Club Obi Wan

Not screen accurate, but exactly as delivered to the set. In other words brand new. Like a new HJ fedora without the turn or tight pinch put in.

It's kind of weird sticking point me. For example, if I care about as delivered to the set, would I buy a Wested Legacy with D-rings instead of buckles? They delivered it to the set with D-rings right? They're the maker of the original jacket, but they're not the ones who originally put the buckles on. So what is more authentic if you are trying to collect as new?

Pretty sure they were delivered with the turn and rectangular buckles. I’d say that most hats have a turn in them since no turn would have to be exactly straight, and there’s always a margin for error. I think the turn was unintentional and just Deborah or Richard quickly putting a bash in.

That's a term I've never heard before... I like it! I guess I try to collect "as delivered," since I have a few items from Indy 4 that I never altered or distressed (i.e. jacket, fedora, etc).

I'd argue that even if an original vendor could produce a product to be more screen accurate, adding in changes that they didn't include originally (e.g. D rings), that makes it less screen accurate to me. The only exception is if they can source the EXACT make and model of whatever they are altering, and there were no telltale signs on the screen used prop that indicates it was changed.

For a hypothetical example, assume Schott were to send a zippered A2 to a movie production, and wardrobe replaced the zippers with magnets, but left behind fabric strips where the zippers used to be... Later, Schott offered a replica with the same magnetic closures instead of a zipper. Nitpicky indeed, but in my opinion that change devalues the product.

Another example would be Nowak changing his replica Indy IV jackets to be more durable, and less screen accurate (even though you'd never know it unless you tore apart the jacket). Changes like that just strays away from the direct lineage IMO, and make it more of a distant imitation.

But getting back to the original question, I think most folks prefer getting use out of their gear and not babying them!
