Hi all. Beautiful reproduction, Magnoli!

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere.

Is Indy’s briefcase in Raiders a version of the A-4 Navigators Bag?

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help determining if I should purchase a Webley frame kit. Anyone willing to help out can PM me. Thanks in advance!

Hi fellow Canadians! I’m trying to find a detailed replica of some Indy firearms. Our government is quite strict about importing said replicas. What have some of you done to acquire some replicas? I really only want this for display purposes and not cosplay. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone us...

Has anyone tried the Wolverine 1000 mile Moctoe?

Try out a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on a test spot. It worked for some of my other skins!

I have a 3-D printed hat block. It serves its purpose. It doesn’t like heat too much, though.

Takes training. Like heavier goatskin, wear it around the house, bend and stretch, lean over side to side, roll it up, but mainly wear it and get it warm …..train it to fit your body. Once it settles in, it fits like a glove and STAYS that way. Same physical weight as a goatskin or light cowhide….....

I know Diego posted photos of my jacket in a thread about his HH jackets in the past. Scroll down Page 4 of the Steele and Jones ‘38 thread and you can see me in a few photos wearing my jacket. http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=66609&start=150 https://i.imgur.com/AAOEbaV.jpg https://i.img...

Thanks for the reply, Michaelson. Have you posted any pictures on COW?

Hi there. I’m wondering if anyone could share some photos of a recent S&J Raiders in thin Horse Hide. I’d like to see some examples before purchasing.

Thanks!

This is very cool. I’m having trouble ordering the parts to make this in Canada. Would anyone know the least expensive printer that could reproduce this?

The Raiders Legacy leather is tough. I've done a little bit of distressing but it's mild and barely shows. Yes! I totally agree. It’s much more difficult than I thought it would be. My S&J LC? Distresses sooo easily. I’m so new to this, that I just thought it would be all the same. Was I ever w...

Hi folks, Just wanted to show off my new Last Crusade in beaver from Brian Lalonde at Screencaped. This is an amazing hat, really robust and perfectly proportioned to my face shape and head size. Brian was great to deal with throughout the process. Can’t recommend his services enough. Here is the LC...

Good to know about the sweatbands, thanks!

Funny you should mentions that. I just am trying to figure out shipping. They only have 95g beaver at the moment. Is that too flimsy?

Thanks for the reply. I did purchase the sable originally. I find it quite dark. I believe it’s close to the Deep Sable (perhaps). I’m looking for a capeline that is lighter like the HJ Sable. Maybe it’s just a computer screen issue.

Hi there,

I’m looking for feedback on a fur Capeline color. I’m looking for something similar to Herbert Johnson’s Sable. Is this capeline a similar color?

Hi there, I have a pair of Frye Arkansas. They are just “ok”. I found they broke down in the heel cup, and really loosened up all over. They are almost not wearable anymore. I don’t feel they were particularly durable. I own two pair of Alden Indy and one pair Redwing Iron Rangers. The Iron Rangers ...

I concur, less is more. When I distress my jackets, I go slow, ace tone does work, but I use a piece of cloth and lightly rubareas like elbows and end of the sleeves. Then out come Scott pads, 220 sandpaper for very light scuffing. Try to avoid these large scratches that some try. Let those come na...

I have tried acetone on a magnoli jacket and it seemed to not do much at all, actually. It's sort of more good for blending in spots that look to be too distressed, or scrapes where I don't want them. I still find the best option to be the rough side of a dish sponge, and putting it on, taking a qu...

MikeMac

I’ve been trying to distress my Wested Legacy Raiders. It’s actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. I’m looking to see how folks feel about acetone. I know it’s harsh, but this coat is quite tough. I also feel it’s far too shiny. So far here is my progress. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

Hi all, I’m looking for some opinions. I just received my Wested legacy and I’m surprised at how it fits. Not sure if I’m going to keep this or not.

I have a pair of Nicks moc toes and they really are built far more robustly than the Aldens.

Well if you're getting the D rings then you're already throwing screen accuracy out the window, so do the pocket flaps and collar matter that much? I like the scalloped pockets and pointier collar as well, but TBH the regular pocket flaps are fine. They used to be kind of cheesy way back when, kind...

If you're only ever going to trim one hat, this may not be worth the price, but they do make brim trimmers that are mostly sold to the western crowd. They make them in 1/8" and 1/2", that is they trim that much off. Look up the m&f brim trimmer, available on a variety of e-commerce si...
