And he's using a pic of one of Thranduil's beautiful Mithril shirts to advertise his version. NOT appropriate.

Oh really?! Didn't realize. Thanks for pointing that out. That's certainly not appropriate.

Did they collaborate together on a previous run? I'm really hoping he didn't just rip a picture of one of Thranduil's.

That's the actual movie prop show in an exhibition and not Thranduil's replica.

I'd still be rather skeptical on how well Indy can pull this off. Especially for the price point he's going for. Appropriate sized ring mesh alone cost this much.

Okay, I figured. I've never heard of Indy ripping off any other makers.

As for the shirt, I'm not sure how well Indy can pull it off either. We shall see.

Given the unfortunate fate of his Guthwine and scabbard project, I'd steer clear of this as well. Luckily, I have the first of Thranduil's originals so I've no need for this.

My bad. I thought that was a photo of a collector's display. Thanks for correcting my error.

Like Valkrist, I'm skeptical about this npotential new project by Indy.

N2 is right.... here are some links to SS mesh suppliers. Prices are retail.
Indy will get better prices but still won't be cheap.
So, like Guthwine*** he will have to cut corners somewhere to meet his price point.

(this says "curtain" but all that means is that it is like "cloth", Like you would buy cloth at JoAnn's, off of a roll and by the yard

I bought some mesh from the Ring Lord more than 10 years ago.
Don't know if the owners are the same (was 2 guys, Canadian I think) but they were super great to work with.

***Gave mine away, btw to a young man for his graduation... he was ecstatic, and will never notice the flaws
