Great Circle Parka

Post by Henri_Defense »

Hey everyone! I've been trying to find the parka used for the Himalayan Battleship teaser we got for 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle', but have had no luck so far.
I've looked at the US Army's Reversible Ski Parka (https://themajorstailor.com/products/de ... -ski-parka), and it's the closest thing I've found, but I wondered if anybody else had any better ideas, or even whether it's even a real article of clothing, or something just made for the game itself?

Wow, that’s really close. Certainly seems possible they at least took inspiration from the design.

As it happens, What Price Glory sells a reproduction of this exact parka! Could be a good options for a 'close enough' cosplay. And the price isn't bad!

I also found these goggles for a great price. Is anyone familiar with this seller? The price is so good, I want to make sure that the website is legit. I know that there was a issue with scammer websites when we were collecting the DoD bag. Assuming this is above board, it's a great (and affordable!) start to putting this outfit together.

Funny you mention their listing. I'm considering buying it and modifying it to look like the one Indy wears. That being said however, I think I'll hold off until the game's fully released, things can change with their outfits from that teaser till launch.

I've been trying to find a similar cap to the one he wears too, but still had no luck either (same as everything else in the ensemble though, to be fair), although the cap and turtleneck look like they're made from the same "wool" material, for whatever that's worth.

Thanks for the link!

Certainly worthy of more research. At the very least the parka in the game could be inspired by the real life piece, but adds a different chest section, and a drawstring waist.

But who knows? We may be yet to find the real thing? :whip:
