What have you acquired recently, and what piece, article of clothing and/or prop is your favorite?
After collecting the gear and artifacts for awhile, you sort of whittle it down to the things that you really like to own and others not so much.
It's difficult to say which is my fav. piece of gear, but lately, I really like the old stock shrunken lamb SL of Wested's. It was something of a unique situation. I wrote Wested and asked if they ever receive any new leather that resembles the material that Peter used to make the Raiders jackets, then let me know; veg tanned in the rough, pegged out to dry, etc. About 4-5 weeks later, someone at the barn replied, and stated they had a bundle of old stock, veg tanned SL in stock that was darker in color and would I be interested? I dunno...let me think about this.... ......SURE! Wanting it to be the last one I owned, I was picky with the details. It turned out to be an outstanding jacket.
Prop wise, I'm a big fan of the Headpeice, and really have enjoyed reading about the history behind it. It is based on some ancient Egyptian earrings found in Tut's tomb, I believe.
Others would be the props used in Raiders, like the knife and notebook, etc. There is a lot of cool stuff in these movies.
