Has anyone tried 3D printing an Indy gun or found good plans online? These are the best I've found on the web so far, I might give them a try on my brother's printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2921031 Interesting..... I actually just ordered this very same 3D-printed S&W from Thingverse...

Exactly

He sure didn’t have spare ammo in his S&W in the Raven Bar!

Wow—time to finally distress my latest jacket!!!!

Godspeed, Peter—wore my lambskin Raiders last night without even knowing this news—very sad today

:-k I just don't understand why this is such a big debate. BO has provided more info than he needs to. He already went out of his way to lab them, and now showing these extra pics just to try to satisfy a few. People can either take his PROFESSIONAL word for it, or not--and that's it. It's not like ...

Just my 2 cents, but if I were an Indy hatter and sourced (and labbed) original ribbon--I wouldn't disclose the source, either. It's like giving the recipe to the secret sauce! Hatting is his business--and he's quite fond of Indy feds. I could see a difference in the weave...although slightly. But, ...

Come on Whisky, just take a break from whips--don't retire from them. Everyone else has posted VALID points, and it's like the old saying, "Guns don't kill people..." We could make a whole list here based on that reasoning. --none of us would be able to access COW because others have used ...

Forget the "off the peg" sizing.
You're ordering a custom jacket!
This is a special, one-of-a-kind treasure.
Do the measuremenents. If in doubt, take the requirements to a seamstress and let them do it.
Let them know it's for a jacket. You don't want it to fit like a shirt.

Raiders, Temple, Crusade, Hanover Street, Das Boot, Memphis Belle... quite a record for the little barn in Swanley! I'm proud to own a Wested, because it's the original Indy jacket. Bravo to Mr. Botwright and his excellent crew for such an historic achievement in pop culture! Though I would place t...

Has someone posted a "tandy tutorial?" THANKS! :D Don't think so, but it's really simple. Or--might be cheaper to get a WPG strap at $12.00 For a tut, you just get your strip and punch holes first. Then dye and let dry. Attach buckle. Then, wrap ends through bag loops and attach with Chic...

LOL "soon"

You might want to make note of the date that posts are made....lol.

That was two YEARS ago......

auntsugar

Or, since you're just getting into Indy Gear--make your own strap.
This is a great first project, and was one of mine!
They're inexpensive to do, and pretty much all supplies can be bought from Tandy Leather.

auntsugar

Great work...and I agree. Stop right there--looks awesome as-is. You've done enough. Let nature do the rest.

The color came out amazing, too.

auntsugar

im wondering..do people just guess about all the sizes? all the different shapes? bash? etc?..OR is there actual written proof from the actual hat makers about all of these measurements we get? AND we know they make several hats for each movie. BUT what makes everyone think they are different? WHy ...

auntsugar

WOW!!!

Great job, guys. Love the comparison shots, too.
Been thinking of getting a ToD lid for some time....talk about arm-twisting

auntsugar

A real MK VII is dirt cheap.
CostumeBase is junk--get the real thing, bud.

To answer your question--you'd cut off the old strap and attach a new one, like we do on the MK VI.

But, just get a real MK VII. Todd got some in.
What Price Glory has them, too.

THANKS GUYS--for finding, and posting about Northwest Hats!!! I've been after a grey "traveler" for about 15 years. After reading through all of the positive reviews here and drooling over the great photos--I contacted Mike. Just can't beat $175 for a beaver felt fedora with the spects we ...

My Wested goat.
Been around the world with me in several adventures, still fits--and is my "go-to" every time.

Man--you would look out of sorts WITHOUT a fedora on!!!
Seriously!
Looks great--you were born to wear one.

auntsugar

I used to get "cowboy" comments while wearing one of my fedoras. The only places I never did were when I lived in Italy--they KNOW fedoras, when I traveled Europe (same thing) and now while retired in Texas--they KNOW cowboy hats...lol. But, yes--it used to bother me. It just seemed like t...

auntsugar

Just my two cents....
My old MK VI was khaki, but my real MK VII is a very faded OD--that looks khaki.
Side-by-side, you can tell the difference.
Seen separately--you'd think the VII was really khaki.

auntsugar

Put me on the list! I've been looking for a ToD jacket for some time.

auntsugar

Best vintage looking luggage I've ever seen!

auntsugar

I just got one of Todd's and love it. You just can't beat the price and quality. Plus, no creepy styrofoam face staring at you...LOL!

auntsugar

A nice jacket, indeed--congrats and enjoy! I see you're in Belgium. Eat some gaufres for me.

Years ago, before the COW overhaul--these were one of the first Alden's alternate boots posted. I bought a pair in 2002 when they were about $40.00 and I've been happy with them. I did add some inserts, and they've served me well while trekking across Europe. I certainly recommend them.

It's been 8 days with no pics, and snakes on the floor. There must have been an anaconda that swallowed him whole......

You just found THE best forum on the Internet. Grab a cold one, sit back, and prepare to read a bunch!

Great find--awesome price! Time to grab one and a box of RIT. I found this tonight, but it's much more expensive: http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/product/mens-woolpaca-shawl-cardigan-26013.aspx?src=T12WFSHP1#detailtabs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://d1hsxkpnft2izn...

You could always make a stand. The easiest method is to grab one of those styrofoam balls from a craft store (one of the larger ones), buy a thick dowel from your local home center (Lowes or Home Depot), and a 1/2" thick piece of lumber (cut it so the weight is distributed evenly). Cut a hole i...

auntsugar

Yep, depending on style, material and company ordered from (so, what's new? ;) ) anywhere from $4 to $10 would have bought his jacket. Still a goodly sum during the Depression, especially when folks counted themselves lucky to make a dollar or less a day, so it represented a couple weeks wages. Reg...

auntsugar

I think those are actually gussets, and not just pleats. In fact, you can even order a jacket from Wested with the gussets.
Does Peter still frequent the board? He'd know for sure what they are.

auntsugar

It's always great to find "the" jacket! Luckily, my first was a Wested. It was a bit on the small size, but I loved it. That jacket went all over Europe with me for 5 years, then to another happy Indy fan. My newest is another Wested. I just don't want to try any others......I'd feel like ...

auntsugar

Great jackets! I love it when members post pics of their gear, and especially outdoors shots utilizing sunlight. Great job!

auntsugar

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to do a nice tut and sharing! Great results.

auntsugar

Since it appears that you're going to pass on the Stetson--you may want to snag one if Todd's lids. They look great for the money, and I've heard good things.

here's a straight on. And apparently, a shaved Abe Lincoln riding his bike right into the shot. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb175/Arca_Perdida/hannover_st.jpg Mmm, looks more like Peter Cushing doing his paper round... or maybe Moff Tarkin on an old fashioned speeder bike.

Good film--saw it when it came out.
No--the Indy look wasn't based on that. The look was idealized from several old films Luke Treasure Of The Sierra Maddest and a few others.

Looks pretty good-how does it feel? That's the tell-tale sign of a great jacket.

auntsugar

I love the saddle colored whips. Is it the flash, or is the finish kind of flat?

auntsugar

Since I've been building a ton of classic BSG colonial lasers, I've found the best paint for resin kits is Rustoleum--it sticks the best.

auntsugar

I'm more a fan of the saddle-colored whips, but your LC whip has me drooling!

auntsugar

I sure wish there was a picture of the whip in that short article...

auntsugar

Almost there! The whip is functionally done, but I still want to add a brushed silver ring and ring-knots at the thong end of the handle... It's still quite stiff, and i'm not able to really wind it up and give it a few energetic cracks to help everything limber up just yet... Maybe later tonight. ...
