Hello everyone. Let me first just say that I have been reading posts here for at least 5-6 years. :!: This is one of the few sites I come to nearly every time I sit down to a computer. I find the fact that so many people can share an interest in one obscure subject unbelieveable. Up untill a few years ago, I would have laughed at the idea that people other than myself found Indiana Jones' costume so, whats the word, cool?, that they would actually go to such lengths and drop so much green to satisfy this bug implanted in our collective brains by Spielberg/Lucas in the early 80's. Is it odd to want to dress up like an iconic film charachter? I certainly dont think so. It says something about the films themselves that a site like this even exists. Timeless. Enduring. Classic. You dont see anyone dressing up like charachters from tripe like King Solomon's Mines. (No offense to fans of King Solomons Mines, as my opinions do not reflect the opinions of this website, its parents, grandparents, affiliate companys, or former roommates.) We help keep something alive that should'nt be forgotten. We are like the Civil War re-enacters of the 'Geek' world. (Cue spontaneous applause and tears.) ANYWAY!! As we all know, Christmas is coming and when my girlfriend asked me what I wanted this year my mind began to race. Ahh, the possibilities! Corcoran paratrooper boots? Too lacy 
An I-Pod? Too Gizmatronic 
More art books? Too Librarian 
AHA! An official seal brown goatskin Flight Suits Expedition in 42T and this thing that tells time! (Scratch that last part.) My Girlfriend really did look at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears when that came pouring out of my mouth at top speed! I had to explain that there is this company in a far off land called Cal-li- for-ni-a that makes a kick-### jacket that not only looks just like the one that Indiana Jones wore, (Yes, honey, Harrison Ford in his prime,...her eyes glinted...), but!, if Indy were real and alive today I'm sure he would own several. Since Christmas only comes once, we always go all out for each other so it looks like I will soon be swathed in the skin of some un-fortunate goat who gave his life so that I, Nathan Harbaugh, could impress my girlfriend and neighbors by looking like Indiana Jones! I rest my case.
