If it is Raider Tan... Then I'm going for Saddle Brown myself.

Saddle Brown is actually lighter than Raider Tan, from what I've heard.

Yeah I've heard that the Saddle is actually pretty light. I don't know if I've seen a picture of how it looks, but others have said it's light. Josh has one and he told me it's pretty light colored. Maybe he can chime in on this.

Here's the comparison of Raider Tan and Saddle Brown from Wade's site: According to the site, Saddle Brown is on the left, and Raider Tan is on the right. Steven

In that pic, the Saddle Brown does indeed look darker. Looks good!

Thanks Noah! Raiders tan sounds right. PJ, I think the flash bring out more orange/red than there actually is. But it's actually roughly that color IRL. I think the darker color in the movie is because of the sweat going into it, which I might try to copy by rubbing oil or something in it. Thanks CJ! Definitely ready to go play in the wilderness.

Gotcha. So the next time you get the chance, you can post some better gear pics in good sunlight?

Will do. I don't think the difference will be extreme, though.

Better update this thread too. Copied: Okay, I started the distressing process. I've tried both household alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. Neither took the shine off. I probably just didn't rub long enough, I'm not sure. So I decided to go ahead and gently work it with sand paper. Some parts of the jacket took to it a lot faster than others, so it doesn't look the same all over, but I think it works. Sorry about the lousy mobile cam photos. Better photos will come. Tomorrow I'm taking a bath with the jacket (unrelated to the photo part, just saying ;D). Fingers crossed. I just took a shower with it this morning. The water was pretty cold, but it actually felt warm through the jacket. I got shocked when it hit me directly, when going over the collar, though.

I wore my newly distressed jacket to school today. It's a little cold for it, but it managed just fine. Also, yesterday I tried an aging method on my belts. One solid brass, one plated. I sanded them with some coarse grained sand paper, then put them in a solution of vinegar and salt for an hour, then baked them at 450 for 20 mins and then carefully sanded them with fine grained sand paper. I'm Not sure the bath did anything. At least the parts that still had some salt flakes on them when they went in the oven didn't get much color.

So, I wore my outfit for halloween, and it was just great! First time I've had it all on for more than just a few minutes. Oh, and my girlfriend went as Irina Spalko! Pic is coming!
There were a couple of film buffs there who commented on the authenticity. Very nice. One guy said that it all looked very authentic, except the pants... Apparently my custom Magnoli vintage brown cavalry twill, you know, the ones in the exact same fabric, color and cut as in the movie, didn't meet his high standards. ;D

How much more authentic can you GET than that? I guess there was something that didn't look accurate to him. I'm wearing my gear right now, waiting until 6:00 PM in Arizona (This was posted at 2:28 PM) to go trick-or-treating at my church, and until my sister is ready to do an Indy/American Girl photoshoot with me and her Molly in a white dress, recreating the "Marion Into The Pit" scene.

Hey Max, on page one of this thread you've got my whip listed as being made from snakeskin!! Pretty sure I've never used snakeskin for a whip - might want to change that to natural tan roohide.

Thanks for the backup, guys! I think he was convinced they were brown. I challenged him to go put on the dvd. ;D Oops, sorry Nick. It's been updated. I've also deleted the knock-offs I bought on eBay. I managed to sell them.
