I have had a couple people question or should I say challenge me on my Indy knowledge on occasion... mostly casual conversation about the subject with people I already know don't have nearly the info and resources I do. So after one round of defending my stance and realizing it's just going to go ro...

Your Trash could be my Treasure.... I'm very interested.

That bottom jacket is from Overstock.com? Really? I just went over there after I saw this post you must have gotten the last one. Details sir... details on that coat.

Little OT but yeah Strider gave me his old bag and I use it every chance I get... thanks again for that bag man I love it to death! All I had to do was reinforce the strap holding the ring in and it was a quick fix to... then I had to pick up a Chicago screw from Lowes which was a quick fix as well....

DocIndyJones

Don't know if this is a good find or not. Don't think of myself as a pro or anything but it looks pretty close to me. It's 58.00 bucks, plus another 4.99 if you want the replica bullets, and for me 11.48 for shipping bringing it to a grand total of 74.46. Pretty good if you ask me. What do you all t...

DocIndyJones

Could you by chance walk through how and where you cut the barrel down, how you replaced the sight and what not as I will be trying to do this tomorrow afternoon in order to get ready for this weekend. Thank you in advance.

-Doc

DocIndyJones

Joe... Thanks for the offer... Strider came through in SPADES!!! Strider... man can't say thanks enough. Seriously. I got the bag and strap from you around 1:00am by I'd say 2:30am all the repairs where complete... that's how excited I was to have the bag. I figured the faster I fix it the faster I ...

Well after I won the hat I talked to Art out on the deck and told him I was interested in an Indy Fedora. I've ALWAYS since I was a boy desired one. He stated that he had never before attempted to make one and that he would try is best. He did an outstanding job. It's truly is a work of Art (pun int...

DocIndyJones

If you got it I'll gladly do repairs on it. And I won't even have to worry about shipping. I knew there was a reason I gave you that shirt and Idol.

Mk VII bag lying around or heck even something that could pass as a Mk VII to the untrained eye? Trying to get ready for Halloween and I sold all of my gear about a year ago to pay bills. And wouldn't ya know it my girlfriend FINALLY wants to be Tomb Raider for Halloween go figure right. So any help...

DocIndyJones

As in Tips how to go about trimming the brim? I mean is there somewhere I can go to make sure I don't screw it up? Do I trim it all the way around or just the sides?

Thanks for the input thus far.

-Brad

DocIndyJones

Okay guys I've had this hat for about two years. It's a custom made Art Fawcett fedora that I won on board the Queen Mary. I just never wear it because it doesn't seem "Indy" to me. When I wear it I feel more like a cowboy. WHAT'S wrong with it? Does it need to be trimmed? Rebashed? What? ...

DocIndyJones

Well the only reason I went with that hat size is because I was with Peter at Disneyworld and he tried on my Dorfman and it fit him so I figured we where the same size... and when his hat arrived at my house before I repacked it I tried it on to be sure. Now thinking back to my dorfman days I should...

DocIndyJones

:? Yeah I screwed it all up I should have not taken on the project to begin with and just let the proper people handle it. As I've just recentally learned from reading some of the above posts that is was after all not an orginal idea on my part and if I wouldn't have stuck my nose where it didn't be...

DocIndyJones

It was wonderful to talk to you again on the phone the other morning. I SO glad you finally received the hat. I was sweating it as the time went on... And not wanting to ruin the susprise I didn't want to say anything but with the United States Post Office after it leaves the US there is no way to t...

DocIndyJones

Okay Hem here goes nothing I'll try and answer them the best I can... Does it have a lustre or is it a flat color? Under the light it diffentally picks up the light and has a dark shine to it (don't know if that's really how to describe it though) Is it pounded thin or does it have a heft? I would h...

DocIndyJones

Um not really sure what your looking for as far as a discription Hem...? Ask me questions and I might be able to help. I know it 100% Beaver Brown felt, and it's super soft. Other then that what else would you like to know?

-DocIndyJones

DocIndyJones

Well as far as blocking it goes I mean I have to "set" the pinch in and fix the brim the way I want it to look it's just flat now. I put it on and was going to talk a picture of me but decided I looked more "Witness" Harrison Ford then "Indiana Jones" Harrison Ford and ...

DocIndyJones

I had the pleasure of joining some of the finest people this year on board the Queen Mary and during the "Fedora Lounge" dinner event there where prizes handed out much like during the "COW " dinner event. Well I ended up winning a $300.00 custom made fedora from Art Fawcett. So ...

"Thank all again for a great time, especially to some odd chap who kept muttering 9 of spades, a juice head but not dangerous, called himself a doctor or Doc had a friend with a flathead although I did not not notice, but then being British one would not mention it. He resembled a charactor fro...

I heard a rumor that you where going to a space on your site for Vintage Travel Labels at one time. Is that just a rumor I heard or is it true?

-Doc

DocIndyJones

So
I added the black ribbon to my fedora but I ran into a little problem. I pulled it as tight as I could around the bottom but theres a gap on the top.
The top of the ribbon doesn't sit flush like the brown one did. What did I do wrong?

-Doc

DocIndyJones

Come on guys the hats' called an Adventure Built I'm sure it can take alittle tossing around. All I know is when I get ready to order mine (which will be very soon... counting the pennies everyday)... It better be shipped in this! http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1062/3692184/7609680/100055280.jpg :...

DocIndyJones

So are there differtent handle lengths? To fit different size hands? What about something in the handle that still is stong like the spike but alittle more flexible?

-Doc

DocIndyJones

Is there anyway for a whip to be made so it doesn't have the solid handle? You know so it's all flexable? Had anyone ever done this? Can it be done?

-Doc

DocIndyJones

I won't wear my fedora with a dress.

-Doc

DocIndyJones

See personally I like the lines the sandpaper made... because I believe that they would appear like that after say sliding down a mountian or being dragged behind a truck. The lining lines I wasn't to happy with but they happened so oh well. I will do the whole jacket but I only did half to show the...

DocIndyJones

More comments please.

-Doc

DocIndyJones

Got bold this evening and decided that I wanted to attempt to distress my jacket. I only did half of the jacket so you can see the difference. Let me honestly know what you guys think. http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL168/1703306/3272080/64135522.jpg http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL168/1703306/327208...

DocIndyJones

I just got a brand new Cabela's Adventure Jacket from a very kind member here on the board. And I was wondering how much someone would charge me to distress it. I'll send it to who ever will do it and pay for the return shipping... I just want to know how much someone would charge me to do it. -Doc

DocIndyJones

That looks great... looks like it fits great... now what about that other jacket you where talking about? The one too big?

-Doc

DocIndyJones

I wasn't saying THIS was an Indiana Jones Shirt all I was saying was that a national mens magazine was saying "Safari" shirts will be in style this spring... and I'm sure we all have a selection of them in our closets is all.

-Doc

DocIndyJones

In the latest issuse of Men's Health (on sale at local newsstands) they have the "Spring Style Issue" where they cover the upcoming "Hot" fashions for men this Spring and it looks as if the Indy Shirt is one of those items as seen in the photos below. http://pic9.picturetrail.com...

DocIndyJones

Yeah that will be perfect just what I was looking for! I sent you a PM

DocIndyJones

Thanks Guys you all are cool.

Today is a milestone in my hopefully long and adventurous life. I turned 25 today. A quarter of a century old. At this point I found myself thinking alot about what I've done, the thinks I've been through, and the things I've still yet to accomplish. But also the thought that I have many years to go...

DocIndyJones

I thought you where refering to the Ra headpeice from Raiders. You where right with the google search it very well could be. And now that I think about it would the Headpeice make some cool cufflinks?

-Doc

DocIndyJones

The cufflinks are not motifs of Ra... I was watching the VHS closely (wasn't allowed to buy the DVD's... the release date so close to Christmas... but I already guessed the present and my girl told me it was the DVD's... but she still won't let me open them till Christmas...) anyway... the guys with...

DocIndyJones

Let me know what you guys think of this tie!

-Doc

DocIndyJones

This looks almost like the tie that Indy was wearing on the way to Napal in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's available from J Crew (our other Indy Gear source...lol...) for like $39.00. J Crew says it's silk and dry clean only... funny thing is I put it on my Christmas list just because I like the look...

I have had my brother searching for the last couple months for a jacket and better fedora then the one I have in his area... we are both rather big Indy fans... well he managed to find both of them the Jacket was a knock off brown leather Wested (he said it had a map pattern inside the jacket) he fo...

DocIndyJones

Quickly on the jacket topic... the reason it's really appealing to me is that I can get it NOW and don't have to wait for shipping. And unlike some people on this board and don't take offence to this because I'm not trying to be offensive to anyone, I really not a stickler for screen accurate this.....

DocIndyJones

Yeah that's what I ment.... Go to the web site have the shipping address be mine... the billing address yours (kind of like you where buying a present online) give me the money to ship them and away they will go.

-Doc

DocIndyJones

So you'll go to the website and order them with your card...and then have them shipped to me? And I pay to ship them to you? How much does that cost? Is that the idea?
