Hi Bruce, i much appreciate the kind reply - i knew deep down that was the way to go; having too short of sleeves would just be a pain :lol: I'll hope the shirt shrinks a bit, as i hope to wear it Indy style (no t-shirts beneath). In addition i appreciate the congrats in regard to the jacket = i'll ...

Hi All, Wow what a day :D Christmas came a bit early here in N.M. = my Wested Indy Shirt arrived, in the same group of packages which my new AeroLeather B-6 Flight Jacket :!: http://www.wested.com/indyjacket/indyshirt/newshirtfront.jpg http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL806/142228/2220641/26821369.jpg...

Eastman's leather conditioner and cleaner ? http://hpassociates.chubbsdog.com/images/liqleathlarge.gif in their catalog they also offer something called "Hide Food" - another conditioner i'd imagine :D . I also agree w/ Tony about contacting Real McCoy and getting their recommendation. You...

Hi Bink (is what i should address you as ? ) Here are five quick photos to show what condition the SoF MkVII arrived in - i actually am waiting to have my washer fixed (d*mn thing) tomorrow, so it worked i couldn't get this thing into the wash :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/billyschorr...

but doing so will have to wait till tomorrow morning = hope that will be o.k. ?

Happy Holidays and Best Regards from N.M.

HI all, i thought i'd take a moment and post my experience w/ SoF - buying a MK VII Gas Mask bag. The price of 20 GBPs isn't cheap, but to get the "real deal" is, imho, well worth it. In addition the shipping was *very* fast - less than a full week. The bag is quite dirty, but otherwise in...

distress the gloves in hurry !! I much appreciate all the kind replies ...

Happy Holidays and Best Regards from N.M.

flight jackets may i suggest trying to find a copy of Imai's "Suit Up - the Flight Jackt" ?! The book has over 360 fantastic pages of photos - obviously unless you're able to read Japanese the text is little help :D but the pages of photos for reference are wonderful. In addition most page...

Hi Hemingway Jones the shoe polish idea is perfect - i don't want to really beat the heck out of the gloves (or use some chemical to lessen the strength) but simply want to have them LOOK like they've been around the block :D I really appreciate the advice = i'll give it a go and try to post some ph...

wear and tear into them quick enough

Happy Holidays from N.M.

Hi fellas,

i'll take your advice to heart and start wearin' them everyday Thankfully winter has arrived and i won't get looks from my wife and others as i run about w/ gloves on ...LOL.

Thanks, again, and Happy Holidays from N.M.

Hi all, i recently made a post (my very first here) about an online source for Wells Lamont gloves = the WL 1130. Mine just arrived and i've found these have the re-inforced palm :cry: This isn't a huge deal for me, and i'll likely just keep these, but for many / most who are searching for screen ac...

just ordered the shirt in a Med. = i've sent along an additional message about my measurements and should Wested feel the small (or any other size) be a better fit to please contact me (as i'm sure i'll agree - they know their shirts :wink: ). I really appreciate your advice and reply. Happy Holiday...

Hi all, sorry to have so many questions, but i'm getting ready to purchase the Wested Indy Shirt and was hoping for a bit of advice in regard as to which size to go with. I just went through some measurement - i'm 6'2" 172lbs. 37 chest = slim i know (all those years spent as a runner / swimmer ...

That is one terrific collection, and the display is simply awesome. Congratulations on the three Pistols :D If i may ask, where did you find the Angel (sitting atop your display) from the Ark ? I would have never thought this figure would really be such a great piece w/ out the entire piece - many T...

read WEAK dollar

Happy Holidays,

Billy

really amazing jackets. In fact they were my first pick when looking for a B-6 Repro Flight jacket - the fact that the U.S. Dollar is so week really made that an impossible option. I did find a terrific jacket w/ Aero Leather - Your new jacket is simply stunning, Congrats again - hope you enjoy it f...

Hi all, many thanks for the warm welcome(s) - i'll certainly be sticking around - and thanks to the vastly more experienced, looking out for booby traps :shock: :wink: In addition i much appreciate the opinions and advice concerning the Wested shirt = i'll likely be ordering in the next week or two ...

Hi all, this is my first time posting here; i've only recently discovered this terrific forum and hope i'll be able to contribute, at least, in a small (but positive :wink: ) way. I've always been a big fan of Indy buy since finding and reading many pages of posts here, and links, i'm quite obsessed...
