My shirt arrived yesterday and today i've taken some pics togheter with the pants also.
I don't think my pants color is screen accurate.. what do you think?
I'll post more pics when i change the buttoms of the Cabela's.
Sorry for the last very blurry pic.

I think I would unbutton the top-button of the shirt if I were You - just to get a more casual and younger look.
Lucas most be proud of his achievements in life. Every time we see Indy-pics there's somehow always a lightsaber that has managed to sneak in the picture...
Looks great and I guess if you wanted to make it more screen accurate you could always replace all the buttons pretty cheaply if you wanted. I have always meant to get round to doing this with my own cabelas but never found the time.
- Just noticed another thing. The length of the bagstrap seems to be right for You, but try to adjust it so it becomes a little longer. That will give You two things: First the bag itself will hang a little lower and loose (more like Indy's) and second the bagstrapbuckle will be placed more on the middle of Your chest (again more like Indy's).
And a little detail: It seems You wear Your webbingbelt the same way Magnoli's mannequin does for his new shirtproject (thats opposite most others...)

I dont think so. The "Star Wars" can be read correct in the background and You wear the bag over Your right shoulder. I guess the Indy-way is with the belt the other way around. Thats unless You are lefthanded, or???

Tell me about it. I changed all the buttons on my Wested shirt by hand. There are handheld machines for doing that, though I figured the price of one wouldn't be worth it thinking of how many times in my life I will change buttons.
I came up with a pretty smooth method of doing it faster by making a double fold of the thread in a loopy manner though. Double the strength with each stitch and easy securing of the thread with the first stitch to attach the button.
Still, a bit of work, yes.
Nice job on the buttons. I am in that same dilema, I have the same shirt. My wife has been looking for light tan buttons but has had no luck. I then had the idea, where better to look for buttons then on a shirt. I found an old shirt that does not fit me in my closet with the color buttons I am looking for. Now the sweet talking to my wife begins to switch them out for me.
