Club Obi Wan

When I was in Petra in Jordan scene of TOD I let slip to a couple of my fellow tourists that were talking about Indy that I had made the jackets for the film. They in turn told the guide who when it came to the Indiana Jones film called me forward as a so called expert, so now the whole party knew, but it was all taken in good humour.
Now a year later I have had an email form one of the other tourists asking if I could make a jacket, not for her but for her Chiwawa Dog.
The name of the dog? INDIANA BONES!
True story
Cheers
Peter

Well, it has to be said, Peter....are you telling us your work is finally going to the dogs? I know. groan......


Regards! Michaeosn

Well I do feel that I am being HOUNDED and a bit RUFF around the edges!

LOL! And Peter, will you make the jacket? But don´t forget the bigger pockets for his feed

did she asked for a 80's cut?

No I have decided to refer her to FS to see if they can make at least one original design which I can then copy!

Yes, I think the 80´s fit would look great on a Chihuahua

I laughed so hard at that, I scared my daughter!! HAHAHA!!

If it wasnt Peter telling me this i could have never believed it!


Sorry guys, what's FS?

A custom Wested for a dog should fetch a pretty good price.

How do I work out the price between Chiwawa and Great Dane?
Will they want x box stitching and Gussets.
Does a Labrador have action pleats?
Does a blodhound have an inside pocket?
Will a poodle want authentic brown?
No it's too much to contemplate, and once you start it will lead to indycats and indyparrots. Forget I started think back to the good times on the Queen Mary and that strange falling down water called Gentleman Jack given to me by 9 of spades.

Ah, a new Gentleman Jack convert! MK and I got that put ON the QM, by the way. They had never heard of it when I first went to the ship! It's made about 15 miles from where I'm sitting. The nectar of the Gods!

Oh, and don't bother sending them to FS, Peter. They don't do custom work anymore.

Regards! Michaelson

Alright, get the measering tape....wait...um... how do I measure a DOG!

Why don't you make the jacket out of rawhide? Great story!

I cant believe a dog is going to get a custom wested from Peter before I do....I really need to get a job now

I think the pockets need to be large enough to accomodate bones...

"It belongs in a museu--hey, (chomp chomp) this is pretty good!"

I have an eighteen pound cat I call "Bear" . Maybe I could get one for him? That's a hoot, Peter!

Touche! Turn about is fair play.

I know THIS Dawg wears a Wested!!!

Peter-if you DO decide to do this, my killer Dachsund would just LOVE to have one, too, my man. (No, he really IS a killer).

High Regards, old friend!
Indydawg

Heck, I can't get him to reply to my requests for a size 44 cloth Wested or the washable suede idea, and here he is catering to dog jacket orders. What's Wested coming to these days!?

Never mind. I think I answered my own question in my first post here.


Regards! Michaelson

Yep-I guess you did

I just wish I had money to spend on another Wested. All this talk about the horsehide has me coming out of my skin to get one. I'd use the extra skin myself, but I don't tan well.....

Later!
Indydawg

You'll have to move further north, Dawg, before you'd even be able to wear a horsehide!

Regards! Michaelson

That has to be one of the strangest requests I have ever heard. I know some people like to dress their pets up, but a custom leather coat for dog is a new one.

Hey Michaelson, if you like Gentlemen Jack you oughtta try Woodford Reserve. I discovered that on a work trip to Louisville KY. Its smooooooth

great story! Haha, how does one measure a dog properly if some of us can't even measure ourselves right!

Think We should ask Fedora If he could make a dog sized AB

I've want to get my Bogie McJones into an Indy outfit for the kicks of it (He's tried Darth Vader much to his chagrin), but if I ever seriously go about it (meaning I have money to play with-which will probably be never), then I know where to go. Just gotta figure out the hat thing for little Bogie. A local Scottie Rescue group does an annual costume contest for the dogs and I've always thought it'd be fun to dress bogie up as Indy for it.

Oh, that Paris Hilton...

Peter--I am confused...was that a jacket FOR the dog or OUT of the dog?

Ok Ok . So who has sent me an email accredited to indygear.
A lady wanting me to make an indyjacket for her pussy? or rather a cat called Indy. I am reaching for the bottle.
I am NOT making pet jackets, you lot give me enough grief.
Michaelson is first in the queu for a latex indyjacket, extra tight fitting for what reason I shudder to think, and Indydawg wants to me to cover his killer sausage. Another of your countrymen wants a kingsize sheepskin bedspread with no joins. I know everything is big in the USA but a 6foot wide sheep?
I rest my case
Cheers and happy new crazy year.
Peter

Just noticed that Indiana Texas Girl is sharing her picture, is this something we should know about, old news, new news come on Holly tell me. Promise I will keep it a secret.

Defintion of a secret: Something you tell everyone one at a time.

you're a real funny man Peter.

ow thanks for the Jacket and say cheerio to Gemma

Well, my buddy Steve has been wanting to make his debut on this forum and I guess this thread just gave him his chance.

No kiddin', Michaelson. Here it is, middle of January, its 74 out and we're havin' tropical storms this afternoon.

Have I mentioned how much I miss Athens?

Peter-LOL....I don't know what Michaelson could want with that latex job either, man. Sounds like potential for a good time, though !

but you didn't have to tell everybody about my sausage, dude !

And what's ITG's news? I know I'm under the grad school rock and living in the boonies now, but what gives here?

Later y'all!
Indydawg

Your buddy Steve never looked so good

Ah, you laugh at my latex project....but we'll see how things progress with a completely wash and wear Raiders jacket for those who like to hit the road, travel light, and have a jacket they can treat rough, and yet toss in the washer and put back on while on the road.

Stay tuned.

Regards! Michaelson
