Late Night Observation (nim)

I have noticed an interesting parallel between Herbert Johnson & Peter Bros and Wested and Flight Suits. Both HJ and Wested made the original gear for Raiders. Now American companies are making gear that is closer to the true items worn by Ford in Raiders then the original British providers. Now, Peter is a very nice man just struggling to run a small business, but HJ has a rep of making snide remarks like, “oh, another American Indiana Jones nut”. Indiana Jones is an American icon. Do the American craftsman have more heart for our maverick hero? Do the Brits have a hard time relating to the trail-brazing spirit of our whip-wielding adventurer? Americans ARE explorers at heart. Do the Brits perceive us as immature and childish running around in our brown leather jackets and fedoras?

Just a late night thought.

BTW, I love England and British people. Especially their ales and pub grub :-)
