the "best" Indy shirt?...

[darthwhitey]

hey guys

i am looking for an Indiana Jones "Raiders" style shirt to go on my new Howard 1:1 bust

i found this one from LL Bean, is the color too dark?

or what about this one? i guess these guys made the original Indy leather jackets...

The most accurate should be the shirt from Marc (Adventurebuilt). He is a member on this forum.

The LL Bean shirt is generally regarded as too dark for RAIDERS, but OK for TOD. Not sure about CRUSADE.

Yes, the Wested shirt looks RAIDERS accurate. They did indeed make the original jackets, but not the shirts. It's pricey for US folks - $78 and I dunno how much in shipping.

This shirt is one a lot of people use. Cheaper for US, only $58, but they're kind of short on sizes right now:

Todd's Costumes shirt looks good, but is not available yet.

The most widely used, cheapest US shirt is this one, in "stone" color. But the backorder is FOREVER. It's said 13 weeks for about 3 months now:

Hope that is helpful.

is this Marc's site?...what is his username here?

http://www.adventurebilthats.com/

so if i dont want to wait forever, and dont mind spending the extra $20 plus shipping then the Wested shirt is probably the way to go?

thanks again

:confused

Are only some sizes backordered? I ordered one in Stone within the last couple of weeks, and got it in under a week. Not the most accurate shirt available, but it looks the part.

i just called Cabela's and ordered a "stone" shirt for $26 plus shipping, i should have it in a week...

if i dont think it's accurate enough i can just wear it myself...:lol

...and i just PM'd "Marc", thanks!

 

[rickrickrick]

"Tall" in "medium" color in "stone" for someone over 6' and slender, backordered for an eternity.:cry

oh, that is a bummer

i just opted for a regular style in large (i'm 6'2")...i could probably wear it if necessary, and its only going on a bust...i even considered a medium since it s a bust

i will post pics when it arrives...

the shirt came and looks good...

i ordered a large, but since it's going on a bust should i have ordered a SMALL?
