Just got back from Maui. Went Boar hunting wearing my Coyle's Raider, really nice Close Enough Wrangler field shirt from Walmart, Wrangler taupe cargo pants and my Skechers Close Enough boots.... Here is a cave we came across deep inside the interior of West Maui. I wanted to explore it, but had no ...

I understand Mitch.

Maybe we can get the mods to merge all of these Todd's Raider threads and make them the "Official Todd's Raider Thread".

darkhelmet

I saw several threads but didn't want to hijack someone else's so I'll post my own review. THIS... HAT... ROCKS! I own the Downtowner, which is an awesome hat for the money but Todd's Raider is so much better. It's a softer, velvety fur felt and more flexible than the Downtowner. It's lighter, cream...

I remember asking the question about trying to dress like Indy without looking in costume...Well I finally did it. I found some nice taupe colored cargo pants at our local Meijer store and thought hmmmmm :-k . Yesterday, my son had a Marching Band competition down in Indianapolis so I decided to wea...

darkhelmet

Wow..what a tough call. I am wearing a pair of Skecher Indy style boots that has lasted several years. I guess it all depends on what someone is going to use them for. Of course I like to buy things that will last, but I've had good experiences with Skecher quality, so I wouldn't mind taking a chanc...

I'm wearing my Bantu Jacket almost every day now. Love it. Lot's of compliments. Also wearing my Todd's Raiders shirt, with jeans or with my taupe cargo pants...and of course Aldens.

Great look and comfy for fall!

darkhelmet

I have both Farnums and Aldens. I love them both and wear them pretty much every day. I may be mistaken, but my sense is that Todd's are made to be a "costume" boot rather than a daily wearer. If you want them just to wear when you're "geared up" for some event, that's one thing...

darkhelmet

Love my Aldens. I too could never justify the price, but eventually said "what the heck", saved my money and splurged on myself. Will never regret it. I wear a 13D and my initial order from Aldens was a 13D, but they were HUGE on me so I returned them for a 12.5D. Fits a lot better. Congra...

Seriously, don't drive yourself nuts. NO ONE is going to know the epaulets are just a tad "wrong".

Todd makes a great shirt at a great price. It's as close as you're going to get.

darkhelmet

For over twenty years, my other obsession was building an exact replica Bruce Springsteen's famous Esquire guitar. My first attempt was back in 1988 but the color was driving me nuts. Some pics show it a yellow. Some show it reddish. Some show it orange. I was pulling my hair out, but I carried on a...

Thanks

but looking for white.

darkhelmet

Are those shirts white? From what I saw on Cabelas website, nothing comes in white.

darkhelmet

Yes, scouring my local thrifts store but have come up empty handed :( I've got a LL Bean Field Shirt and a Todds. Just wanting a white one. I know Magnoli makes the Indy shirt in white, but I can't afford 109 bucks at the moment. I do get hits online, but like I said, it seems the ones in white are ...

darkhelmet

S&W has reissued the 1917. They are on backorder though. Street price is around $800.

darkhelmet

Does anyone have any leads to a nice cotton white field shirt? I was going to order one from Eddie Bauer but they are out of my size (XXL) and they are made "fitted", which is uncomfortable for me. I've searched online and found quite a bit, but they all seem to be made for Abercrombie and...

And may you have a great and successful 2012 John. I will own one of your hats if not this year, then next.

darkhelmet

You've got me curious. Does Todd's Costumes have a retail store?

darkhelmet

"Staph" infection

darkhelmet

I too am going to guess it's a very bad replacement ribbon. You can see the ribbon exposed behind the front part of the bow.

darkhelmet

I ordered five belts. Love the Indy 4 color and wear it all the time. Also got a Raiders brown and a LC light khaki and a couple of others.

darkhelmet

Well I have to say that the most smokers I served with in the Army could run circles around us non smokers. In fact, one of my Sergeants smoked two packs of Camel unfiltered a day and continually set company running records.

darkhelmet

That belt will fit nicely inside the belt loops of Todds pants.

darkhelmet

WWI or the Spanish American War Pistol belt with Brass Buckle. Looks close enough:

I can almost see why they wanted to go with Tom Selleck.

darkhelmet

What shop did you take it to IndyClone? I am down in Ft. Wayne and wouldn't mind sending it to them as it looks like they do great work.

darkhelmet

Has anyone done the Jim Steranko Indy look? I love the pistol belt and smaller jacket. Might try this variation in gear. http://ramascreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Indiana-Jones.jpg http://ramascreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Indiana-Jones1.jpg Also, does anyone know if these prints are a...

darkhelmet

From my experience anything "official" from Lucasfilm isnt going to be very screen accurate but a viable close enough.

darkhelmet

Just out of curiosity, I measured the inseam of a few pairs of pants I own that fit me well. Although the tag read 30", the actual measurements fell between 27" to 29". None of them actually measured 30", as stated on the tag. If Todd is providing the actual length of the seam, ...

darkhelmet

Love my Downtowner, but my ribbon has a purplish hue to it. I had some small pieces of Todds ribbon from a few years ago and there is a definite difference, so I ordered some ribbon from Todds and it arrived today. Going to attempt to change the ribbon. Has anyone done it? Found a couple of tutorial...

darkhelmet

Just received my today. OUTSTANDING One of the best pair of pants I've ever owned. Not just because they are Indy pants, but they fit like a glove and have a great retro style (which I am really into). I measured the waist of several of my pants and got a happy medium. I normally wear a 36x32 but &q...

I finally was able to show my wife my Downtowner and the first thing she said was "Wow...it's really, really tall"... I told her the movie hat was just as tall and then she crushed me by saying "It doesn't look good on you" (wives are so honest :x ) Not a fault of Todd, it's just...

darkhelmet

For what it's worth, I love my Todd's Indy shirt and wear it often with my jeans.

darkhelmet

Sorry gentlemen, my intent was not to insult a valued vendor. I love Todds products. Just wanted to avoid having to make trips back and forth to the Post Office which is several miles from my home and spend extra money in return shipping. I work 6pm to 6am so I sleep most of my day away. Will measur...

darkhelmet

Todd, One question, why don't you simply size these to what people are used to? I am ready to drop the cash on a pair, but like your boots, I am now reluctant. I normally wear a 36x32 and but have no means to measure my actual waist size. It's like your boots. I normally wear a size 13, but rumor ha...

darkhelmet

Those are nice. Love that color!! What color dye did you use and what was your process?

darkhelmet

I too just got my Todd's Downtowner in the mail and I too look ridiculous in it even though the hat is INCREDIBLE! I am happy with it sitting on my desk as I gawk at it.

darkhelmet

Just got mine in the mail yesterday

Just one question, does Todd replace the ribbon? I have one of his ribbons from a couple of years ago and it seems darker than the one that came with my Downtowner, which is almost a purple-ish.

If not, does he offer ribbon replacement?

darkhelmet

I just got my Downtowner yesterday. My measurements were 59.5 I ordered the 59 and it's just a tad tight. I might order another one in 60cm.

darkhelmet

I've noticed that with the Taupe pants, and field shirt (without Fedora)..the Raiders jacket makes someone look like an 1930's/40's aviator.

darkhelmet

Corcoran makes some great boots. I wore nothing but Corcorans when I was in the Army (Special Forces).

darkhelmet

I saw an interview somewhere in which Spielberg talks about his efforts to create an iconic, instantly recognizeable look for Indiana Jones. They succeeded; all you have to do is see the silhouette and you instantly know what it is. The Fedora and the jacket are the magic combination. Without the h...

You make a good point actually. I guess the thing is we can see the terminator in different clothes and he is still the terminator (in the first movie he didnt initially wear the leather jacket at the start of the movie if i recall, it was something else),

Yes...his birthday suit!

For those that have SA Indy pants...is there among these swatches, the correct color?

Just wondering if there is a particular dye that people use to dye their pants the correct taupe color.

I've been trying to find clothes that resemble Indy, without looking in costume. I currently wear modern field/outdoor shirts with taupe colored cargo pants. I travel home to Hawaii in September and would love to have that Indy vibe as I come through the gate to greet my parents, whom I haven't seen...

They are getting better. The ankle area is finally loosening up.

Just got mine... one word.. awesome. I love leather jackets and own several and this one just became my favorite. It is very light...perfect for most year round use, which is nice because all of my others are heavy. Todd's out did themselves with this offer. If you don't have one, I suggest picking ...
