I always assumed that the logic for having the bag under the jacket was that Indy usually travels to hot places, so he would be taking on and taking off his jacket much more frequently than the bag, therefore it made sense to have it under the jacket. I used to live in the Subtropics, and I would be...

Shia is definitely reminiscent of Brando in Wild One, although it's a little too early to compare Labeouf to Brando methinks.

Ghos7a55assin

In the new video with Shia, you see Indy in his new gray hat.

Banana Republic also did a run of shawl-collared sweaters over the winter. I think they only came in cream and gray, though.

Ghos7a55assin

Looks like you plucked it all right off Ford's back- looks great!

Ghos7a55assin

When I wear the bag, I rarely take it off. It usually just hangs there at my hip, and I move it onto my lap or position it behind me if I sit down. So I'm in the "under the jacket" school.

Ghos7a55assin

Michaelson, do you still have the cotton Wested that we bought all those years ago? Mine is still hanging together- only the lining has started to come part at the armpits.

Ghos7a55assin

Isn't this the German site that was selling open crown Herbert Johnson hats 2 years ago?

Ghos7a55assin

Well done! In both pictures you look…well, dashing and dapper my friend. :D The GQ article states: “Be Your Own Man. It takes a lot more balls for a young guy to dress like this these days than just throwing on another iconic tee and a pair of skinny jeans. This kid is building a persona through hi...

Ghos7a55assin

It's on The Sartorialist, the fashion blog, and also on the GQ web-site.

Ghos7a55assin

Yup, that's me! I'm wearing the same tie, too.

Ghos7a55assin

Fedora, I did notice this on your sweatbands... Is this whythe back a bluish gray as opposed to most of my vintage hats and Akubra hats that have a brownish color?

That almost seems spot on for a KOTCS hat

Ghos7a55assin

.....creepy.

Ghos7a55assin

Now THAT SCREAMS class, old friend!!! :D :clap: What hat are you wearing in your photo, if I may ask? Come to think of it....how did you get hold of my grey AB? :-s :lol: :wink: Do you all SEE???? Grey hat....brown jacket? I TOLD you it worked!!! \:D/ That's pretty much the same combination I wear ...

I got my picture taken in SoHo, NYC by the fashion blogger Face Hunter on Monday. Sometimes we think of gear as replicas of a costume, getting caught up with a plethora of little screen accurate details, but in reality, Indygear is really just functional clothing. This was a nice reminder that Indy'...

Ghos7a55assin

I don't have a Lucky ligther, but I do carry around a replica WWII black crackle Zippo....its still looks right with the gear even if it's not totally accurate.

I just went paintballing wearingmy wested under a jumpsuit for added padding, but I realized afterwards that the cotton jumpsuit didn't stop all of the paint from seeping through, atleast not after the 5 or 6 rounds I had played. I used a tiny bit of handsoap and water to get the paint off, as water...

Ghos7a55assin

That last picture could bring up a brown/gray debate

Ghos7a55assin

Is it just me or are those pockets huge for a TOD?

Ghos7a55assin

I think that's just your eye being adjusted to Indy-specs...I think it's more trilby-ish, but it works for him.

Ghos7a55assin

Thanks!! Can't wait to see your rabbit AB!

Ghos7a55assin

Pictures are in the main Adventurebilt thread- yes, it's beaver, baby!

Ghos7a55assin

Some pictures of me donning the Adventurebilt for the first time: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/WrongEra/Adventurebilt/CIMG7429.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/WrongEra/Adventurebilt/CIMG7431.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/WrongEra/Adventurebilt/CIMG7440.jpg http://i16.p...

I was surprised, too! Chinese New Year in Taiwan was a few weeks ago, equivalent to the Christmas season in the states...the post office usually isn't very reliable. The hat fits great and is a beauty- straight from being pounced, it seems. I had to brush off some of the fuzz left on the crown :D I'...

Ghos7a55assin

My AB just arrived today- a whole day early! Thank you so much, Steve, for getting it here in time for my trip!

Ghos7a55assin

I just got a pm from Steve saying that he will ship my beaver AB tomorrow, so it will hopefully come in time for my trip!!!!!!

Ghos7a55assin

Haha Well I have other vintage gray fedoras, but they don't look as good with my summery linens and blazers. I've been wearing my newsboy cap everytime I'm out of a suit...

Ghos7a55assin

I accidentally left my Akubra in JFK Airport in NY last month, so I've been without a brown hat for the last month....I hope Steve can make my AB in time for my trip to Jakarta on March 7th!!!

Ghos7a55assin

Great looking ties! I'm saving up!

Ghos7a55assin

Fedora, I pmed you about needing the Adventurebilt for a trip. Could you please get back to me?

Thanks,
Ray

I'm on my 26th week and going...

Ghos7a55assin

Hey Magnoli, can you tie the tie, whether on yourself or on a mannequin? I want to see if it makes that tight Four-In-Hand knot that I love about 30's ties.

Ghos7a55assin

Call him yourself and check. I had to call land distance from overseas.

Ghos7a55assin

I just talked to Steve about 2 days ago. He says that he's almost at the end of his July orders and is going to start his August orders soon. I ordered my hat on Aug. 14, so I'm up soon I hope.

Ghos7a55assin

I'm at week 18- hopefully I'll get it by Christmas, but chances look slim.

Ghos7a55assin

*Gasp*!

Pardon my ignorance! I just checked my Akubra and an old Stetson- they both have darker brown reeding tape.

Ghos7a55assin

It looks good as a fedora, I think. Great with suit and tie. That's what I've been with my hats more these days, so it caught my eye. For an Indy fedora, specifically, the hat looks too small for your face. An Indy Fedora has to almost be too big for the wearer in terms of proportions of crown and b...

Ghos7a55assin

Umm....I don't get all the fuss. It's reeding....just like the reeding on most hat sweatbands.

Ghos7a55assin

I have a Whipartist roo hide whip holder. The design is the similar to Mola Rom's but with the advantage of being thinner and has higher tensile strength than cow hide.

Wested's INSEAM is 75 cm (29.5") Close enough's INSEAM is 82.5 cm (32.5") Thus, that means the rise is 3 INCHES longer! Basically your crotch seam hangs 3 inches lower than your other pants. That is a tremendous difference, and no wonder you feel like the pants is too saggy in the seat. I...

That has got to be the coolest workspace wallpaper ever! Thanks. Cheap as dirt on ebay, painted on real papyrus and mailed to ya straight from Egypt. I was surprised with the great colors and the price of these things. I bought enough to cover the 4 walls of my hat shop, but only got around to doin...

Over the summer I was interning in the fashion industry and I have found that the wholesale price is often half the retail price. Being a high-end brand, I found that wholesale, something maybe only be like $98 but cost like $200+ at Nordstrom's. This is reflected in Todd's and S.A.B.'s pricing- Tod...

Is it just me or does Paddy look like Adolphe Menjou with the moustache? Very dapper. I like the hat. Post about it on the Lounge.

Ghos7a55assin

1/ Don't have an American accent! 2/ Dress smartly as if you could buy the shopk if you wanted! 3/ Seem uninterested in THE hat! 4/ DO NOT ask any questions about the hat or its origins! 5/ They have improved the quality and the most important of all: 6/ KEEP SENDING EMAILS AS THEY ARE LISTENING AN...

The worst was the camel humps I'd get from the center dent. I started wearing vintage hats and the c-crown/teardrops are much better for shorter hair I find. It gives an even consistency in hat hair instead just down the middle of the head.

Ghos7a55assin

I started wearing fedoras with a crew cut- very very short. I found that if I got hat hair it'd be impossible to get rid of. When I moved I grew gradually grew my hair out. It took about 3 or 4 months to finally reach the right thickness. Now my hair is that sort of rakkish vintage hair cut- shorter...

Ghos7a55assin

I learned another way of getting rid of old odors on the Fedora Lounge. You can try mixing 1/2 water and 1/2 vodka in a spray bottle and spraying down the jacket. I'm not sure what kind of effect it would have on the leather. I've only tried it on wool suits. Is the smell in the leather or in the li...
