    Seven Years in Tibet Jacket...

    Actually, Heinrich was Austrian. But, I did look up the 'Trachten' jackets & coats & mostly found the collarless or stand-up collar variants. None that resembled the single breasted pea coat. I think that this may be an impossible task as this coat only existed in a costume designers imagination...

    BT: The white WW1 pattern German trousers, is this something that you made or found out there in the WWW? If they are a find, where might I procure those herringbone trousers? Cheers! Dan

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Yeah, I know what you mean. But this would be the best time to get a bargain on such garments. If all else fails I may have to get one made. I might talk to a local seamstress & see what she can come up with. The other item I like that he has there is the silk kata or 'offering scarf', given to...

    Still trying to achieve this adventure look. About half way there. I think all I need is the jacket & I'll be set. It would be neat to have it put together for Christmas time up at Mt. Hood. Cheers! Dan

    Seven Years in Tibet Jacket...

    Here's another shot of that jacket. You can see one of the chest patch pockets a little clearer. And this smaller image. It's about the best one I could find to show the cut of the coat. About hip length, sort of like a single breasted pea coat with patch pockets. I'd presume a half belted...

    Seven Years in Tibet Jacket...

    Hey Gang! I'm sure that many of you here have watched 'Seven Years in Tibet' with Brad Pitt. I've been on the lookout for a very similar jacket that he wore at the end of the film. It is a green wool, I think loden wool, sort of styled after a hunting jacket or jaeger with wide lapels & collar...

    The Stetsonian Institution

    Wow! Stunning specimen of a hat. I always love to see such pristine lids like that. It's like getting a brand new custom to be proud of. Yes, the hat will always let you know what it wants to look like & it can't be persuaded otherwise. Good job! :eusa_clap Cheers! Dan

    Stetson 5X Clear Beaver, 1942

    Now,can we see you in a pic wearing the hat. It would look best if you were dressed like Tom Mix or Hopalong though. ;) lol It's a fantastic specimen of the era and should be worn. Yes it is a piece of history, but what good is it if it just hides away in a box and can't be shared? Cheers! Dan

    Indy hat post em up

    Thanks Tone. That Fieldmaster is holding up great. Softened up real nice & has a shape I like now. Yes, I did trim the brim on it so it fit more proportionately to my face. I think the only thing I want to change on it now is the sweatband. The reeding is a wire & in the process of softening &...

    Radio Classics, XM 164

    This last week was a tribute to James Stewart as it was his birthday week. They played Plenty of The Six Shooter. The Philadelphia Story, Magic Town & Call Northside 777. They had a parody of Bend in the River on the Jack Benny show that was hilarious. After listening to TPS, I just had to watch...
