Lemme get the hat first before I getted worked over about pictures

Montresor

After careful consideration of everyone's input (thank you all for that) I had it down to either a Penman or a Fed IV Deluxe. The Fed was more in my price range but I knew what I wanted and settled on the Penman. An Adventurebilt would have been nice but it's too much for me at this point. I called ...

Montresor

Judging by what has been offered here as advice, I'm starting to lean towards either an Akubra or a Penman. Is there anyone who can say which is darker?

Montresor

I am looking for an Indy style more or less. When people mention the Akubra are they writing about the Adventurer that David Morgan sells or something else?

I've been looking at that one and the Lawson too.

Montresor

Makes sense. I guess I never thought about it.

"Stiffener?" Seriously, what is that?

Montresor

After several years of gear collecting and sharing the same fascination that many here have had since Raiders first came out on the big screen. I’ve acquired many whips (after promising myself that one would be enough,) two pairs of Alden boots, a Magnoli shirt (excellent by the way,) pants of many ...

Montresor

You could try "Whip It" by DEVO or "The Sabre Dance" a classical piece piece by Khachaturian (I didn't know who did it, I had to look it up.)

Montresor

I was going through the new Men's Health (Sept 09) and on the flip side of the "Guide to Style," on page 16 there is a pair of J Crew ankle boots that look much closer to Aldens than their regular work boot. They have the same looking sole and the lace hook sinstead of eyelets and the colo...

There was a similar conversation that was had here a while ago. Here's the link.

Third vote for Magnoli. I order a lot of custom sized shirts. It's not that I'm especially tall or broad I just notice that shirts that fit me in the shoulder are very wide in the waist and often just a bit too short in the sleeve. My magnoli shirt fits incredibly well, in fact it's the best fitting...

Montresor

Like many here I stressed about the sizing of the 405 prior to getting them. When I got measured for them (and they perfectly) they were a differrent size from any athletic shoe (which varied in size anyway) but the sizing was the same as any other shoe. For example I have three pairs of diffrent Al...

Don Adams used a whip in The Nude Bomb

Who has a list of who made the whips for these movies?

My last whip is from Bernie. A 7' 16 plait. and I really like it. Very nice to deal with.

Thanks for the replies. Russell, the only email email I could find for you was rpschultz@bigpond.com
I'll send you an email to the one you supplied here to talk about what I'm looking for.

Montresor

...or at least one of you. I'm in the market for a new whip and while I'm thinking about a nylon whip I'm also giving serious consideration to a Russell Shultz. I’ve got a Morgan, two Strains and recently one from Bernie W. I knew a guy a few years back that had a stock whip from Russell and it was ...

Montresor

Very nice. I'm going to get a nylon whip too very soon. I contacted Noreast Whips andRhett but Rhett hasn't gottenback to me yet. I was wondering about how they perform and it's good to hear some praise for them.

Montresor

Very interesting. I've seen other stuff from you on You-tube, do you have a "How to" whip cracking video to purchase?

Montresor

In the novel ROTA, I think it writes that Indy saw a circus performer when he was young and was mesmerized by the performance.

Montresor

The handles are coated but since they really do little but sit in the section of my office I call my the "I love me wall" I was wondering if the handles would soak up the pecards and discolour.

Montresor

Yeah, Zellers has a really good return policy.

Montresor

Question must be a real stumper...that or no one gives a rip.

Montresor

It seems that everyone uses pecards as the standard leather care from their whips to their dog collars. Has Peacards been known to stain wood at all? I've got a couple of knives that I have some sentimental attachment to and wonder if Pecards will soak into the wood handles and cause then to become ...

Montresor

My Aldens were not difficult to break in and are very comfortable boots to wear for long periods. I've had some very good combat boots and the usual cripplers that are issued. For me, Aldens were better than the issued ones but not as comfortable as the custom ones. I've never noticed the weight whe...

Montresor

The pumpkin orange is gone and the colour is much better than that but it is still not quite what I and I assume most are looking for (hence the many different ways to dye them.) I recently sent an email to Aldens asking if they can make them in different colours. I was told by the Alden shop that i...

Montresor

I've got fond memories of that old whip of mine. It's where I first leanred how to work one. I sold it to a friend years ago. My second whip was a very poor quaility one that never compared.

Thanks again.

Montresor

Wow, great answer. More than I expected but well worth it. I'd heard that the more plaits a whip has the more flexible it is but When I saw pictures of a whip in production and it had less plaits than the final overlay it made me go "Hmmm?" My first whip was about 25 years ago when I first...

Montresor

That's a pretty exhaustive list. Thanks for that but still nothing for Terry Jacka?

Montresor

I've got a couple of questions for someone out there. When a whip is made and it says that the whip has a two plaited belly, I'm going to assume that there are two layers of plaiting that are underneath the outside. How many strands of leather are used in each layer of the belly? I know that 12 or 1...

Montresor

I've seen the Orvis website and Magnoli's but I didn't think he did no pleats. Does anyone have pants from these guys?

Montresor

Wool button-fly pants with no pleats? Also hopefully in the "officer pink" or close enough colour with flap rear pockets. Anyone?

Montresor

When I got mine in September they weren't that dark and the creme polish I used darkened them up to a very nice redish-brown and toned down the welts and stitching.

The other day my wife said that since I wear them so much i should get another pair in a darker shade...is she great or what?

Montresor

Indyguy:

Are you going to keep the colour or dye them?

Montresor

I've seen this problem with other boots and shoes as well. All I had to do was make sure I was puttiing the shoe on properly and not being lazy about it and doing it slovenly. Works every time for me. I alway put my Aldens on properly and never have any problems.

Montresor

Any recent picture you can find is pretty accurate i.e. post pumpkin colour. If you look back into "General Gear" it's full of pictures. In fact "Scrapbook" has a topic called "Gear" with 5 pages to it. Go to the bottom of the third page, it has a picture of Bufflehead ...

How old is the Alden Indy boot anyway?

Montresor

Now that we're talking about our problems with Aldens; I've heard someone mention somewhere that their laces are not the best. I believe them. I broke a lace after having them for less than a month. And since I'm still breaking them in I haven't been tying them too tight. Anybody else have this prob...

Montresor

Mine are a few weeks old and feel fine except that they squeak (for now, until they're broken in.) They do however rub hard on my right ankle (just above the ankle bone on a tendon.) Someone mentioned to me that I should not tie the top quicklace up and it worked. They feel pretty good and no other ...

Montresor

I just got my Aldens a couple of weeks ago after a 4 1/2 month wait from the company. I love them and I don't think that I am going to change the colour. When I was ordering them I had asked about different colours and was told that they can do it but it is an extra $150.00. The colour now is darker...

I’m on the verge of ordering my second Wested. The first one was a dark brown lambskin. I ordered a 46T and should have gone with a 44T instead because it was just too big on me.

Tristan: Is there a size difference between the old boots and the new ones, because in the picture comparing the soles the new boot looks bigger?

By the way what size did you order in the new because I'm still waiting for my Aldens that I ordered back in April (or maybe even May?)
