I love the color on that !! How soft is it ?

Nice hat indeed. Since Optimo no longer carries my color, I am thinking of going this route !

Got Maul

I got mine about 3-4 years ago when they had Indy Brown in. It cost me $399 at the time. Its soft and holds firm just like the true Indy hat...its the best hat I have ever owned and can never think of getting anything else outside of it.

Got Maul

So I called them on Friday and alas, they no longer carry Indy Brown. What Tiffany did tell me was that they are coming out with a very close brown soon. They are just getting it in. I wonder which color this is...I didn't get a chance to speak to Graham nor did I get to ask what their prices are no...

Got Maul

ah yes, the king is here.

Got Maul

Its all good. I think that's alex from a fellow Spartan board - probably so !

Got Maul

Yup, I have the good ol' Indy Brown ...is the Tabacco Brown more accurate or something ?

Got Maul

My first Indy hat was Optimo (thanks to Jason) and I fell in love with it. The only issue I ever had with it was that I stupidly got my head measured before a much needed haircut. As a result my fedora was always a little loose for me and it ALWAYS bothered me. Has anyone ordered from them recently ...

Got Maul

The color is nice and rich in those- nice !

Got Maul

Very nice indeed. Glad to see Wested doing it right...without too much nagging.

Got Maul

sorry michaelson - but its the simple truth and probably the one measurement that messes up the most costumes ! I used to work closely with a costumer and did a lot of business for him being a second hand dealer, and a lot of our clientele didn't get the fact that the waist measurement was actually ...

Got Maul

its happened ONCE here in chicago, it was unmistakeable (because of the sliders ) but never caught up with him..

I think it happened to Agent5 too ..not sure.

Got Maul

I will tell you what though, when YOU spot ANOTHER wested (like Radar) its like finding a lost brother in the woods !

Got Maul

just because THIS shot shows you no gusset doesn't mean they weren't there. There is a lot of proof of gussets elsewhere, just ask Agent5- Also, in terms of the action pleat being open, keep in mind guys, that the action pleat behaved differently back then because 1. The lamb hide was A LOT stiffer ...

Got Maul

color me as interested ! Aching to learn some new things to do with my whip !

Got Maul

My eyes...my imagination !

quick avert your eyes to this :

Got Maul

its the custom fit ! I've never had a jacket wear so well !

Got Maul

Scan. Jones - NICE ! The weathering on that is PHENOMINAL !

Templar - cosmetic is ALL I am looking for so that would be no problem at all. Lemme get back to you about getting one , I just want to hold out until after christmas expenses.

Got Maul

is there anyway to get a butt sewn into the cheaper leather ? Iwould like one of those. but just don't like the open butt look. I have seen this leather as well and wanted to use it for my holster. In my opinion the predyed stuff (the dying they actually do at the tanneries) is the ONLY way to go wi...

Got Maul

sorry for the big pic, but at least for now its necessary to illustrate what I was gabbering about : http://www.gotmaulkreations.com/html/indyholster.jpg Basically pics 1-4 illustrate not only color but also how soft the leather is. Notice (when seen in the movie) how easily the leather moves aside ...

Got Maul

Not to seem rude or stuck up or anything, but come on kids, and I call everyone kids, don't take offense, just got out and dig in the dirt for an hour, shovel something, move some rocks around, do #### garden work. lol ! this is what I did ! You should have seen when I got my first set of gloves......

Got Maul

nice holster ! really nice ! The color of the budget holster is BEAUTIFUL ! I agree with Jason on this...the leather we discovered, was a lot softer than the representations we see today. In the picture that Jason is referring to, you actually see the outline of the gun as the flap was forced down o...

Got Maul

I guess I was slouching in that first pic. :oops: Probably because I didn't have my Aldens on!:wink: Thanks for the compliments Got Maul. I love this jacket! I'm glad you commented because when I first started researching for this jacket I read your post on your last Wested and it was an immense he...

Got Maul

also take into consideration, you are hiking your pants up to your naval...bring those puppies down ! lol. - so they jacket in that one frontal pic would look longer.

anyhow, I think the length is nice and Raiders for me !

Got Maul

I think the jacket length is PERFECT for raiders. If you notice in most shots, the belt line comes up to the MIDDLE of the jacket pocket of which it does here. PEter did a fantastic job on yours ! Congrats on getting it !

Got Maul

hehehehehe....you said thong.

awesome, thank you for that explanation to rudimentary question !

Got Maul

okay hmmm...dead eternal guy says grail stays, second grail leaves place falls apart more people die, prettiest girl of the whole lot dead as well...

leaving the grail and not becoming one of those as before mentioned dead guys...priceless !

Got Maul

heck, for the price I am thinking about cutting one up and riveting it together...after all the joining point will be hidden behind the strapping (after the loop around the O ring)

Got Maul

GREAT advice ! thank you ! Actually, I just discovered the garage thing...I found that my under apartment parking structure has A LOT of room for practice and just went at it this morning ! In that you also answered a question I had arising in my head ...there's a lot of garage oil/grease buidling u...

Got Maul

1. I've been practicing in a back alley here and while I think my ability to crack is getting better, I think I think the contact on the whip is scraping up the leather....should I NOT being doing this in the street ? 2. How do I prevent scratches...I mean if this falls under daily wear and tear, th...

Got Maul

okay, picked up two more MEDIUMS today. Guys. get these now, they are getting really scarce !!!

Got Maul

I can't believe it ! I have been to five walmarts since this last run and we're talking about some of the most REMOTE places and found NOTHING ! Seems like walmart is cleaning up their act in the state of IL about changing things over. So if I were anyone without gloves, I would snatch these up ASAP!

Got Maul

heheh, I hope you saw through my sarcasm

Got Maul

hey smart guy, start your own thread !

Got Maul

wow ! You got someone to cooperate fully ! Good work man, couldn't have done it better myself ! You can also tell her that in being in a different Illinois Wal Mart everyday, they have done a good job of completely revamping and updating their WLamont displays. That's good news for WL, but bad news ...

Got Maul

*** NO PAY, NO INTEREST = Returning them this week - I can't hold onto these things forver and god knows, they are so dang scarce now. It'd be a crying shame to go return these without getting them into gear hands. *** Alright gloves time !! If you've been following the Wells Lamont thread , I menti...

Got Maul

Alright gloves time !! here we go, I ran into two walmarts today and bought out all their 1130's...I have four pairs up for grabs, this is without the reinforced palm, with the updated glove seams as discussed above...not the old (correct) way though. Anyhow, we can't be choosers now a days anyway, ...

Got Maul

ha ha ! TOLD YAH ! Yeah baby ! we should pay a visit...maybe they know something about the whole indiana jones bit ! Make it look like we are doing a documentary or something.

Got Maul

btw- I just made archaelogist wtih that post...I RULE ! Gone are the day of being a lab tech ! ( I actually was a lab tech for two years

in Gene Therapy)

Got Maul

I would say that the only thing holding me back on this theory of the sling is the legnth...I am looking at some of these and NONE of them seem like 72 inches...we'll just have to and see. I have a G3 strap coming to me soon.

Got Maul

that's the thing...WL seemed to change design literally on the fly for no real rhyme or reason, kinda stunk that way. I remember seeing even color variations next to the same model on the same rack - go figure.

Got Maul

oh wow ! great find ! Defintely more research is needed...square buckle, ridges along the edge...slim leather...defintely sounds to darn concidental to be not !

Got Maul

1130's huh ? Yah, all I have been seeing are worthless 1123's...I'll keep looking ... lol. Gotcha. Firstly I want to say that Jason is sick when it comes to Raiders knowledge. I know no other match to his off hand knowledge of this stuff. With that said, in defense of Mikey, he is right. In defense ...

Got Maul

that's really eerie...don't know why, it just is.

Got Maul

congrats man ! its is a very gratifying feeling to get those WESTED items in !

Got Maul

1. Yoke- 1.25" shorter thereby bringing the bottom of the yoke seam up, towards the shoulders; arm seam should be 1.25" BELOW the yoke lower seam 2. Collar- The collar that meets the storm flap should extend out 3/4" past the storm flap seam (e.g.If the storm flap is 1.5", then t...

Got Maul

hey guys, so sorry I didn't see this post pop up ! I will get that information to you ASAP !

gm

Got Maul

very very very nice ! what a beautiful RICH color man ! Very nice indeed. Another winner for joe !

Got Maul

I think they still look phenominal

I thought the first set was actually too light

Got Maul

beautiful pic ! I would think that MBA is right in the middle of those two colors. Darker than the first Wested and still lighter than the darker wested.

Overall, I would prefer it darker if I had the choice ! Nice pair of pants !

Got Maul

can we get a comparison of these pants to an MBA set ??
