Hey, _!

How did you get access to my personal album!?

Ooops, I said "bum".

I threw a couple of stitches in there on both my jackets or I'd look like a duck, that way preventing the flaps from coming open when the jacket is zipped. :) It may be my body/posture in all, but I like the fit better that way when wearing either jacket (not grabbing for a gun or whip in daily wear...

I have two of them as of now, actually... One way up ahead far to much expensive as me being a thrid day tourist, and another more common one, both from Mexico naturally. I had to get one for a wedding in Cancún, and each time it struck me how much they all said "Indy", though more fancy i...

Cool combo! Now I "can wear both". $\:D/$

Update: Breaking it in as I go along. A couple of rains and it's conforming quite well. On the plus side, it's SO much lighter and will stuff a lot easier inside a pack than my goat one, meaning it comes along with me a lot more during the summer "in case" of colder weather. :) Now... Thin...

Well, mine were not interested enough.

I've had these for a while, Clarks "Rapple Breeze": http://image.rakuten.co.jp/sworld/cabinet/00251794/img57111635.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I have the ones in mahogany leather and they have darkened nicely with wear and some leather grease: http://clarks...

A couple of times, but only in the sence that someone who wears a close enough one pulls a sort of jealous expression.

Swindiana

Glad to hear it's working out for ya!

Thanks!

And sorry for my spelling of "what".

Yes, I copied and tweaked most of your list, to be honest VP.

Too bad, but hey.

Thanks for the comment!

Neat pack!

Wonder whay size it is...

Swindiana

Swindiana

Opinion taken and adapted. :TOH: After a few emails back and forth I'm leaving it ro rest now knowing "it's what it is". No meaning ](*,) It's still a great quality jacket no matter. Now... Time to start breaking it in... I think those clouds outside may be rainy ones... :-k Advise taken. ...

Swindiana

Got a reply, none the wiser. Basically the reply refers to making custom sized jackets and not pages of custom specs saying they can't alter patterns for each and every customer "as I well know". I wished they would have told me what wasn't doable as per "special requests" before...

Swindiana

My guess too, though it seemed kind of curious among the other measurements that were "off" making me wonder if it was an OTR jacket or not. Why not just leave the tag out since it was a custom order anyway?

No reply yet, I figure they might be closed for Easter.

Swindiana

That's a great jacket bro! Great fit!
Love how the sleeve wrinkles are coming along too.

Regards,
Swindiana

Swindiana

Tomek: I will. Dito! I surely can understand if the jacket is just too big. At least the torso fit is fine with mine. SJ: Now that gives me a third option... Sounds like the best and quickest way to distress it, let SJ talk the jacket into it. -Now, you go ahead and grab that rear bumper while I dri...

Swindiana

I contacted them and got a reply, and now I have contacted them again, waiting for a reply. The basic answer was "some specs are not possible without altering the pattern" though I can't see why most part of the missed ones would affect that in any way, plus why wouldn't they contact me pr...

Swindiana

Here's the list of the missed ones: Authentic Brown Lambskin, size "43 long" (not 44 as in the form) - The jacket is tagged with a "44". Sleeve: 70 cm, measured from edge of shoulder to first knuckle of thumb (other than order form) - Sleeves are 68 cm Collar stand: 2 cm wide/hig...

I'll be sure to post pics of the goat combined with the new lamb. ;) Got a Nikon D60 for my birthday, so what better way of testing it out? 8) I figured the goat was harder to distress, and I figured I might let this one distress more naturally. Why not try something new when deciding for a new jack...

Swindiana

Oh, authentic as usual. :) Haven't been around enough to be up to date on what's the best bang for the buck colorwise, but I really like the "auth" with my goat jacket. The auth lamb in comparison with goat back in the day was a notch different in "presentation" though the same s...

I folded over the excess lining and sewed some stitches that have held up ever since on my goat Wested of 2004. Here are a couple of shots of the repair: http://medlem.spray.se/larskalvemark/indygear/jacket/sleevefix/sleevefix1.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://medl...

So... I guess what these say is if you're going to pick up Blanco for waterproofing your Mk VII like during WWII, you're only allowed to use the one in powder form :D http://www.karkeeweb.com/patterns/1937/LoC/slung/html/ACI_1487.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://w...

Cookin' beans, Cuz.

Holt: Good to see ya too! Sure, I'll see what I can dig up, though I'd have to ask her first....

Oh, you mean the jacket!? That will not mind.

I'll get back to you friends.

Hi friends, hey guys!

After 7 years or so, i finally ordered my second Indy jacket. $\:D/$

It's a lamb one.

I'll let you know when it arrives!

Templar's explanation is what I've heard all along too.

Did anyone ever get a look at a screen used one?

Maybe there were both kinds... What were the real ones, if there were surplus old military belts used in Raiders?

Are you looking for one Erri?

Here's a shot of one from a recent thread:

All MkVII ones that I've seen shots of of the inside look like that and so did the two ones I once had. What does it look like compared to this one?

No pics, no camera. Sorry.

It's not Swedish, that I know. I believe Norwegian would be true. (Holt?)

The closest Swedish thing would be the m39 backpack I think:

Affirmative about it being Canadian. ;) I've had two Canadian ones before, one of them looking just like that but in a more sand color tone. The snap/flap anti-dimming case pocket and the shape of the vent is what most gives it away. (Oh, and the C as mentioned earlier, of course). Regards, Swindiana

Swindiana

I believe it was intended to hold de-fogging agent for the lenses of the gasmask :-k Sounds like a good explanation :tup: It was indeed: http://scandy.fortunecity.se/bagshots/imagepages/antidimmingkitbritisha.html http://scandy.fortunecity.se/bagshots/imagepages/antidimmingkitbritishb.html Centered...

Swindiana

Why not put a leather strap under the new one so that the leather can't be seen?

That should do it for another 10 years or so.

Regards,
Swindiana

Swindiana

I think that's an illusion from the soldiers wearing the bag on "backwards" where the flap folds over itself when wearing the mask. The snaps would be facing towards the chest when bag is closed.

If we're thinking about the same thing, that is.

To call the liquid 'reenactor' only is a bit of a misnomer.

Sorry about that, I was only quoting their stock.
