Re: Close enough Raiders handgun

I got mine in a few weeks ago!! It is really cool. Haven't actually put the green gas in it yet but it's so fun reloading it and watching the cylinder turn counter clockwise just like the S&W. The thing that I don't like is when I took apart the grips to take off that piece behind the trigger, t...

Re: WPG Raiders Gun belt

It's my daily belt, it's good quality and pretty close to the actual belt. They only difference I can think of off the top of my head is that the metal belt keeper is spaced differently from the film. So overall, I'd recommend it as long as you don't want the whip holder screwed onto it like the fi...

WPG Raiders Gun belt

Hey everyone! I'm on the fence about getting a wpg raiders gun belt, and I'd like to see some of y'alls before I pull the trigger. It seems like a good value for the money but doesn't look as screen accurate as I would like, but I can't really tell because of the only 1 picture they have. Any info o...

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

So I went back and looked at your photos from when you first received it. Could be the perspective but it looks pretty accurate and untapered there: Screenshot_20221124-002548~2.png Seems like it's lost its shape since then rather than looking wrong from day one.

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

Hopefully from those horrible pictures I took you can kinda see what I'm talking about lol Pete C. Is the one who drew the outline of his Herbert Johnson over my hat as to how he thinks it should be shaped.

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

So.. it's been about 6 months with my S&J Raiders (Hovitos/Raven Bar) Fedora. What I can say about the hat so far is, it's very comfortable. It's warm, I even took it on a trip to Nebraska to visit some Army buddies of mine, and used it as a pillow on the plane lol. It's holding it's shape decen...

Thanks guys! :D do y'all have any tips on breaking it in a little? Also is the back of the brim supposed to be curled up or flat down like the front?

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

SO... everyone I have received my Steele and Jones fedora after 4 months of patiently waiting. Roberto is the nicest guy I've ever dealt with in the customer service game. He was constantly updating me on the hat, and giving me advice on what I should pick and he's a perfectionist when it comes to g...

FZ Merchandise Indy jacket

I'm going to post some pictures of my FZ merchandise leather jacket. It's a XXL, I'm 6'2 1/2, and around 220lbs. It fits almost perfect, but it is still a little tight under the arms and the sleeves are a little short. It also doesn't come cover as much as I'd like it too, (comes down about at my be...

Yep, 60cm on the tap fits a little loose but comfortable. Just going to have a little faith. :)

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

And Raider, I have researched the "jungle" hat only a little bit, but From what I've read and seen, the jungle hat and the hovitos Temple hat are not the same. The jungle hat is cleaner and has no cowboy curl, whereas the hovitos hat does. I believe it does have a little bit of a turn in i...

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

Sorry for the late reply y'all, but yes, it's a stetson cowboy hat my grandfather owned and it does have a sweatband. It's a 7 1/2 hatsize. My "jungle" fedora will have the turn so like y'all said, I shouldn't worry too much. My grandfather wore this hat a lot, but it's not broken in at al...

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

Sounds good y'all! \:D/ I'm talking to Roberto now about getting my sizes correct. I'm almost positive a 59.5 cm would be the most comfortable size, but the classic line exploradors only come in full sizes. So I'm left to pick between a 58cm (the tightest I can get the measure around my head), 59cm ...

Re: Steele and Jones vs Advintage

Thanks so much chosepoorly!

If we're all in agreement on the S&J then it's definitely my choice.

As soon as Roberto gets back to me I'm placing an order.

I'm pondering on the Fed IV now... so many choices!
I'm almost 100% positive I'd f up the bashing job on an open crown hat though. I do not trust myself at all on that haha.

Thank y'all for the input! I'm really leaning towards the Steele and Jones now. I'm not sure how often I'd be wearing it, but I usually always bring a hat with me when I go anywhere, so it will come with me quite often haha. The most I'm willing to spend rn is probably around $300 and that's at the ...

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to COW, but I'm loving it so far. I've become obsessed with the raiders fedora. I just got out of the military and as a celebration purchase I'm looking to buy my first Indy hat! I've narrowed my options down to the Steele and Jones raiders 36, and the Advintage Harrison f...
