Hilarious (to us) auction listing NO LINK
Just came across an hilarious auction listing that I just had to make fun of.
It's an "Official licensed" replica of the film jacket so he claims... It's licensed, got the Indy logo, but it's nowhere close at all to the film jacket. I sent him a message letting him know. Here's the best pics.

Curiousity lead me to eBay. What's interesting is that there is an Indiana Jones logo on it. I think I saw that logo years ago.

Does anyone know what that is?

I actually have a hemp Tilley that kinda looks like that hat.
I got a great chuckle out of this thread and the jacket. Probably assumes the logo on the patch makes it an official movie jacket. I have some mugs, baseball caps etc. that have "official" Indy logos but of course we all know that does make them the real deal. I would give this person the benefit of the doubt in that they just do not know better. I did get quite a laugh out of Kittlemeier's comment about the hat. Oh and I also have a Tilley hat and love it (although mine is not this color).

That's pretty great haha! This made me laugh.
Then again, most general public is largely ignorant of screen accuracity, but screen-similarity? How can you not tell a diferrence between something like this and something like this and a jacket without white 'fluff'?
then again, how can some people think indy wore a leather hat? beyond me.

That logo is identical to the design embroidered onto a t-shirt I picked up at Disney World over 10 years ago. It is also very similar to my avatar, which is a scan of a patch that I also picked up at DW.AdaminNYC wrote:Curiousity lead me to eBay.
