Socks!
I was just wondering...
What color socks do you think Indiana Jones wears?
I say black.

I may be mistaken but the scene early in Raiders where Indy is climbing onto Jocks Plane you can see white socks. Or, they could be dusty black socks.

I'm with black(sorry fellas) but the Flying wing scene always had me convinced that they were black socks. It just seems to me that if they were some light color they would show up more like if he kicks someone or jumps onto something, etc. Of course, who knows? Maybe he doesn't consider socks part of his "uniform" and wears different colors from time to time.

I saw Raiders a couple of weeks ago and recall brown socks as Indy rolls to a stop before Belloq. Definitely brown.only looking wrote:sorry guys but at least in Raiders and at lest in the opening scenes when he comes crashing down the mound to stop (the boulder following ever so closely behind) and that ole french boy is there you can see Harry's socks and they are BROWN.
Oh, uhh, Fisk? I meant "dark khaki."
OK class, now we will turn our attention to the the greatest presentation in the history of cinema to the scene in which our hero, Indiana Jones is in the process of stealing a magnificent white stallion to chase after the villainous Nazis in an atempt to take back the mysterious and powerful Ark of the Covenant for the sake of mankind and a very nice government paycheck. Let's take a closer look as Indiana rides galiantly out from under the tent on his horse and as he rides into action let us pay close attention to the color of this socks. Class, what color do they appear to be? Yes class, they match the color of his steed quite well. It appears as though our hero has a clear sense of style.

I think its also interesting to note that the stuntmen playing Indy also wore black socks for their shots and I concur with Agent5, I've only noticed one pic of Indy wearing white socks. The pic agent5 metioned was of Indy relaxing in a lawn chair on the Tanis dig site in map room gear...

I checked out my Pan and scan version and those socks are black, not dark brown or brown, but black...where's ROB-DFW, when you need him?????sorry guys but at least in Raiders and at lest in the opening scenes when he comes crashing down the mound to stop (the boulder following ever so closely behind) and that ole french boy is there you can see Harry's socks and they are BROWN.

Well, actually the socks HF wears as part of his Indy costume are dark brown tube socks. I guess he dropped them in Tunisia, which is really no surprise.
On the "Making of Raiders" video, you can see the stuntman Terry Leonard sporting those, as well. Oh, and the highly accurate Toys McCoy Indy figure also has them.

That would be a good explanation as to why some of us see the brown and some of us (who are seeing the brown) see the black. I'm sure lighting has a lot to do with it also.TheOther Jones wrote:Well, actually the socks HF wears as part of his Indy costume are dark brown tube socks.

Here's a link to a thread from Rob-DFW that may be related to this thread in that it shows and also explains (in a link) our perceptions of color, hue, shading, etc.

Since day one, I've always worn a JC Penney exclusive brand of dress socks called Stafford. They come in both dark brown and black. The brown type are the exact shade of the Alden shoelaces, and match perfectly. These socks are very comfortable, and fit the bill perfectly. No self respecting adventurer should travel without them.

Sorry, guys, but no matter what pic or screen I look at I still see black...

Dale's comment demonstrates a great way to figure this out. Try to compare it with the dark brown of the gunbelt or in TOD the black bag strap...I see black socks.The brown type are the exact shade of the Alden shoelaces, and match perfectly.

That is what I'm talking about Philip! I got a bunch of them from the U.S. Army ROTC. And they are nice socks too.Indiana Philip wrote:At least this is one bit of Indygear we can all pretty much afford. I've got a ton of black socks courtesy of the US Navy. Many of them are the thicker ones meant to be worn with combat boots, so they should go quite well with the Aldens when I'm out adventuring. Yippeee!!!

We're too far gone for that my friend.
To paraphrase one of my favorite lines:
"God protects fools, little children and guys who collect Indy Gear."
Although the first and the last might be one and the same sometimes.

Maybe I'll bring it to MK's attention one of these days. I'm not all that concerned. I don't really like the idea of rankings. Just because you have a whole bunch of posts doesn't mean you're any more of an expert than anyone else ... you just talk a lot ...

Yep, in that shot they look brown on my monitor. The sunlight brings out the brownishness (word?). I think the other shots are too dark because of the shadows. When you zoom in on my shot there is no question it's brown.Indy Magnoli wrote:I don't know... that pic DFW posted looks more like brown socks to me. The highlight on them would be more blue/grey if they were black, right
