Years ago in England I bought a Mark Vi bag and I quite liked the back pockets. Gave you a place closer to your body where you could access without opening the main bag. I am with everyone on the cheap looking clips though. Do we know where this bag is made?

I am wondering if Steve's membership could be restored here and all his posts in the forums restored. It would be a nice tribute to him. Not sure if it's even possible actually.

I am just wondering if there is something special about Jos A Bank clothing? I bought this brand of shirt years ago at a thrift store - decent shirt but not sure of the the COW Indy connection to it.

I also like Mark's work but missed this one! Interesting how he said Raiders/Indy influenced his own choice of careers. Any word from anyone if Indy is carrying a gun in the new film?

I have a few original gas mask bags but was looking for one large enough to fit my macbook air. I found this one on US Wings site - larger than the indy bag but similar look although not screen accurate:

Funny you should mention this today. Years ago I bought a US wings Goatskin (USA made by Schott I believe). Exceptional quality. Beautiful leather. Built like a tank. And that was proved yesterday. I was racing to teach a class and the subway closed because of issues on the track. I was walking quic...

Great clip - thanks for sharing!

I found this thread quite interesting, so thanks for sharing. I was sorry to hear about your troubles in life - divorce and all, but happy other areas of your life are doing well. I also love the look of this jacket. If I might encourage you about the jacket pocket snaps. Years ago I did a TV story ...

Great shots! Love the passion for wearing the fedora. You really do stand out when you wear it. I am curious though Nebraska - did you find the hat to hat to be practical? I have a chance to teach in Egypt next January and I am wondering about headgear. I usually wear a cotton Tilley Hat which has s...

Hat looks great! what was the final take home price for this beauty (everything in)? I always liked the lineage of the HJ and I am happy they are producing a great looking hat again. Years ago, like many here, I visited the store and met Richard Swale. Nice guy, and I regret not buying a hat from hi...

Canada Jones

Great work Stefan! Outstanding photos and research. I look forward to more.

I thought the ad was very well produced - lots of great clips from all the films. I actually bought a jacket from Willabee and Ward years ago but it was a goat skin A2. As I remember it, the jacket was made by Cooper and not them so it seems to me that this is a mail order company and not actually a...

Canada Jones

So do we know if they did or did not find the actual block? and what of this facebook post?

Canada Jones

I too am left stunned by his passing. I met him years ago when I was teaching in England. I was originally put on to Wested Leather by Michaelson who told me about Peter's connection to the original jacket. It was not an easy place to get there because the subway did not go out that far - I had to t...

Canada Jones

I was wearing mine this morning thinking of how great a jacket it is. The purchase was, as with much of my gear, a result of great advice from Michaelson and the many great reviews here at COW and the connection with another COW member who had one for sale. Actually in the end I bought 2 of them fro...

Canada Jones

The Webley continues to be my least favorites. It just seems big and clunky.

Canada Jones

Wow. This is surprising. I wonder if there is another Indy movie if they will make it again. I have one (thanks to Michaelson's suggestions) and it really is a great jacket.
As it was said, an end of an era.

I say email him again. He got back to me the same day when I did... I remember when i ordered my hat from Delk. I had a couple emails back and forth. THEN it stopped. I tried a few times but still no reply..SO being smarter than the average bear I contacted him with a different email and in the hea...

This is strange to see this post here because I was looking some stuff up yesterday on Wikipedia and came across the same photo/link and was just coming here to post it and here it is already posted! Good eye. I thought it interesting that he was more interested in an American gun. Good luck in scho...

Canada Jones

Great thread. I always thought that Indy got his Browning from the bag but the point about him taking it from a guard outside makes much more sense. With a gun as heavy as the Browning, if he was going to carry it as a backup, then a shoulder holster would probably be more practical anyway and clea...

I own the SS goatskin jacket in brown and it is brown and no where near black. GREAT jacket and I got it from WINGS on sale for $195. US made by Schott. Quality and leather is OUTSTANDING. I wonder if you got one that was mislabeled. Call and see if they can send you a lighter brown one because it i...

Great looking book. I wonder if my university library would have it. thanks for the heads up

Canada Jones

Great looking leather but I could not justify the cost. Man, I hope you have it insured.

Hard to tell from the photos but it looks like a beautiful jacket. ALso, love how the photo was taken at the grocery store... Ah, the true life adventures! Yeah, he said he was cold, and wanted my jacket :) My wife was laughing how I spent all of last weekend doing housework while wearing it. From ...

Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Nice job and nice improvement. Is the hammer cut off on this gun?

and the food could be cooked on a Hibachi charcoal grill in the aisle....
The airline could also use Bob and Doug's saying as their slogan...."Take off eh!"

Or toques a la McKenzie brothers. (Not even the RCMP wear the "Mountie Hat" unless it's a ceremonial deal.) And I don't know what to call those things, I just know that no Fedora was ever made of pinstripe cloth. And sweater vests? Really??? Obviously an EASTERN Canadian idea . . . ;) Tho...

This things looks great. I will see if I can find this as well.

agreed. And there were such great sounds in Raiders - like the jungle at the start. unforgettable.

Canada Jones

Is that all there is in the book on Indy? That ricochet was one of the coolest sounds in the whole film IMHO.

Canada Jones

That is hilarious... I noticed the 5 cent drinks as well. I also noticed the lack of any kind of barrier on what I think is the Empire State Observation deck! Don't have too many of those nickel drinks or you might fall over!

WConly Wrote that "That Jacket Belongs in a Museum" ... that is exactly what I was thinking. I remembered seeing Claire Lee Chennault's (of Flyinging Tigers fame) A2 in the Smithsonian...Would be nice if this jacket were next to it.

Canada Jones

This is a great photo. I used some similar ones in my dissertation. Wish I had this one thought its a beaut!

Canada Jones

It really does look rather red. What kind of light were you in?

Beautiful hat!

He's not lying about it..

No, I did not since I have no idea what the other forum is you wrote about. Was this a proven allegation?

Thanks. As an aside, I love the Bermans and Nathans tag in the Relic Hunter....

Will that HH be available for the Relic Hunter?

First - thanks for answering my question about where the jacket is made. Second, I agree with Obi Sean Kenobi about the price being beyond the average buyer. It might be the best in the world but I am sure the cheaper horsehide you used to use would never wear out either and is probably a great leat...

Canada Jones

What makes it superior to the Horsehide being offered by Wild Bill for 600 Euros? Also can you confirm where this jacket is being made?
thanks
