Are Raiders pants same as Temple of Doom pants ?

[Jonesy Jr.]

Hello

I'm in a process to acquire screen accurate pants for Temple of Doom outfit. Pants from Raiders look same to me in style and color so my questions are:
1. Are Raiders and ToD pants actually same color ?
2. Do they have same details like diagonal stitch above back pockets ?
3. What material are they ? I suppose they are also cavalry twill wool like Raiders are supposed to be.
4. Any other details not mentioned by me but the important thing is screen accuracy.

Thank you and regards to all

Simple answer is yes. Any minor variations between the two films are as much a result of lighting and color grading than physical disparities between the two trousers.

What color would screen accurate pants be described as ?

I have both pairs of pants from Noel Howard and the Raiders pants are more of a taupe color than the Temple of Doom pants.

Canyon!

First of all, how are ya? Hope you're well? Regards to Chewie for me too? And secondly, and the point, pics of the trousers? I'd love to see the tonal shift there!

Hey Ben, we're doing okay, thanks. Hope you are well.

I'll have to dig the pants out of a storage box here in my living room in the next couple of days to do a comparison.

No rush! I sent a message on FB too, if it's easier to send the pics there that might work, but here too, I think people could use a check of the colour palette being used for both! Thanks a lot!

And I'm.....Hmmm.....Kind of up and down a lot I guess, the divorce ended as smoothly as it can, so I'm managing that, and life in general has me a little down if I stop to think about it too much, but, otherwise, I'm in good enough shape! Thanks!

My love to you both!

Those are supposed to be original Noel Howard Temple of Doom pants (used in Temple of Doom ?) Note details of material.
So if we do comparison, Raiders pants are more grey compared to those ?

To my knowledge raiders and temple are about the same, I would say any color difference is likely due to lighting.

I really hope so. So I won't need to buy different pants for each cosplay
But if they are different for screen accuracy that is fine too. One extra pair won't fill closet too much.

Ahh....I remember the days of not having a closet full of mildly different shades of the same trouser/shirt/jacket....

What do you mean? Each trouser/shirt/jacket are completely unique!

Jeff,

We spoke about my recent divorce? LOL...The endless "different" trousers and shirts might have been one factor too..LOL

[Indiana Jeff]

Yeah, that’s why I stopped rolling my eyes at my Bride’s black shoes that are all “different.”

Hi Canyon
Did you succeeded in diging Noel Howard pants from your storage box for comparisons ?
Regards

Not yet. I'll try to get to it this weekend.

AFAIK - Some Raiders trousers were reused in TOD.

The TOD specific pants are a bit different in their hem and rear dart. The rear dart is straight vs angled, and they were hemmed with a ~1.5 inch hem vs the ~4inch blind hem on the Raiders.

I'll attach a pic from Temple that shows the straight dart (looks a little angled because of the rump)

ToD colors are hard to parse because it's so dark and red a lot of the film.

[Jonesy Jr.]

Good observation. It is indeed plausible and likely that some pants were reused and some were new.

As you said about Raiders pants used in ToD, those are probably from Raiders (picture of real pants shows left back pocket instead of right back pocket as shown on picture from movie):

Interesting pictures and observations.

I'll try to take some pics of mine this week (sorry, the weekend got away from me).
