New guy saying hello - with pics (i hope)...

Jakob Emiliussen · Post by **Jakob Emiliussen** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 9:56 am

Hi Everybody

I'm new here. I just thought I'd introduce myself in a more proper way. I've been posting on different topics around the forum, just to get acquainted with the place - sort of getting used to the climate. You all seem like a lovely bunch, and I really like the tone you've established here.

I just thought the best way to introduce myself was by posting a pic of me in my present gear. So, here goes:

The hat is a "The Henry" from Adventurebilt - I've just bashed it lightly, but I think is has the right looks for now.

The jacket is a wested, raiders style in horsehide (size 40 regular)

Shirt and pants is also from wested.

The bag (which is not visible in this picture - sorry) is an original issue MKVII and the strap is from Todd's

It all needs a good "rolling in the sand", but I only got the hat tuesday and it's getting a little cold here in Denmark, so the jacket is not getting used as much as I would like.

Well, thats all for now.

All the best
Emiliussen

PS: That's a Wilson Football behind my head, not the hat - the hat looks quite normal

Wow Emiliussen, that is some collection you got there

Bienvenido a bordo!

Great looking jacket. Peter and Co. really seem to be getting more consistant nowadays. I hope they keep it up.

Jakob Emiliussen · Post by **Jakob Emiliussen** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 11:04 am

Thank you, all three of you... Yeah, I need a gunbelt, a holster, a whip, boots and a gun - but then I'm set to go

Yeah - the jacket is the pride of my collection so far - I think it's quite SA for raiders...

I jsut ordered a washed goat raiders but now I think I should have gone HH! Great pix!

Look up pageywhips.com for a good european whip. It is Whiskeyman here on the forum. His stuff is sick!

Jakob Emiliussen · Post by **Jakob Emiliussen** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 11:23 am

I've been looking for a good whip from the EU - it's simply too expensive to import one... Thanks alot!!

And HH has the rigt feel - it's heavy and durable. Makes you feel like a real adventurer...

Yeah, I hate the feel of the lamb jackets... I know it is what they used for the films, but if Indy Jones were a real person, he would have worn cow, goat or horse! He was not into fashon but wore tough working clothing while in the field.

I could not agree more!

Here are a couple of european whip makers that specialize in Indy whips:

Giovanni Celeste in Italy
giowhips.altervista.org

Pagey Whips in Austria
pageywhips.com

Both have had great reviews around here.

Those are very nice links - now, if only I could find 450 EUR (that's about $570 if I'm not mistaking) somewhere

Welcome to the madness of costuming. Screen accurate and functional Indy gear is no less expensive than getting a custom made costume for other movie characters. Many folk end up with multiple hats, jackets, shirts and pants. You have now surrendered your wallet to Indy gear pursuits.

AND a raiders jacket has more functions than a set of golfclubs!!

Well, don't we all

As a matter of fact, I've already run it through Photoshop, but that was just to correct the brightness and contrast, and to get rid of red eyes...

coronado3 · Post by **coronado3** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:14 pm

Yeah, you can make it look like you are on a golf course!

Welcome to COW. You have some very nice gear.

You mentioned it was getting cold in Denmark, how cold? I have a Novapelle hide that I have been wearing now that it has turned cold and it keeps me very warm. I thought the HH was even a heavier and warmer leather to wear than Novapelle?

From one Dane to another Dane(well half anyway) welcome to the Club.

Jakob Emiliussen · Post by **Jakob Emiliussen** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 11:59 pm

Thank you - all of you... I feel very welcom(ed)

I'm sure I'll fit just right in.

How cold you ask, well, yesterday we had snow - wasn't for long but it was there. It's just about freezing in the daytime and well below at night. Yeah, HH is quite warm, and I've started to use a muffler which helps a bit... I guess it all comes down to the layering - the number of shirts you have underneath your jacket.

Thanks again for your warm (

) reception.

Emiliussen
