My sister in law has a fitted leather jacket, with pocket flaps and side straps. It had some extra belting detail, but definitely Indy inspired. She didn't see the resemblance.

Lightning

Like how they imply Indy has one jacket despite pointing out the differences between film jackets? Or they say the Destiny jacket is the Raiders jacket, after pointing out how it was different than the Raiders jacket? The way I read that, LFL is saying that in universe Indy only had one jacket (whi...

Lightning

most noticeable thing is the leading edge of the stormflap is completely worn off. end of the cuffs is similar. the left pocket has way more loss than the right because I keep my earmuffs in there. Similarly, my right elbow has way more distressing than my left probably because I'm right handed. bac...

My Wested goat is 20 years old, all natural distressing. I can post pictures if that would be helpful.

Lightning

That's not just close enough, it's the same one. Just have to paint it. I spotted those back in 2020, guess I only posted it on the RPF. Really? This is the screen used flashlight? That's so cool! How'd you figure that out? Do you know of any good tutorials for painting these? I see that folks are ...

Don't see why they would need permission if they removed the logo. Lucasfilm bought the bags and can do whatever they want with them. If you ask permission then you don't need to remove logos. Its not even legally required, just a CYA, just in case. In TV its mostly to avoid accidentally advertising...

I've been looking for other options as well. I'm considering the Mercury 9211DC, but haven't bought it yet. I ordered one inspired by this thread. It came today, and it's a great looking knife and could totally pass for Indy's. My one reservations is: it's kinda big. I was imagining a pocket knife,...

looks a lot like a shoelace to me, just cut off the aglets.

How I have I (or any of us) never noticed the suede accents before? The brain really does see what it wants to.

This started out life as a Wallpaper Paste Brush, cut it down and had to dye the bristles, still not dark enough yet.
Final dimensions are 3 5/8" x 7/8" x 1 3/8", with 3 1/4" bristles.

By the way I just spotted this on the Crystal Skull desk they set up at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 2008 Summer Exhibition Grand Opening Reception.

My first thought was Sheaffer but haven't found a perfect match yet.

Lightning

get yourself an rubber ear bulb syringe, cut the end back to it seats snugly into the section (where you would stick the cartridge). **** and expel water through the nib, you can add a touch of ammonia if you like. Don't shake out the nib, put in a cartridge and stick the nib in a paper towel and le...

Are there any "close enough" modern fountain pens that convey the Indy film look? Ideally for less than several hundred dollars? One of my daily drivers is the Wing Sung 601. It's a modern clone of the Parker 51 vacumatic, a pen made from 1941 to 1947. And I have to say, replacing the dia...

In there Lightning suggested there might be a camera with the back open in the table in Indy's ransacked room. Well, I guess I should pop back in. You know, I'd never even noticed the shaving brush on the table before. Best part is I've started wetshaving and collecting shaving stuff in the last fe...

That's annoying, US customers can't shop online and the closest stores to me are at least 2 states away.

diameter of the lens housings is 2.5 inches. lenses themselves look to be 2 inches. the length of the binoculars fully closed is 6 3/16 inches. never have figured out how to recover these things with leather.

Lightning

I've been building a fountain pen collection over the past year. Currently I'm working on a representative collection of late 30's Sheaffer Balances. I'd like to point out that the Conway Stewart 36 makes a good stand in for the 58. It's a lower priced pen. The main cosmetic difference is the cap je...

either that or a Chinese knock off of one, can't remember which.

I'm glad somebody asked this question, I've been thinking of having the same thing done.

Lightning

Mine tends to end up on top of the napkin dispenser, when the table has one.

Lightning

A size smaller is just that, no foam involved. But as was said earlier, they fit snugger after bashing and seem to shink more after that. My Fed 4 that I got in October was loose out of the box, bashing and the foam made it fit and I'm already to the point where I need to take some of the foam out.

Lightning

Then there is the Mystery of the blues cardigan option of course, with the added benefit of being seen on screen.

I've done Indy a few years in a row, so I decided to go back to a new costume every year. Last year I was a Star Trek science officer, this year my friend and I are going to be Jake and Elwood Blues. My girlfriend says she'll go as a nun, to keep the theme going. I'm learning to play the harmonica f...

As to the screen accuracy of my pair, there's some distortion due to differing focal lengths of lenses in the comparison shots. I think they are more accurate than they look. Glad you found a pair with the leather intact. Mine was entirely missing the pieces near the lenses and the body pieces were ...

After making due with Kakhi for years, I stopped by the PX the other day. As a civilian I can't shop at the PX proper, but in the same building there was store that sold current issue military gear.

If anybody still wants screen caps to do an independent analysis, MOTB is the next episode for me to watch. I can have caps up sometime this week, I hope.

Lightning

I've got a Wested, and I think my straps are shorter, but I the stick out problem also. What I did was take a bit of the excess black elastic from my grail diary and put a loop through with the buckles. It's a belt loop and it holds everything flat. Not screen accurate but it keeps everthing neat.

I've got a 10 foot cowhide and I get a 1/4 inch blister/callus at the base of my ring finger and a smaller one at the base of my middle finger.

I haven't had any trouble in Austin so far, but then, I don't actually practice that much. Plus I can use my back yard, which is just barely big enough. I didn't have any luck with an online search for local whip laws. I seriously doubt it's ever come up, I suppose if I ever increase my activity I o...

Lightning

I was unsure at first, but I voted yes. I'm sure there will be a midnight showing around here somewhere and I'll definately wear full gear to that.

Lightning

I think it's got to have something to do with getting stuck on that tank barrel in LC. It remains to be seen if it will actually come up in dialoge.

Lightning

Oh, yeah. I remember that thread now, Lightning. The matching shots with the screencaps were great. Your's looks screen accurate enough to me. What was the make of them? Colmont? What did you mean by FT Paris? Is that the model or something? The only identifying marks are the words "COLEMONT F...

Here's the thread on my pair that looks accurate to me.

lightning do you have a better pic than that ( closer). That's the size of the image from the screen capture, any bigger just gets blurrier. Using the magnifing glass in the DVD software yielded better results than using photoshop to blow it up, but you can't get screen caps of enlargements. Anyway...

The closest we get to cigars on screen is the Cigar box that Marion uses to store her money in the Raven. You could theorize that Marion has that box because her dad smoked those cigars and you could further theorize that Indy smokes the same kind as his mentor, thus whatever that brand it is could ...

Hemingway: Thanks, I appreciate that.

VP: I think the size difference in the 3rd picture is a combination of the fact that mine is a close up shot and the original is taken from a distance, and that I have narrower fingers than Harrison Ford so that I can never cover as much space on the body as him.

Ok, it's been 5 months, Sorry about that.
