I was thinking the same thing.IndianaBogart wrote:Now all Todd needs to do is give us SA pants and he could potentially become our "one stop Indygear....something" I dunno. Anyway....very interesting news.
he has decent stuff for good prices.
I got (among other things) a "second-grade" bag strap from him for $10.00 that is far and away better in every way than a $30.00 strap (that I need to return).
I have my Aldens already, but this is good news regardless!

Hello to all,
The boots are on the boat. As soon as they arrive, of course there will be full details. Please don't e-mail for projected dates and pricing. We don't know what the freight will cost until they are here. But I can tell you they are commercial quality made by a factory that makes many popular shoe brands. The price will be between $50 and $100 per pair. Even sizes only. They will be very, very, very, very similar to Aldens but in a darker brown color. The materials will be of equal quality.
My purpose in life is to provide fans with the best reproductions at reasonable prices. BEST is a subjective term, of course, but by BEST I mean the most like the original wardrobe item as possible. Unless you HAVE the original wardrobe item, that is a matter of speculation, but over the years I have had the chance to eventually see many of the original wardrobe items I replicate, only to discover that my "interpretation" of the item was identical to the real thing.
As far as pants, I have lots of goodies in the pipeline, but I have learned not to announce things prematurely.

I got mine from Schmidty, paid less, waited less (even less than Schmidty quoted), and quality (so far) is as expected...
I will likley get a pair of Todd's to essentially 'destroy' for the sake of "screen acuracy", but I love the real Aldens. VERY comfortable- in fact, today I'm wearing my old, broken-in shoes and the new Aldens are more confortable!
Maybe I should just keep getting Aldens from now on!

If Todd's boots look as good as the rest of the gear he offers I will probably have to order them. I hope they end up being on the lower end of the $50.00- $100.00 range quoted though. I have Rockport Farnums in the natural tan finish that I paid $70.00 for and have yet to wear them out of the house and only worn them for a few picture sessions.

I haven't had the money lately to buy any new gear or even think about it. To save myself the heartache I've tried to avoid this section. So I've been out of the loop for some time in regards to what Todd's been up to.
These new boots sound awesome. Even though I have a pair of J Crew boots that are brand new I'd definitely spring for a pair of Todd's Indy boots IF they're going to be between $50 to $100.
Now some of this stuff like the boots and gun aren't some "limited time offer" type of deal are they? Because there's no way I'll have the money any time soon to purchase any of this stuff...
Heck, I still want one of his shirts!

If he started doing pants that would pretty much complete the full Indy gear costume. You could then plunk down a big wad of cash all in one discount wallop with a one stop shop, "Instant Indy Starter Costume".J!m wrote:I JUST asked him about the pants...
His answer:
"No pants "
So, don't hold your breath I guess is the translation on that...

I just darkened my Alden's with Pecard's and I really love these boots now. I'm actually worried about scuffing them. Maybe I'll pick up a pair of Todd's to distress.binkmeisterRick wrote:I will, but that has more to do with how great Aldens are on my feet than them being just "Indy" shoes. ;-)whipitgood wrote:I wonder how many people will still pursue real Alden's after these come out.
