BendingOak- Thanks bro that did the trick! I think there's different versions of Pecards, any specific one I should get?

NewJerseyRaider

nicetrylaoche- When I got it the fedora was a bit snug but still wearable. It used to leave the slightest of red marks on my forehead, but it was good in a sense as it kept it from blowing off in windy situations. BendingOak- Thanks for the idea, I looked inside and Steve wrote 22" on the sweat...

NewJerseyRaider

It hasn't been worn alot, in fact it still looks brand new. With the exception of some water stain on the inside liner, you'd think it was straight outa the box.

NewJerseyRaider

So I've had my AB Last Crusade fedora almost 2 years now. It's always been tight, leaving a red mark on my forehead after wearing it, but it was still wearable, but after it got a good soaking it shrunk even more. It's been sitting on a Penman Hat Jack, and when I take it off it's comfortable for aw...

NewJerseyRaider

Awesome, thanks BendingOak!

NewJerseyRaider

So I wore my LC Adventurebilt to England and Wales for vacation last week. Everytime I wear this fedora, no matter where it is I get compliments on it. One time I went to the local Pizza place and the guy behind the counter goes..."Now that's a fedora!" I got a few compliments on it on the...

NewJerseyRaider

Sold! Thanks to Indiana Jeff!

NewJerseyRaider

I'll try to get some pics up later. When wearing the fedora, the pinch is moved slightly to my right...so it would be to the left if your looking at me.
Since it goes to the right a little, that side bash is also slightly smaller as a result?

NewJerseyRaider

Hey guys, Im just curious if the LC style is supposed to have this? It seems to be off centered, or maybe my head is just crooked? Haha I can usually get it straight again after playing with it for a little bit, but it seems to go back, also one bash is slightly smaller than the other? I always grab...

NewJerseyRaider

If anyone is looking to get this watch, I'm selling mine. For about half of what it's being retailed for also. I put a post up in the classifieds below. I would be keeping it, if it wasn't for my current financial state

NewJerseyRaider

Ok, well I have had it for a month or so now...I simply love this hat!! Here's a few pictures..I'm still messing around with the bash, etc etc... Watchya think? http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/elwood93/Indy%20Gear/DSC02557.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/elwood93/Indy%20Gear/DSC02554...

NewJerseyRaider

How's Magnoli's material compared to Wested?
I've got a pair of Wested pants, and find them to be slighty itchy...I'm guessing because of the wool. Definitely not something I'd want to wear when it's hot outside!

NewJerseyRaider

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of the new straps, as shown in Yoshinori's pictures?
They looked very SA....plus the ones on my bag aren't very comfortable if there's alot of weight in the bag.....not sure if these would be any better tho? But...at least they look better!
Josh

NewJerseyRaider

If he's this hard to get ahold of now, what's it like when you place an order?

NewJerseyRaider

Have you tried calling him?

NewJerseyRaider

TundraRider-Thanks for the advice! I'd really like a Penman...but I just can't do the wait right now. So I'm really leaning at a AB or the Henry...I really do like the look of it. Plus it's ready to be shipped, which is great... I'm curious is the Henry would fit as good on my small head, as a AB?? ...

NewJerseyRaider

Thanks for the quick reply BendingOak.
It's good for you that your so busy. I was really hoping I'd be able to get one from you....bummer about the wait.
I think I'll give AB a try.....do you think they're about the same in price now?
Josh

NewJerseyRaider

Thanks for the advice everyone.
BendingOak- I'm not positive it's the only one that's work for me either...it's all kind of a guess as I've never worn an actual fedora before, just the Dorfman for Halloween.

What exactly is the difference between Adventurebuilt, and Adventurebilt Deluxe...?

NewJerseyRaider

Do you know if Adventurebilt do a TOD version.....or just the CS?

NewJerseyRaider

Well after reading alot of the posts and seeing many, many great images of fedoras I do believe I'll be going with a TOD. It seems that many people bash that version because of the taper, but that seems it's what'll look good on me, and that's the most important. I'm semi tall and thin to start with...

NewJerseyRaider

Kentucky- Not sure of my head size....but I'm pretty sure it's a smaller size...will have to measure later..
And yes I'm also positive it's a Dorfman Pacific....it has a raw edge on the brim...doesn't have a ribbon.

NewJerseyRaider

Hey boys, Thanks for all the great help....here's some pictures of me wearing an cheap "indy fedora" I picked up couple years ago for Halloween. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/elwood93/Indy%20Gear/DSC02075.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/elwood93/Indy%20Gear/DSC02074.jpg h...

NewJerseyRaider

Gentleman, Thank you to all who chipped in with advice, I do truly appreciate it! I have decided that custom is the way to go as well...I've always said if your going to spend a good amount of cash on something, mine as spend the extra and get something that's really nice. I do think I'll go with so...

NewJerseyRaider

Thanks for the advice so far guys! I had a typo and meant to say that I'm not really looking to wait 5-6 months.....but if it's the difference of getting what fits right as opposed to what doesn't....then I shall wait.

NewJerseyRaider

Hello everybody, I've been around the COW for quite some time, however this is my first post and real interest into getting a fedora! So first I'd like to say hello to all the other mad hatters here :TOH: There's just so many choices...and for somebody who's never really worn one before...how does o...

NewJerseyRaider

Does anyone have any pictures of you wearing this tie, preferably with a Indy shirt? I did a search, but came up with about 9,000 results, so sorry if this has been asked/posted before. I've got several of his items already, looking to add to my collection...wondering how this one would look with In...

NewJerseyRaider

Insomniac- If you do a google search on the name, it'll show that Hamilton contacted Harrison Ford, he helped design it, for a bit of an "Indy" feeling toward it. Also, I believe if you buy it straight from Hamilton, 100% proceeds go to some charity for helping the habitat...or something a...

NewJerseyRaider

I don't know if this has been posted before, but here's a watch that has actually been designed with Mr. Ford's help!
I really like the design and look of it...the price on the other hand, not so much....

http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/webapp/en- ... c=ka&y=132

NewJerseyRaider

If he sent it thru the post office, that just means its waiting to get cleared from Customs. Cross your fingers is right...those buggers take forever with stuff sometimes..I deal with them couple times a week

NewJerseyRaider

This bag is actually pretty nice. I use it all the time as a carry-on. I feel its safer as it has a zipper on top, and two smaller snap pockets on the back side...perfect for holding the passport or ipod...
It is a bti smaller than the MKVII...but it still gets the job done.

NewJerseyRaider

I wonder how hard it would be to contact the costume designer directly and just ask them? According to IMDB, Bernie Pollack and Mary Zophres were the designers for the movie. Also I don't know if it was mentioned before, but in the one scene where Indy is packing to leave his house, you can see a ba...

NewJerseyRaider

I'm looking for a Bullwhip to complete my costume...so I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Josh

NewJerseyRaider

Thank you very much everyone for the help..I do believe the Dorfman will be perfect...after that I just need the bullwip.... ZTMario...what size is your DP? I'm thinking a small or medium will fit..I do have a small head. Man I'd so love to plop down the money for the real thing, but I'm thin and th...

NewJerseyRaider

Hello everyone, Just as the title states, I'm looking for a fedora for Halloween. I dont want to spend a lot of money, as its not something I'd wear often-if ever. So if anyone has one their looking to unload, please send me a PM. I'm not sure what hat size I'd wear, other than to say that when I to...

NewJerseyRaider

Looks like I'll be getting a DP as well...IndyBlues offered me his, but its a Large, I need a Medium..

I live in NJ, anyone live near here that they'd like to get rid of? lol
Thanks guys,
Josh

NewJerseyRaider

Akubra, Ive heard of those..dont you hafta trim them? I dont know a lot about bashing, and all the other terms used...Im looking for a Fed I can just throw on, and not worry about messing 'round with it. What about I found some of the "officially licensed" hats from....Universal..I think. ...

NewJerseyRaider

Hey Guys, After being invited to a Halloween party, and realizing I have no costume, my Indy gear was the first thing to pop into mind. I have everything except the Hat, Whip, and correct belts. All else comes from Wested. I love Fedoras, but , being a thin little man I just dont look quite right in...

NewJerseyRaider

The tan MKVII your prolly thinking about is a recent repro, called the Indiana by Travelproof. Its only sold in stores over in England, and its tan it color, with more outside pockets that the original MKVII, plus a zipper too. I cant think of the store of where I got mine from, but do a search, the...

NewJerseyRaider

Pyro,
Ive heard of this dryel stuff being mentioned before, have you ever tried it?
Can you use it on both the pants and shirt?

NJR

NewJerseyRaider

I recieved my Wested Pants/shirt combo along with a Raiders goat last month. Quality is awesome with all his products, and theres been enough reviews so I wont go into it here. But both the pants and shirt seem a little too stiff for me, to wear first w/o washing. I emailed Peter, and he said he rec...

NewJerseyRaider

Hey Bruce, when did you order your jacket? I ordered mine around end of oct, im hoping I'll get it by x-mas?
NJR

NewJerseyRaider

Thats awesome, so that means hopefully I'll be receiving mine soon!

NewJerseyRaider

Hey Indy1936,
When did you order your jacket? I ordered mine around the end of oct, im just trying to think when to expect mine to come?

NewJerseyRaider

Ok great, thanks a lot I'll hafta make arrangements with my local PO so they can just drop it off. In case any of you guys want your mail carrier to just leave any packages without you actually having to be there to sign for it, what you do is leave a note asking for a #3849 pink slip, or just a pin...

NewJerseyRaider

I should be expecting my Wested Raidres in about a month or so, and I was wondering if theres a signature required at time of delivery?
I havent heard anything about it, but I dont wanna delay it anymore than possible. Thanks a lot,
NJR

NewJerseyRaider

When I called yesterday, whoever I talked to on the phone ( didnt catch his name, im horrible at trying to understand people with accents...dont ask), said that the new shipment of goat is supposed to arrive this week. As for the wait, I dont think it'll be that bad. Try waiting for the next NHL sea...

NewJerseyRaider

I just ordered my Raiders Aunthentic brown goat this morning, 11/2, and Wested said that there still waiting for the order of goat to come in, but he said it'll be about 3 weeks! I didnt get many extras, just 2 piece under arm gussets, and antique brass zips and d-ring. Pretty simple jacket. And sin...

NewJerseyRaider

Thanks for all the help guys, its always nice to feel welcomed! :D Indiana Ken- So when you order yours you dont ask for the jacket to be made extra roomy, to accommodate for sweaters, you just leave it as they come? And Scandinavia Jones-Thanks for chiming in on the one about the diary sized inner ...

NewJerseyRaider

Cool, thanks guys, I'll hafta check it out. I was hoping to get one at a local leather shop so I dont hafta use the one that WPG gave me with the bag. Im flying to FT.Lauderdale Saturday, then going on a Caribbean cruise (God help me!!) this weekend, and I wanted to use my MKVII as a carry-on, but w...

NewJerseyRaider

Thanks for the help guys, I much appreciate it! I'll hafta give Peter a call tomorrow, and see what he says. Ive read about guys giving him their wrist, neck and other measurements, and ive always wondered if it was really neccasary.
