I think it looks very Raiders from where I'm sitting. Maybe the hat could do with a bit more turn, but that could be the angle not showing it all that much on the brim.

I think you have got it down for Raiders! :D Good job!

that is great gear sparrow for sure. one thing that i do notice of peter bros hats is that they are typically quite tall. if you're asking what i'd change, i'd have to say a shorter crown and darker boots.....maybe a warmer brown on the bag strap as it's kind of reddishy brown (which is kind of wierd as i have a magnoli strap and it looks dead on so it could be just the picture quality). everything else deserves a loud "sig heil (sp?)" from the stitch nazi camp :D

.....now go and get everything dirty :lol:

I think it looks pretty dead on. I do have to say that the only issue I have is the turn in tha hat, or lack there of. Other than that, beautiful.

your boots are SA to the truck chase scene which showed boots that are comperable to today's standard alden offering.....oops, i meant last year's. today they are a tad darker but still a long reach from actual hero raiders boots. michaelson has got some deep brown boots that are very comperable to the raiders style. my AF64 from carmel look pretty close....just don't look at the rugged sole's :cry:

whats key for me is that the stitching on the moc toe should be dark as well....can't find those on the standard offerings.

i hope you disregard my comments or your in for one expensive ride.....there's no hope for me anymore so save yourself if you can. all in all, i think your gear is great.

cheers

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! How old are your Magnoli pants? Are they the 100% British wool ones?

Bullwhip looks delicious, jacket looks great, hat bash looks dead on, shirt looks perfect... what can I say? You've got the Raiders look going on!

Dude. Your gear looks awesome! :clap: I can't believe your bag strap came from Todd's. I got mine from him about a year ago and its a lot darker. Yours looks a lot closer to the Raiders strap than mine. And I'm jealous of your jacket, it looks great. Overall, GREAT gear. Very Raiders. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Good look overall. I too, noticed the reverse taper in the tall hat. A suggestion for the shirt, though. Wash it (hand or machine) and let it dry on a hanger, not in a dryer. Do not iron or press it. I think you want a more rumbled look.

Nice outfit that looks like it all came together in a relatively short few months, if it took that long.

GREAT lookin' gear! I'd say just get in a few fights with that shirt on and you'll be golden...still looks too crisp. Everything else is spot on...as for the turned hat: frickin' awesome.

agreed - nice gear. something that I have noticed that a lot of people do is wear the gunbelt too loose - like a cowboy/gunslinger. Looking around my office at all of the Indy pics, he wears his pretty snug, almost over the web belt. Tighten that up, and you're golden, baby!

Wow Indiana Holt, that new strap is spot on to the Raiders strap. Mine looks like the darker one you have. I might have to look in to getting one of these soon.

Holt, my strap that i bought just a couple weeks ago looks like that dark one of yours. And after I Pecard'd it, it's near black almost. How long ago did you get your lighter brown strap?
