Never heard of it, but it is very, very, VERY cool!!! I really like the WW2 A2 style jackets. I had a LL bean "Flying Tiger" once upon a time, but it had the non accurate split back panel (which is a turn off for me as far as jackets go anyways). One of these days I'm gonna get me an accurate one. Nice find!

The film was made in 1979 (before Raiders)

Does this mean that George Lucas saw this film and got the idea of what Indy would look like ?
This film was set in WWII, so the uniform is pretty close to Indy's!

It's hanging on a wall in the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood and is indeed listed as a Raiders jacket.

At least it has a B&N tag inside. I saw it.

This is not about the actual movie,

it is only an observation that Harrison Ford had "that look" before Raiders came out!
As for Harrison, I guess being second choice really paid off for him.

HARRISON FORD...
No stranger to doing three things in movies (in no particular order):

1. Wearing brown leather jackets with flap pockets

2. Yelling at a bad-guy either directly or over the phone about his wife and/or his family

3. Shooting first at the other guy before they have a chance to
- blast you and report to back to Jabba
- get close enough to you with their sword to slice you straight down the middle
- either ignite their lightsaber or do that weird force-choke-pinch thingy

(God Bless 'im!)

Those are Indy's pants, too! Apparently he lost his iron between "Hanover" and "Raiders".

Yeah, I mean wasn't Harrison Ford punished for it on the set of Temple of Doom?

Makes you wonder if they put pleats in Indy's trousers to take them one step away from the Officer's Pinks he wore in Hanover Street? (Though I thought Indy's pants were supposed to have been pinks, anyway.)

It does look like good old "Honest Abe" too.

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 1:36 pm

You know, there's another problem with his getup here. If he were out in public, he should be wearing his Class A uniform. The leather jacket and green shirt were working uniform items, not meant to be worn off base. No wonder he got a beating in ToD!

I wish they had of been! Pleats kinda kill the "adventurer" motif for me...

Can't see the connection to Indy here, other than the obvious point that Indy is a generic adventurer uniform that is based on surplus military gear. Ford in this film is dressed in a uniform that happns to feature a not very accurate A2. I remember this film at the time being a piece of second rate flapdoodle.

bounos · Post by **bounos** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:56 pm

I have to agree with you on that!

It's what got Ford whipped to shreads for making by Barbara Stratton wearing a S&M outfit.

Woah woah woah!!!! I've never seen Hanover St., so I can't speak on that . . . But I LOVE The Frisco Kid. No, it's not first rate, but it's totally watchable and fun. HF is pretty neat in it, and Gene Wilder is so adorable!

I thought Harrison was the third choice.

Who else am I thinking of???

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 3:05 am

The Frisco Kid? Really?

I've seen better performances in high school plays. I almost demanded Netflix give me a refund. I will give you Gene Wilder is adorable, but he's pretty much playing Adorable Gene Wilder.

Well, since Harrison Form himself is an aviator, it makes sense that he would wear such a jacket in the real world. (Not the acting world.

In the article that accompanies the photos, Ford eyerolls when the photographer brings out the jacket. "They always want the leather jacket," he says.

I suppose it's the price you pay for being famous because of the leather jacket!

What's funny is the movie is listed as PG but when I watched it with my ex conservative gf there was a scene where the love interest takes her clothes off very briefly. She was not happy....lol. I had to pretend to be mad.

I thought the movie wasn't too horrible, and had a goodlaugh that he was wearing a close indy outfit. I kept expecting him to put on a fedora....
