Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Check this out. Looks like a pretty good Raiders if you ask me...... and a pretty neat experiment to boot (don't try this at home).

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Sure looks like it. Didn't he get it for his Indy myths ep? I guess his old black coat is getting a little worn out..

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I believe one of our intrepid members found out that it was a Todd's... if that person feels like confirming, so be it. But I trust the source. And yes, very nice.
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Does he wear it often?
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Dejah Thoris SPOKE to Adam in person a few weeks ago at an event at UCI and he told her it was a Todd's (he spotted her Wested and was asking about it!!). He also confirmed he had an Adventurebilt, but said he gave it away (sounded like it was to an organization) and autographed it. He may have bought another one though.Chewbacca Jones wrote:I believe one of our intrepid members found out that it was a Todd's... if that person feels like confirming, so be it.

Wait for it...
CONFIRMED!

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Now for the other question: Todd's standard or custom?
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I think she told me he said Standard, but I'm not positive!

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
was watching last night. That's a pretty good looking jacket. Even more so if it is a Todd's standard!

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Not surprised, Adam is a total gearhead. At Maker Faire last year he was showing off his personally-made SA bullwhip and Grail Diary (and in progress Maltese Falcon casting project). It would not surprise me a bit if he lurked here.
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
there was thread a while back saying or inplying that he signed up by a mod..
if my memory serves me correctly

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I remember that too. But the mod said he never posted and was hardly online, if at all.

Yeah, the jacket looks great and the back length even greater.

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Good to know that my eyes weren't deceiving me when I saw the episode last night. I was also checking to see if he was wearing his AB to match the jacket, but he wasn't. Sad to hear about his AB, but congrats to the lucky fan who has/is getting it.
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I have no idea. He wears it enough to where I've seen it a few times in the show - maybe once an episode. It looks like he likes to switch up his outfit a bit, which I think is good. I'm just waiting to see him get some Aldens on!CM wrote:So Shane, does he wear it often?
If you find the episode where they test the motorcycle flip from LC, you'll see him driving the motorcycle w/ sidecar, and he's wearing his jacket and AB, with some kind of satchel on.

Actually...he wore his Wilson button up leather jacket that episode. Evidently, he didn't get his Todd's untill after that episode.McFly wrote:I have no idea.

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I know he wore the button up jacket for most of the episode, but I think he wore it specifically for the motorcycle scene - otherwise you're right and I just had a brain fart.

It is a pretty non-descript Wilson leather jacket. Four button, blazer style black leather jacket.
I can't remember where I heard it was a Wilson , but I know I heard that somewhere.

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
No worries Shane! I am as bad about Mythbusters as I am about Indy. I teach science in High School and Mythbusters is a great way to connect with the kids (all the cool science involves blowing something up.) Adam is one of the reasons I had Penman refurbish that "Man with no name" hat for me. The Indy jacket is new to this season. He must have seen a picture of me wearing my Clint Eastwood hat and my Todd's jacket and thought,"Man this guy is super cool...I need to try that look."McFly wrote:I know he wore the button up jacket for most of the episode, but I think he wore it specifically for the motorcycle scene - otherwise you're right and I just had a brain fart.

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Not really a blazer, besides it looks retro - not a great jacket but a decent one. Wilson's today has nothing like it - they now look like they are made and designed in India - it's the cut, folks. Adam's looks like it was based on an early 1960's pattern and a US made jacket; a thin leather, but a hard wearing (cowhide?) as the series demonstrates. Sure, there are dozens of similar jackets, but I've always been kind of taken with this one.Hollowpond wrote:It is a pretty non-descript Wilson leather jacket.

And Indy's too, of course.

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
adams jacket is lambskin. he said so himself.
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Did he say that? And is he right? I remember swearing a jacket I had was lamb. Turned out it was deerskin.
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I think it's because he saw my in gear at last year's Comic Con. He asked if my jacket was a Wested, and I told him it was a Todd's.

Yeah...I just meant blazer style. I guess I just recognize a lapel collar and associate it with a blazer. Sorry.CM wrote:

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
his black jacket looks more like a 'car coat' style
Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Nice!! Dejah told him about Nowak when she saw him and it sounded like he was interested. That's something new to watch out for now.ichnob wrote:I think it's because he saw my in gear at last year's Comic Con. He asked if my jacket was a Wested, and I told him it was a Todd's.

It is a standard. He also has one of my bags and straps, and whip holders, purchased by a staff member. Hey, Mr. Savage, if you're reading this would you contact me privately (or have someone from your production office contact me?) Either a PM or email todd@toddscostumes.com. I would really, really appreciate it.

Since made the purchases through other people to protect his privacy, I'll let him decide if I can contact him or not.

He used to be, but I believe he got lost in the last non-posting member purge. Dalexs sent him an email, but that's the last I heard about it....

Yes, how indeed? Perhaps loging into someone else's account? Or how about creating another profile? I've seen many banned members resurface here under new names.how can Adam visit the boards and see this thread when it isnt open for the world to see?

Good lord, don't want to stray too much off topic, but if you run across reports online that Mr. Savage passed away on May 25th, it is a false rumor.

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
I was on facebook and randomly looked up his fanpage there and in the search results came up with the "Adam Savage memorial group" and their intro was:
"A memorial to the late, great, Adam Savage, who ended his life on May 25th. Here you can post your tributes and remember the life that was taken from us too soon".
That spooked the daylights out of me, didn't want others to suffer. They have fairly recent posts their claiming discovery channel is in denial and all that nonsense, even claiming they don't want publicity of another Steve Erwin situation on their hands, so needless to say I'm glad it's hokum, internet mythbusting at it's worst.
Ok, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Re: Mythbusters Adam wearing Indy Jacket?
Sorry I missed this one so long ago, could've got the info cleared up a lot quicker... just came across this in a search trying to remember where I posted the info, as the question surfaced again recently.
This is the todd's standard I used to own. I distressed it in my normal fashion and sold it to Adam Savage via ebay. He is seen wearing it in the episode mentioned earlier and in a few others as well over the past year.
