So, I went to Michaels store today and found a glass football case that worked perfectly. And for only $30!

It has a small plastic piece to suspend the block in mid-air, as well as a mirrored background.

Thanks for the insight. I will drop him a line.

The problem is how to affix it to the inside of shadowbox if you do that without damaging the prop.

temple_runner

I've been looking around since I posted this and it seems like a football, helmet, or basketball display might work well for this. I'll have to take the block in to determine if it'll fit.

Do we know Indy was wearing his shirt under the robes when he went into the Well of Souls? If not, maybe Dietrich found it laying in the sand and thought it looked sweet.

temple_runner

Thanks for the kind comments. I've been wearing the jacket almost literally non-stop since it arrived last week and it is beginning to loosen up. This is just how horse is, it needs work :) Although I must stress that compared to "normal" thickness horsehide this stuff IS soft and IS thin...

Hey guys, A few years ago I bought one of the Chachapoyan Temple "stone" blocks that rigor was selling. Ever since then it's sat securely in a box since I haven't found a great display for it. The styrofoam is very fragile, so I would need it to be covered in one of those glass-type displa...

I say remove the straps and the rings for a shoulder strap. Indy's bag was an attache style, which is extremely simple in its construction. I have the Jackson Wayne attache which is no longer made but fits that simple style.

It's certainly a nice looking jacket.

If it is 19 years old, I'd be surprised, based only off the fact that it looks in way better condition than my three-year-old jacket. Maybe they never wore it?

Did S&J's prices go up? I contacted them a year ago, and it seemed a lot cheaper. I'm not complaining, as I'm sure it's worth the price increase.

Wested is the least expensive, Steele and Jones in the middle, and Kelso the most, but again, a lot depends on current exchange rates.

I mean I wouldn't say a lot of these companies change daily by any means. Exchange rates, maybe.

Anyone know if Magnoli does any Black Friday sales?

Hey all,

It's been a while since I've bought an Indy jacket, so can anyone let me know the current prices?

Wested, S&J, Kelso, etc.

Eat more meat = cheaper leather jackets is what I got out of that

I've always been partial tot he opening scene hat. It's so iconic because it uses the shadow to such a great effect. Plus, Indy has just returned from quite a trip and the hat doesn't look so pristine.

temple_runner

I've tried to wear the fedora, but I can't get past feeling in costume. Indy is a constant shadow when I wear it. So I've switched to a Stetson Open Road and get the same "feel" without feeling "Indy." It's like I've taken his lead but made it my own.

That REALLY is a great looking jacket! When during the year do you find yourself wearing this? Is it a Spring/Fall item or Winter? I wear it year-round. Spring and summer it is my nighttime jacket with a henley. During the fall it is great with a long-sleeve shirt. During winter (right now, except ...

That has really worn in well! Digging the sleeve wrinkles, really has the Raiders look in my eye.

I bought this Wested Raiders Hero in September of 2017, so it's almost 1 1/2 years old. So far it's held up extremely well. I've worn it in every season, including snow and always when it rains.

Well, it happened. yesterday proved to be stifling hot for October in North Carolina, so I left my hat at the front door. The first woman who saw me asked, "Where's your Indiana Jones hat?" I replied that it was too hot and she commented, "Well, I liked it." I think it's safe to ...

I’m reviving an old thread because I think it’s great to hear from so many folks on here about a problem I’m sure we’ve all encountered.

I’m looking to make my first foray past cheap, Amazon whips and have decided on Magnoli. I am wondering the differences between the budget and deluxe versions, construction-wise, as the website was vague. Also, general opinions on the value of paying double for the deluxe would be appreciated.

Used Aldens sell for $150-$200 on eBay all the time. That's the route I would go, and I have.

temple_runner

If I take into account modern ideas of carrying a pistol, I'd say he had at least a backup set of six rounds in his Mark VII. If he traveled, I'd say he would bring a box, at most. Like you said, he never really got into full-blown gun battles, so a box on a long trip would be enough.

Thanks to car96 for making my Penman dreams a reality. He sold me his Penman Temple of Doom in rabbit. It's a wonderful hat in great condition. https://preview.ibb.co/f6FT0z/IMG_1967.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/krzo0z/IMG_1968.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/nKCK7e/IMG_1969.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/gHKM...

If it was me (and I'm no distressing expert), and I was fine with leaving it dirty, I would tie it to my car bumper and dry around the block. You'd get the dirt, the small tears, likely some ruffles and wrinkles, for sure. It saves a lot of time actually distressing unless you like the diligent work...

Here is a scan of an ad for this from Cycle World Magazine in 1992. Surprisingly pricey at $239.

Nice post! Really cool to see.

I've visited the links here and could only come up with a supposed brim width. Anyone have crown height or anything for a "general" LC?

temple_runner

I've always measured my chest as full of air as I could because you want the jacket to be able to zip and be, for instance, running from someone (a tribe?), breathing heavily.

I do not have a Northwest hat but really want one. If anyone had some pics of their Northwest Cairo from Mike please post em!

I dropped off my used Aldens last week for a cleaning, polish, and re-soling/heeling. The guy who did it is Anthony Yang, a 51-year-old from South Korea and seemed to be very knowledgeable.

Of course, I'd love an S&J or a Delk or (insert another great maker), but I'd also keep my Akubra if it looks okay. I think seeing something every day with no comparison is what makes it hard.

Hey guys, I've had my Akubra Fed IV for a year now and love it. Its built well and has suited my needs each and every day, rain or shine. However, in pictures, it just looks to be too "big" overall for my head. Whether this is my head being narrow or the hat being overbuilt (as some have s...

I paid $175 for the whole shoe lol Honestly, I don't care where they're made. I like to think Indy wore a lot of stuff that wasn't American, as he was a world traveler. Obviously, as modern shoppers, we have to be wary of other countries and their quality. And I'm the biggest "Made in USA"...

It's cold here in NC, so I asked for a new cardigan and scarf for winter. I went with the MOTB look here.

Cardigan (100% alpaca wool; made in Peru) is from The Alpaca Shop on eBay and the scarf is 100% cashmere (made in Scotland) from eBay, too.
