Club Obi Wan

Since about 13 years i go in Tunisia each year, i had the oportunity to see the Raiders location sets ( and star wars ) and met Tunisian people who worked on the movie as extra or crew ( i even met the son of the man who rent the white horse )... a very good friend ( Habib )introduce me to an old man who have a small shop in a small village called Nefta. ( where some scenes were shot ). he has some old tunic for sale that he made years ago all with the same pattern....of course i bought one from him !

is this tunic remember you something ?? 26 years old ?? who knows....

Incredible! That's amazing how the same dealer is still making the tunics.

doc, that looks fantastique! (ITG is looking around and awaiting Agent5's comment.)

AWESOME Laurent. Of course you bought a 2nd. for me right? - Oh, ok...

Regards,

Marc

Marc, next time i 'll go back in Tunisia i 'll pick up one for you....

HIGHLY appreciated Laurent!!!

Thanks a lot,

Marc

doc, have you seen any tops there like what Marion wore in Cairo (white peasant shirt with the red designs)?

hey ITG !

i havnt seen any marion top !! but honestly i was looking for indy tunic and nothing about marion but next time i'll look for...

Hey Doc,

That looks like the real deal to me. You could end up being our tunic connection. That guy could sell a ton of those here on COW.

Yeah, I know a lot of people have had trouble coming up with accurate Marion costume pieces. If you ever found that white and red shirt over there, it would be a miracle.

Here is a better pic of it !

if some of you folks on this forum are interested i can probably buy tunics for you ....

Does it come with instructions on how to put on the headpiece?

No ! there is no instruction ( but it's easy ) !! i even dont know if the man knows to write. it's from an old tunisian man from a small shop in a small village in a far country ! this tunic is from an old stock

That would make a pretty good dressing gown!

Out of nosiness, how much would one of those cost?

i paid about 80 dinars for it, 50 / 55 euros. about $62 / $65 i think

80 TND is 60.6290 USD and 47.3980 EUR.

Thats not bad, I'd be up for one if any tunic runs materialize.

I'd definitely be interested. Now I just need to convince my folks that this is a good thing to sink money into...

by the way, does the tunic come with the waist sash and turban? :junior: -IJ

only the tunic for that price !

but turban is about 10 / 25 dinars depend of the lenght

This is fantastic, I'll do some comparation with the movie shots!

Could you write more info how to find this shop in that city in case someone is going to Tunisia? It would be great for the archives of Indygear.com

pretty difficult to find if you dont know the place ! it is in a small street near a place called " la corbeille"...

I wonder if this tunic is not for women there ...

... i should go back there in august / september, i will try to get more infos

A map would be great for the archives

What about the sash? Or would it be simpler just to go to a fabric store and buy some white linen? :junior: -IJ

Wowsers! OK lets get the signup list happening...cause I want on LOL Thanks for all the wonderful info doc riviere!!

TAZ

I'm in too! :junior: -IJ

Me three.

And, me four... how could I resist? Most excellent, Doc. Thanks for this info!

Wow, this is great...Im interested as well, thanks Doc

Ok, when i know i go back i will let you know. of course i cant bring back a tunic for every one, it will depend of the size of my bag and the stock there but i think 6 or 7.
all the tunics are not the same color !
i choose mine the closiest as i can see in the movie, but there is all white, grey and sand if i remember

Okay, well please just try to get the closest color you can, and don't forget to give us instructions for measurments and payment before you leave. :junior: -IJ

No problem ! i need your shirt size M, L or XL and your height size.

for the payment, you will pay half of the price and the other half when i'll come back with the tunics. i dont want to get all the money and then have problem in tunisia, not enough tunic available, no more stock or else !

i will give you the curent price in USD before to leave. you can make the turban yourself if you want, just find a material fabric.

should i post a topic for the tunic in the "for sale or wanted" column ??

sure, the for sale column does seem like the best place.

By the way, my shirt size is Large in U.S. sizes. not sure what it is in European sizes though. I'm 73 inches tall, which I think is 1.85 meters. :junior: -IJ

Well, i have a lot of asking for the tunic and i cant take more for now !!

you have to understand that it is possible i cant found all the same color for each of you ! so thanks to tell me if it's not a problem for you and you dont care about it ( possibly to dry it i think )

Like I said, it's not a problem. Just try to get it as close as you can. Thanks, and sorry if I provided my measurments a bit early. :junior: -IJ

Dont be sorry indianajones !

in fact it's great if i have your size now, i can put it on the paper list.
it will be great also if all others members interested by the tunic send me via pm their shirt size and height size !

i have already the measurements of indianajones and floatinjoe

I still can't believe that agent5 isn't here yet. Looks like he's too busy selling all his collection at FS&WA.

Agent 5 has contacted me via pm already.

PM'd you my details...cheers mate:)

Doc, just curious if you made it back to Tunisia yet? Mike

Hey folks...This thread was cool. Now Laurent is so busy with Arks...maybe we should all put our heads together and see if we can do a bulk order and someone who is going to Tunisia can get us all on...oh and the sash and Turban. Anyone????

Regards
TAZ

Nice, doc.

Thanks for the post indy Taz !

i had to cancel my trip last year, for some events, but this year will be to good one ! i will post at time a new thread.

with my actual job , ark kits replica and spartiate helmets from "300", that's right i'm pretty busy ! i work also some time on the indy bust ...

When do you think you may be headed back? I would like to be on the list for one if/when you do go.

Any chance that those of us on the list from last year could have first shot at items this year?

Mike

I would most certainly be interested as well, should any order slots open up!

Yes !!

Thanks doc, there's always something cool about having "head of the line" privileges.

Any word on these? I know I'd like to have one.


Zed

Me too!

OH man. I'd really like one of these, but unfortunately I'm broke for now. Ask me in a month and I might have money. This is really an incredible find.
