Thanks Steve, loving it!

ordered: 06-12-2007
received: 08-29-2008

It had to be shipped all the way to Germany, but was very much worth the wait.

That's Jean Picker Firstenberg, CEO and director of AFI.

I feel so proud to have bought one of your hats before you got "famous".

Awesome Steve and Marc! Congrats!

I'm still waiting for my first real fedora. And Steve is working on it right now

QuantumGirl

when deciding on what to get, you may also wanna keep in mind that ordering a Keppler is quite a task. I gave up on it because I can't call that guy all the time from Germany. I placed my order over a year ago and already gave him my CC information but never heard back from him afterwards. So I'm go...

QuantumGirl

Wow, Orlando Bloom!

Can you even cross a street without young girls asking for your autograph? The resemblence is awesome!
Welcome to COW btw! Yor pics are awesome. And I don't even wanna know what that guy on your Papua New Guinea pic is holding in his hand...

QuantumGirl

wow, that is one amazing hat. Awesome job again Steve!
If Harrison doesn't want it (yeah right

) I'll take it.

QuantumGirl

Holy Smoke!

I should really get my butt more into the fedora section instead of only lao che and props.
That is so awesome Steve! I'm very happy for you! Keep us updated!

QuantumGirl

I think Pandora is right.
Especialy since the bag didn't even exist in the 30s. I think they put the leather strap on there so it didn't look like a WWII army bag anymore, but a bag Indys character would wear.

QuantumGirl

Can I use any kind of flannel or are there any special specifications? I'm not a tailor and don't know anything about sewing

QuantumGirl

I started this topic almost a year ago and still don't have the jacket because I didn't come up with enough money then. Consequently I almost froze to death in my lambskin Raiders last winter. :wink: Anyway, I thought I'd give it another try this year. Is INDIANAMIKEY still around to guide me to tha...

QuantumGirl

and would an 8ft. or 10ft. whip be more screen accurate?

QuantumGirl

I'm looking for a whip that's screen accurate so I'm sure you'd recommend a DM, Stenhouse or Strain. Unfortunatly, those are way too expensive for me :? and I don't wanna learn to crack a whip anyway (at least not right now :wink: ) So I'm basically looking for a display prop under $100, but it shou...

QuantumGirl

here we go. Hope it's the shot you were talking about:

QuantumGirl

I already took some shots. (I always do when watching Harrison DVDs

)
Just gotta wait a few hours till I get home to my computer to upload them.

Flattery was nice enough to call him for me and place my order.

I'm wearing a 7, I think. But my Keppler is already ordered now anyway.

QuantumGirl

I know I wouldn't be able to bash my own fed, so now Akubra for me. I'd just mess up, and I've been thinking about what hat to get for a long time. I like fedoras hats too, but I've wanted a Keppler for a year or so now. I don't mind the wait either 'cause from what I've read, the long wait is well ...

QuantumGirl

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this. If not, just move it please. All right, a few months ago, I send an email to Lee with my order for a Radiers fedora and a bag strap. After months without a reply, I send him another one and he just answered that he didn't get my first email and r...

I already have a accurate Raiders jacket, which I love to death but I'm affraid it's gonna be too cold to wear during winter. :? I'm therefore thinking about getting another one, Last Crusade style this time. :D I read a couple of threads and it seems like the predistressed cowhide would be good for...

QuantumGirl

I got mine today. Thanks! Love it!

QuantumGirl

Yeah, that's my question. From what I've heard, Lee Kepplers is a good choice?! :? I'm going for the Raiders style and want it to be screen accurate to that particular movie. Any thoughts? Also, another quick question: When ordering from Lee, do you have to pay right when you order or whenever he's ...

QuantumGirl

Wow, those pix are really neat. Thanks for posting!

Hey, and there is Spock in the background. What a time leap!

Jess… the horror! THE HORROR! Lump us with The Trekkies? If you haven’t noticeds, most of us are no longer living in our parents basement. Hey watch it Fisk, I happen to be a Gearhead AND a Trekker, despite the fact that I have my own pad. More space for my Indy and Trek stuff. Oh and my Star Wars ...

QuantumGirl

Wow, I didn't know it would be a problem to wear your fedora in puplic in the US. When I visited Texas, I saw a lot of people wearing hats. SO WEAR IT! :D Over here in Germany it's really tough though. I tried wearing a hat one time and everybody, and I really mean EVERYBODY was starring at me stran...

QuantumGirl

Under the seam is how it was made for the film. I'm not so sure about that. Save this pic to your harddrive, open it with Photoshop or something similiar and zoom in. To me, it looks like an X-box pattern. :? I might as well just see ghosts though :wink: http://www.imageshack.us/img2/8360/acap004.j...

QuantumGirl

I'm so happy 'cause I got my jacket today. Man, that was fast

It's so awesome!!!!! I love it. Can't wait to wear it tomorrow. I'll try to get up some pics soon.

QuantumGirl

THANKS!!!!!! That actually worked!

QuantumGirl

got an answer from ebay. Seems like the haven't really read my request though. It says I can't see the item because it's considered pornographic

Weird! Is there something about the bag I haven'd figured out yet?

QuantumGirl

All right, I just sent them an email. Hope they'll answer. I'll let you know if they do. So, if one lives in the country the auction is located, one would be able to actually look at the item and bid?

QuantumGirl

Every time I spot a Mk-VII bag on ebay and wanna look at the auction, I get this message: "Dear User: Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country. Based on our discussions with concerned government agencies and eBay c...

I just got my first Mk-VII bag and it has this black stripe on it. Has anybody of you been able to get it off? I was thinking about using sandpaper but I don't want holes in my bag :? Any ideas? Also, did you wash your bag when you first got them? Mine stinks pretty bad and it's so dirty that it's k...

I got mine today!

They look really soooooo close to the original.
Has anybody of you tried to distress them?

Eiti wrote:I hope you took care of the "back" of your Jacket !

I told them to change my order accordingly, but Peter e-mailed me that the back is standard on these jackets nowadays and can't be altered.

I got the right pocket placement though.

QuantumGirl

Don't worry, I understood it anyway.

And I ordered my jacket today. Boy, this waiting is already getting on my nerves now.

QuantumGirl

Ahhhh, this is so great. I was searching all Tschibo stors in my area to see if they had any left. Didn't know you could order them online. Thanks Eiti!!!

QuantumGirl

On the Indy Gear site, Sentimental an Roadster are listed as sources for the bag. Well, I visisted their site, but couldn't find any. So either I am to stupid ore they don't have them anymore??? If so, is their another source you guys now of, carrying them right now? Seems like everytime a site turn...

QuantumGirl

This is probably a really stupid question now, but where exactly is the first nuckle of the thumb? Are you counting upside down?

Which one is it?

I'm really not that smart I guess.

So when I measure my arm from shoulder to the first nuckle of my thumb, I should add 1/2 inch for sleeve ride up?

All right, after spending days reading through this forum, I think I'm finally ready to order my first Wested. I want a screen accurate Raiders jacket.

QuantumGirl

well, I want to get a Raiders jacket. Hm, which scene? Did the fasteners really change from scene to scene???

If so, which one was used more often then?

QuantumGirl

Cotton Silesia was originally used for the lining. Has somebody of you tried it? If so, would you recommend it and what's the difference to normal cotton?

QuantumGirl

Since most of you got the D-Ring fasteners, may I conclude that's what was used in the movies?

QuantumGirl

Hi guys! I'm new to this great forum!!! :D I'm about to order my first Western, but I just can't decide. I want it to look as screen accurate as possible and I'll propably go with the Raiders. They used authentic lambskin, didn't they? But what I was wondering is, does the color really look like in ...
