Comment on alden colour etc.

There's been a lot of bickering and complaining over the colour
of aldens and what they were "like" in the films etc latley.
Id just like to say that when i was at mba last year i saw a pair of
original aldens from Raiders.They were NOT red or brown(as they appear
at the beginging of the film).They were a khaki/very light brown
colour and boy were they worn.Im preety sure that sandpaper had been
used on them as the leather had that suede feel to it that you get when leather is sanded.Personally i think that they looked most like the scene when indy climbs upon the mound and stamps his shovel
into the ground.Then again colour varies from tv to tv and video
to video.For example i could not belive the colour difference of the
pants and shirt when i saw raiders in the cinema than on my video.
They were much closer to the MBA versions.One could never get an exact
replica of the boots as it is obvious that there was many colour variations of the boots (and the other gear)in each film.
Just my two cents!,
Cheers,
Kenneth.
