Club Obi Wan

Hi.
Its been a while since I posted in this section but now I got something cool to show of.

I present my Last crusade jacket aged and weathered by me.

Pluss a Holt diary has to go along with this setup

Nicely done… Wested in brown lambskin? All distressing or is there some crafty dye talent at work as well?

Holt, the jacket looks magnificent! Awesome job on the distressing!

Wow! Holt, you could easily find work in Hollywood with your talents! W>

Nice work on the jacket.

What a nice combo. Diary, jacket and Fedora.

Yes I echo what’s been said, awesome job on the jacket.
Your gear is all so spot on.

Croft

The jacket looks amazing, as does the entire ensemble! Great job on the weathering.

Cheers,
Bear

Cant wait to put this together with my latest Mystery of the blues outfit. (Yes, I have new items. Again! lol)

This might be the best LC jacket distressing I've seen. Really nice work. Well done.

I mean you already sold me on the grail diary but ####, gonna need you to distress a jacket for me too

Cheers my friends!

No dye needed here. Just countless of distressing steps to get the right look.

Cheers!

Great work dude

He is very good, is he not? W>

A Wested Legacy LC? That's the one I think they got the most accurate to the original, especially the undercoat.

Indeed wested.

As I said before, very nice work.
But I’ve been And I want to compliment your lighting, it really shows the distressing perfectly.
So how did you set it up, as this is exactly what I want to do with my DoD jacket.

Holt, it's been said before, I've even said it about 15 times, but that jacket of yours is perfect. Really well done on getting it there! I have to distress mine a little more to get it more broken in I think...I love it, but don't wear it as much as I could, because I prefer the more broken in looking Raiders I have...Should fix that!

Also! I managed to print off the documents to send the Magnoli cardigan out to you, so as soon as I can get to the post office here, when it's open, it'll be sent out! Should be just after Christmas? I think that'll work! Monday or so maybe? 25th? I'll let you know the tracking number too over on FB..Sorry for the delay

Thanks bud! It was setup with overlight and underlight. This creates the perfect setup to bring out how it looks to the naked eye.

Any front facing light dulls everything out.

Thank you old friend! I really enjoy our conversations off line.

No stress about the cardigan. it'll get here when its time for it to show up. Im just really appreciative for your generosity

Magnificent ensemble there sir! Very nicely done.

Thank you!

Soon new and updtaed Mystery fo the blues

Beautiful distressing job Holt! I especially like the pockets. The colours are gorgeous, how do the undertones compare to your older jacket that you dyed?

Thanks!

its actually pretty close. but this current Legacy is better.

Holt,

Your jacket and distressing came out beautifully!

What is your jacket’s size and measurements?

The sleeve length to back length look great!

I have a size 46 and trying to get the proper back length according to my build. Curious to see what yours is because it looks really good!

Thanks.

This is a size 44. Im 6'2 so I had this made at 27. Sleeve is 25 I believe.

Thanks for sharing Holt!

You should be making these things for the Smithsonian.

Holt, I know you’re a stickler for details so seeing your action pleats on your jacket made me feel better about mine. I was noticing the other day that my action pleats are opened like yours. I couldn’t remember if they’re like that in the movie or not.
Amazing looking jacket

I’m pretty sure if you check out the beach scene, you’ll see them popped out like that.

I am jealous now ... Love your Jacket

Very nice

Finally had some time to do some outside shots of the jacket and the rest of my LC gear. COmes together quite nicely

Excuse my dumb mug in some of these shots.

The "golden hour" lighting works so well with this color scheme. I love how the jacket looks both thick and soft at the same time. That just screams LC to me.

Absolutely gorgeous jacket, Holt and these shots are awesome! Outstanding gear as well!

That´s fantastic Holt! The jacket looks even more beautiful in natural light! Overall your whole LC set is looking awesome
For me, your fedora also really nails the Castle Brunwald look!

Thanks mate! You know it! The brunwald is one of my absolute favorite looks and Im doing a better brunwald setup soon. I just threw on some LC gear without really trying to nail a certain look. It was more overall. For instance, thats a pleatless Destiny shirt and a rare 3 drain Temple bag. (which I love dearly)

But one thing that really sells the LC set is the jacket combined with the lighter colored pants with a heavier drape. Those are real deal officer pinks

Fantastic shots, Holt, just amazing!!

Cheers,
Bear

, ! You have my attention! Great jacket... Hey, the whole outfit is the stuff dreams are made of in Indyworld! Very good work! W>

Thanks guys, Really appreciated!

Soon Ill do a few more shots with my real deal Henry suitcase!!

So 'fess up, Holt -- you found a time machine (possibly the Antikythera?), went back in time and stole Harrison Ford's Last Crusade wardrobe!
Your gear looks amazing, and you're obviously having a great time on this photo shoot.

Can you share a few of your main weathering tips? And which brand are those great-looking pants?

Darn it! Somebody had to figure it out!

No for real, I wasnt even trying to get it really nailed down. It was just an overall LC look. Im doing the castle Brunwald look soon which is my favorite of them all. That will be slightly better.

But like mentioned, there are a few items which isnt LC. Temple bag with 3 drain holes at the bottom and Im wearing a destiny pleatless shirt, so...

Anyway..Im wearing an HJ, Legacy wested (of course!!), my whiskeyman 9 foot whip with david Morgan kangu hide, Man.... I have had this thing for 17 years and it still cracks like a canon. So Whiskey, if your reading. I still love it and never had one issue with it, still has the original fall too. Lets see.. Real webely holster, Custom LC gunbelt, real vintage web belt, slimmer LC bagstrap and darker Aldens.

And the pants, those are sick! They are real deal WW2 vintage officer pinks from which the Indy pants was inspired. If you look closely you can see the fat belt loops, Yeah, I still havent sent them in for a custom job. Im lazy. Too busy trying to replicate the grail diary.

But the yeah, the overlall look of the pants screams LC to me, the straight cut, the heavier drape, the pocket flaps and the lighter color. PLuss the big hem. Its close to the total package to me.

Weathering tips? Sandpaper, go EASY. stages, stages, stages. And water. Pretty much how they did it for the film.

Btw, I ordered 2 legacy jackets, well actually 3 Legacys. 2 in lamb and one in novapella. I wanted 1 for cosplay and two for wearing. But Im having the whole angel /demon shoulder thing going on when it comes to tearing up the second lamb

Also, Im slowly building the Destiny set. I personaly LOVE his look in the film as its so closley tied to Last crusade but with tweaks. Finally another tie in the franchise! Love it!!

Will be a fun project.

Nice pictures,crusade jacket in real action,Bravo !

We always look forward to your masterful projects. As far as weathering the jacket, I get the gentle application of sandpaper. But what do you do with water?

Very cool that you can just ‘throw together’ this gear and take shots like this-but it’s a testament to the level of detail and work you put into every piece. It looks like a natural progression of the costume even with little variations of the gear (which only would be noticed here lol).

I’ve never cared for pleats on the front of pants even when they were more fashionable. Are those pinks from Magnoli or vintage? What era is your HJ?

Anyway, awesome Holt!

Thanks! Will be fun to build. I know one thing tho. I dont like the alsmost black color of the destiny whip. Its alittle too zorro to me. So will probably keep that original. Water is used for forming the jacket to your body. To help break in.

Thanks! Much appreicated. The pants are genuine vintage WW2 pinks Hat era, not sure. Its been blocked by me and will probably do one more block before the brunwald set.
