actually I've been meaning to post pics of the jacket after some wear. It's stretched out a full two inches now (not including that pleat opening). ...

Thanks Bartram, appreciated

I'm also interested in this 'stomp', as I'm sure are we all....help us Indiana G, you're our only hope

Good to know that I don't have to get pecard's right away as they don't have it here (far as I know)...I'm enjoying wearing this badboy in so far, anyways. Haven't gone to another jacket yet, though it was cold enough tonight to make me wish harder for my imaginary Wested Goat :lol: Cheers Weston, b...

Thanks for taking time to check it out Indy 35, I agree with you on that centre dent actually. ToD was the first Indy movie I saw on the big screen, so maybe it's a subconscious leaning towards the shorter more tapered crown (blasphemy, I know :twisted: ). And like you said, you gotta wear what suit...

Hey guys, got my Fed IV standard through the post today. Being the impulsive type I went ahead and bashed straight out of the box, with no experience, practice or pictures to guide me. 'Makin' it up as I go...' I did, however, then go dig out some pics from the Cairo scenes and used those as I tweak...

I think fun obsession sums it up nicely, jacksdad! Can't wait to try out some washed goat at Wested...soon, oh yes... I gotta say, Bigrex, I've learned so much about Indygear just from a week on this forum. I've always had the indybug (with the exception of a brief Indy hangover post-CS) but a few d...

Ha! To be honest, had I been on the boards when I got it I may have gone straight for a Wested! But life's too short to worry about spilt milk (and spent cash... :| ) Stitching is as important as leather type, and I will be keeping an eye on it (esp. after your horror story, PSB), but right now this...

Thanks for the kind words, everybody! The jacket is really settling in now, the leather has warmed up and stretched up nicely. We are now in a 'safe to flex' zone, so I'm very pleased :) I def will not be shrinking this one in the bath though! As for the Jacket bug, Crismans, yeah I hear you! I've *...

Thanks for the welcome guys, and thanks for the warning, KT. I'll be sure to watch my wallet in there, if my last excursion to the Indiana Jones adventure outpost in Disney is anything to go by! ...And they didn't even have the proper jackets! :-k Browncoat, I have the feeling that this jacket is go...

Thanks Michaelson! You're absolutely right, it's all about wearing it in. I've barely taken this thing off for the past week, I just love it (much to my girlfriend and friends' amusement!) I'm only getting a second because I want to get a thicker winter version in a larger size to fit a sweater unde...

Hi there, as I mentioned in my intro thread, I found Todd's much smaller than expected. As a 5'10" 170 lb guy I usually wear a medium, which I find snug (even a little tight) but I prefer this to baggy styles. Thing is, because of my weight training regimen I have pretty big shoulders, and the ...

Greetings all, New guy here :P , love the site and forum and finally got my registration approved. Nice to see so many fellow Indy fans in one place, and I just love how much information there is for the gearhead on here. http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6809/dsc00128n.th.jpg This is my new Todd's...
