I recently had to relocate my storage locker, which is about 20% old junk and tools, 10% old Dodge Challenger collectibles and merch, and 70% is my Indy collection, spanning from 1981 until about 2010. I came across stuff like my Aldens, that I had been looking for, some collectibles that I didn't e...

I just saw this on Facebook. I haven't been around these parts in a while, but had to pop in to pay my respects. Sadly, some of us are at an age when life stops giving, and starts taking. Peter was a good man and a great asset to the community. he could have easily snubbed us "weirdos and fan f...

The value of the whole hobby has taken a downward spiral. I have literally an entire storage locker of bins of an Indy collection. Acme Headpiece, Magnoli grail, an entire Nathans and Bermans (sp?) costume, DM whip, statues, figures, books, posters, magazines, boxes upon boxes of collectibles and un...

Gater

sorry bud. I live in Ottawa - about 1.5hrs west of Montreal) and I had to order mine from the US. I have not found Alden dealers anywhere close

Gater

DUDE! At $7 a pop, you could have cleaned them out, and put them, unwrapped, on eBay for $25 each!

Gater

I give it 'til the Blu Ray release

Those boots are awesome for a Stemapunk Indy. Very creative, and I know how difficult it can be to try to be specific in that community. Last Halloween, I did a Steampunk Deadpool. Black wool trousers and vest, red dress shirt, black necktie, and the mask with black and red goggles. Topped off with ...

aw man!! Magnum is available on US Netflix??! So is Burn Notice and a bunch of other great shows.

we apparently have 37% less Netflix content. Bummer.

Oh yeah, and I thought it was a Stetson, too

Gater

my first pair of Alden's close-enuffs was the JCrew Deckers. Really nice Italian leather boots. The cognac colour was too light but were on clearance and were a lot cheaper than the chocolate brown ones. I used to get a lot of compliments on my Deckers and believe that they earn a spot on any Alden ...

We better not be seeing "screen used Indiana Jones jacket" up on eBay!!!

jk - cool that you got to be in the shot

Gater

Unlike the jacket dabate, where we have to decipher who made what jacket in what scene, we do know that Angels and Burhman did make the holsters for Raiders. When Monty too over, and became MBA, I would think that MBA were still making exact duplicates of the screen used holsters - the MBA I have is...

LOL @ "errant spills of Diet Pepsi"

Somebody get me Bink!

Gater

(and Gater'd likely tell on me at this year's F.L. Summit if he heard first), but I paid 85 bucks total for it.

Aw Mitch, I wouldn't rat you out - besides, I already hooked myself up years ago

Gater

There's a quick scene in the spike chamber where Indy tries to use the knife to pry out the stone that started the trap mechanism. When it doesn't work, we see Indy hand the knife back to Shorty and he puts it back into the belt sheath. Subtle, but there ya go

Gater

Only the 3/4 length coat would make it difficult to get to the whip - the bag could be work on the outside a-la CS but the gun belt would still have a far less practical use if it were covered and hindered by a longer coat tail.

Gater

At the Finger Lakes Summit, COW member Tym rocks the Aviator look w' sunglasses, pilot shirt and a nice tie. Classy look that works for him.

Gater

That is an unfortunate experience, indeed. Too bad, too - that's a really nice looking leather that you have. If it was what you had asked for, then I would have been really happy with it.

Do you have full pics of the whole jacket?

Gater

Not to take this too off the rails, but _ - have you ever met RR?

(I'm a fan of his work, and my current gf is planning on leaving me for him should the opportunity ever arise - now, if he'd just get on with the Deadpool movie, I'd be happy as all get out!)

Gater

on the other hand, maybe he's on to something? I bust my butt every day trying to dig up dirt and info for clients - I should just ask other people to do it for me, instead! I don't have to do the leg work, and can just say stuff like "Don't make me look for it, I'm too busy! That's what I hate...

Gater

wow - amazing what you can find when you look!

Gater

Beautiful work! May I suggest that you take payment up front next time?

Gater

I have always preffered to distress my own jackets. Having spent time with Guybrush and seen what that guy puts a jacket through! #-o The biggest problem I have is that the Raiders jacket has the blue tint under the brown, so when scrathed or scraped, it shows that blue-ish colour. My lambskin Weste...

I just flew a few weeks ago - I wore desert boots and didn't know that they had the shank. They set off the metal detectors so I had to go through a thourough 'wand down'. They checked the shoes and let me pass. For the flight home, I took them off, and put them in "the tub" and watched th...

Hey Wade - is it possible to get a manufacturer's patent on the holder? That way, as designer you hold the patent, and anyone making your style of holder will be in violation of your copywright

Gater

It indicates that the CS jacket is a replica of LC - I suppose to some degree that could be made an argument, just as LC is a "replica" of Raiders - there certainly are differences (sliders, pocket sizes, storm flap buttons etc), but not differences that most people outside of a Gear Forum...

How on earth is there an H&M is Peterborough and NOT one in Ottawa???

Gater

Not to revise an old post, but this just arrived at my doorstep. It's a USAlite vintage 1950's. It's seen better days, but looks pretty close to the screenused prop, and will look good in the CS display portion of my case. http://i.ebayimg.com/23/!CFuryRwEWk~$(KGrHqUOKicE0)j3V4iVBNWB7qCeig~~_3.JPG

If you just got that, you're a lucky man. He discontinued using that Staff of Ra liner a couple years ago in exchange for the new AB Pyramid version. Quite a coveted item, that liner is. GOOD for you! Regards! Michaelson was thinking the same thing, Michaelson - you just beat me to it. Of course, I...

Gater

You realize that I purposely left that out to get the "assist" right?

Gater

perhaps "Danger" is the nickname of the staff member who owned the jacket? A patch on the chest like that usually has the person's name, right? So maybe a stunt guy or FX person just uses the handle "Danger"?

Gater

Somebody go tell Logan that Colossus borrowed his jacket!

That's pretty sweet - so I have to ask _, since you seem to have a high appreciation for the Wolvie jacket, is it just the jacket, or are you a Wolverine fan as well?

(I'm a Deadpool guy, myself)

Gater

whew! Glad that you're okay! that's why I carry pepper-spray

Wasn't there a story floating around a while ago about someone at a temple or something, and a monkey junmped on their back and bit their Indy jacket on the shoulder? I seem to recall that.

Gater

Wouldn't a Brazilian Tarp Hat a-la Zombieland be more appropeau?

Gater

that. is. awesome!

I want one!!!

Gater

I agree - upper left! I have an iPhone (still the 3) and I know someone else with an iPhone 3 that I'd get this for, too

Gater

...and the craftmanship is worthy of Wested. anybody else get a chuckle when they read this? Great first effort! Leather looks butter soft! I have an Italian leather car-coat, and you'd swear that it was the softest leather on the planet! As mentioned the storm flap needs some snaps, but it is a gr...

so, after reacting to Holt's jacket ..

then the next question is - how does a smart-alec, 20 year veteran private eye from Canada get to be an on-set consultant??

You must be new around here.

Welcome, btw! If you do a Search, the forum is chock full of info/updates on the WPG shirt. good luck.

Gater

could the .45 be Mac's gun? He used a semi-auto

Gater

Perhaps we are answering our own question, somewhat. There are those who question design details on the film jacket that are not present on Wested Jackets received by customers. Perhaps some of the details not included or that are different on Wested jackets that were seen on screen are because the ...

US sizing is funny. I am a 10.5 in Canadian sizes, but last week in the US bought a pair of size 13 Nike's, and a size 11 Chukka boot - the Nike's I am wearing now from the States are a 12, and my Aldens are a 10.5 EE and fit a little snug. Kooky

Gater

quality is surprisingly high. Made by Wrangler, so a brand name,not a one-off. The suede is good quality, and the rubber sole is great. I walked around for hours, and my feet were fine - not sore at all. It has a slight tread, not a lug sole. I have the box at home so if I remember, I'll post the na...

Last week I was in Syracuse NY and went to a K-Mart (they're long gone from Canada) and found a pair of genuine suede Wrangler Chukka Boots - on sale for $9.99! They are extremely comfortable, and the sole is designed for walking (so yes - these boots are made for walkin'!) Anyone near a K-Mart, I r...

Loosens the braids???

thanks for the insight! I'll stick with the Pecards and leave the wipes for the car seats!

Gater

what about the Armour All leather wipes for leather seats? I use Picards, but some days either I'm lazy, or in a rush, or just need to clean some grass/dirt off of it.

I was admiring the Raiders 2 photos from Borton's recent thread (beautiful whip I must say!)

it has been my understanding that while ToD and LC used white hide falls, that the Raiders whip used red hide falls. Is this right?
