Good to know. They had some there, just too small. They look great.

That was the way to go! :TOH: How was Joe and Nelda? Regards! Michaelson They weren't there today, but by the sound of the emails we had discussing my hat it seems they're fine. Love that place...I almost walked out of there with 2 more hats! :shock: I resisted but will be back in the spring when t...

Finally took it to Peters Bros Hats in Fort Worth and they stretched it for me and sold me a hat retainer as well. Thanks Peters Bros!

They are somewhat chromed...but very easy to distress with a little steel wool.

I really don't think it's the sweatband. The hat seems like it's a size too small. If that's the case...what are my options for making it a little bigger? Would you recommend the stretcher for that too?

Texas Jones

How exactly do you use one of those? Do you steam anything? Do you stick it in and leave it overnight?

Texas Jones

I have an Adventurebilt I got about a year ago, I'm not sure if it's the fact I gained alot of weight or if the hat was in the sun and shrunk a tad bit, but the hat is a little too tight for comfort. I'm wondering if there's a trick that I can do at home to loosen up the tightness a tish without com...

Texas Jones

Still have a bunch left....

Texas Jones

So what makes these more perfect than, say, the AB buckle? Well, I don't want to get into a big debate, I'll let you all do the debating. ;) Just compare the screenshots and the buckle options, and decide for yourself. The biggest thing I've learned after years of enjoying the indygear hobby is the...

Hello everyone....

I came accross a box of my old buckles, and I'm wanting to sell them off. More information here: http://crookedpathfilms.com/tag

These are still to date the most accurate you'll find. Post any questions you may have.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm selling my old stock of Raiders buckles here: http://www.crookedpathfilms.com/tag

Some of the long-time members might remember me as "Texas Action Gear." These are still, IMO, still the most screen-accurate.

Thanks!!

Texas Jones

Texas Jones if you won’t sell them any longer, at least reveal where you sourced them from! - Mac Hey guys.... I'm sorry I haven't been to the board for a long time. I actually have a huge box of strap buckles in my shop. I guess I need to spread the wealth...haha. I actually had them made for me b...

I thought it was Jeffery Boam?

Texas Jones

The ONLY reason Indy has the Webley is because Rob MacGregor saw one in a gun shop, thought it was neat looking, and wrote it into the LC storyline. He told me this himself while consulting with me on guns for his book/program 'Amazon' several years ago. No other reason than an authors whim, plain ...

Texas Jones

I'm pretty sure that this is the same whip I got about 15 years ago when living in Seattle. If it is, it's 8-plait, rubber swivel handle, and doesn't taper much to the fall. The fall was like an inch wide, too. I ended up braiding over the handle and trimming the fall. Worked pretty good after that.

Texas Jones

This is my 2nd AB, and let me say it's spot on. I got it open crown - and ABs are almost impossible to bash wrong. Got it right the first try! Awesome job Steve!

Texas Jones

It looks to me that the Raiders jacket in the film either doesn't have hand-warmers or they are sewn shut. Anyone have any screen grabs to prove otherwise?

Texas Jones

So a question to our non-American friends: Is Simon Cowell actually a nice guy who's misunderstood by the overly sensitive Americans? Just curious. Customer service is a "culture." There are alot of American businesses that do not have hospitality intergrated into their business culture. T...

Not trying to stir up a controversy here, but I have pondered this in the past. Is it possible that the 80s cut jacket is EXACTLY THE SAME as the regular fit? Has anyone owned both styles in the same size who can post pics comparing the two?

Are you sure it's a repro and not an authentic? Hey, I'll trade my Hulk green one for your khaki one...

Yes, about 4 years ago the Bourne Supremecy has the villian (played by Karl Urban) sporting the infamous and unaltered bag at the beginning of the film while pursuing Jason Bourne.

Texas Jones

I ordered it in fall of '04. I couldn't say if it was chrome or veg. tanned. It was definately tougher. It wouldn't rip or anything like that, but the shiny finish on both jackets are similarly easy to distress. The most notable difference between the two are obvious when I got in the car to drive s...

Yes, Wested. I know they complied because I ordered a second without the request and it is noticeably thinner. Here ya go:

I just reported this to ebay. I am upholding my citizen rights as a COW member to enforce fraudulant gear. Lets go get em boys!

Texas Jones

I asked for my jacket to made with "thicker" hides of lamb, and that produced a pretty thick n' tough jacket while keeping with the lamb softness.

Texas Jones

I don't know if they still have them, but Walmart had brown kids cowboy hats for awhile. I took one, put a ribbon on it, steamed it, and trimmed the brim for my little boy. You can get a black grosgrain ribbon from Michaels.

Texas Jones

I still have a bunch of these buckles left. No more straps, or leather to make the straps, but have the buckles nonetheless. Perhaps I should sell them?

I visited Jimmy at Jimmy Pierce Designs today in beautiful Granbury, TX, and must say am impressed. I brought along my fedora made by someone else for a reblock Raiders style and it came out perfect. He makes it look so easy but I know (from trying to bash and shape the hat myself) how much of an ar...

Texas Jones

This is what I used on the back of the straps I made. I thinned it down with water because it goes on pretty thick (its like rubbery acrylic paint). Hope it helps!

72" most definately. Anyone over 6' should get that size. That will ensure proper placement of the buckle on the chest.

Texas Jones

Are you guys blind? That hat is obviously brown, they must be in a Clipper or something.

Texas Jones

I remember seeing something in here about this block, again from hatshapers:

http://www.hatshapers.com/Product%20Pag ... d_Dome.htm

Anyone ever try it? Seems pretty nice. Maybe I'll order one and post a review, my AB is due for a reblock.

Texas Jones

The picture on the website looks like a great Raiders fedora. This hat doesn't look at all like that one. Not to say that is bad, it's a great looking fedora just doesn't match the website's. Just my 2 abes.

Texas Jones

I've purchased 2 Westeds from Peter, never having a problem with either one. Can I see an example of how Peter is not taking someone seriously? Did I miss something?

Cheers to Peter and Wested...

Isn't the Mummy revolver a French Model 1874 11MM Service Revolver?

That would make sense, as Rick was in the French Army (Foreign Legion?) prior to his escapades.

Texas Jones

Well said milesfides! As for your question, I asked Todd the same thing:

Todd, That look great. I wish you the best of luck with this new venture. Four questions: 1) Leather texture.
