Nobody wrote:Clark, your Raiders looks great! Just to clarify it is not the "Hero" Raiders, correct?

Hey, thanks!

Yeah, it's a custom ROLA. Thinking of getting a custom LC soon. I have a clearance LC, but it's too short in the body, so not getting worn.

Kameron's getting some snow time. Holding up well past few weeks:

Cheers guys!

Heading to the US for a month today (WA & PA), so the ROLA is in the carry on...

How's it feel going down one size in the chest?

Regard! Michaelson

Cheers!

It's not bad unzipped, but zipped is a tiny bit tight.

Purchased the LC not long ago from a forum member and has been getting some wear lately. Thought I'd post a quick comparison of the two. (LC: 42 Chest, 25.5" Length Vs. ROLA: 44 Chest, 27" Length) - Both Novapelle Front: http://i.imgur.com/o7ZikZK.jpg Back: http://i.imgur.com/LLwNENd.jpg F...

Just got this Wested LC from another board member (Auburnindy). 42 chest instead of 44, and 25.5" length instead of the 27" on the ROLA. Bit of a different look, but I'm liking the slimmer look of this over my last LC. Hopefully it doesn't look too short on me: http://images.tapatalk-cdn.c...

This is mine from about 12 months ago. Same texture as the one on the right:

Late to the party, but here's a comparison of both straps: http://i.imgur.com/sGd99zR.jpg Temple/Crusade/Crystal Bridle Leather on original 1942 W&G MkVii, and Raiders "SOC" Aged Tooling Leather on 6 year old Magnoli MkVii with Wade Egan buckle. http://i.imgur.com/qzILndk.jpg The Tooli...

I'm wearing my Clarks Newberns today, quite comfy. In my opinion these would be great for casual or office-wear, or for wearing around the house. I don't think they'd last long if you went out adventuring in them though; leave that to the Timberlands or Dr. Martens. http://i187.photobucket.com/albu...

What kind of Dr. Martens are those?

They are called Kameron. Just replaced the laces with Chocolate 550 Paracord.

clark.j.kent

No issues with my Dr Martens so far. So comfortable once they are broken in:

Just picked this Levi's Jacket up on eBay. Doesn't have the halfbelt, but I got it for a steal. (Pics are the seller's):

clark.j.kent

I really like the look of that jacket. The only thing I can think of that I DON'T like is that quilted lining, but otherwise, spot on to what you're doing here. Regards! Michaelson If I could find this jacket in brown, I'd be buying it too, however there is no tag on the inside to get an item numbe...

clark.j.kent

Jacket found and ordered:

I was looking around for something a little lighter than leather, and this one has the Indy vibe I was looking for.

Dri-Duck Flint - Tobacco

clark.j.kent

Just got quoted $250 for a jacket relining... Ridiculous.

clark.j.kent

Thinking this in either Khaki or Foliage Green (OD seems too green):

http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/REM ... R-p384.htm

Looks fairly easy to put a leather strap on it too.

Hey, it's a "US" Wings jacket. You tell me, lol

Just received this USW Antique Lamb (Thanks Holt :TOH:). Fits like a glove and a fine warm weather alternative to my Wested Novapelle Raiders: http://i.imgur.com/MUtNlNz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WCcVNAC.jpg And already replaced the dark USW snaps with antique brass ones: http://i.imgur.com/cVIBFVV.jpg...

Im really enjoying this thread. Until now I thought the closest we'd come to an updated Indy look was Nathan Drake. Anyway, ive got kind of a radical idea ive been toying with for the past couple days. The outfit is cool, but the satchel really makes it look dated. When is the last time you really ...

clark.j.kent

Boots finally arrived. I've already ordered some longer dark brown paracord laces, but I figured i'd borrow a lace from my Clarks to see the difference in color:

And both boots:

clark.j.kent

After wearing my Raiders the past few weeks I find myself wanting to order another LC but with the armholes cut higher to fit closer under the arms.

Decisions Decisions...

2nd pair of boots with a more rugged sole ordered yesterday:

Dr Martens Kameron (Tan)

Cheers guys

I will be going "Au Naturale" with the wear and tear on this one. No tools near this jacket unless i'm working on something

clark.j.kent

I got my Raiders in Novapelle last month and it's got a great weight to it. It is a little heavier than a Lamb, but nothing overbearing.

clark.j.kent

Got a bit of rain here yesterday so did a few laps around the block to break in my jacket. Looks to have darkened and loosened up a little:

(Mind the cables. It was the only spot with nice afternoon sun)

M1938 Dispatch Bag arrived yesterday and got around to some distressing today. It was a really dark olive drab this morning. Not so much now: http://i.imgur.com/3rAIUyt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6qSbSon.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SiuN8VX.jpg And compared to my Magnoli MkVii: http://i.imgur.com/KvAwRkH.jpg ...

Where'd you find 'em?

They were from eBay. Looking at your previous post, possibly from the same seller.

Rinsed and dried a few times, left in the sun, dyed with mid tan shoe polish and distressed with charcoal and dirt in the backyard.

Came out better than expected in the end.

clark.j.kent

Received my 1130's last week. Finally got around to breaking them in: http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/29/ad0f9520bef613509c8819ac76124b1c.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/29/59620a174fb38301c6621d26d7262819.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/29/880fbe5bcb300f44282293aeedb...

Really need a new fed, but thought i'd try it out with my updated gear from my other thread:

clark.j.kent

I had recently purchased a LC jacket in NP and loved the weight and feel, however wasn't a fan of the fit as it was a clearance item so it was in someone else's measurements. Decided to order the Raiders in the NP to my measurements and love the fit. I may get a LC down the road to my measurements, ...

clark.j.kent

Just for you Holt

clark.j.kent

Just received my custom Raiders in Novapelle today. Gotta say that I love the fit of this over the LC I bought a few weeks ago (Probably helps that this is to my specs over a clearance jacket): http://i.imgur.com/mFQixZ9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gdBQswv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AgZtGxG.jpg And much love...

clark.j.kent

Not exactly modern, but I just won this M1938 Dispatch Bag on eBay. Looks like a nice alternative to the Mkvii:

It has rings on the back, so it can hopefully accept a leather strap.

clark.j.kent

Both lights arrived and they definitely look the part in a Mkvii: http://i.imgur.com/3nXaJD0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sk2hVMA.jpg Close Up: http://i.imgur.com/ddnXHWS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pDMBzTJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gd8ETWV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wtss5hu.jpg I replaced the original bulb with an L...

p.s. I know the bag is on the wrong side, but it's more comfortable that way...

clark.j.kent

Shirt Arrived Today

(Pics when I get home)

Also, I think I just found the bag i'll get:

Might change the strap to a leather one though

clark.j.kent

Thanks

And.... I just won another one. I had put in a ridiculously low bid and it seems no one else wanted it. Always good to have a spare...

clark.j.kent

Pants and Boots arrived today:

The boots seriously feel like wearing sneakers they are so comfortable, and the pants are a light quick drying material but also feel hard wearing.

clark.j.kent

Thanks guys! Well it is a clearance jacket after all, so I'm technically getting someone else's sizes. I mostly wear my jackets unzipped anyway, so it's not too much of a problem.

clark.j.kent

Just received my Wested "Copper Novapelle" LC jacket today, which was purchased from the clearance section. Saved about $100 Australian, so no complaints here, lol Chest: 44" Sleeve: 26" Back: 27" Sleeves are a fraction too long, but they should pull up after it gets some we...

Anyone have or seen one of these flashlights before? Just picked one up on eBay for cheap, and thought it would go great in my Mkvii. They were manufactured in 1943, so maybe Indy could have picked one up between LC & KOTCS. Would come in handy seeing as it doesn't need batteries: http://farm3.s...

True. Could always alternate between the Mesh Hat and this Weathered Cotton:

clark.j.kent

Well in keeping with the theme, I didn't mind this Mesh Twill Indy:
