What's wrong with the original dark brown goat? I thought that is a good choice of leather to go with. Why's Wested recommending Cowhide instead? :? Have anyone read this article on The Age, an australian news site: The best reference site - www.indygear.com - revealed the secret that had been eludi...

Oops! Indiana James, you're right!! It was Airborne Express. I get confused because the Airborne Express courier in my area sometimes gives their packages to USPS to deliver to my place. Don't ask me why. But you're right, it was in an Airborne Express box. :oops: Cabinetman, almost missed your post...

indy_den

SAB, Yep, I meant I didn't get a tracking no. for the package either. It came via USPS I think and the only email I got from Peter is this one: Your order no 2807 has been processed for production Cheers Peter But don't worry, it WILL get to you. I know the wait is intolerable, but we all went thru ...

indy_den

There's no tracking no., but you may get a courtesy email from Peter when your order is being processed (i.e. sent to manufacturing). But I'm sure you can always email Peter about it.

indy_den

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

indy_den

It was about 3-4 weeks for mine, ordered in the beginning of September, got it near the end of Sept. Cheers

Rocketeer was a really good movie set in the 1930s with an all-star cast such as Timothy Dalton and Jennifer Connelly, though it never got the recognition it deserves. Anyhow, that's a great-looking jacket and I have not seen one person wear a jacket like that to date. So yea, you'll definitely be t...

indy_den

Magnoli, what an excellent comparison picture! :D This is what I wanted to see, a direct comparison between the Alden 405 and the JCrew (before and after darkening). I used the brown Kiwi shoe polish on my JCrew as well and the results were immediate. It darkened right away. The shoes are stiff out ...

indy_den

Nice jacket there! It's good to see a Disney IJ jacket up close, just for comparison's sake. Looks like they got the main details the same as a Wested.

indy_den

How could I've missed out on this conversation?!

indy_den

I believe I will be going with the "stone" color myself. If needed, I can always attempt to dye it a few shades darker. Does anyone know if all the colors are back-ordered until the 27th of October? RonC, only the "Tan" color shirts (all sizes I think) are back-ordered until Oct...

indy_den

Sergei, thanks for your info. I'm still waiting for LL Bean to restock their shirts and get one out to me. So most likely I won't have it until November. Like what you've said, I sure hope that the color comes out closer to stone than dark khaki. But since they don't offer their shirts in stone anym...

indy_den

BDJ, that color resemblence is almost uncanny. May I ask where did you find the suit from? Do you have a link? That's a good taupe color! Thanks for the pics.

indy_den

Welcome Randy, you'll enjoy the company here. Like another member said, you're among like minds here.

Anyway, I use the Kiwi brown shoe polish on my JCrew and it did darken it quite a bit. I like it.

indy_den

Just ordered my catalog online... Their Raiders jacket sure looks like one that I got recently from Target (Cherokee brand). Especially the pocket zipper. But I really like their A-2s. Thanks for the link Michaelson!

indy_den

Hey Guys, I got my first ever Wested last week and I'm loving it... but as expected, PBB strikes again! Just for comparison of notes, my bill amounts to: U.S. CUSTOMS DUTY (EST.) $13.68 DISBURSEMENT/ADVANCING OF FUNDS $7.50 TOTAL: US$21.18 As you guys have all mentioned before in another post, I sha...

indy_den

Flathead, thanks for the info. Really helps out as a history lesson to me. I have seen the A-2 jacket mentioned over and over but I didn't know what it was. Now I understand. So is possible that the Indy jacket was modeled after the A-2? Thanks!

indy_den

Is it just me or are all the jackets that all these companies are selling now look more and more like Indy jackets?? For instance, look at this one that LL Bean is offering in their new catalog:

indy_den

Thanks for all your suggestions guys, I might just fold it up. Ha! My question was kindda going against all natural instincts to distress the jacket by getting it dirty... ergo dusty. I was just wondering if I can use one of those plastic covers over my leather so that it looks like it's packaged up...

indy_den

Pschtyckque, the 1130 that I've got has the elastic band on the front. Sorry I don't have a picture of it handy right now but from this official picture from Wells Lamont's website, you can see the elastic band which is similar to mine. Except, the color of my pair is not that yellow, it's the same ...

indy_den

Never put plastic over the jacket for storage (per Peter Botwright), as it will make the leather sweat. I want to keep my Wested dust-free but... according to Peter, those plastic covers are bad for leather jackets, so does anyone use anything else to keep your jacket dust-free? What are the conseq...

indy_den

Just got my new Wells-Lamont 1130 today at the Walmart down in Long Beach for 8.33 plus tax which comes out to 9.02. My pair looks exactly like Pyro's new 1130 pic. The color, stiching and style looks exactly the same. They are pretty comfortable. The tag says Wells Lamont Grips, grain cowhide leath...

indy_den

Sergei, thanks for the link!

Sorry if this question has come up before in another post... hehehe, guess we're not too good at looking very hard.

indy_den

Paul, thanks for taking your time out to reply everybody's post. Your whips look great! Seriously! I got those pictures thru screen captures of the movie trailer itself. I didn't know the Underworld one's yours too. How cool is that? I was beginning to think that the Indy whip is starting to seep in...

Let me attest that I was out on an air force base a while back and the desert wind there was really gusting. Now at 6am in the morning, that wind was blistering cold and add the wind chill factor to it, it was miserable. So you'll really want to cover every exposed skin on your body, including the b...

Thought that pictures may spice things up...

And about the handle...

indy_den

agent5, you took the words right out of my mouth!

I have been contemplating that very same thought myself. If anyone knows any website that have instructions on how to wrap it, I would like to know too.

indy_den

Sergei, that's a really good looking briefcase you've got there! Sure looks like the one in LC. I'm a little behind in my history of the Indy briefcase, do we know who made the original for the movie? Is it Swayne, Adeney? Or do they sell similar replicates? Was there a scene with the briefcase in R...

indy_den

How to justify it? You shouldn't try to justify it, like me, I just acknowledge that I do indeed have a problem and I need to conscientiously take note of my actions. That is to own up to it and take responsibility for it. Enough big talk, now I must confess that I do have more than one leather jack...

Hey I saw that too when I first received it... I was thinking that perhaps the Indy Gear forum has gotten thru to the execs at Cabela, considering so many of us bought their tan shirt (that shirt is on backorder). It does look like an Indy jacket, even down to the pockets I believe.

indy_den

FYI. I found a Cherokee (Target-brand) robe that resembles the LL Bean one and it even has it in "hunter" color, selling for $25 at your neighborhood Target. Their green seems a little lighter than the LL Bean one. I have ordered my LL Bean robe with the monogram "Indy Jones" (10...

indy_den

hear hear. nice looking aldens there.

indy_den

James, that's a great picture. It's a good comparison of the Alden boots evolution. I like the far left one the best... vintage 1970s. You got a very nice buy there and quite a steal for 158 bucks in such a good condition. My second favorite is the newest pair. Nice collection you've got there.

Thanks guys and looking at Jan and Blackthorne's pics sure put my mind at ease. The color looks more like an in-between the two, it's not as stone color as the second pic but it's not as khaki as the top pic either. So I've ordered mine, hopefully I'll be happy with the outcome when I get it after O...

indy_den

Sweeet! Thanks Pyroxene! Tracked down another Indy Gear... they do look very comfortable.

Oh and nice red robe, I've noticed that screen grab of Harrison Ford in that same robe, which movie was that from? Just jolt my memory for now (till I get my DVDs in Oct!), it's Raiders right?

indy_den

Just a quick question, I was going to buy the LL Bean shirt but is the color "Tan" as shown http://www.llbean.com/products/sporting_gear_apparel/21281/images/L21281_Tan.jpg really going to look like the one on indygear.com... http://www.indygear.com/gear/images/Bean3.jpg BTW, these shirts ...

indy_den

I have a black leather jacket from Wilson Leather that resembles the one Brad Pitt wore in Se7en. And I have another brown leather jacket (a London Fog Towne) that I got for 80 bucks at Ross. That one resembles the Raiders jacket (or temple because of its length) but it's missing the front pockets w...

indy_den

By jove Maryon, you're right. Just watch LC again on tape and it is actually more like a dark turqoise color, that's how I mistaken it for a dark shade of blue. I wonder if anyone knows a source selling these robes? Also in watching LC over, I've noticed Ford wearing an overcoat briefly when he was ...

indy_den

I've always like that dark blue (?) robe that Harrison Ford wore in The Last Crusade as shown in this picture. http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/blog/ofey/gear/c09.jpg So I've tried looking for a robe that matches the color and style but the closest I have found so far is this one now part of my collec...
