I got an email notification that I had a private message on here about a size change.

Unfortunately the message isn't in my inbox

Can the person who messaged me email me instead?

I'll need your order number!

Thanks

That was me

Hey

I'm looking at Some pants and I wonder what to do if you are between sizes? I'm 40.55 inches in pants size so I'M not sure to go with 40 or go up to 42

Bit off topic maybe but I bought a 8 foot tanned whip from this person :D https://www.etsy.com/no-en/listing/967390512/bullwhip-vegetable-tanned-goat-leather?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=indiana+jones+wallet&ref=sc_gallery-1-1&pro...

I've heard conflicting accounts on whether lanolin is just fine or disastrous for whips. I can't say for sure myself because I've only ever used Pecard's... I got a tin of it for about 15 USD from Amazon, but maybe the prices are a lot more in the EU :-k I wouldn't know, I've only ever visited Euro...

Manwiththehat

Ok, I understand the lighter comment now. That is only meant for a paracord fall, not for leather. Also for a leather fall, where you do not have that end-stop, you might want to leave a longer "nub" if you are going to use that method. And if you choose another method to attach the crack...

Hi. I got my Todd's Costume 10 foot whip today which is my very first whip and I tried it a few times and the cracker fell of very easily so I'm fonder is that a common thing? I attached my self and lighted the end of the fall with my lighter and it seem to help it from falling of but I'm not sure i...

I gave it another go but It's really hard to get the roundness I want on the top of the sides https://i.imgur.com/TsW4yKy.jpeg Manwiththehat, do you happen to have an open-crowned hat block?

The problem now it seems is that the pinch has been hard imprinted to the fur felt or something. I have tried So many times now to lower the pinch but it keeps going back to default height ( 5,5") when I'm trying to lower it to 4". It's like it is impossible to remove previous work on it.

Manwiththehat

Here's my advice. I don't know how well versed you already are in hat shaping, so maybe you already know the majority of this information. In that case, if this information seems a bit rudimentary, my apologies. First off, this is a very nice start! I can already see the inner ToD in that starting ...

Hey. My sister switched the hat band of my indy Miller's hats and I tried reshaping it from raiders to a more temple of doom style but the lower crown I find it very difficult to get a good results so I though I post some pictures and get some feedback from the more into reshaping here :) Thanks in ...

These pants are based off the ones worn by Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient. As for color, the most accurate is the cavalry twill wool in vintage brown.

Thanks Sir for the repply

Manwiththehat

Hi.I'm looking at the Magnoli adventures and expedition pants and I wonder what the difference are and also if the adventure pants have the right color for raider pants or not

Thanks in advance

Manwiththehat

My husband who posts as Chewbacca Jones on here has a pair and as I remember, the only thing he wasn't happy about the placement of the back pockets which are too far apart and you can see this in some of the photos from the site. https://www.whatpriceglory.com/products/c176-indiana-jones-gear/ Of ...

Hi. I'M looking at what price glory indy pants and I'm wonder which ones that looks the best.Not sure if I want them or Wested.Magnolis are great but to expensive for a pair of pants for me.

That sounds awesome

Do you have a place I can see how they look like? I'M still very new here so don't know much how things works yet

Manwiththehat

There is a nylon whip in the Bazaar right now. What’s your price range? As an aside, if you've never had a whip before I would strongly recommend getting either a 6 foot or 8 foot length. Many people will get a 10 foot and whereas there were 10' whips used in ROLA and it looks great coiled on the b...

Manwiththehat

Another consideration is go opt for a paracord whip. We have several members here who make them (check out the Vendors section on the main IndyGear site). While not screen accurate, paracord whips are generally much less expensive than the same length leather whip and 99% of the population won't kn...

Manwiththehat

Neither are good whips when it comes to cracking, aesthetically Magnoli is better, but if you want a whip that looks nice and cracks decently, I’d go with Todd’s Costumes. It won’t hold up as well as a custom made kangaroo whip, but out of the cheaper whip options I’ve seen it holds up the best. Sa...

Manwiththehat

Magnoli's version is the way to go, even the non-deluxe version, since they are made quite well, in veg-tan leather if I remember correctly. It is also made to look the part. The Wested version (according to the pics on the site) is quite poorly plaited, has poorly cut strands, and the taper is not...

Manwiththehat

I'M not very comfortable calling the police so I think I call the Norwegian customs/The customs office instead since they are handling the toll on all things that comes to Norway I think they would know the rules :) I really want a whip.Not sure Which one to get of Magnoli props deluxe or Wested whi...

Manwiththehat

Looks pretty good. Have you had it in regular rotation those 20 yrs?

I do like that James Dean jacket. What is the other jacket you are wearing in the Advintage thread. It looks like it has corduroy on the collar and has the knits.

Manwiththehat

I'm not sure if whips are legal in Norway since so many "weapons" are not here sadly cause I wouldn't mind having one for my indy gear.

Man with at, question. Where do you live. States, Europe? At the very bottom of Wested site, you can pick your choice of monetary means and I think it changes the sizing # as well.
