Yes, but Bond had the Islay 😂

C'mon! Indy's got nothing even close to what Bond's got at his disposal in terms of gadgets and weaponry.
Wearing only a fedora, armed with a revolver, and carrying a whip he was able to make it to the lost ark and through the Temple of Doom. That's only knowing basic boxing and being a History professor.
Indy FTW.

Having a glass of wine with the wife this afternoon, wearing my good old Conistons. I love the fit of the 325 last.

Plus, he shot that dude who had the sabre.

He's got guile and smarts. No point in engaging a swordsman 1 v 1 when you have a pistol. It's not Indy's fault the guy brought a big knife to a gun fight.

Absolutely.

Admittedly, Bond is also a smart guy himself.

Both men get equivalent amounts of girls, but then again, Indy seems to hit on all his students which, while acceptable back in the 40s, is now frowned upon.

Bond is well trained. Probably knows, at least, 10 languages so he's been exposed to more. I think I'd give the smarts to Indy since he does more with less

In terms of young ladies, IIRC didn't Indy dismiss their advances?

In any case, Bond has to get the nod in attracting the ladies. Then again, he's got a SF level wardrobe. Indy looks like he predominately shops at Eddie Bauer when he's on missions.

His girl in Raiders he first slept with when she was 15. So, he definitely is fishing in the shallow end of the pool, but it was a different world back in the 40s.

Bond, meanwhile, is more the "I'll go ******** with your wife after I kill you" which has its own moral problems.

Carmina's a good option at this price point if they fit you well. Did you try last 348 or 373? Those are a bit narrower for me. Otherwise the higher end makers do offer different widths (Gaziano Girling, Edward Green, Yohei Fukuda etc.)

Thanks for the advice!

Good grief 15yrs old. Indy come on man!

Lucas wanted it 12. Spielberg said 15.

Lucas had strange ideas of what is and isn't kosher.

What the heck! It's bad enough the King was fooling around w/Priscilla at 14yrs and he was 24 or 25. Say it ain't so Indy! Say it ain't so! 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Bond is well educated, but Indy is a professor at The University of Chicago. Indy wins that one.

"It’s a look that fully proves George Lucas’ original boast to Steven Spielberg when pitching the idea of Indiana Jones to him (actually, at that point he was Indiana Smith): that Indy is a better character than even James Bond. "

I'd like to think he's step above with MIUSA Filson gear/bags
