Ratz... missed it, and need that size!

BwanaJohn

Since I've started paying attention to the details of the hat this very short moment of the rafting sequence has bugged me...maybe it's this hat? :-k http://www.losbastardos.de/download/pics/teardrop_temple.jpg Was going to post my Flood Damaged Christy's but this is very close (plus this water's c...

BwanaJohn

A lot nicer than the "Water Treatment" my Christy's received back in June. Having a lot of my "Archives" stored in our basement/Rec Room, our area received 7" of rain in Two Hours! The Storm Sewers could not handle the amount of rain, (etc.!), and backed-up through our Floor...

It's interesting that there are such negative reactions to their Indy jackets, when the Rocketeer and Mad Max jackets get okay reviews from the fans. Well, the MM jacket itself gets good reviews. The shoulder armor on the other hand. :-0 Russ First I heard of Southbeach, was when looking for the MM...

Call us, Call us!

Glad I'm on the list, thanks to all involved for this info.!

BwanaJohn

Received mine last month, glad to see how it should hold-up after a year!

BwanaJohn

At the end of filming "Crystal Skull", Harrison gave Shia one of his hats, the inside is signed as such: "It's All Yours, Love Harrison", Hopefully, he just meant the hat itself. Considering what the one at the auction went for, he better hang on to it!

I had that problem, twice, when purchasing The Thompson "Chicago Typewriter". First problem, the stock would not attach to the frame, so it was sent back. The second one arrived with a badly cracked barrel. Sad, because it was very realistic, now they are no longer made. There is another v...

I'm very happy with The Todd's 72", as it sits perfectly to where it was usually worn in the film (both the bag placement and buckle location). It was also shipped to me the same day I phoned the order-in, so it arrived fast...

BwanaJohn

The material is as durable as any Military Issued Items I carried years ago. The strap is very well made and accurate to color IMO. As I'm new to this, I'm sure there are different opinions, but it will work for me, and my limited "Mad Money"/Budget.

I missed this interview, thanks for sharing it!

BwanaJohn

Received it yesterday, they actually sent the 72" instead of the 65", so buckle sits perfectly!

Working on it, can't find the Flash Powder...

BwanaJohn

Just watch if some "American Idol"-Type Geek starts wearing The Indy look, you'll hear about it everywhere as being "Cool". As Rodney Dangerfield used to say: "No wonder tigers eat their young!"...

BwanaJohn

Received the hat last week, and have enjoyed wearing it, mostly Back-Yard Excursions so far!

BwanaJohn

Thank you for the information...I'm looking forward to getting some "Hands On" with this gear!

BwanaJohn

Just ordered a Todd's MK VII with a 65" Strap (as I'm 6' Even), I heard somewhere that I should of ordered it with a 72" for Correct Buckle Placement. I know there's better ones, but as with My Christy's, just watching the Mad Money for now. As this will be used for actual hauling of stuff...

BwanaJohn

Received my Christy's "Adventurer" today, very happy with it...

BwanaJohn

Cool Footage, they have the rarest stuff on The Tube...

BwanaJohn

Thank you for your responses, just got it out of the box, and before I attempt "Da Bash", tried it on...Fits Great! Now to figure out what's the next piece of gear (after a New Dishwasher, Home, Car, and Business Insurance Payment, Taxes, etc.)...Man, Glad I bought this when I did!

BwanaJohn

While waiting on my hat from Hornet's, I came across a post stating a possible Sizing Difference on the "Adventurer" being sized/made on the small side. I've always ordered a 62 when dealing with manufacturers overseas and never really had a problem. Has anyone come across this problem wit...

BwanaJohn

Wow, and to think I 'm still waiting on my Christy's, Wait, Harrison wears a 7 1/4, ####, wouldn't fit!

BwanaJohn

Ordered The Sable One just under a month ago, hope to receive it soon, then on to find a jacket (maybe)...

BwanaJohn

I was on their "Waiting List" for it, but since I put an offer on a house tonight, maybe it's a Good Thing, but if it doesn't go through, I'm not waiting 90 Days for my First Indy Jacket, I'll be researching them, again this weekend and buying one (My First "Official" One)... :sh...

BwanaJohn

and I just wanted to "Borrow It" for the benefit of us all...well, what's in Chicago?

BwanaJohn

That's why I like this club...Great Research Photos!

BwanaJohn

Thank you. So much for solving these Jacket Disputes...on to the next arguments!

BwanaJohn

Is there, or is there not, a Screen Worn Jacket from an Indy Film (also a hat and whip) on display at The Smithsonian? Last time I checked it was still in Washington...Thank you.

BwanaJohn

Being new to this club, I never heard of The Turn either (as I'm sure a lot of members didn't who sat in the theatre in 1981), that's why I find a lot of these postings informative. As long as my hat doesn't arrive "SA" from the scene of Indy swimming to the plane, I'll be happy!

BwanaJohn

I emailed Hornet's tonight, just to see how it's coming along. Not sure if this was an "In Stock" Item or not (with the Bow Issue, doesn't sound like it), but since it's being shipped to me, in The Midwest, probably will be awhile...

BwanaJohn

Checked out your Scrapbook Page, very cool...!

BwanaJohn

Received an Email today stating when they have a Production Date for these, they will let us know. Hopefully, it'll be before weather here hits The 90's....

BwanaJohn

Very Cool Pics, thanks for posting another Great Source for me when I win the lottery!

BwanaJohn

If they won't cover The Shipping, measure it*, and post it on an Auction Site...Myself, I had problems with one Auction Site, unrelated reasons ("E"), but you may be able to sell it, and get your costs back. *A lot of buyers on auctions sites always want all the dimensions of items...

BwanaJohn

Just starting to work on my Indy Archives, but that ToD, for that price , may be worth the wait. If it's close to how the photo looks, that Distressed/Finish- look has sold me!

BwanaJohn

Just found the commercial on "You Tube", under "Indiana Jones Jacket Commercial 1991", was manufactured by a "Willabee and Ward". Yeah, already did a search, they're still around, but their jacket isn't. Pricing was kinda steep back then, now I remember why I didn't get...

BwanaJohn

While I await my hat from "Across The Pond", I continue to research the other items to start building my Indy Archives. As the jacket is my next purchase (my Marcus Brody Museum Budget is limited to one for now), I recall a commercial for an Indiana Jones Jacket sold in The Early '90's on ...

BwanaJohn

Hopefully after a few more Hundred are ordered she'll catch on...("Indy Who?")

BwanaJohn

A nice "Stingy Brim", trouble is never find anything like that in my size (62). I heard Harrison's/Indy's was a 7 1/4???

BwanaJohn

There's an Army Surplus Store I haven't visited in 15 Years, I recently started working next door to it, since I've just started building my Indy Archives again...thanks for the inspiration!

BwanaJohn

I saw an "Omega" that was manufactured in the 1930's, with a Rectangular Shape/Face, it was one of the most popular during that time. Looks like something Indy would of worn...
(I remember what they were selling The "James Bond" one for a few years ago!).

BwanaJohn

Did this with "The Perfecto" Motorcycle Jacket back in the day, should of saved it, as "Mutt" would of loved it! Now to start searching for The Indy one, you'll see my name on a few of these blogs, as I research this...

BwanaJohn

Great, just came across this posting, and looked-up the site, man, there is a lot of Nice Hats out there...Does anybody else have to hear "Well how many do you need?"...? My answer?, "I have just BEGUN to collect Indy Gear!"...

BwanaJohn

Thanks to everyone and their info. I did actually request a different bow when I ordered, the girl there said they usually don't customize the bows, but she would see if they could do it (I had seen a "You Tube" Video on this). I do have other hats in my Movie Archives, including a Akubra ...

BwanaJohn

New to the club and site...Researched the hat, I found Christy's, so-far looked the best for the price. Just starting my Indy Wardrobe Archives, so have to watch the money for now. Just ordered it Saturday, so looking forward to attempting "The Bash". The Dead Sea Scrolls are at our local ...
