Re: Sable vs Deep

From what it said on the website the deep sable also has a more accurate floppiness and texture to the original felt. Anyone have insight on this, first hand experience? I have a Deep Sable Rabbit Felt HJ Poet and it is indeed very floppy. The texture might be slightly rougher than it appears on th...

Re: Wested Legacy ToD Jacket

I've really grown to love the ToD jacket. I've had Raiders and Crusade jackets before, but resisted the Temple because nobody could ever get the pattern correct. When I saw the first pics from Wested in January 2021, I pulled the trigger immediately. I think I achieved a decent result after several...

Re: Indy gear from Karolian Dry Goods

Are you going to be putting up the new Berlin Adventure Shirt for sale on your website, or will it be Etsy only?

Re: Indy gear from Karolian Dry Goods

They truly look so perfect. I always wanted to have cotton Indy pants, but they were hard to find and Magnoli's ones were always above my budget. When do you expect to have all sizes at your place and start shipping them out? I am going to submit the order (sizes and quantities) today with a few ot...

Re: Indy gear from Karolian Dry Goods

Hey gang, Glad the shirts are starting to roll in! Up top, I need to apologize if you purchased a shirt on Etsy. I accidentally uploaded the original sample photos to the listing - prior to removing the last button on the front placket to make it a bit more accurate to Raiders. This is totally on m...

Re: Indy gear from Karolian Dry Goods

I received my Cairo shirt as well, overall I really like it. I got it in XS. I'm thin, 5'10 160lb so my issues may be unique to my build. The cuffs are too small, I can't fit my hands through when buttoned. Not really a huge issue on this shirt as it's meant to be worn with rolled cuffs. I found the...

Re: A Very Different ToD (S&J ‘35)

Beautiful jacket! The color looks great, I assume those pics are with indoor lighting? Does the color change at all in sunlight? The ToD jacket is may favorite fit of all the jackets.

Two questions up front:

- Does your chest measure 36 with a measuring tape?

- How tall are you?
My chest is 36.25", so pretty close. I'm 5' 10".

Re: Wested Legacy ToD Jacket

Sorry to piggy back onto Beswick’s TOD legacy thread but I wanted to chime in and say that I just received my TOD Legacy Size 46 and I’m really pleased with it. I owned a Wested Raiders about 20 years ago and this one beats it by miles. Seems sturdier and leather is awesome. Needs breaking in to ge...

Re: Distressing a Legacy Raiders

My Legacy ToD jacket has the exact same leather. I just used a green Scotch pad and lots of circular motions. I've weathered it in about 6 stages, the last time using a little bit of rubbing alcohol first. Ive found with the Scotch pads, it looks like nothing is happening at first but it does slowly...

Re: Wested Legacy ToD Jacket

It’s interesting I can always recognize a ToD jacket but have no clue why or what makes it different. Smaller pockets, lower placed back panel and flared collar are the most eye-catching features. I did have to soak and reshape the collar to get the flair look like the movie. From Wested, the colla...
