Sewing it on today as per the video. Great job! The label is awesome!

Chamorro

Agreed. XL is really more like an XXL. I might buy a large even though it is 1 inch shorter.

Chamorro

Does anyone have actual measurements of the new Todd's jacket in a size large? Chest pit to pit and sleeve shoulder seam to cuff. I bought an XL. The length is fine but it's too large in the body for me.

Chamorro

How's the comfort and wearability? (As in SoCal in the summer?)

Chamorro

Thanks for the tip BTW, RC

Yeah, I'm a long

Chamorro

I'd rather have actual measurements of the jacket so that I can determine whether or not it fits my body. No one, no matter how good they are, can fit you, sight unseen, over the phone. Nobody knows what fits better on you ... than you. Just need real measurements to make a decision. Anybody? Bueller?

Chamorro

Yes but is it a good fit for a 44 long (which I am)? Anybody? Bueller?

Chamorro

Could someone post the measurements,in inches, of: *The sleeve length from shoulder seam to end of cuff *The chest, pit to pit, jacket zipped and laid flat *The shoulder from base of neck to shoulder seam On both the XL and XXL-A, please. I'm having a hard time with the "up to" measurement...

Chamorro

Do Todd's boots copy Alden's sizing as well? Do they run big like Aldens?

Chamorro

Okay. So it's a colloquialism. How quaint.

Chamorro

Hi. If you want a CS look, I would suggest buying another set of pants as the ones you've boughten don't have pleats in them (unless I saw the picture wrong), while CS do. I've found the following pants from LL Bean to be good "close enough" choices: Washable Year-Round Wool Trousers, Ple...

The Wested is an inferior quality jacket compared to the Expedition. Bottom line. So they made the jacket for the movies. Big freaking deal. If you want to wear @#$%, be my guest but they are not even in the same league. I want a real jacket, not a costume. Yeah, we DO have a close association to Da...

Chamorro

The answer is four posts up.

As to which one to get ... Flightsuits.

Why is this even a question?

Chamorro

I'm sure Dave will be happy to take up the slack too. I've just oredered a new goatskin jacket from Flightsuits. A russet A-2. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

Chamorro

It's dimensions are 8 1/2" X 11", at least on my Magnoli bag.

Bridges at Toko Ri G-1 from Flightsuits.

Pocket Bullwhip Social Club? Hey, wasn't "Compay Blaine" in that group?

I got mine resoled at James & Williams shoes in L.A. for $25.00. They are also an Alden dealer. Try to get a shop that knows the shoe.

Chamorro

As many Gearheads who visit SoCal have done before, Koreana Jones, Chamorro and myself voyaged down to San Diego this past Friday (8/15/03) to visit Dave Marshall and the fine folks @ Flightsuits. The difference is that all of us live in the LA area and none of us had been there before! Hmmm, maybe...

Chamorro

The overall construction, fit and quality is better. FS makes primarily military jackets and makes them to military specs. The stitching is better, the jacket is stronger, the leather is of a better quality. It drapes better and those accursed action pleats stay closed. Plus, I think that they are m...

Chamorro

Flightsuits Expedition gets my vote. Superior in every way.

Chamorro

The two I own eache took the full 12 weeks, maybe more. I'm currently waiting on another one and have lost count.

Some guys have all the luck.

Chamorro

I paid $275 on auction arms.com.

Chamorro

It's a good whip at a great price. Sure, it's not roo ... but it doesn't cost the same as roo either.

Chamorro

That all depends on how busy they are and what's in stock. I'd call them before you show up.

Chamorro

I have a Bulldog knife that's pretty close. They are also made in Germany. Perhaps the Sheffield theory will be debunked? Post some pics if you can.

He kept his hat on too.

In a dry climate, wouldn't the inside leathers dry out too?

Chamorro

Strain.

Chamorro

I'd wait for a look at the felt samples first before ordering. IF I was a "screen-accurate" freak that is. That's a big chunk of money to be laying down and possibly being disappointed later. Don't forget that "Indy Brown" is THEIR idea of what the color is and not necessarily wh...

Chamorro

I respectfully disagree. It's not a Camillus. Plus the knife needs to be longer. This is old ground we have covered here and at the old forum many, many times before. Look through the old posts.

The best field shirt I've owned in the past 20 years.

Forget the lamb. Go with goat or cowhide. An MC jacket is for protection. Choose the tough leathers. One thing I don't like about the Indy Jacket as an MC jacket is the barrel cuffs. It lets too much wind in. They will bellow up when you ride. A true motorcycle jacket has zippers on the cuffs so tha...

Or in the Southern Hemisphere.

Chamorro

Somebody has to do it. Maybe they'll be more reasonably priced ...

Chamorro

If you do get it worked on, expect to pay from $100 -$175 for it. It gets more expensive when they have to make a new sight. A good gunsmith will do the rebluing for free. At least mine did.

Chamorro

It was my understanding that the Brazilian contract M1917s were not as valuable as the U.S. Army models. That's the reason why I had no problem cutting mine down, adding a ramp, and rebluing it. My gunsmith balked at first but when he found out that it was a Brazilan gun he was okay with it.

Chamorro

Have you shot it yet? Where do you find .455 rounds?

Chamorro

It has the half-moon sight already. You should consider getting it done in the "other" version of the ROTLA gun. Cut down the sight a little, get it re-blued (but leave the tip un-blued silver), and change the grips to the plain wooden ones without the medallions. It would certainly be uni...

Chamorro

It's not as "slick." It's seems tougher and it seems to breathe better.

Chamorro

I'll be complete in less than a month. Keeping up with the Joneses yet again.

Chamorro

Ditto.

Chamorro

These guys sell a really nice repro holster that is dark brown. Not the dry, rock hard holster that IMA sells. It's soft out of the box and well constructed. http://www.wwmeinc.com/ Give 'em a call. I have also seen Lee's. Very nice too. His is a little better quality wise but the WWMEINC one is che...

Uh, Mr. Blaine, you forgot Casablanca?

Flightsuits can also custom make a jacket. Check out their website. Mine was.
