: : Not to sound rude but, why is alot of this forum about buying indiana jones clothing and stuff? I admit, I bought a Indiana Jones Fedora but that was just for fun. Does anyone actually dress like Indy?
: I wear my Alden's to school, and when I get my Wested I will do the same w/ it. Some of Indy's items are practical, like with my Alden's- I go to a Jesuit High School and its required that you wear a form of dress shoes....well the 405's are in the "Casual" category by Alden's, if you pair'em with a pair of khaki's they pass for dress shoes.
I doubt if anyone here dresses just like Indy, but many of us wear Wested jackets and some wear fedoras. Speaking of myself, I wear my fedoras on a daily basis,and when I get my Wested I will wear both together without feeling self conscious. In the summertime I wear safari shirts I bought from Cabelas with my fedoras, usually with Levis but occasionally with khaki pants. Perhaps to an untrained eye I could be seen as dressing like him, but in reality I am not. regards, Steve
