The Shirt

The Indy-shirt was custommade for the movies, and are therefore hard to find. Noel Howard at M.B.A. offers a replica of the shirt (as well as a lots of other Indy-stuff), but are due to close down business September 2003. If anyone else is to take over is yet unclear.

Again I turned to L.L. Bean  who offers a "Cotton Poplin Long-Sleeve Field Shirt", (colour Tan) that is very close to the original. And futhermore - the quality is very high! But this shirt do not have these "Indy-pleats" either.

As You can see, it worked out quite well:
