There's a typo on the testimonial page, it says "Tesimonial and photo(s)" 18 times. It wasn't actually a typo, it was meant to indicate what each person had submitted. Some might have submitted just a testimonal or just photos but this never happened so they were all the same. That being ...

I think he has done a very nice job with the look of the new website. Very clean. Classy looking. Agree. Very nice look, shame that the technology behind it is dated and there haven't been practically any new testimonials in two years. Hey what happened to http://adventurebilt.com/ and http://adven...

Thanks VP!

Harrison_Davies great minds must think alike.

I emailed them offering to design their site for them about a year or so ago, even did up a concept design (was hoping to trade for a jacket or something), but they never responded.

My father, my friend and myself all have Adventurebilt beaver lids.

Glad you guys like it. Yeah it needs some arms and hands, it's my home made mannequin work in progress. It has no head and I had no place to put the trooper so you get what you see there. The helmet is an FX one so it's kinda bobble head-like but it was free from a friend that upgraded to a more acc...

What do you think?

namebrand

Actually you guys are right it had been a while since I updated the photos and testimonials. I was swamped with work...though Frenchy yours has been up for a while. I try to get them up as quickly as possible, sometimes work prohibits me from it though. Jpenman, yours is now up. West, you must have ...

is that kens whip? Nope it was Neolithic's whip. After seeing it first hand I am now pretty happy with the colour. It is a tad dark, but I wouldn't want to ruin such a nice whip and like many of you have said, Indy's whip does appear quite dark quite often. Now to get me some Pecards and learn to c...

namebrand

Added a photo of the whip.

namebrand

It does seem to be an odd request, and I assume that from lack of any definitive answers that probably no one has attempted to lighten the colour of a whip. I would try it myself, but I don't know anything about whips or leather in order to know if I am causing major harm to the whip.

namebrand

Probably not, unless you throw the whip in a vat of bleach (now, seriously - don't do that). I assume we're talking screen accuracy here - "the whip" is supposed to be a bit dark and "antiqued" - natural tan roohide does get darker over time... no need to alter that whiskey-colo...

namebrand

Is there any way to lighten a whiskey coloured whip, or is the opion that whiskey is not too dark?

Upate: Got the whip and a pic of it. Yes I know my idol is naked...it needs some work still.

namebrand

Compared to some department store popular clothing brand leather non-Indy jackets, the Wested price is still comparable, or in many cases, less than what one would pay retail here in Toronto. In my opinion, even with the exchange rate it's still a good deal, price-wise, especially given Wested's &q...

Anyone know what shipping on those gloves might be to Canada? They are accurate other than the lining and the brown cuff band?

I had picked up one of the 357 toy guns like the Kapowwe ones I have seen mentioned here...I know they are not as nice as the 4" waterguns but they are only $2 Canadian at a dollar store near me so I figured why not. The other day I was looking at the Kapowwe site cause I wanted to look into ge...

I had thought about changing the colour of the scroll bar, but it would only work in IE and I try to make my sites as close to cross browser compatible as possible.

Is it the whole belt you are offering or just the buckle?

Ah, thanks for pointing it out guys. There was an error in the code, should be working fine now.

I apologize for any inconveniences this might have caused.

On the testimonial page, the pictures say that you can click on them to enlarge the picture. I could not get this feature to work. The window with the larger picture never appeared. Did this work for anyone else? Do you have a pop-up blocker or javascript disabled? It uses javascript pop-up windows...

Fedora is right, if I didn't make it clear in my first post you don't HAVE to have a testimonial, you can just submit a couple photos if you want.

Thanks for the kind words Fedora, I am glad to help you out.

Edit: Typo

I am the guy that built Fedora's site and I am currently making a testimonial and photos section for the site and wanted to collect testimonials and photos for it. If anyone would like to add their photos and/or testimonials to the site please email them to me. What I require is: Name Address (this ...

I just get my hand maid to zip mine up for me.

namebrand

It kind of reminds me of wimmens clothing as to how all their buttons and zippers can be "backwards" too. Isn't that odd also? Ever thot about why wimmens buttons are opposite of mens? From my understanding, women's clothing have the buttons on the opposite as men's as a carry over from V...

Site is well on it's way Fed, sent you an e-mail regarding it.

PM replied to.

I will also add, can't wait for the hats!

Anyone bought extras that might want to sell one? I just want one so $9 shipping seems a bit much, and also I am in Canada so I dunno if it would be more. Just curious.

Actually now that I look, they don't ship to Canada I don't think.

namebrand

Certainly I understand and appreciate the fact that Wested puts such emphasis on quality, I would have it no other way. The only problem for me is the bad timing of it. The added cost of the shipping and then duties and taxes for me would mean I can't afford the jacket. Being able to get my friend t...

####...I was hoping you guys would say that lamb was as good. I want goat but if I don't order it so I can get my friend to bring it back with him Dec 1 then I can't afford to get a jacket. Don't suppose anyone would want to give up their place in line for a goat?

namebrand

Is the difference between authentic lamb and authentic goat that much? I want to order one too but it needs to be done before Nov 28 so my friend can bring it back with him. Wested told me they couldn't guarantee it being done in goat by then.

namebrand

Are the alternate bands even going to be available?

Indiana Jerry wrote:Hehehe...yeah, I don't suggest redesigning the bands...folks are just going to have to buy an extra from you and change it out ion their own f they want to sometime!

namebrand

Hmm, that's a tough one. I like the script myself because it does make it look like a fine mens hat, but the Indy font works too. Do people get their choice when ordering the hat?
