Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb - Gear

Post by Jaredraptor »

Hey y'all.

I'm currently planning on basing my Indy gear on the gear found in the aforementioned videogame. I've decided to get an LC style fedora (along with the Raiders one I hope to get as well) and a Webley holster. However, I don't know hat else I should get. The jacket looks more Raiders-style than TOD or LC, as does the shirt (at least on my computer). Any suggestions?

If I can remember correctly, The Emperor's Tomb hat has a tear drop crown. If I am not mistaken it was based on the official Indiana Jones Dorfman Pacific Hats.

You're right but i would go with a akuruba. For the jacket i would go raiders and for everything else go TOD.

I'm not suggesting getting a Dorfman hat at all, but if you are looking for the correct bash and shape, you're going to want to use the Dorfman for references.

Here are some pics that may lend some help to you.

But if you do want to consider the Dorfman, don't forget to check this out:

I've seen a couple of the fur felt Dorfmans and they really aren't that bad for the money.

The losse pinch in the front is the most noticble thing for the ET hat.

In reference to the fedora pictures above, I'm just curious as to what the rest of you think of that... lining (?) on the edges of the brim? I seem to remember owning a wool Indy hat from Disneyworld back about 8 years ago... and after getting caught in a downpour in that park, the brim just sort of became 'puffy' (for lack of a better term).

I think maybe your question should be in a new topic. If you wish, you have permission to use the photos above.

The best thing to do would get a akuruba and use the game for reffrence.

This is a silly offtopic question: What happened if you did not pick up the hat after it got knocked off in a fight. I could never bring myself to leave it to find out. I always thought that was a great touch to the game.

Here's some shots of the gun.

This is what I'd go with

Jacket: Raiders, whatever maker you want to go with.

Hat: Akubra bashed LC style, you can go tear drop crown if you want but its hard to tell and you could go either way.

Belts: Go raiders with both

Holster: Colt 1911 holster U.S. Issue

Gun: S&W victory model, standard longer barrel.

Then the rest should be about the same as any other of the movies.

You could also get TOD gear because this game is a prequel to the events in temple of doom.
the holster looks like the TOD holster too me.

Absolutely nothing, the next portion of the game Indy always had his hat squarely back on his head. And it really was a great little added touch wasn't it?!

Though Accualy when I Bought my Indy Hat (at disney world) It is the exact one in the emperors tomb hardly any pinch in the front and on the top no pinch at all just kind of a bowl effect mabye i'll post a pic of it sometime :wink:
