Re: New to Magnoli Adventure Jackets

I haven’t owned any leather jackets from them, but I did see one of my friend’s a few days ago and it looked pretty solid. His was a raiders in cow. I’m not sure if I’ve seen one of their jackets with a Ribby lamb like was used in the film though.

I’d recommend looking into other cobblers to resole your current pair. If you really want new ones I’d recommend hunting eBay for a bit to find one in your size for about half the price of a new one.

Re: Movie Theater Carry

Neither are good whips when it comes to cracking, aesthetically Magnoli is better, but if you want a whip that looks nice and cracks decently, I’d go with Todd’s Costumes. It won’t hold up as well as a custom made kangaroo whip, but out of the cheaper whip options I’ve seen it holds up the best.

I personally went with true sable. Sure it’s dark at first, but when the sun starts making the color fade, it’s gonna fade into the perfect color, while I feel like the other colors start off looking right, then progressively get lighter than you’d want.

The recent batch of Todd whips I’ve seen are pretty accurate, not sure if you got something different, but the Raiders looks thinner than most think. As for the weight, yeah, Todd whips are lighter than most high quality whips, so you’ll have to put a bit more power into them.
