Thanks Illinois. I’m hoping someone within this community will know someone able to do reblocking.

Frederick

Will definitely add pictures if I’m able to locate someone to re-block it! Cheers

Frederick

Thanks Bear,

I love that video, thanks for sharing, amazing what someone with skill can resurrect! I could even ask to have the hole on the side or back if it was to be re-blocked, but yeah, it all adds to the charm!

I’ve had my rabbit Explorador ‘36 for 8 great years now and suffice to say it has seen many adventures. It was my first hat and I loved the work that Diego and the team did on it. It’s been through rivers, up mountains, comforted my daughter as a “teddy” when going to sleep at nights and I pretty mu...

Frederick

For what it’s worth. I bought a wested hero in 2015 as it was probably the cheaper jacket at that time (might still be) as well as being the “official” jacket. I was happy to have had a jacket made by Peter but soon after I realised the leather for me felt way to thick and too smooth etc. No striati...

Frederick

Great idea Magnoli. Very practical!!

Dang that s.u.c.k's! How did that happen? Below was recommended to me - took it a shade darker which is what I wanted, slowly over time you might need to apply more. Nice Review. I have a BK Relic Hunter Cairo and concur with the more chocolate-esque color. I've found that an application of Pecard's...

I'm a big fan of WPG's shirts. I don't know how "accurate" they are, but the quality and fit are good IMO, and the stone or putty color adjusts well to lighting variances. The last run I purchased from had buttons matching the cloth color like in Raiders screencaps. Some feel that the fab...

Frederick

The Azuma's have looked the best from what I've seen. If you want the really light color, Magnoli's "stone" is very good. However, once all the gear is on, and you get out in the sun, the lighter shirts end up looking almost white. The other down side to Magnoli's - dare I say it - the qu...

Frederick

From his most recent runs. *Note that the Raiders shirt pictured has a slight manufacturing defect. The cloth strips are slightly too wide. It was sold as a factory second (still love mine nonetheless). Raiders https://i.imgur.com/h7vcqK9l.jpg Last Crusade https://i.imgur.com/CuhZPFyl.jpg Thanks DS...

Frederick

Based on what I've read over the years, the color of the shirt shown at the Prop Gallery is what the shirt looked like in real life. Most of us think of the SOC scenes when picking a shirt color which due to the outdoor, sunny locations and subsequent color changes in film processing, makes the shi...

Frederick

The shirts for all of the Indy movies are different colours and the Raiders shirts are no different. Unfortunately I don't have the comparison pics of the Raiders shirts - I took the last time I was in the Archive building - to hand at the moment but FYI, here is a picture of the two of the shirts ...

Frederick

Good stuff. Those pics never get old. I can't remember where I last saw the behind-the-scenes photo, but I know screen-used shirts even in the same set wardrobe have been shown to have color variances. Intentional? Who knows. Who knows but I can't find a vendor that offers anything close to the fir...

Found these 2 webpage online - both showcasing an original raiders shirt from Western Costumes however each a different colours (even with flash compensation). https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/harrison-ford-screen-used-indiana-jones-shirt-f-1566-c-6b642ecb72" onclick="window.open(thi...

Thanks guys. Donovan, I agree about the stitching. It’s quality work. Here’s another hat pic: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180510/f6f55a28b3df4d376e11ae2240862575.jpg I’m replicating the scene where Indy is on his iPhone. Sent from my mind Haha - iPhone scene is surely a classic! :rolling:

Frederick

Yes! Wow, thanks for treating us to such a great review. I’m stoked that you’re happy after such a wait - you showed the patience of a saint and it paid off. The fit/look is 100% and sits on you just great! Now don’t do what I did and eat a mayo sandwich while wearing it. ](*,) Enjoy! Nice hat too b...

Frederick

Looking good Jacob! Love that shirt too btw.

Yes - full review please! Go over with a magnifying glass and tell us your opinion! $\:D/$ $\:D/$

Frederick

It was 10.5 weeks for me from ordering to the shipping order - I know it's tough to wait but it will come! I feel your pain.

Frederick

Watch ROTLA that will give you a good indication. ;) I'm too camera shy, maybe when yours come you can treat us with an exposé? How come there are no video reviews of the Relic Hunter? There are quite a few wested video reviews. Any of you relic hunter owners want to make a quick video review of you...

Frederick

Nice Review. I have a BK Relic Hunter Cairo and concur with the more chocolate-esque color. I've found that an application of Pecard's brown tinted dressing really helps bring it closer to perceived screen color as well as help for weather proofing. Ride Guy Thank you Ride Guy - I have applied my P...

The BK Relic Hunter on the right of the picture is the jacket i wear the most on my everyday life. 8) The jacket was from the first batch of striated skins made a few years ago(maybe 5-6 years,i don't remember well..) ,it have no distressing at all,and i advise wisely to avoid any artificial distre...

Gotta get a Relic Hunter Cairo when they get the darker SL back in.

What!?? A darker SL? If I knew that I would have waited.

My BK is a great jacket alright but color a bit too light for my liking.
IndyMassilla - great collection! Nice pics!

Frederick

Awesome fit, great hat too btw! Sporting the gear well... has the jacket had any subsequent treatment since the original purchase?

Frederick

Devastating news. Our thoughts and prayers go out towards the family. Thank you Peter for your contribution in creating some wonderful childhood memories!

Frederick

CRB wrote:Is anyone able to weigh these new lamb jackets for me ? I may be tempted to et my 5th Relic Hunter

My BK weighs 956grams. Compared to the Wested which is 1165grams there's just over 200 grams of difference but you notice it. Both size 38's.

Frederick

Thanks for your comments team. Ride Guy - that's a great tip. I might get a can on hand for a 'rainy day'. Under the care and maintaince tab on the BK website it gives a great overview of the required care for the leather. The jacket I would regard more of a dress jacket than a throw around/ travel ...

Frederick

All right people, for those that have been waiting...I got round to taking some photos today, I've been snowed under with work so I got a little break this friday afternoon to whip up a few images and a review. Maybe for ease I'll follow our friend Mulceber and categorize it for ease of reading. To ...

It has arrived folks! Photos and review to follow! $\:D/$

Wait, you have a wife that has her own Indy shirt? She's a keeper for sure! :TOH: Oh, it gets better. She's got full gear (one could argue better than my own), even before we met. :mrgreen: Wow- well done! What size did she get? The small that Wested have on offer has a shoulder measurement of 7.5&...

Frederick

Wow, was that a private or public tour? Awesome to see pictures on here, separate topic but I wonder why they keep the raiders jacket so quiet and not allowing pics on here? Thanks for the pic - yeah I'm getting the understanding it wasn't as light as people think, to my eye the screen cap I put up...

[ Apart from WPG/Wested/Magnoli other members seem to be out of stock. So... I have had a WPG - bad fit for me, I have got 2 Magnolis. So any recommendations on Wested or any other vendors? The WPG color is great, but I agree on the fit. My wife has a Wested, and it's really nice. Wait, you have a ...

Nice jacket anindyjones. I can't believe someone would get rid of their BK. Good score for you. Maybe it was the wrong fit for them? Sounds plausible. Could be a need for fast cash as well. There's all kinds of reasons these things happen. BTW, how goes your wait, Frederick? Have you gotten any new...

Frederick

I initially ordered a WPG shirt, now to give you an idea, I'm 5'6/7 and usually wear medium size shirts. So I thought I couldn't go wrong with ordering a Small from WPG. It arrived a few weeks later and promptly returned it (silly me forgot to take a photo) because the shoulders were way to oversize...

Frederick

Curious if anyone has purchased a WPG shirt recently and can report on sizing and color. Cheers, ijq8 I had a WPG shirt very recently which I returned. I found that the colour in person much represents the light khaki of the background behind the Club Obi Wan Logo above - you can also view the shir...

Great jacket Mulceber - you look like a very happy chap there!! Well done, it looks great on you and you'll enjoy sleeping in it?

I believe my jacket will be the next one in line!

Out of interest how wide are those collars at the tip?

Frederick

I remember years ago I read somewhere here that satin wears out quicker than cotton. Yes the jacket probably slides on better but I've seen my satin wear out (interior elbow area) after 2 years of regular wear, every so slightly. Regarding heat insulation of satin vs cotton I'm not too sure?? Ps: I ...

Frederick

Great work! - very good promotion for your Relic Hunter Andy - good to see it in all it's glory in HD!

Frederick

Cairo as well: Indy spends more of the movie wearing that one, and I'm a fan of the Cairo hat, so I'd like to have a jacket to match. ;) Also, I already have a Wested Hero jacket, and it looks like they have the South America collar. :-k Awesome, yeah same here. I have a Wested Hero with SA collar ...

That's very nice of him to wave it - I went for custom as well. Took me a while to settle on my measurements but happy now. Went for a modified 38 with slightly smaller shoulders. Nice! I'll look forward to seeing pictures when you get it! :TOH: Did you go for the Cairo variant or Peru? I went for ...

custom measurements, after discussing my measurements with Andy. He even waved the 50 pound custom measurements fee because I ordered right then and there. Yourself?

Beginning of August, although Andy estimated they'd be done in September. :? A week to deliver from England doesn't sound bad though. Exciting, I look forward to seeing it! I ordered mine at the start of the August as well. It will be travelling all the way to NZ. No telling yet on the ETA. Did you...

Frederick

I'm just wondering if there is a thread of the crown heights for each of the hats from the films? There are a lot of information on the Raiders hat but just wondering if there are any dimensions particularly the crown heights of the other hats most notably the LC and CS hats?
