So recently I began to accumulate the things that appealed most to me... hat, jacket, boots.
My first purchase was a Penman fedora. Not yet made of course, but on order none the less.
Next was a USWings Cowhide Legend. Really digging that jacket.
And now these:
They are the 403 in brown. Quality footwear in my opinion, and the break-in period was non-existant. Comfortable from day one.
Already thinking about another pair.

Looks like 403's. Great pair of boots there, and they only get better and more comfortable with wear. I always wondered if HF wore his 405 boots when he was a carpenter and if these were the same ones he used in Raiders?

Yes, they are 403's... I just edited my post to say that.
Always wondered the same thing about the movie.

That color is so rich looking. Very nice boots. Indy Aldens are my next purchase.

Re: Start of gear
I think the general consensus is that he probably did wear 405's when he was a carpenter. I'm sure they ordered a number of pair specifically for the movie, though, as they did with all other items of gear.Texan Scott wrote:Looks like 403's.

I'd say you are off to great start with the gear.
