: : : Hey DAle,
: : : I have to agree with you on this one.I posted my pic a while back
: : : and i got no good comment.ALL i got was "what kinda hat is that"
: : : and "hey you look like my cousin".
: : : Damn them all.
: : : I spent a hellava lot of money on my hat,wested,NH shirt,Nh bag and strap
: : : Nh belt and now(i ordered it on sunday thanks for your help)my noel
: : : howard pants.
: : : I mean id just like a nice comment now and again and im starting
: : : to feel that its jealousy!
: : : Cheers ,
: : : KENNETH.

: : :
: : : : This is the damndest thing I've ever seen.Whatever happened
: : : : to common courtesy? Everytime I put a picture of me up here for
: : : : everyone to see (pictures that, despite their appearance, were
: : : : very hard to make), all I get is bad reviews. Did it ever occur to
: : : : you that all I want is maybe one or two people to look at it and
: : : : say, "Hey, that's cool!" or "Wow! You look sort of like Harrison Ford!" Know I know why Beth calls this the interNOT.

: : Hey guys. I kind of feel like Michaelson does. It's hard to know how people will react. To Kenneth, I wanted to say that I remember a while back you were concerned with how your Raiders jacket looked and fit. I think it looks very good, and I was glad to see a pic of you in it. Just the way the leather looks kinda reminds me of the jacket in the opening Raiders sequence. Very cool.
: : And to Dale: I have an 8x10 of Ford in that pose on my wall. Good recreation and cool complete gear (I'm almost there). Nice job on finding a look-alike gunbelt, where's it from? Also, are those the NH pants? If they are, what size did you order versus say, what size you wear in jeans? (I know I posted about this before) Just curious. There is a pic of me on the web(www.leathersbymaryterry.com/leathers25.htm I posted this before too.) It's just a pic of me in a Indy style jacket I had a woman make for me. It was before I knew anything about Wested. I had no idea that she was going to post it on the web, hence the hideous yellow shirt (a tribute to my late little bro, who loved hideous yellow shirts) and the squint from the sun in my eyes. considering using only pics and guesswork to make the jacket, it didn't come out too bad. she mostly does work for bikers, so she liked doing something a little different.
: : After I get the pants, whip, and Aldens, I'll post a pic of me in the whole shebang. I would have it all now, but I just had to have a Wested from every film!
: : See ya! DeWayne

: Well, to answer your question regarding the gunbelt: David Morgan
: makes Indy's bullwhip. After I ordered the whip, Morgan's company
: started sending me their catalog. In it, one can find an assortment
: of Filson products: bags, jackets, and belts. I e-mailed Filson directly
: to request a full-color catalog of their products. I discovered that
: their leather belts (style 203-1 1/4) looked exactly like Indy's
: leather "equipment belt" from Last Crusade. It also matches the color
: of a Wested jacket exactly. But the Filson buckle was a gold color,
: somewhat squarish with a roller bar. I searched everywhere for a
: silver semi-circle buckle, but to no avail. Then one day I noticed
: that my dad's belt, the same one he's been wearing for years, had a
: silver semi-circle buckle exactly like Indy's!!! He was more than
: happy to trade buckles with me. And that's how I obtained my gunbelt.
: Also, Filson has been in business since 1897, making the highest-quality,
: rugged American-made gear around. I bought a Filson Rucksack from
: David Morgan and it is the last backpack I will EVER buy!!! It's
: virtually indestructable. (The kicker for me was that it looks exactly
: like something Indiana Jones would have carried.) I keep my bullwhip
: and satchel in it when I travel. I'll zip over to David Morgan and
: get you the URL so you can see it. I think you will agree that it
: matches Indy's outfit perfectly. Be back soon!!!

: -Your friend,
