Ya, very impressive.
For your first attempt I’d say you done good.
And the picture of you and the Indiana Jones experience Indy.
I like your hat better, looks more lived in rather pressed on a machine.

Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see your next.

Thanks for the response.
Might return it and order it in.

So Indiana Jeff, here’s another question regarding Naphtha.

I just picked up what’s called high flash Naphtha, based on a quick search on line ther different but seem similar.
So is there, is it safe to use on the beaver/ rabbit.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Thank you sir.
It’s what I thought, my rabbit isn’t in bad shape, no spots.
Just wanted to give a rub down.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Seeing as it worked well for me on Beaver felt, I was wondering if anyone ever tried it on Rabbit.
Never saw posts saying you can't, but not sure that when you send a rabbet in for cleaning, is it used.

Croft

Indiana Croft

First off I apologize for not taking a before and after picture. :CR: But I looked for an older picture I'd taken, and you can see the spot on the right side as your looking at it in the picture. https://i.imgur.com/a1sWrqRl.jpg But my process was using Naphtha. 1st I used a swab to soak the spot, n...

So I went to the Hattery web site just browsing, and if I punch in my size and Dark Brown in the Fed IV deluxe Expedition, it kinda looks like they have my size. Put below in red : DARK BROWN, HERITAGE FAWN & GRAPHITE RESTOCKED SOON! So is this just a pre-order set up? Or did hey get some stock ...

Indiana Croft

Fingers crossed for a late white stuff.

Indiana Croft

Thank you Canyon. Working on it. Regarding color of the scarf you see on the ol television, yes you’ll never get an exact match, but for me the darker taupe looks better and this is what I see. MotB is all about the cardigan to me, the scarf is just another layer to the gear he’s wearing. Like the c...

Indiana Croft

I did it with my pair of IM professors glass and worked great, you’ll be pleased.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Thanks guys, now to wear the shirt and tie to work, not something normally done in a lumber store. But I did once for DoD opening weekend, so It'll get some looks and comments, but know one but a gear head would recognize the set up. Holt, I'm curious on your thoughts to the scarf, not a home run, b...

Indiana Croft

Well while it's not chunky, it does feel comfortable. Here's some with the new smaller buttons required, I could have asked the seamstress if she could've open the button holes up to accommodate the 25mm button, which is more correct. Maybe in the warmer weather. [-o< First picture I'm wearing two s...

Indiana Croft

I resemble that remark, as I have turned 65, and I too feel like I belong in a museum.

Indiana Croft

I have couple of Karolina and there in my rotation of wear, as I wear Indy shirts all the time, latterly 3/4 times a week. I don’t have the new Todd’s, so if yo7 got that route. I have questions he seem to have hard time answering, from the collar, what is the length. But l digress, both a4e well co...

Indiana Croft

That is a very nice lid.
Arrrg, so many hats to buy, I’ve always liked this lis, but I want a DoD too.
Wonder if AdC
Vantage does a YIJ in the Harrison collection.

But that does look gtreat and you wear it well.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Me again.
Darker taupe scarf is in, sweater is done and should get this week.
I’m in the same camp, based on my above shots, the scarf is to tan, and should be a little darker, we’ll see.
And as long as I get it before my surgery, I’ll try to take some shots.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Whoa, that jacket looks like a perfect fit for your frame.
Now get the sand paper out

or at least he water treatment and walk around in it.
Get that worn look.
But it really looks great.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Order up a pair of Indy Magnoli professors glasses, about 80.00 I think.
Take to your optometrist and have them change out the lens.
It’s what I did with prescription glasses, they had no problems.
And there more screen accurate, no offense to the Amazon pair.

Indiana Croft

Has to a local law enforcement person you can check with. It can be deadly with the right person, but most are not experts, some are. Myself, couple cracks I can do. But I could never defend myself with it. Inquire, can’t hurt to ask. Just need a backyard or some place private to practice. Croft :mr...

Indiana Croft

I hear regarding the whip, but for me, the hat and jacket are an everyday wear, with sometimes the shirt.
No odd looks and if there was, misa not care (in JarJar voice.

Croft

Indiana Croft

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.

And what size is the James Dean jacket, might give you a start. You can judge sizing that way.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Nice jacket, and most won’t realize it’s not a the jacket, the hat it what pulls it off, the whip, the holster, the shirt, the pants………. Oh what fun it is to put the gear together. My first Indy jacket was a A2 with cuffs and I thought I was all that. Hope to see you in a picture with the gear you h...

Indiana Croft

No worries on the pictures, something are more important, Canary islands, nice.
I've found a dark scarf I want to try in 100% Alpaca Wool.

We shall see, as I can see the appeal of a little darker than the taupe version.
Safe travels.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Holt I have a question regarding the scarf, the darker version you own.
What material is it.

And do you have any pictures of both light and dark together.

Croft

Indiana Croft

YAY And my buttons came in from Dalexs, thank you sir. There perfect, but I have a sickness, there a nice chocolate brown. Took them down stairs and hit them with some 600grit sandpaper and nocked the shine off and revealed some nice lighter brown underneath, along the edges. Perfect for that vintag...

Indiana Croft

Thank ya ma’am.
Took In the AM, was cool, but was warm.
But ya, it’s comfy.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Took a moment today in yhe AM to snap some shots. Now the Buttons are on there way, Thanks Dalexs. So while there the wrong buttons I wanted to see ho it looked with my DoD jacket it'd be the one I start wearing it with (minus the whip and holster of course :TOH: ) to see how much it hung out, did s...

Indiana Croft

I’ll throw my hat in the ring, pardon the pun “welcome to the club” and I too am jealous. I’ve wanted a DoD ever since getting my jacket. It really does suit you. May I inquire what your time frame was from date of order to when you received it, and what size is yours. Oh and more pictures to. :? Cr...

Indiana Croft

Look forward to getting m6 set, I’ll contact the seamstress and let her know of the up coming job.
She’s a godsend for my project like this, I can sew a button on, but on this kind of material, I’ll leave it to the expert.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Regarding the button size, the 25mm when I tried pushing it through was difficult. 23mm might be also, but could work. But you can put me down for 6, $10.50 is less than the Etsy I was thinking of getting. Plus there US based, mine are from Hong Komng. I’d rather go the US way. Croft :clap: PM your ...

Indiana Croft

Received my LL Bean Cardigan, and while not ''chunky'' like Dinty-More stew, it's thick enough. Pictures soon, getting over a small bout of poison ivy. :x But soon. For the buttons, on my Vaboom I used the recommend 25mm, but unless your going to have the button hole made larger, 25mm is to big. I t...

I found the button side one page up or back. 25mm And the promo card must be specific to your purchase if you signed up for their email. I tried the code but it says it was redeemed already, buy thanks for trying. I'll sign up for the emails, get my code and order it up. Now for the buttons, and if ...

I was planning on ordering mine tomorrow in hopes they have a Labor Day sales. But thanks for the coupon, will definitely try it out. Buttons I found on Etsy for my Vaboom sweater. Type in leather buttons. I want to say that somewhere in this thread was the size. Issue I had was how the collar doesn...

I own one Wested Raiders Hero, I gave some measurement's and got lucky. Others have not been so, not bashing the creator of the iconic jacket, but if you do research you'll read a lot of stories, some good, some not so. Now if you want a better chance of getting the jacket and have it fit, Steel &am...

Welcome to the club, your jacket looks awesome, can’t wait to see what it looks like later down the road.

I was going to pull the trigger, but sounded like the back length was similar to Karolina older versions, to short for me.
I asked couple times, but never got a satisfactory answer.
So if anyone gets a M or L, all i want to know is from the shirt collar seam to bottom, back side.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Ok, watched the vidieo to get some tips. Does anyone know what he's using in the water to color/weather the shirt :-k I did something similar to one of my shirts using Indy Magnoli method, using Potassium Permanganate, which goes on purple and dry's to a nice brownish hue. Here's the link to that th...

Indiana Croft

So I don’t have one and actually never heard of them.
Do you have a link so 8ncan check them out.
As I wear the indy shirt like several times a week.

Croft

Indiana Croft

I always thought it was the mileage, not the years.

But am anxious too, for you in hopes Wested makes a winner.
But when you’re ready for yet another jacket, do try S&J, they make a fine jacket.

Looking forward to your pictures.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Did you ever figure the back length?

It’s the only thing holding me back.

Croft

Indiana Croft

Goals to strive for, I know I could loose a few.
Sometimes my shirts will give me the incentive.

Good luck an can't wait for pic's from the CON.

Croft, I have just enlisted you to my first trip back in time.

Let's see what we find there...

We will find the future my young friend.
Just need to do some research on Mega bucks #'s first.

Nice fit, the leather novapelle, while not my choice, as I always thought it wasn't a real leather.
So, question. What is novapelle leather and what make's it different from lamb.

Your pictures make the leather almost looking distressed.
Nice looking and it really does fit you well.

Reach out, he has great customer service, (no pressure Karolian) but I had an issue with a mark on my first, and he swapped with no problems. So as long as he has the 36, you should be all set. But as far as the length, most of us have had to take them to a Taylor or seamstress. Just ask for a milit...

Well in Wconlys defense, he did lead me in the direction of the oil riggers jacket, I need to take couple pictures to update how it fair over winter, which was awesome.
