I think it looks very Raiders from where I'm sitting. Maybe the hat could do with a bit more turn, but that could be the angle not showing it all that much on the brim.

I think you have got it down for Raiders!

Good job!

i think it looks just fine. i, myself have never been a big fan of the "raiders turn"...

jacksparrow900 · Post by **jacksparrow900** » Tue May 27, 2008 5:49 pm

i just turned the hat a little more to the left i'll have pictures of the turn by tomorrow and i have to say it looks like the hat came straight from raiders. Thank you

that is great gear sparrow for sure. one thing that i do notice of peter bros hats is that they are typically quite tall. if you're asking what i'd change, i'd have to say a shorter crown and darker boots.....maybe a warmer brown on the bag strap as it's kind of reddishy brown (which is kind of wierd as i have a magnoli strap and it looks dead on so it could be just the picture quality). everything else deserves a loud "sig heil (sp?)" from the stitch nazi camp

.....now go and get everything dirty

the boots are a darker color i just put fuller's earth like that scene with the airplane

I think it looks pretty dead on. I do have to say that the only issue I have is the turn in tha hat, or lack there of. Other than that, beautiful.

I think your gear looks AWE..... wait for it..... some!

One thing though, your hat does looks a little big. Is it loose?

Indiana G · Post by **Indiana G** » Tue May 27, 2008 6:39 pm

your boots are SA to the truck chase scene which showed boots that are comperable to today's standard alden offering.....oops, i meant last year's. today they are a tad darker but still a long reach from actual hero raiders boots. michaelson has got some deep brown boots that are very comperable to the raiders style. my AF64 from carmel look pretty close....just don't look at the rugged sole's

whats key for me is that the stitching on the moc toe should be dark as well....can't find those on the standard offerings.

i hope you disregard my comments or your in for one expensive ride.....there's no hope for me anymore so save yourself if you can. all in all, i think your gear is great.

cheers

it fits pretty good not to tight

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! How old are your Magnoli pants? Are they the 100% British wool ones?

Bullwhip looks delicious, jacket looks great, hat bash looks dead on, shirt looks perfect... what can I say? You've got the Raiders look going on!

Your gear looks absolutely great! But... do I see a slightly reversed taper on your fedora?

jacksparrow900 · Post by **jacksparrow900** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:06 pm

the pants are a wool blend

IndianaBogart · Post by **IndianaBogart** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:19 pm

Dude. Your gear looks awesome!

I can't believe your bag strap came from Todd's. I got mine from him about a year ago and its a lot darker. Yours looks a lot closer to the Raiders strap than mine. And I'm jealous of your jacket, it looks great. Overall, GREAT gear. Very Raiders.

McFly · Post by **McFly** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:46 pm

Wool blend? What color?

Shane

jacksparrow900 · Post by **jacksparrow900** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:49 pm

i think the color is dark khaki

Indiana MarkVII · Post by **Indiana MarkVII** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:57 pm

Good look overall. I too, noticed the reverse taper in the tall hat. A suggestion for the shirt, though. Wash it (hand or machine) and let it dry on a hanger, not in a dryer. Do not iron or press it. I think you want a more rumbled look.

Nice outfit that looks like it all came together in a relatively short few months, if it took that long.

Indiana Jake · Post by **Indiana Jake** » Tue May 27, 2008 9:43 pm

Have you done anything to darken the whip? Pecard's sunlight exposure? etc? Everythng looks great.

Excellent!!! If you fix the brim...little flat.. and wash that shirt like its been suggested you will look like you came out of the screen!!!!

I think you got it, that looks like pure Raiders gear

here is my turned hat

nicetrylaoche · Post by **nicetrylaoche** » Wed May 28, 2008 10:02 am

GREAT lookin' gear! I'd say just get in a few fights with that shirt on and you'll be golden...still looks too crisp. Everything else is spot on...as for the turned hat: frickin' awesome.
cheers,

Yeah...Awesome looking gear! Just wash the shirt to get it all wrinkled up and you're totally in business....Well, in even better business, anyway...!

Gater · Post by **Gater** » Wed May 28, 2008 10:28 am

agreed - nice gear. something that I have noticed that a lot of people do is wear the gunbelt too loose - like a cowboy/gunslinger. Looking around my office at all of the Indy pics, he wears his pretty snug, almost over the web belt. Tighten that up, and you're golden, baby!

looks dead on to a raiders bag strap to me.

well done Todd!

Wow Indiana Holt, that new strap is spot on to the Raiders strap. Mine looks like the darker one you have. I might have to look in to getting one of these soon.

myamoebafriend · Post by **myamoebafriend** » Wed May 28, 2008 6:47 pm

Holt, my strap that i bought just a couple weeks ago looks like that dark one of yours. And after I Pecard'd it, it's near black almost. How long ago did you get your lighter brown strap?

Hey Holt? Did Todd change his buckle at all? My strap is more little burgundy by the way... ordered it in 05 I believe..

I dont know how the buckle looked before...if you showed me a picture of it I can see how much it changed since then....if it has changed?
