Michaelson, I'm so happy yer still here at COW. Somebody sent me a PM asking about some distressing based on some old pics on one of my posts and they dragged me over here.
Its heartening to see you still know things and are sharing that knowledge still.

Jeez. I'm so unbelievably saddened by this. So so sorry for the loss. For all of us.

Good night , sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

LOL, I read that thread, Rabittooth. I can see you convulsing right now. :shock: :D But we've got some new info since 2002, including that "Last Crusade" publicity still and the question of why the gunbelt is reversed in "Crystal Skull." -Craig Sorry Craig..I'm not familiar with...

Somebody archive those pics and sticky this thread so that we can finally put this to rest. Then they'll only be the socks thing for the newbs to post.

1) What are people doing to keep their Chicago screws from falling out? 2) This one's more theoretical: why would anyone use such a crummy attachment mechanism to begin with? 1) A small drop of crazy glue will keep it from opening, but will come apart with enough force when nessa. 2) They probably ...

Thanks guys! Indycrazy5187 - I'm waiting for a good Ford head to be made. I've owned a lot of them in the past but nothing has captured Ford's Raiders look as closely as I'd like, so I've always ended up letting them go. Hopefully someone will sculpt the ultimate version and when they do, I'll be s...

Rabittooth

WPG looks the best to me there. I've always perceived the Raiders shirt to be more of a warm gray or stone color.

Oh man...I did it ALL THE TIME as a kid of 13! I had one of those swivel handle whips like this: http://whipcrackin.com/library/ws06lr.jpg I used to wet the end of it (this really helped to hold the wrap tightly enough to swing on), wrap it around tree branches, give a strong pull to tighten and swi...

Rabbittooth, what did he do custom to your brim and crown? They're both a bit shorter I believe than his standard offering. It's funny, but I'm really picky about the way a fedora looks on me. The standard Indy hats look good on me to everyone else, but for some reason they look ridiculous to me . ...

Rabittooth

Mine...but it's a custom job as far as crown and brim sizing.

Black socks mostly. Stuntman wore white at least once in Raiders. http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8964/cap0085tu.png http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=12534&highlight=socks http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=1508 http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=6045&highligh...

I'd also like to thank Gus. I have one of his whips, and it's really a fantastic piece. I'm definitely gonna get another one (or two) down the road. The speed of his production and delivery coupled with the quality of his product and the PRICE! I'm very impressed. I try to send business his way when...

Rabittooth

Sure. He's THE MAN. Plus...how old is he now? For some folks, an Indy whip created by hands of the original artist would be worth much more. He's probably making fewer of them as well...making them more rare.
And as I said...someday there will be no more new DM whips.

I believe I ordered my Keppler in July and got it as promised in late September. Also, if you deal with Lee by phone, you'll never have any trouble getting in touch with him. Via email I think it's tougher for him because of all the running about he does to gun shows etc.

Get the gunbelt about 6 inches longer than your waist, so it can hang. No reason to have a webbing belt if the gunbelt covers it up, right? I attatched the whip holder to the area of the gunbelt that will go through a belt loop or two (my right hip). Actually, I've always been confused by this. I'v...

for whatever it's worth... I found this on my hardrive:

Amazing resemblance!

Great Jacket too.

Yeah...I just want to point out that there's a lot of talk about crown height and brim width as it looks a certain people's heads / faces. I'm one of those folks afflicted with the inability to look good in any standard Raiders hat. Actually...I didn't request anything specific as far as measurement...

Yep...you named my one major problem with the bag...it's plastic hardware.

I like the looks of this one and it's actually cheaper. Then there's this one which you can fit a laptop into, but it's $20, but that's still not bad. I've seen that one. Pretty cool, but with a velcro closure and only one main compartment and one small interior one that would only hold papers. Wit...

Hey Doc...I'm with Ken on this one. I'd just try to reshape that sucker a bit. Give the sides an upward curl, flip the back up a tad and tighten up that front pinch and I think you'd be happier with the way it looks.

I don't care what anyone says...the ribbon in Raiders always came off looking black to me. Same way the shirt might have been flippin' pink in reality for all I care...on screen it looked stone colored, so that's the color I want in a shirt.

Kinda rare for me to get a new piece of gear, so I thought I'd share.
