I finally received the second half my refund the other day.

It was just under a year since I placed my order. How exhausting.

Lesson learned.

Gents, I've sent King Nothing several e-mails since my last post on this thread. He has yet to reply to a single one. I've been requesting a refund since November 21. I've heard tales of him refunding money to other members here, so I'm not sure why I've been passed over. If you haven't already, rea...

Indiana_Jonesing

No news. King Nothing had agreed through PMs we exchanged in September to have a finished prop gun to me by November 22, 2008 or I would have my money refunded through PayPal on 11/24 -- the following Monday. Not only did I not receive the gun (or any word from KN), but I'm still trying to obtain my...

And that puts a whole different paint job on it, Tollan. Like I said, I only have the "old" goat (purchased in the summer of 2003). It's broken in, but it's like "breaking in" a tank . . . How beat up does a tank really get? I could live with the uncharacteristic drape by itself....

Indiana_Jonesing

TCS, I concur with the other posters -- the quality of this jacket is outstanding. I've owned my G&B goat for over 5 years now, and it's stood the test of time. And while the details regarding pocket placement and overall measurements are right on the money, I don't think the jacket is as screen...

Indiana_Jonesing

This is ridiculous, and no one should be afraid to say so. KingNothing isn't doing us a favor here, folks -- making props for fans in his free time out of the goodness of his heart. We're paying customers who deserve what we paid for and were promised. He's got the money but he isn't delivering the ...

Indiana_Jonesing

I, too, would love to hear about (or better yet SEE) how the G&B LAMB ages over time. I've got a G&B goat and I wonder if I made the right decision all the time. It's been over four years now. . .

Anybody?

Beautiful looking jacket, Weston.

What size did you order your Todd's in, and what size do you usually buy off the rack?

Best,
-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

VERY Helpful, Red. Thanks!

Any other opinions, gents? Screen accuracy?

I've dealt with Noel Howard many times in the distant past. Does he currently have a website or contact number?

Best Regards,

Indiana_Jonesing

Greetings All, I need some feedback. There has to be a fairly straight-forward answer, too: What is the most accurate offering (both in the details/measurements AND color) when it comes to Indy's RAIDER'S holster, gun belt and bag strap (and this includes the look of the strap buckle and the whip ho...

Indiana_Jonesing

Great watch indeed. I purchased one of these for each of my groomsmen last November. I don't think any of them have ever taken them off since, so if that's any testimony of their quality and appeal, let it be known! The overall presentation of the watch is nice but yes, the movement is quartz . . . ...

Indiana_Jonesing

I'm right around the corner in West Chester, gents. We've got to get together in person to compare some of these jackets.

I've got a FS goat and would love to do some comparisons. I'm considering a Todd's Standard.

Regards,
-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Thank you all for your responses. _ - I’m MORE than willing to give the machine wash a try. And I really do love this jacket. It just doesn't seem to drape and age like Indy's. Although the leather is softer and more broken in than when I purchased it, it still has an elastic-like property. In addit...

Indiana_Jonesing

Greetings. I need some sound advice and guidance regarding an Indy Jacket and which leather, in particular, to choose. I’ve owned a FS Goatskin for over 4 years now. I love the jacket. It’s EXTREMLY well made and durable (almost too much so). In addition, I’m satisfied with the details in relation t...

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey guys.

Has anyone ordered a pair lately? I'm trying to see if they're still arriving with the creases down the center of each leg.

Thanks so much!

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Guys, your hats look fabulous! Lee's fedora has certainly improved! Thanks for the comparison photos. They really help. The block really looks to have gotten better in regards to shape and overall look. ITG, those shots of you, Jeremy Bullock and Bonnie Maree Piesse look great too. Were those taken ...

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey Rundquist, I know this was probably touched on before, but were the differences between Lee's 'old' fedora offering and 'new' offering ever outlined? I remember reading a good few months ago that Lee upgraded his Indy hat. And if I remember the pictures I saw correctly, it looked fabulous. I'm i...

"Ya can't put a phaser or hand-link communicator into a Star Wars display, but a weathered pocket watch, or magnifying glass fit quite nicely amongst the Gear." Right on the money! Not only that, but you can't just wonder into an antique shop and find a lightsaber. The items and artifacts ...

Indiana_Jonesing

Well said. It's much of what I've both believed and preached for a long time, Gater. Who here among us would have purchased an MKVII bag if not for the Indy Films? It would just be another olive drab, canvas purse hanging by the hundreds in military surplus stores across the world. I'm getting a pai...

Indiana_Jonesing

Good call in regards to wanting to see a timepiece, Michaelson. I'm RIGHT there with you. Only I must admit that I'm some-what dreading the day that it's shown on screen and properly identified. Every fan and his brother is going to want the same make and model. We’ll all be scouring eBay and the li...

Indiana_Jonesing

Either variety comes with the crease. I've even called to try and see if they can ship them out before "creasing" them, but that was a no-go as well. We're stuck with the crease until they decide to change back to no crease again . . .If ever. I've had my newer, creased versions for over a...

Indiana_Jonesing

Hi. You might find the medium a tad tight, especially if you want to button the top button and wear it with a tie (Doom and Crusade style). Still, I suppose it depends on how you like to wear your shirts. I share your measurements, roughly, and the medium works well for the Raiders look (sleeves rol...

Indiana_Jonesing

Great stuff. I guess I just wanted to see how many other Indy Gear heads out there were mistaken for other people with the gear on – whether it be a shirt, hat or all the stuff at once. Make no mistake; the occasional comments don’t stop me from wearing the stuff. I love my gear and wear it proudly....

Indiana_Jonesing

I mix and match too! I was wearing it with a tie. NOT very Croc. Hunter if you ask me.

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey Gang. I’m just writing to see how many of you get a “Crocodile Hunter” remark from friends, co-workers or random passer-byes any time you wear your Noel Howard Indy shirt out? I’m curious, I suppose, because it happens to me a lot. “Hey, I like the shirt.. Very Crocodile Hunter!” Or “Hey, it’s t...

Indiana_Jonesing

I’ve got to throw this in, guys. I have owned several pairs of the taupe L.L. Bean “Indy” style pants, in varying styles over the last few years. Yes, I love them and yes I get a lot of wear out of them. Still, after recently ordering a pair of Noel Howard "Raiders" pants, the Bean version...

Indiana_Jonesing

Wool will shrink like the best of ‘em. It's got a pension for it! Be careful.

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Thanks for writing, Dr. Blank. Unfortunately, Dalexs JUST beat you. He got to me via instant message and has already sent the funds via PayPal.

If I should ever be in the position where I need to sell off some FE again, you'll be the first guy I contact.

Thanks, guys.

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey guys. As we know, Halloween is approaching. To prepare, I ordered some Fuller’s Earth to safely distress my hat and jacket, and give my costume the “Indy” edge only a tub of fake dirt can help achieve. I ordered two 1.5-pound containers of the stuff, thinking I was getting one 3-pound container ...

Indiana_Jonesing

Nice find! I'll be at Nordstrom tonight anyway! I’ll have to check these out. Was there a taper to the pants? Did they have a permanent crease? Were the bottoms cuffed? Did they have double outward or inward facing pleats? THANKS! And sorry about all the questions, but I’m excited about the prospect...

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey guys. Give this link a day in court: http://www.menswearhouse.com/home_page/guys_guide/gg30_main.jsp?bmUID=1033665165139 To the right of the screen you'll see "How to tie a tie". Click on it and you’ll have the opportunity to view "moving" examples of several necktie knots, a...

Indiana_Jonesing

Thanks, Rixter. Yes, that made perfect sense. I appreciate you taking the time to respond so thoroughly. I love details.

Yeah, wouldn't this all be so much easier and less expensive if we were all trying to dress like the Hovitos, instead of Jones?

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey Rixter, Do those Orvis pants come in boot cut? And do they have that terrible PERMENANT crease line in them that the LL BEAN chinos have now adopted? A yes and a no here in that order and Orvis will have a new customer! Oh yeah, and how does the Orvis taupe compare to the Bean taupe? Thanks a lo...

It helps BIG TIME! Thanks, Sergei!

Hey guys. I replaced my cracker a few days ago and had no problem doing it. It pulled it tight and looked just like the demonstration “end result” on the David Morgan site. Last night, however, the fall broke near the cracker and I now have to put a new cracker on, since it was too dark to find the ...

Indiana_Jonesing

I like what I see. Keep up the good work.

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

I'm glad I could help.

It's d@m addicting, my friend. I took my Bernie 8-footer out again last night and cracked until I couldn't any more! The whip looks and performs better each time . . .As do I, I hope.

I love my whip!

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Rod, I purchased an 8-foot “Indiana Jones Style” bullwhip from Bernie around this time last year and he was more than a pleasure to deal with. His e-mails were timely and pleasant, as he always answered the barrage of questions I would hit him with, and his prices were great for the quality he produ...

Indiana_Jonesing

This stuff is grand! I know exactly what you mean about the time it takes to swab down a leather jacket with the standard stuff, and the cramped fingers that are inevitability afterwards. I just recently started to use the gel, and let me tell you, it’s been a pleasure to work with. I “christened” a...

Indiana_Jonesing

I couldn’t wait . . .I just purchased a tub of the Brown Weatherproofing! The prospects were just too enticing to wait any longer. I do have a question for Michaelson and the Pecards experts, though. I remember it being written, several times, that once a particular type of leather dressing was used...

Indiana_Jonesing

Great news! Thanks for the post, Michaelson. I just got a tub of the Jell, but when next I place an order, I'll definitely add this "tinting" lotion to the batch. Thanks, Pecards. -Jonesing. Oh, and I seem to remember a few posts where folks were trying to darken their holsters . . .Yet an...

Indiana_Jonesing

Great stuff! I just unearthed one of my grandfather's watches. It's at least 60 years old and I wanted to use it for my “Indy” watch. I was preparing to take it to a timepiece repairman to have it cleaned and set very shortly. Luckily, I’ll now know to always keep it running. Thanks, Michaelson! -Jo...

Indiana_Jonesing

Good lookin' out, Pyroxene.

I'm off to Bostonian.

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey Other_Jones, where'd ya get the laces, my man. Looks great!

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

No offense taken at all, Michaelson. I knew exactly what you were saying. It was my pleasure to add (or re-affirm) something to this forum that's given me so much in return.

I appreciate the compliments and tip my fedora back at you.

High Regards,

-Jonesing

Indiana_Jonesing

Thanks, Rabittooth. I certainly wasn’t trying to take credit for “finding” these gems, but hadn’t known about them myself and thought they’d be a great pair of Indy pants! Nothing is undiscovered anymore, especially in this hobby, so I figured that someone else had stumbled upon them, which is why I...

Indiana_Jonesing

Hey Gang. I don't know if anyone else here has stumbled upon these, but here's a link to L.L. Bean's "Year-Round Wool Trousers". They're not the "Dress Chino" NH substitute pants that most here go for (I have a few pairs myself) but they are a wool alternative. And I know that th...

Indiana_Jonesing

I gave mine several coats of Pecards. Then, this weekend past, I left it out in the sun for a day and a half. It darkened up beautifully. I'm gonna give it another coating of leather dressing and sun it some more, but if you're looking for a natural color change, this is the way to go. Best of luck....
