Is there nothing this man cannot do??? Very impressive indeed.
So much stuff to buy and so little, well no money to do it with. I guess it's back to that old "saving" game . Sheesh!!

wow,

that is some really nice stuff.
can you do the white tux from tod?

Mola Ram wrote:can you do the white tux from tod?

Yes, I'm actually looking for someone willing to commission this piece so I can photograph it and add it to my site. I'm offering the TOD dinner jacket to the first customer for $295 (normally it'll be $330). I can do this ivory/cream (as in the film) or white if you prefer. Pants, vest and shirt (with or without removable collar) is also available. PM or e-mail me for more details.

Currently in the works at the moment:

Indy's Marshall College Three Piece Suit
Indy's Venice Pier Suit
James Bond's Goldfinger Three Piece Suit

These should all be up on my site in about month to six weeks.

Kind regards,
Indy

As I've been incredibly busy at work since getting a recent promotion I don't get to stop by here as much as I'd like. But having just found this thread I must say that Indy Magnoli has surpassed even his high standards once again with his current offerings of vintage design suits. I don't know how or how soon, but I'll be placing an order with him. One thing that would be very nice to see on the site are pictures of each suit in each color as they become available. It can be hard to envision something from a color sample sometimes.

This is something I wanted to do from the beginning. But, other than altering images in photoshop, it'd be very expensive for me to do this. I'm trying to cut costs however I can to keep these suits affordable.

I'm now looking for someone interested in commissioning Bogey's trenchcoat from Casablanca. I'm estimating it to cost $550, but I'll do the first one for $495...

Kind regards,
Indy

I'm not implying that you would need to make a suit just for the pictures. I was thinking that as orders come in for different colors maybe you could add these pictures to your site. I'm sure it won't take long before you're overwhelmed with orders; the quality looks top notch (as usual ).

Also as folks order these suits I'm sure that we will get an opportunity to see them on real live gearheads too.

Regards,
Indybill

Yes, I'm getting as excited as anyone to see these various suits come to life. I'll keep you posted.

Kind regards,
Indy

Magnoli are you planning to offer also a raiders housecoat?

I would love to offer this dressing gown, especially since I haven't seen anything close except in actual vintage robes. I'm sure this has shoulder pads just like a suit jacket. I've seen this on vintage gowns before, but never in modern styles. Unfortunately, it'll probably too expensive for me to reproduce. People are willing to pay a few hundred dollars for a suit, but would you pay a couple hundred for a robe you wear around the house? If so... I'd be happy to work through the details of this.

Kind regards,
Indy

I've just added Indy's three piece suit from Raiders to my site:

Indy

You know, I've been waiting 15 years for this to happen...
Thank you, Mr. Magnoli. As soon as I can afford it, I'll get at least one of those suits...
Beautiful.

Those are great my friend! Simply great. Once I shed a few more pounds, you may have an order for the Raiders Marshall College Suit next year!

I was hoping to find a close enough Belloq Suit for the QM, but alas, couldn't. Maybe you can set us up with that too?

As I've mentioned before, Indy Magnoli is a MASTER!! I've ordered the Venice Pier Suit and can't wait to get it. (Please Lord give me patience!) My lovely bride has given me the high sign to order the Washington Steps Suit as soon as I get the Venice.

Minnesota, if you want to be the "guinea pig" for the Belloq suit, I'll give you a special price. PM or e-mail me if you want to talk about it some more.

Kind regards,
Indy

PM is on it's way....

Here a shot of me wearing my "Marshall Suit". I know... I need to learn to smile... and shave!



Kind regards,
Indy

Looking good IM. You need to show this off over at the FL and get their input. I think with them you will nail the perfect 30's look Over all Can't wait to see what's next. I'm gonna need to choose which one to get..

Cheers,
Jeff

I posted these images in Matt's "Calling All Tailors" thread asking for this very style suit: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthre ... 355&page=3

But no reply... I suppose people are gearing up for the QM so things are quieting down.

Kind regards,
Indy

I'm sure by next week you'll get plenty of suggestions...not that you need it...well you know what I mean...I hope

Cheers,
Jeff

Just added a couple more suits to my site:

The "Venice" Single-breasted Suit



...and by request, the "Goldfinger"



http://clothiers.indyprops.com

Kind regards,
Indy

The "Goldfinger!" I can't wait to get it, Indy! And, if I do say so, the "Marshall" looks great, as well. I've wanted that suit for years! What color is that that you are wearing? It looks very screen accurate. Looks like I start the saving game again!

The color I'm wearing is a medium/light grey. It has absolutley no brown in it in person, so I wouldn't vote for its screen accuracy (I just needed a grey suit, not another brown one).

The material is really nice for this type of suit and is also available in a "medium brown" which is probably closer to screen accuracy. If you don't mind a lighter material, though, the 120 Cool Cashmere that I used for the Venice suit comes in a "medium brown" that shifts from brown to grey depending on the lighting.

Kind regards,
Indy

Cool, screen accurate or not! It almost looks like brown/tweed"y" in the picture above!

A couple of my suits have received reviews, including the Venice Pier suit:

Yes, shipping to anywhere in the world is included.

I know some of your are interested in a Henry Jones Sr. suit... you know when he was younger, beardless and carried a PPK. 8-[

I've just added some more pictures from one of my happy customers (a resident here, by the way) of the Goldfinger suit at my site:


https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop ... s_id=41&os

He also wrote up a nice review of the suit (viewable on the right menu bar).

Kind regards,
Indy

I've just added several new items to the shop: http://clothiers.indyprops.com

I've added several vests from various suits, a no-pleat version of the Indy pants and James Bond's suit from From Russia With Love.

Kind regards,
Indy

Hi all,
Just a word to let you know that the "Venice Pier" suit I recieved from Magnoli is perfect!! The fit is fantastic and the quality is better than some custom made suits I've had in the past. If all goes well I plan on having at least four of the differeant "Indy" suits on display at the museum for the Finger Lakes Summit in September. Thanks again Tony, the "Washington Steps" suit is next. (Did you save my measurements or do I need to submit them again?)
Curator Rick

Congratulations Rick. It sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see all of them.

Indy Magnoli, what are you doing to me. I don't need ten new suits. You are killing me.

Sorry guys... I can't help myself. Now that I've started this clothing line, I keep coming up with new ideas.

Rick, I've got all your measurements saved, so each order from now on will be very simple.

Kind regards,
Indy

I'm still trying to figure out how to afford a pair of trousers....and he keeps doing THIS!!!!

Regards! Michaelson

I want the Casablanca Dinner Jacket. I just need to figure out where I can wear it to. There aren't any clubs like Rick's around here. Plenty of Raven Bars, but no Cafe Americian.

Wow! Now, I just need to come up with... oh, about $1500, to get everything I want!

Too bad we didn't bring our formal wear :

I'm usually better outfitted for a Raven Bar than a Rick's anyway

Randy

Michaelson, I'm now in your boat.

I'd love to get 4 suits and more but just can't afford it till I get up off my butt.

Here is a great shot one of my customers e-mailed me showing off my Venice Pier suit:



Kind regards,
Magnoli

Those are great pics! They really show off the excellent fit of the suit.

I just received my Marshall 3-piece suit, and once again, I can't tell you how pleased I am! I'll post pics as soon as possible. Now, I just can't wait for my Temple of Doom tuxedo!

Aren't there already Horus cufflinks?

Don't you already offer Horus cufflinks?

He posted that almost 8 months ago.

Has anybody posted pictures of the Washington Double Breasted suit? I'm wondering how it fits compared to vintage double breasted suits. The fit looks very close to the movie suit.

On Indy Magnoli's site there's good pic. I doubt you don't know that, but here it is for everyone:



After the things Marc Chevalier said at the FL about the different location of the buttons in the 30s and 40s, I'd the "Washington" is a middle thing. I also think the lapels on that one are too round to be screen-accurate!

I don't trust studio pics of mannequins.

Yes, I'm with VP on this one. Not that I don't think it looks great- I just want to see this suit on a real person. The buttons and lapels look fine to me.


The angle and point of the lapel peaks look fine to me according to this picture. The belly of the lapel also looks accurate.


The button stance looks accurate on Magnoli' Washington suit, too. The last set of button hits just below the pockets.
The only difference I see is the most obvious. There isn't any evidence that Indy's suit had any stripes (not that it isn't a good look!). Magnoli, however, does offer a cashmere/silk blend in solid navy, although I do not know if this fabric will drape the same way as the movie suit or the sample that is pictured. Magnoli's suit looks to have enough waist suppression, but honestly you won't be able to tell unless a real person is wearing it.

Maybe, you're right and I'm also with VP. A pic of the suit on person will provide clarification.

BTW- Does anyone know where to get a tie like Indy wore with the Navy DB suit?

Well, Henrik, you were right in that for a 1936 suit, some of those details are a little off. The popular look for DB suits then was the higher button stance and rounder bellied, more horizontal lapels. I guess Indy's fashion sense was a little ahead of his time (i.e., MKVII satchel?).



Tie looks like a burgundy with greenish (?) dots tied in a half-windsor knot. Could be vintage?

THAT or the costume makers just didn't know it better!
