: : : : The Indyfan Forum brought to the fans attention that I made the original jackets for Indiana Jones for which I thank you. I read the forum but rarely comment as I believe in free speech. But it appears that certain people who copy my jackets and maintain to be Official??
: : : : supplier licensed by Lucas are attempting to mislead the true fans.
: : : : Lets get one thing straight I made the jackets, Lucas made the film. I dont make films and Lucas does not make jackets. So any Jacket licenced by Lucas is only a copy of my jacket.I cant stop ripoff companies getting a licence to copy my jackets but YOU KNOW who made the real thing. Enough said.
: : : : By the way yes we did make the costumes for the new STAR WARS and also the uniforms in THE MUMMY and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and ENTRAPEMENT and 007BOND and I do have some originals.
: : : : Sorry if I appear to be on my soapbox(English Expression)but I am proud of what I do and sometimes take offence.
: : : : My support for the true fan is undeminished.
: : : : Cheers Peter

: : : We'll continue to preach the word. You keep making them, we'll keep selling/buying them and reaching out to the infidels who haven't heard the word yet. (grins) HIGH Regards. Michaelson

: : I quickly point out that the funds are definitely flowing the wrong way for it to be true!

: : Cheers!

: But personally I'm flattered to think that folks believe somehow I'd be actually connected to either one of these high end and quality firms. Like you, nope, I'm not either, but as I've told folks before quality people who operate businesses are getting few and far between. When I experience one, I'll recommend them to a potential buyer in a heart beat. I feel that strongly about it, and I'm not making a dime doing it (to my wife's alarm(grins)). Regards. Michaelson

Amen. I've worked with and for all sorts of companies over the years. I've become somewhat jaded, as it no longer ceases to amaze me how really shoddy businesses can thrive and prosper in spite of themselves.

Then you come across the Alden's and Wested's. They've made it work by making a quality product. They build from a solid work ethic, attention to detail and customer, and fairness and honesty. You just have to love watching companies like these prosper.

I'll tell anybody who wants to hear (or even if they don't) about these companies and their products. There is just too much crap out there to let the hidden treasures go unheralded.

OK Peter - now I'm off my soapbox.

Cheers!
