Club Obi Wan

I just rediscovered these pics from when I went to MBA costumes in London to buy my first ever Indy bag. Noel Howerd and his staff were very courteous and once my bag was ready they asked whether I would like to see some of their screen used gear. I seem to remember a pair of trousers and some boots - but, of course it was the jacket that blew me away - and when Mr Howerd asked whether I wanted to try it on!!! Well... all I can say is it fit perfectly! It also sowed the seed for wanting to get an Indy jacket!
Hope you like the pics - going by the freshness of the scar on my hand, I guess this would have been around 2002-ish. And that's Noel Howerd in the background.

Wonderful story and great pics here! Thanks for sharing this! Really great memories for you here ! W>

Wow. I can only imagine. That is so cool.

That’s really cool.

My favorite jacket ,congratulations !

What an awesome memory that is and that jacket fit you perfectly! So cool of Noel Howard to let you try it on

Thanks for sharing! I remember going to visit Noel Howard and getting fitted for pants and a shirt (having already bought a W&G bag from him earlier). He wearily said "Well, I suppose you'll want to see these then" and proceeded to lay out screen-used Aldens, and pants. I don't think he brought out the jacket. It fits you like a glove! Great memories. I'm so glad I took the time to go there.

Good times.

Regards! Michaelson

Maaan, that is really awesome!

Ah, back in the days when (most) vendors were open and willing to share their knowledge to the community. Not have been slapped with NDAs or afraid to confirm what is and isn't theirs.

Simpler times.

How time flies ... Great Pics btw

Nice pics. I always liked the smaller pockets on the ToD jacket. Probably less useful as far as function, though.

Anyone know where that jacket is today?

If i'm good,Peter Botwright bough it years ago..information need to be confirm..
