Hey there!
Putting together a costume for my birthday next Autumn. Have a few props laying around and got myself a whip a while ago with the intention of making the costume - so those are fine. I think my costume will be a mix and match of sorts. Probably would like to get two pairs of pants (one weathered lightly and other full on blood and grime) and three shirts (lightly weathered Cairo, end of Raiders style and Temple shirt); at least at some point.
Aldens I will not be buying - 600€ per pair, not worth going for the accuracy there. Have kids to feed. Was thinking of Wested boots. And I think WhatPriceGlory have a pair of similar boots too.
Fedora you can recommend for me. Love the Raiders look, it is iconic. Actually like all the films for different reasons, Temple is the first I saw which I love, Raiders is plot wise the best for me and Crusade is probably the most polished and funniest of the original three. I’ve even grown a bit more fond of the fourth one (CGI in that one still bugs me though). Now I’m a tall guy, 195cm to be exact and not the most buffest guy, so don’t want to look like a fool so that is why I’m asking for opinions. Would love a Herbert Johnson but if there is a better option - I’d love to hear.
Leather coat is obviously Wested. Which model and leather though..? Raiders?
Pants - I was thinking either Wested or WhatPriceGlory.
Shirt - Again either Wested or WhatPriceGlory.
Accessories like gun belt, web belt, holster and whip holder - well see the pattern above.
Now I’ve read numerous threads on Indy stuff way back when I was a kid at Club Obi Wan, here etc. So I do know quite a bit but with limited funds I’d like to have the best start for pre-weathering (cost and quality wise). I guess I’m trying to say I’m still a bit confused what route I’d like to take and asking for some advice due to that. Wish I could look a bit more like Harrison though, haha.
Thanks in advance!
