OK. Yeah, I know it's been posted but it was a while ago and in other threads. This particular gun looks absolutely real and a cop would be justified in shooting someone if they ever waived it about. I still think the QM post should have a big warning for all (especially out of staters) about our su...

WOW! I just saw this. Todd, very nice in getting these guns. I do not wish to be a wet blanket but I must point out something that folks my try. PLEASE CHECK YOUR STATE LAWS Here in California while legal to own a replica gun, it is very illegal to "brandish" it. Brandishing is a very subj...

Yeah, I just received the corrected size Coyle's boots today.. much better fit. Since Todd does not currently carry 1/2 sizes I went for a "10" which is an 8. They are about an 1/8 bigger in the toe but I'm not complaining.. My Aldens were starting to get a little tight. (feet continue to ...

I'm 5'8" and wear a Todds large. Fits me perfectly :tup: Keep in mind that you should not wear your pants at your hips but at your waist or at least between hip and waist. As Agent5 pointed out, $50 for a great Indy shirt is bargain. You mention shirts at you local store... well if you want a t...

Do a test on a (very) small area, say the bottom hem 1/2 inch. Let it stand for a few hours then clean as normal. One should always try small tests before committing on the whole enchilada..

Glycerin comes in bottles from 8 oz to 1 gallon from any drug store. It's a clear thick liquid that you can mix with distiled water. Use distiled water due to minerals and other containments in most waters. A 50/50 mix is a good start. Do a test, say a few tea spoons worth at first till you get the ...

I would say they are identical if not just a tad lighter in weight. You have to consider the sole/heal is thick leather and cork with a rubber heal tip. That is a lot of the weight. The leather is a tad.. and I do mean a tad thinner but still in the quality build side of things. I think they may wea...

I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered an 8D. Tried them on today and they were too small. If there were an 8E that would fit better. The sizing may be off; ie the boots may read 8 but are a 7... not sure if they are using US sizing. On a very positive note, they are well built and look great :tup: I put them u...

opps, I just reread the thread and found the answer. I do have one question though, what is your shirt size?? Med or Large?

Cheers,

Any one think that maybe the jacket was designed to be more "generic" for marketing? After all, we know that this Indy film is (has) been(ing) blitzed with new products. We know that some of the costume will be marketed so I think they (the designers) thought a more "functional" ...

Nice jacket Peter. I used to ware a blue denim in the 80's and wished then I could find a brown one, top that with the Raiders cut and hot darn you have a winner. It'll tide me over till I order my lamb..

I was self conscience for about a week and during that time I "heard" a lot of comments... "Hey Indy!" "Oh look, he thinks he's Indy" or simply "Neat hat". Once I wore it like one wears shoes ie, with no thought at all, the comments changed to "Hey, nice ...

I had bought the Stetson Temple hat in 1984. Then in 2003, I upgraded to a PB and bought Aldens that same year. Now have the jacket, pants (Wested) and shirt (fan made) and three MKVIIs. Still working on the whip :wink: I find that birthdays and Christmas were the best for Indy gear. :) Cheers, Jeff

I just noticed the snap at the top AND bottom of the jacket

Hey all, I'm in need of a new pair of soft toe work boots. I have Alden's but I need something thats more comfortable. First, I ware them all day so I need light and comfortable. Second I use chemicals so I need durability and third, non slip. I like the look of Alden's so they can look like them. I...

Never having gone to WDW I can't be of help but welcome to COW and it sounds like you're off to a fantastic start. I owned only the Stetson Indy from 1984 when I joined,

so you came prepared.

Welcome to the mad house Tony. Hang your lid pull up a chair have a pint and relax.

Yes, a non steel-toe would be great. I'm getting to the point of getting a new pair of Alden's but a good close enough would be a welcome addition. Good work Zeus

Man I love the Dr Who jacket. Did Peter make the jacket for the show?

I ware my boots every day. They're the only shoe/boot I own right now. I had a pair of Doc Marttins that lasted me ten years with major abuse. I'll end up buying a new pair of Aldens for when I go some place nice and ware the every day ones the rest of the time.

I bought the "red" Aldens and use the Kiwi Brown shoe polish once a month. I Pecard them once a year just befor the "rainy season" with the brown. Over all they look nice and brown but I too have a problem with the heal section discoloration. My biggest complaint is the skin of t...

I think Peter does or did have an IJ jacket keychain he gave out at the last QM Event. My memory is fuzzy right now so if some one who was there chime in that would be nice.

I would not do this more then you did. If you want it looser, zip it up put it in a dryer bag and use AIR only for several cycles.

The goat I bought from Perter is butter soft and drapes just like the lamb. As for weight, I compared it to the lamb and it is a tad heaver but just. I have an old cow skin that feels like a lead weight compared to the goat. The more I wear my goat the more I love it.

Well it depends on seveal things. First, does it get cold or stay warm where you live? Second, are you planning on wearing your jacket all the time (weather permitting)? Third, do you have to have it "drape" exactly like the film virsion? So you know, I live in So Cal which stays warm. I b...

Zip it up, put it in a laundry bag and throw it in the dryer. Set it on AIR/NO HEAT and tumble it for a few days. I did 8 cycles a day for 4 days. My goat loosed up nicely. It's not weathered but just looser and drapes better
