Hi.

I was whatching the making of LC today and I noticed this..

I dont know if this has been talked about before but I thought I could post it anyway.

it looks very much like the temple jacket to me.

temple collar.
no studs
higher and thighter sleeves
and smaller temple pockets.

am only I seeing this?

Can't tell what it is. It is also a different leather than the LC one. Possibly a generic stunt jacket.

Hat looks tiny too. Is Armstrong a bit smaller than Ford forcing the prop department to scale his gear down some?

Do these shots make the two look like action figures to anyone else?

I agree about the jacket, but I can't really tell very well...

It does look TOD to me. It looks very dark for an LC. Ford's does too, but then he looks completely soaked, judging by his shirt and hat, whereas Vic's shirt and hat look dry. So I'm assuming Ford's jacket is wet and Vic's is dry in this shot. It's funny, I thought Vic was supposed to be a big guy, but he looks like a munchkin next to Ford here.

Looks like a TOD, zipper looks silver too.

Ford's jacket looks like a lambskin there to me, look at the sleeve wrinkles.

The hat that Vic still owns he alegedly wore in all 3 films. So it's a Raiders hat?

Vic is a pretty big guy.. I remember him towering over most of us on I Am Legend. Ford's size did surprise me though.. we were put up in the same hotel during Indy 4 and I remember the first time in the elevator with him I was shocked how tall and broad he was (and nice).

As far as stunt doubles wearing different gear is concerned, I've worked numerous jobs where as the double I was given cheaper gear that looked similar. Granted, on a film as big as any of the Indy's I don't know why the lead stunt double would be given cheap duds. Maybe Vic loved his TOD gear he made it a point to wear it again.

Vic Armstrong wore the same gear in all three Indiana Jones films. Mk interviewed him years ago and even examined his hat. No more speculation on a subject that’s been covered. Cheers

Wasn't meaning to be rude. It's been covered is all.

It's surprising Vic's gear would survive three Indy movies when you consider he was doing the more dangerous stunts.

Vic looks like he's definitely wearing a "Raiders" shirt there too.
