What Oak said, too. [emoji106]

I just find other things to occupy my time. Read comics, watch runs of tv shows, exercise, etc. I'm waiting on a Doctor Who coat from Magnoli at present, so trust me, I need the distraction! [emoji28]

Thanks for the tip, Michaelson. I know better than to go against your advice by now.

Otherwise, I'd be hiding under the Plymouth!

Thanks, all! It is magic, isn't it, Duck? It's still curing now. I gave it a light buffing, but I like letting the stuff soak in on its own. I might even go over it again. :p

My advice on distressing is that less is more. Start very small and work your way up. The first jacket that I ever distressed I almost ruined. I went way overboard. No, there are no pics. It looked like a tiger had clawed the sleeves of my jacket and left claw marks. Fortunately for me a round of br...

Recently, my buddy Ben (fifthchamber) decided to distress his jacket, which made me want to restore mine. Here's some shots. Albums ahead, decent sized shots, so be warned. Mods, I apologize ahead of time if I'm doing this wrong. before: http://imgur.com/a/7qh9c" onclick="window.open(this....

Thanks! :toh:

Hey, all!

Here's a recent photo of my lid. It's 8 years old this year.

Strider

Doesn't bug me. I just smile and go on with my life.

Strider

Sweet lid!

Peters Bros. was my first "real" Indy hat, and the first I remember going: "ooh, I want that!" over. RIP Joe Sr.

Congratulations!

I started out on Minnesota Jones's 6-footer. My IOAB is an 8, but due to learning on those, I can work a 10 just fine. I agree with the 6-8 foot recommendation.

Strider

Does Adam Winrich no longer make the "Indy On A Budget" whips? Mine has lasted me close to 7 years.

Strider

Those lids look great, Chuck and 1BAT!

Strider

I own an Adventurebilt AND a Penman. Both superlative craftsmanship. You'll not be disappointed with either.

That pic makes me think of the male guitarist from Electric Mayhem.

I bought this product at a mall from a salesman years ago called Shoe MGK. I've been using it on my Red Wings ever since, but the effectiveness of the product has never been more noticeable than now. After a pipe in the front yard broke, I had to help dig a trench to isolate it and fix it so the hou...

During times like these, I like to trot out a column that I read by Miss Manners years ago about how people dress. She was addressing a woman who was constantly being chagrined for "dressing up." Miss Manners advised the woman to come back with the following as opposed to a snarky comment:...

You wear it well!

Now let's see it on your head.

NEVER trust Yelp. Yelp is a shady business with shady practices. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Some terrific looking hats there, David, Bruce, Michael!

Strider

They don't get much better than that. Congrats.

Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Donald Faison?

One of my faves! The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

I thought the hat that got sent off for the original test came from a COW member (whom I won't name)?

That second pic reminds me of the first pics of the early ABs that came in when a few here took the initial plunge. I believe it is Neolithic's hat that yours reminds me of the most. http://www.adventurebilthats.com/photos_testimonial.asp?TID=DNorth&T=1&P=2&TD=03-29-2005" onclick=&q...

Quick question, how will the leather itself hold up after multiple wraps and swings?

This is an awesome idea, btw. Great work!

Strider

You know I didn't write the article? They may have quoted me but I never said that. Oh, I know. I wasn't faulting you for the "President Kennedy" quote at all, old friend, and I know you didn't say it. :) I was banging my head against the desk because they were perpetuating the whole idea...

Strider

Blame the bareheaded JFK

-bangs head against desk-

Congrats, John! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Strider

WAY TO GO, JOHN! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Proud to be a Penman owner.

Strider

They're both excellent hats.

Lookin' awesome!

I was really self conscious the first little while that I wore a real Indy hat, which was a Peters Bros. hat I'd bought from eBay. At first, I thought EVERYONE was staring at me, and anytime I heard anyone laugh I automatically assumed it was at me because of the hat. I wore it so often that I event...

Stider I used to be right were you are at. I used to baby my lotus 7. Then one day going over a Portland bridge the carbs caught fire and I almost lost the whole car. Lucky for me we got the parts replaced and restored her to new condition. I thought after that I would never drive it much anymore. ...

Strider

I was talking with TST the other day about hats. Y'know, as I am wont to do from time to time. ;) We got down to why I don't wear my hats very often anymore. I promise I have a point here, so bear with me. Also, this is not a criticism of anyone or anything, these are just observations I made during...

Strider

Proud to own one of his whips! Good show!

Strider

Oh no! Here's hoping!

I did this to a Wested of mine years ago. It looked like it had been clawed by a tiger. I used brown shoe polish on the areas that looked most like "claw" marks, and then covered the rest in brown Pecards, and it went on to look really nice despite the disaster it started out as. I distres...

Emma Stone can wear anything and make it look good. Ben, however...he needs something taller and with a wider brim. It looks comical on him.

Why? My body type was a big factor in why I chose to wear a jacket with the costume.

Strider

Gonna throw this one out there .... I'm overweight. I wear the jacket so people won't notice. In all seriousness, the jacket makes it easier for me to hide my extra weight and not have it "pop" so much, as it were. I tend to stick with a lot of costumes that have coats that can hide that f...

I loved my Cabela's shirt. I got the blend when I had one, but I've been "Jones"-ing for a cotton one ever since. Thanks for the tip!
