Where do people get Indy's pants these days?
I guess the title is self-explanatory.
I own a really old pair from Wested, and I was eyeing some original WWII pinks, but I'm not sure if I'll go for them as the color always looked kind of off in Destiny's behind the scenes photos. What's the best source for the pants today?

I somehow keep forgetting you have everything, man.

Back of my closet.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Karolian dry goods is a great choice.
Re: Where do people get Indy's pants these days?
I think that Magnoli does the best.

Was hoping Wested would do a more slimline Dial version of their trousers - it's good quality material they use but a rather more voluminous fit than necessary I think.

Does wpg still offer officer's pinks?

I second Karolian Dry Goods. Especially since there is the option of going 100% cotton.

Never heard of these guys before. And for once they're EU?
I'm looking for Crusade style pants, so I wanted to ask about your twill, wool and cotton options. Weren't Indy's twill originally? However for Crusade they seem to be a lighter shade than what's recommended on your site with that material. I may be mistaken though, just wondering what's best.

Karolian is in the US too.

Ah, I guess their site just converts prices to euros.
Well at least a few excellent prop makers are in Europe, so not everything is either America or elsewhere all the time.

Yes. They actually offer two versions now. I have the newer "2019 lightweight" version and I'm happy with them. Although this is my first costume build so I have nothing to compare them to. When I was doing my COW research in preparation, general consensus seemed to be that they're a solid budget option, which is what I was looking for.

I'm pretty excited to get my hands on Karolina's new wool blend, although I would love a pair of Mags one on these days
Re: Where do people get Indy's pants these days?
Same here. I have a Karolian pair on order.

Re: Where do people get Indy's pants these days?
I generally recommend our custom wool twill for the original trilogy, though there are minor variations. That being said, we do offer a pure English wool in camel that a few customers swear makes perfect LC trousers. We don't have much left of this though, so if you want to try this out, shoot me an e-mail to discuss.Liberance wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 5:31 amI'm looking for Crusade style pants, so I wanted to ask about your twill, wool and cotton options.
