Was a goatskin jacket ever used on screen in an Indy movie?
I’ve been enjoying wearing my Gibson & Barnes Expedition goatskin jackets these days. I own a size 42 and 44. What splendid, well-constructed, easy-wearing, seemingly indestructible jackets they are. Will last generations. My joy with G&B has me pondering: was a goatskin Indy jacket ever use...

Re: Hat Sizing
I’m considering ordering a Raiders or Crusade hat from Herbert Johnson or another shop. I went to two local hat shops where I regularly buy off-the-rack hats and had them measure me. Both independently said my head size was 60 cm. One of them gave my size in inches as 23.75. Do I have what I need to...

Alden 405s v. 403s, How to Break them in, & Best Inserts
I bought my first pair of Alden 405s and am liking them so far. A few questions: Any suggestions for how to break them in? I’m wearing them indoors for a few hours a day. I like to walk 10,000 steps a day, but am holding back from doing that with the Aldens, at least for now. Can I reasonably expect...

Re: Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter
Could someone who has the Holy Grail jacket describe the Lambskin Venice leather (look, feel, durability, quality)? How does it compare to the Relic Hunter’s vegetable-tanned lambskin, which is quite distinctive? Based on the pictures, the Lambskin Venice reminds me a bit of Wested’s authentic brown...

Re: Collar shape
There’s evidence that the Hawaii/South American-style Jacket was used in some of the truck chase scenes in Egypt. A thread on another forum included detailed screenshot analysis, showing precisely when the Cairo and Hawaii/South America jackets were used in the desert chase. Sent from my iPhone usin...

Re: Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter
While I can't speak to the jacket's sizing or fit, the photos of Canasta's Liberty BK Relic Hunter looked great.

Re: Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter
Which style of jacket is Indy wearing in Raiders when he pursues the truck carrying the Ark--the Bill Kelso "Cairo"-style or the "South America"-style? And is the jacket-style Indy wears while hanging from the grille in front of the truck the same style he wears while being drag...

Re: Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter
Hi! Can you kind folks please help me better understand the differences between Bill Kelso's South American and Cairo Relic Hunter jackets? I'd like to buy a Bill Kelso in authentic striated lamb. This would be my second Indy jacket (the first was a Wested, which I love.). I'm really impressed by wh...
