: There's been a lot of bickering and complaining over the colour
: of aldens and what they were "like" in the films etc latley.
: Id just like to say that when i was at mba last year i saw a pair of
: original aldens from Raiders.They were NOT red or brown(as they appear
: at the beginging of the film).They were a khaki/very light brown
: colour and boy were they worn.Im preety sure that sandpaper had been
: used on them as the leather had that suede feel to it that you get when leather is sanded.Personally i think that they looked most like the scene when indy climbs upon the mound and stamps his shovel
: into the ground.Then again colour varies from tv to tv and video
: to video.For example i could not belive the colour difference of the
: pants and shirt when i saw raiders in the cinema than on my video.
: They were much closer to the MBA versions.One could never get an exact
: replica of the boots as it is obvious that there was many colour variations of the boots (and the other gear)in each film.
: Just my two cents!,
: Cheers,
