    Indy Jone's Shirt...need Idea's?

    I'm not even going to attempt the Leater Jacket...because I know I'll never pull it off. But...He doesn't always wear it...so I'll settle for just the Shirt. Can anybody think of an existing Figure that might have a Shirt like Indy's...that might fit the bill? Thanks.

    A CHiPs shirt would work with brown pants. There is a jacket in the Bratz boys line that you could shorten the length and it would work -

    Here's mine (one of the first customs I did - I have since changed the shirt, pants, repainted the head....just about everything ). Dave Mc has made one as well as some others -

      Oh...and NICE Figure by the way! The Chip's Shirt would work...because it's short Sleave, and I don't plan on doing the Coat. But I'l try and find the BRATZ one...thanks!

        White shirt from the CTVT tuxedo set is a great shirt.
        Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

          No a bad Idea...but Indy's is a little more Tan...maybe I could Dye it?

            The AJ Safari outfit has a tan shirt that could be customised (tucked in) and work well. It also has good Indy style boots and a hat that Im sure could be worked into the right shape.

            Alternatively, the CTVT Ralph Malph shirt that is under his yellow vest would be good Im sure.

            Indy is a great character, I look forward to seeing your custom.

            Good luck!!

              Shirt

              The new AJ military figure has a great shirt, thats what I used...before that I used a Bo Duke shirt that I soaked in tea to get the color I liked.

                  Dip the shirt in hot tea and you'll have a nice tan shirt. Ralph's shirt sleeves are 3/4 length -- too short.

                    Yeah its long sleeved. Check it out on the AJ gallery. Its already the right colour and will have that military style Indy wears.

                    I agree that the jacket isnt really necessary, essentials would be the 'manbag', whip and a Chips revolver. An idea for the whip would be a brown waxed shoelace with some thin wire threaded down the middle to make it poseable.

                      Yeah...thanks Man! That is the right ticket! Already ordered the Man-Bag(Green Goblin), and have a Catwoman Whip & a Revolver.

                        If you decided to go with a jacket after all, but can't find the Bratz jacket I heard you could peel off the outer layer of a Fonz jacket and it's brown underneath. I think Dave MC did that with his

                          There is an AJ safari suit on Ebay, I would question that shipping cost though!!!

                          I look forward to the finished article, looks like you have some good bits coming together nicely there.

                              Heck, I'd look for a beat up shirt and tear it up, and go for the jacket-less Temple of Doom look.
