What brand did you use?

If you were to dye this shirt Khaki, which off-the-shelf RIT dye would you use?:
* Tan
* Taupe
* Sand Stone

Fits pretty snug on me. Must be the length. :shrugs:

Medium. (I'm a Large, normally) Disney sizes. :shrug:

So I ended up buying the shirt, and someone here wanted to see it next to a white and khaki shirt, well here it is under florescent light: https://i.imgur.com/fy3n94X.jpg On the left is a white dress shirt, and on the right is an unofficial Indy shirt from Amazon. And for good measure, here is the s...

So Disney is selling a version of Indy's safari shirt: https://www.shopdisney.com/indiana-jones-shirt-for-adults-2840040739026M.html https://cdn-ssl.s7.disneystore.com/is/image/DisneyShopping/2840040739026?fmt=webp&qlt=70&wid=652&hei=652 Seems pretty close, thought the color's all wrong....

Does anyone know if Streets of Cairo is available in Deep Sable Beaver?

I just wanted a Adventurebilt Legacy Collection The Raider, but I guess I'll just have to settle for a Herbert Johnson Raiders Sable Beaver Turn Poet instead.

Well, this stinks. On top of the issues with suppliers and the virus, this happens. Great! I got a refund this morning and they didn't even tell me why. No letter, no note, no nothing. I ask why and they tell me he's sick. Did he catch the virus? If Penman croaks it's the end of Penman Hats and the ...

I'm not telling you.

The only way to assure your whip won’t slip in the real world is to use a double wrap. Or you can do what they did in the movies and secure the whip with fishing line.

Well, I'm not doing either, so....

Indiana Jeff wrote:The best holders I know of double wrap around the whip. Totally eliminated the whip slipping.

Well, what if I don't want a double wrap?

Me too.... and I feel like I got ripped off.

So I own a 10ft, off-brand Bullwhip. I bought it in 2019 at a Renaissance Fair from an arms dealer. Since I've bought it, I've been searching for a good whip holder for it. I have bought several and they all have the same problem: https://i.imgur.com/LmrPoVqm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TJqDKEom.jpg htt...

Well, both today and last Sunday I've been working on cleaning my hat. I have bought distilled water, a hat brush, hat sponges, Brickmore foaming dark cleaner, fine grit sandpaper, and microfiber towels. After some elbow grease, a little patience, & some hours cleaning, steaming, brushing, and s...

Would you say my hat is dark or light?

I'm not re-creasing it any more, Jack! I stopped a long time ago.

Use a hat brush and a lint roller to pull up the dirt. A little distilled water and a soft brush *might* do a little something for the oil, or at least diffuse it so it's not so noticeable, but really the only thing to take it out is a professional cleaning. Great, do you know a person/place who ca...

Unless you're aiming for a dirty/distressed look, you should periodically brush your hat to lessen the amount of dirt particles present. A dirty hat will break down quicker. If you are having trouble "setting" the crease, a quick shot of hat stiffener (or even scotch guard) can help. How ...

Why have you had to keep re-creasing it if you don't mind me asking? I've had a few hats with the tight raiders pinch and I've had them wear down just from constantly taking it off and on from the pinch (bad form I know but they were beater akubra hats) but never had to re-crease it constantly to t...

Forget it pal, I ain't getting a new nothin'.

Forrest For the Trees wrote:Once you have creased your hat to the shape you want it, you really shouldn't handle the crown much. Dirt and oil from your hands, as well as continued creasing will weaken and damage the felt.

Well, it was the seller who originally creased it for me, all I did was try to keep it that shape.

Over the years I have begun to notice some dark lines along the "nose" and top pinch of my Poet. This is more than likely due to me constantly creasing it to keep it in Raiders shape. I was just wondering if this might cause some structural and stability issues down the road? I was also wo...

It could be Fedora #279, but I'm not too sure about the crown height or the pinch. Cheyenne Pinch #232 seems like another likely candidate, but wrong color.

Does anyone dare e-mail O'Farrell and ask them?

If you search for vintage decorator's brushes or vintage dust brushes, you can sometimes get a good starting point.

Woah! Where did you find that one?

Does anyone know what type of brush Indy uses in the Tanis Map Room? https://i.imgur.com/6Z6Fc4V.png Using my Archaeological skills, I have been able to disseminate this much :-k : [*] It is most likely an antique. [*] It was probably purchased in the UK. [*] It is in a "half-moon" shape. ...
