Indy IV Deluxe Pillow Case!

lantzn · Post by **lantzn** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 1:51 am

When you buy a Tony Nowak Indy IV jacket it comes in a very nice custom made bag. I was sitting in my office and noticed a pillow was just about the same size as the bag. It turned out the pillow fit perfectly! Nice touch for my office's futon couch.

Good idea!

I'll have to try it too. ;-)

Perfect! I've been tempted to do that with my Nowak bag, but I also find it's great for packing special jackets or clothing in luggage, too. It's multi purpose!

It's the right size for a pillow.....but the cotton canvas is too rough and scratchy for my noggin.

No one said you had to USE it!

Yeah, someone mentioned this when the first jackets came out. I haven't tried it myself, but plan to.

Regards! Michaelson

NICE!

I like how your photos are actually a step-by-step tutorial on how to insert a pillow into a pillowcase too. Nice touch!

A true indy fan would not say such a thing. He'd just say something like, "Not as easy as it use to be" and then proceed to do it.

mine already looks like that as its stuffed full of old indy jackets

Great. So I thought this was a neat idea, and I followed suit. Well this morning I woke up with a distinct Indy IV imprint on my face.

There are worse things to have imprinted on your face in the morning.

Besides, at least now everyone will know where your loyalties lie.

I'm sorry, Baldwyn, but that's really funny. Just think of it as the "Toht pillow."

"So, the pillow you saw only had one side, right? ...They're sleeping in the wrong place!"

"Daddy, why does that man have "V I r CI N I" written on his face?"

"Shhhh... we'll talk about it later, sweetie... Don't point at the strange man..."

You know what's funny is right after I posted that, I thought about how the imprint would be mirror image, and started to refer to a Nazi pillow... but you pulled off that punchline much better (I didn't REALLY use it as a pillow!)

Indy G, you are so BRILLIANT! Actually, for my 40th birthday I received a coupon from my family for one Indy jacket of my choosing! (I think they mean non-screen used however)

My first ever Indy gear is my recently received Indy CS jacket from Nowak. It was my anniversary gift Nov 08) from my wife. She first bought me an Adventurbilt but after we found out the wait time was a year, she said order the jacket and the hat would be my 09 anniversary gift. What a gal.

Yeah! My wife would happier without the hobby, but I suppose I'm happier with the hobby. I was actually pretty surprised.

It's funny but I was full on into Indy Gear when my daughter was born in 00, so my first Indy jacket was my 0th father's day present, my first fedora for Christmas that year, and my David Morgan whip for Christmas the year after that. (And as I've repeated the story, I was reading the Indyfan forum thinking about middle names when I picked her's out: Fedora)

Then not so much into Indy gear again until last year! And my son was born in Aug! (And again, his middle name was inspired by Indy: Henry, although THIS time it was picked by my wife; I named him after a piano), so more Indy related gifts for me!

In retrospect, I shouldn't have waited so long in between children.

you see.......your story is a testament to the fact that bringing children into this world keeps us young

......everytime you have a child, you wanna play 'dress up' again

........now plesae don't think i'm making fun of grown men dressing up like indiana jones.......i'm definitely not....especially with my daily garb

Yup, without kids I couldn't act completely goofy and not draw attention by the men in white coats!

Yeah, I tried this a while back. The pillow fit nicely into the bag, but then I realized that the bag would get dirty very easily and would be difficult to clean due to the leather patch...plus it just works too darn well as a clothing bag.
