Great advice!

Snakewhip_Sable

That saddle stitching certainly does a job on your fingers! Achey achey!

Thanks for the kudos!

Snakewhip_Sable

Yeah, Close Enough™ counts! Especialy if it works and no one can see the flaws underneath.

I'm making one myself, but I've made a non-historial belt attachment. It's also burgandy leather because I got it for free. Pretty sure it won't be as fine or cool as yours is.

I got my Old Indy cane from 'the Amazon' today.

Gimme any guff about it and I'll bookend ya.

My lovely wife bought me an Akubra Fed IV (and an Akubra Territory) in fawn. It arrived Friday! I haven't steamed it yet or decided on a final bash or pinch, but here it is. https://www.dominiongeographicsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AkubraFedIV_01.jpg https://www.dominiongeographicsociety....

Well, that's the whole point, innit?

Dang! In all this time, I've forgotten to post my Close Enough™ Webley!! https://www.dominiongeographicsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/20200711_210329-700x933.jpg https://www.dominiongeographicsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Rainy_Night_Webley006-1024x576.jpg https://www.dominiongeogra...

Looks grand! You should wear it often! The vent holes are sure interesting.

This is for those who AREN'T allowed to walk around with a gun, not for others to brag that they can. Lots of other threads for that.

Snakewhip_Sable

I'm so gonna get one when I have the dough.

Snakewhip_Sable

Of course not, but you can walk around with your PHONE in a very Indy-esque PHONE holster ! This guy isn't an Indygear member and does more real life Drake's Uncharted/Fortune repros, but this was too cool not to share. They're about sixty bucks USD and made to measure for your particular brand. htt...

I may have been their stunt double. I got a might damp when Doc Holiday had a conniption and busted a full beer bottle. I 'saved' some of the glass because it landed in my shirt pocket.

I think the Doc's a lunger!

It turns out that I'm horribly wrong about "Wynonna Earp" being PG rated fare. It's certainly above that, less sweary than an AMC show and certainly much tamer than an HBO show, but there is some naughty language in it. The worst of it is creatively censored with perfectly timed church bel...

Snakewhip_Sable

Earp is based on a cheesy comic book. I was also involved in AMC's "#### on Wheels" which was dead serious 99% of the time. I'll take what work I can get, not a lot to be choosy about in this area.

Snakewhip_Sable

The aforementioned Warehouse 13 and Defiance are solid entertainment. Warehouse 13 was fun and didn't take itself too seriously. Defiance is grittier with higher production values. If they keep Wynonna Earp in the same spirit of these two I think we're all in for a very big treat. Regards, Indiana ...

This is a million times better than Sharknado. SyFy has also been aiming a lot higher in the last year.

Snakewhip_Sable

I don't know if/when it will air in Europe.

It's a silly idea but seems to be a bit of fun so far. Not high art but it's not a gritty bloodfest like an AMC show either. Seems kinda PG at this point (not at all like the comic book it's based on).

Snakewhip_Sable

Before you get too excitable, my Wested of course was not used in any Indy movie, but you may see me wearing it in Sy-Fy's new series "Wynonna Earp". So far though, it's only been in one scene and I'm wearing an also iconic (though toned down) one sleeved black motorcycle jacket in other s...

These aren't my photos, they're of cosplayer "Momo Kurumi" depicting Jessica Rabbit as a park ranger.

Great hat, eh?

Snakewhip_Sable

Chicks dig my bullet hole scar anyway.

Snakewhip_Sable

And yes, I have my finger already on the trigger already because you have to cheat to beat her.

Snakewhip_Sable

The holster was empty in all these shots, but sometimes I put a Schofield in it.

No. that's to say it's a costume piece meant to hold a plastic toy gun.

Snakewhip_Sable

You're thinking of Seattle in the 1990s, but with a Starbux cup. The holster, btw, was a Costumebase Indy holster from that auction site. It's a fairly good one but after a few years of putting heavy replica pistols in it, the belt fastener hardware has broken. Pretty good for the cheap price and fo...

You don't need to have a flat brim on your campaign hat either, do you doughboys?

It's been a while, but I bring back news from the world: Crevo footwear has some really good Close Enough™ Indy boots at a really reasonable price. Several options with moc-toe in the list.

Snakewhip_Sable

I haven't used a Costumebase bag, but their holster and gun belt have lasted me a long time. The holster eventually failed because I was putting heavy replica guns in it and then I ran about, but the belt is still going strong. I wouldn't dismiss their stuff. Especially for the budget minded. It's p...

$25.00 Get 'em while they got 'em at Old Navy. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7215/6936558876_8dc8da3d42_z.jpg I didn't find them comfortable, so I didn't get 'em. The sole is lightweight so they'd be good for kickin' around in the summer. They might make a good stunt boot for the fan filmmakers too....

Snakewhip_Sable

The epaulets have two crossed straps across them... like an 'X'. It looks a little silly, but I still plan on getting one. It's the closest off the rack Close-Enough™ I've seen, ever.

Snakewhip_Sable

It even has the front pleats!

Some silly knots on the epaulets, but they're easily done away with.

These go for $35.00 Canadian! ...and at the moment that's the same as US dollars.

Snakewhip_Sable

Yet your hand still goes for my back pocket.

I was saving the floral ones for a special occasion.

Indy G's old sandpapered Wested. One of 'em anyway.

I've got the Costumebase headpiece and gunbelt with holster. Headpiece, not so accurate (both sides have the same writing), but still pretty dang spiffy! It's real metal and very solid/heavy. I have no complaints at all about the gunbelt/holster either. Pretty impressive and definitely the right pri...

Snakewhip_Sable

Pretty sure Indy would carry a long travel wallet inside his jacket's mickey pocket - passport and boarding passes, and all card identification all have a pocket as well as leaving your bills flat and pressed. Total convenience and no unsightly back pocket protrusions with one of those. http://farm3...

Snakewhip_Sable

I'll bet that's super comfortable!

Snakewhip_Sable

I really did wear it when I changed the cat litter. Not as hardcore as your story, but it's true.

Like this?

That's me changing the cat litter.

Mask goes in one side, filter in the other. Seek out "Village of the Darned*", you'll see one in action at the beginning of the film. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3293/3054475299_cf8b211f3d.jpg http://www.chronarchy.com/images/mark-vii/gas-mask.jpg http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/Japan/I...

I very much like my Costume Base rig. I may upgrade one day, but it works just perfect, looks good, and carries my full weight Schofield just fine.

Snakewhip_Sable

I've never even seen non-brass ones. I could sure use some of these!

Snakewhip_Sable

I generally use disposables, but once in a while, I'll dig out the antiques: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2753/4283379244_2e1c4826ca.jpg The brush is a badger hair type I swiped from my Dad about 25 years ago - and it was old when I got a hold of it. The bristles were always that length. I don't t...

Snakewhip_Sable

Nice to have options! That's the whole point of the forum.

My gunbelt & holster is from Costume Base.
