Club Obi Wan

Guys this shirt IS the indiana jones shirt, I don't care if that artist greek-surnamed guy designed the shirts for Raiders, THIS is the most screen accurate shirt ever. I just got it from the post office and I still have to take the camera.
I'll do some shots with the wested next to it since I remember someone wanted a comparison.
The cotton of NH shirt is SOOOOOOOOOO light and ... well perfect for this season, I'm roasting here on my chair, it will be hard to take full gear pictures, but I'll try!
There are some differences with the wested shirt of course (mostly about the measures... like pocket sizes etc) but the main noticeable one is the colour. The wested is lighter colour (although it has been washed many times while the NH is just out of the plastic).
Ok ok enough of talking... pictures soon

Don't post if you don't have pics. And please other guys, don't overuse the stupid "This Thread Is Worthless Without Pics" smiley.

Well I just had a chitchat with Noel on the phone, he was very nice and told me many interesting things
Ok now i run to take pictures

Don't trip.

LOL, well some people trip for much less!


Here the pictures


NH vs Wested



this is for the colour issue...

Raiders...............................................................LC

Please button the shirt, I don't want to drown in Canyon's drool.

Lookin' good.

LOL well I couldn't help, it's too hot to button up to the neck!!!! Now I understand Ford in Tunisia!!!

Thanks VP

Looking great. Got to set this at my list of "wanna have"-things.

Need ... more ... money! Gotta find some pieces and sell them in ... Marrakech.

In this picture


you can see how an authentic brown lamb jacket can look dark brown, how you can't see grooves where they are, how a khaki shirt can look "STONE" and brown trousers can look "taupe". Amazing the tricky effects you can get behind a camera (or videocamera) aren't they?

Yeah, but the hat still doesn't look gray.

VP wrote:Yeah, but the hat still doesn't look gray.

true

(but looks like Well of the Souls-scenes to me )

Your brim looks a bit flat, BTW. It looks like it isn't turned.

erri, what is the contact to order a NH shirt ?? since MBA is closed i always thought NH shirt was no more available ?? i missed something....

well you missed the page on the main website

http://www.indygear.com/contacts/noel.shtml

here is everything you need including his not-secret email btw this is it: NHowardUk@aol.com

VP wrote:Your brim looks a bit flat, BTW. It looks like it isn't turned.

well that's someway true. I turned it but not as much as it would need just because the bow would have moved too much on the front (and that wouldn't have been raiders-esque either). So I opted for a not excessive turn in order to have the bow in the right place

First, I hope you know you can always give it to me!

No seriously it's a great shirt and I like VERY much!(who wouldn't! )
It's interesting to see how the light changes the color, in your first pic it looks exactly like in the Pankot palace scenes!

Now we wanna see pics of you fighting against swordsmen in the streets of Florence!

Well, as some of you have now gotten items, it has been told to us that Noel will be offing up his Indy items. We've been waiting for official word to post his list and info (though as erri stated, his contact info is on the main site... who'da thunk it?).

Noel didn't want to be bombarded with orders, as he's now a one-man operation, which is why we've taken our time posting his list. I'll contact him to see if he's ready for us to post it yet.

something similar would happen if I ask a discount to a shopkeeper in Florence (they are very greedy here)

That's the thing Mike but he's still selling his stuff if someone contacts him interested (canyon and others contacted him and now they have a NH shirt and/or trousers). Sometimes he doesn't answer imediately because very busy, he has some other engagements (don't get excited, it's not Indy4, I asked ) which keep him busy enough most of the time.

BTW the list on indygear.com has the correct prices, doesn't need to be updated I think.

Man, that's a nice shirt... How much was it incl. shipping taxes and what knows?

Errico, do you own other shirts that you can compare it to regarding quality, screen accuracy etc.?

Regards,

Marc

According to the main site the shirt costs 55 pounds and the shipping is about 25 pounds. That would make it 80 pounds, which is 115.790 euros. We are in the European Union so there's not supposed to be any taxes or customs.

With taxes (the famous british fecking VAT - 17.5% if i'm not wrong) and shipping it costed me 88 pounds all included. Ok ok, it costed to my girlfriend since it was her gift (what a lovely girl I have!!!!)

I own a Wested shirt which you can see in the picture above. The quality is really great, screen accuracy I think is the best you can get. Far better than the Wested but if Peter allows me I could help in improving his shirt.
I wrote something about all this before, Marc, have a look some previous posts

Great shirt Erri! Now you got more clothes to use when you work for your goverment.. Polling was it?

Indy_Railok wrote:Great shirt Erri! Now you got more clothes to use when you work for your goverment.. Polling was it?

ahahah yes but it was too hot at the polling station, I've worn shorts and t-shirt

Thanks

Great shirt Erri! The color looks perfect!!!

Erri, the shirt looks great. Mr. Howards shirts are definitely necessary for the thinner fans. We are about the same measurements if I remember right. I had to have some more taper cut into the shirts by a tailor to keep the shirt from ballooning at my waist. Will you be doing that as well? Every time the wind blows, my shirt would be flapping around like a party streamer.

So what is next for you?

Thanks Weaver

I doubt I will modify my shirt but thanks for the suggestion although I didn't see it ballooning too much

What's next? Isn't that clear??? TROUSERS!!!!



(birthday is near )

Erri, the shirt looks fantastic on you!

VP, I was just going to say that Erri looks very handsome.

LOL, thanks Canyon, it's really a great shirt!

VP wrote:Yeah, but the hat still doesn't look gray.

VP, that is because he doesn't have on his navy blue suit.

Yeah, you'll have to get one from Magnoli Erri.

Great looking shirt. Wish I could afford one. That's about $160 for a shirt.

That's a good example of the colors too (tan looks stone, brown looks dark brown, etc.) I'd say it looks like the LL Bean tan color or maybe a little lighter. Hurry up and get the paints too. I'd like to see some comparisons of those.

The pants cost a fortune, $280 plus shipping.

What of those things made out of gold?

Indeed. I though Aldens were bad.

They may well be, Hand & Lock are famous for their gold thread embroidery, maybe they bought him out for his gold thread?

Thanks for the pics and details Erri. It was I that wanted a them compared LOL You have been very helpful in chosing whether to sell my Grandmother or not LOL

Shirt looks great. I was going to say you looked handsome too...in a purely male...cough...mates type of way

Regards

hey erri, what are your measurements, and what size did you get?

Shoulders look pretty spot on, but everything looks pretty much standard OTR fit.

But it's a little tough to tell how it fits on the rest of the body - are you that proud of the shirt or are you in the military? That is some pose you have got going there!

fit is the main thing that's preventing me from pulling the trigger. My neck falls right at medium, but i'm think the small would fit better / closer.

oh- and is the VAT tax international or domestic?

Guys you're funny! I'm still laughing

Thanks for the compliments and no, the shirt is not made of gold, it's just pricey (the price of accuracy I suppose )

milesfides wrote: are you that proud of the shirt or are you in the military? That is some pose you have got going there!

I'm proud of my shirt yes and I'm not in the military I was just trying the "Pankot Palace pose"

The shirt is a medium with long sleeves (called medium/long)

Ah, that's good to know that they offer long sleeves for us simian types. That's what I was worried about was of the rack body/sleeve size being right for me.

I am trying really hard to check out the shirt but I just can`t take my eyes off the beautiful hat! AAAARRRGH!

great color comparisons..really made a sharp point!
What little I can see from my side low view, it is a great looking shirt!
enjoy...

Tell me your measures, I'll tell you if it fits.

Gorak thank you and thanks for the compliments on my hat aswell

what about delivery time?

PLATON wrote:what about delivery time?

1 week for Italy. It was a registered mail, it means you have to sign to get it.

Hi, erri-wan!

Nice shirt! I noticed your NH shirt has a centre chest button which is in line with the pocket buttons, as in Raiders. My NH shirt, which is one of the first he produced, doesn't have this. Just wondering, is this a correction you specifically requested or was it an adjusted feature of later NH shirts?

Noel told me that this is the first of the new line he's making, new improvements have been applied to his shirts for more screen accuracy

erri,

Fantastic shirt, you Keanu Reeves lookin' B@3%^&*d.

That shirt looks spot on and is worth every penny.

You wear it well, young man.

Erri, how is the size of the NH compared to the Wested? Can You order same size to get same fit?

Cheers

It is tighter than the Wested. Wested is just too big IMO.

Okay, So where does that place the WPG-shirt on Your scale?

I don't have a WPG but i've heard they are very... roomy?

erri_wan wrote: I don't have a WPG but i've heard they are very... roomy?

They are indeed! In fact You can invite a few friends inside for a party on a rainy day

No offense to the WPG though. I wear mine a lot and i like the extra room for many activities. I just thought my Westeds were the tight ones, so if the NH is even tighter I just might start looking like Harrison Ford... Naaaaaa, who am I kidding? I'll need plastic surgery for that

Cheers
