I wear a green canvas Aussi walkabout hat and a black or green M65 field jacket I get called Indy. (go figure) I've also added a Shemagh scarf as a regular accessory since playing Uncharted 3. Yeah I get stares or cat calls but I was raised never to follow trends so I wear what I like whether others...

Here's mine.
WPG Replica I use all the time and a vintage H&S 1942 also from WPG.

No picture but i have the same pack used in JP3.

The bag thread pinned at the top of the page has a few photos of how it was originally worn. http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=37699 I also noticed it yesterday while watching Victory at Sea showing the troops on Gibraltar. However it is seen slung at side in the movie Battle of B...

Thanks.
I've had it a few years but it's only seen some action for a few months this summer while I was walking to and from work.

I just got one from them (WPG) that is in mint condition, looks brand new, just needs a little cleaning from dust on the face. It's a MK VII H&S 1942. Also got the strap that is a dark brown with silver buckle. I also have one of their reproductions. Edit, added pix. http://i7.photobucket.com/al...

Should be on sale till Saturday.
New sales set on Sunday.

The original post on the shirt I believe was posted in September so they have had them for a while.
I usually don't get over to that part of the store since I work in the warehouse at the opposite end of the store.

I was looking through this thread yesterday an noticed the shirt at Target.
After work I went over to the Mens department (I work at Target) and found the shirt in 5 colors and as a bonus it's on sale for $20.
Colors: Dark Blue. Black, Khaki, Burgundy and Grey.

Nice light weight 100% cotton.

Hi ya, Been forever since I have been over here. As to the authenticity of the measurements of the bag pattern I made, those dimentions where given to me by another board member a few years ago. So weather or not they are 100% accurate, I can't say. But I am glad some of you are using it to make you...

For the price of buying one you can make half a dozen.

Cool site, but to bad they are all water marked.
Will take a bit of time in Photo Shop or Illustartor to clean them up.

Hi Guy's, Thanks for the info and offers but I have the web belt, I'm looking for the leather one. The elusive Kenny (Elvis Trooper) said he's seen them and will pick one up the next time he gets a chance. He lives near by so it's not an issue. Jerry, No worries. :wink: Very good comparison pix btw....

Division 6

Saw this thread when it started and just looked at it the other day.
I was able to find a couple shirts as well, but it took about 20 minutes of looking.

God I hate Walmart!!!

Anyhow, guess this it my next sewing project.

Now if I can only find that darn belt.

Carry on.....

Division 6

Well the Raiders gun was short (4" barrel), hence the shorter holster.

And since I prefer the Raiders look over the others it should be shorter than the Webley holster.

Yeah it's shorter.
No gun to go in it yet, still looking for one.

So, has anyone done the mods on one of these?
I have one I want to convert but would rather not go first.

... Nothing personal to all you Star Wars fans, but honestly, how many times would you actually be able to wear that in public? At best, once a year at a Halloween costume party? Just to set this straight. And this isn't a flame, just making a point. For the most part the people that are into Star ...

Just to throw another log on the fire. Most here are looking for the exact look of a picture or film still that has been processed to h$ll and back again. For the most part the real item looks nothing like said images. As an example: When Episode 1 came out I decided to dye my hair the exact colour ...

Fabric.
When he's playing footsy with the German in the Truck and stomps on the gas you can see the fraid end of the lace.

Off the topic: during the entire truck sequence his gloves change form the yellow to the off white and back almost every cut.

If the price is with in reason I'd be very interested.

Division 6

I actually like this one a lot.
I prefer the Flying Boat to the Tri.

It has the Raiders feel as well as Tales of the Gold Monkey that always had a China Clipper.

Where can I get the file?

Division 6

The address doesn't seem to work.
If your looking for a repo the WPG are very nice.
and the come with a leather strap.

You can choke someone with it.

The costumed plane trip story is a long one needless to say the flight was delayed because of some small accessries on my costume that security thought could habe been explosives.

This was a week after the Collimbine (sp) HS incident.

From what others have posted and what happened with Prof. Fanara and I's jackets. There seemed to have been a week or so delay in delivery. Could be the shipping company, customs or the war or any combination of the 3 or something else. Also the computer at Wested had to be replaced from what I saw ...

Division 6

Thanks Dalexs.
It's a good start.

I would have watched the movie but I only have a DVD player.
My VCR and all my tapes where stolen from storage a few years back, but that's another story.

Well, I now have 4 bags sitting here waiting for the Grommets.
Anyone, Buller?

Division 6

That's Great!
Congradulations!!!

I just found out Mine (first one also) arrived at My friends house today.

But I'll have to wait a week or so to make the 2.5 hour trip to the B.A. to pick it up.

At least I know it's here.

Can hardly wait to start wearing it.

Cheers

Division 6

Gee, I try to read everything I can find before I ask a question.
Than again I enjoy doing the research.
It's kinda like Archeology that way.

I'd still like to know how many grommets are suppose to be on the sand bag.

I had done a post a few weeks ago on finding the Stanleys as an alternative Glove, then OBIKenny found some WL1130's around the block from my house at the Raley's Grocery store. All the stores in town got rid of their Wells-Lamont gloves almost over night. Everyone now carries Stanley or some other ...

Wel l if you do get it I suggest using paint thinner or acitone to remove the name inside.
Then rince with water.

I've done that with a flight suit and it removed the ink quickly.

Ther has been a lot of Swiss gear on the market in the last couple of years as well as Swedish.

Well, I went back to Walmart, No Joy.

Guess I'll have to make a hop over to the Bay Area in the near future.

Seems this silly little town I live in decided to change brands in the last week or so just before I started looking.

Prof. Fanara are you listening?

Division 6

I remember seeing that style or something very much like it in the Sportsman Guide Catalog a few months back.

One of the Surplus issues.
Nothing on the web site though, I looked twice.
