Those sleeve wrinkles are perfect! Great jacket.

Thank you for the kind words! The drape of the trousers comes entirely from having pants way too large. I’ve lost a good 30 pounds since I got those pants in 2021. I had to really bunch them together and hope the web belt would stay!

How is the Portuguese Beaver holding up? I have the exact same Crusader in Portuguese Beaver on order and can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks. :D Very randomly I have also been considering the Crusade in the Portuguese Beaver so an update would be helpful. Thanks for asking! I figure pictures ...

Great detailed review! And a great looking hat. Michelle knocked it out of the park.

tubasthebest

Great picture! I’m loving the color of the leather on this one.

tubasthebest

Very creative method! Thanks for the detailed post on your process. I found it fascinating.

tubasthebest

I was not. Just the initial charge when the order was placed.

I am extremely happy to report the end of this saga! The 1936 8ft bullwhip is finally in my possession having been delivered today. This was the last bit of gear I needed to complete my collection. Paul originally quoted my 4-6 weeks when I placed my order, just 76 weeks and 5 days later it arrived!...

tubasthebest

Yeah that 40th shirt was surprisingly short. I don’t get to wear it much.

tubasthebest

Wow, just watched your video. You did an excellent job on the filming, editing, and showcasing the hat and package. It’s the perfect unboxing video that covers everything in a concise way. Thanks for making it and sharing. I told myself I didn’t need another hat, but now I’m more curious than ever t...

tubasthebest

Wow that hat looks perfect! Congrats IJJTM! Would love to see more pics as well.

tubasthebest

Figured I’d add a picture of the deep sable rabbit felt for reference as well.

tubasthebest

I can see the image, though it is a bit small. But regardless, I can make out the hat just fine, and I think it looks fantastic. Glad to hear you had a good experience working with Michelle! Sorry to hear about your old HJ biting the dust.

tubasthebest

Are you getting any updates on your order at least? The consignment section of the website has been updated so somebody is still running the business. Yes, I have been getting updates when I email every few months. He has been much quicker at responding lately. I just got the latest email this morn...

tubasthebest

Coming up on a year and 2 months since I paid for my whip order. Still no whip, still patiently waiting. Just updating this thread for those considering ordering.

tubasthebest

Exciting! Can’t wait to hear about it.

tubasthebest

The sizing on mine was spot on. I did not feel like it was oversized, it is snug but not too tight.

tubasthebest

Looks great! Learning to tie a bow tie is not as easy as I assumed it would be.

tubasthebest

Great work! You have made a beautiful hat. Thanks for sharing the process as you went along, it was fun to follow.

tubasthebest

I finally got around to getting a few photos with my latest hat. When IJJTM posted about the hats John was selling off I reached out and picked up the Raiders Beaver 22 1/2. I'm wishing John well, and I hope we get more updates on his status eventually. But with his status unknown, I couldn't pass u...

tubasthebest

That hat looks great! Really captures the “look.”

tubasthebest

Great photo, the jacket looks like a good fit! What leather did you go with?

tubasthebest

Welcome to the forum! What hat model and shape did you order from S&J? They are great to work with. Hope to see some photos of all these S&J fedoras soon!

tubasthebest

I agree such a fascinating color! It’s a great looking hat! I’m pretty sure this is the first of its kind from HJ to be posted to the forum.

tubasthebest

The listings are live on the updated AdVintage website: CS Hero Fedora

tubasthebest

I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

tubasthebest

Not exactly an ETA, but he said he was starting on a big batch of 1936 whips in the next week (this was on Nov 2, so presumably last week) and that my whip would be included in that batch. Although he said a similar thing in May, so I'm not sure.

tubasthebest

Really exciting news. I can’t believe I’m going to buy another brown fedora…. But how could I pass this up?

tubasthebest

Glad you found a winner! That hat suites you well!

tubasthebest

thecoolmiester, I'm glad to hear that you finally got your 40th anniversary order! I think you did a fantastic job at redoing the bash and the end result looks great! :TOH: I agree that the thin rabbit fur felt used is really great quality. I can also echo that the pinch is starched a heavy amount o...

tubasthebest

I have now received communication from Paul. Thank you all for your help!

tubasthebest

That looks really great, I think you chose well. From the photos it looks like it sits right where it should on your head. That sweatband with the stones is a very nice touch, I love it.

tubasthebest

Here's to hoping!! A Deluxe is a holy grail item for me!

tubasthebest

Incredible jacket! The fit looks perfect. Hats off to S&J for another incredible jacket.

tubasthebest

No, the Last Crusade Legacy jacket was released much later as they were still sourcing the leather. The Legacy Raiders is different.

tubasthebest

Thanks for inquiring more about John's status. It is not fun to hear he is going through a rough time. I wish him well. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get another hat of Penman quality, and not have to wait the 7 months to a year to get it, so I also jumped on this. The Raiders beaver 22 1/2 ...

tubasthebest

Fantastic review! I really appreciate how in depth you got. I think this is really helpful to those who are interested in these boots!

tubasthebest

Thank you so much for the information! That is all I wanted to know. I'm not upset at all about the delays, just wish the communication was a bit better. I'm glad to hear that he is still out there, and hope to hear more about my order eventually.

Thanks IJJTM, I appreciate your help!

tubasthebest

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot.

tubasthebest

Sent another email today. Still haven't gotten a response since the May update.

tubasthebest

Looks great! Congrats on the new hat!

tubasthebest

Still no response...

Woah! Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea, as I'm not on any of the usual social media sites.

tubasthebest

That’s the video tubasthebest posted for us here on the forum when he received his hat. Thank you for responding to this. I thought it was funny to see my video posted again half a page after I posted it. Is this the 40th. If it is, it’s to dark. And I hate these kinda of videos where they don’t pu...

This piqued my interest so I did some searching. It looks like it is Stefan's last name, Marc’s old assistant. I found this page and was able to use my browser to translate it to English. https://www.jones-jr.com/cost_marc_kitter.html

tubasthebest

Thanks everyone for the kind words! :TOH: Sweet, how would you say it compares to your Penman? I'm still gathering my thoughts on this, but I have some initial impressions. And a disclaimer, I am not an expert on anything, these are all my very subjective opinions. Firstly this is a very apples to o...

Hey, I made an unboxing video for the 40th anniversary package with the SoC hat. I figured there was a good amount of interest in the whole package, so why not. I'm not great at making videos, and it is a little long. So, feel free to jump around in the video to see what you are interested in. I pla...

tubasthebest

Mine was just delivered! Photos to be posted by the end of today!

tubasthebest

Well, I'm getting a bit more concerned now. I still have not heard from him regarding my order. Before I placed my order I asked for current lead times, and was quoted 4-6 weeks, which I was surprised by but happy about. So I placed my order that day on Feb 2. I sent an email to follow up on May 6, ...
