Don't know much about the technology, but this seems like an intriguing idea. I wonder if the amount of material needed to create a solid block would be a problem, though. Would this be more or less cost-effective than creating a block from a mold? In 3D printing, you don't really create large soli...

I couldn't seem to find any other topics on this, but I was wondering if anyone has attempted to create 3D printed hat blocks. Would they work with felt, Panama, etc? It seems like it would be a really good idea if they worked as you could shape and size them super easy in the software, giving a rea...

If you're okay to have an air pistol in Canada then these replica MKVI Webley's have just come on sale recently - full metal construction and seem to be very well priced in the US as they're over $300 in the UK http://www.airgundepot.com/webley-mkvi-revolver.html Great price, but unfortunately Airs...

I would try http://www.hessenantique.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They have tons of replicas and they all come with orange tips. Not sure if that satisfies the legal requirements of Canada as I know nothing about the law there. But good luck and buyer beware. Those...

Hello Everyone, I have a really awesome Raiders holster being made my MakeItJones, and so I am looking to get a replica gun to fit in it. I would be fine with either a full replica (resin) or a replica handle that would give the appearance of a gun in the holster. Being that I am in Canada, I am not...

Thanks for your advice and thoughts everyone. I think I am going to go with the more SA hand tooled, dyed leather for the raiders stuff, and a little darker "Crusade" belt.

I think they're going to look awesome.

Hello Everyone, I am considering purchasing the following Indy items from "MakeitJones" Whip Holders Style: Raiders 2 - Wall Hangers 2 - Double Wrap Holders (6 & 8 Foot Whip) Holster Style: Raiders 1 - 4 Inch Barrel Holster Bag Strap Style: Raiders 1 - Streets of Cairo (Standard with D...

Well....

Rain. The surplus booth is here, but she only brought half the stuff. Unfortunately the half she brought only included the 1980's versions of the rucksack.

I'll take a look on Sunday. I'm not sure what they're charging, or what quality they are. All I know is that the last ones I saw were virtually unused, and not the 80's version. For anyone really, really wanting one....feel free to PM me your number/email and I can text/email you photos when I'm the...

Not sure I would recommend consuming either of those from that market....you might reenact Temple of Doom after drinking the blood.

Hey, So, this is my last week in Berlin before I return to Canada. Every Sunday there is a market/swap meet thing that happens right where I love. A whole ago I was checking it out and noticed a few rucksacks (I see a lot of Germans wearing the 80's version), but I didn't pick them up because I alre...

There are many on this website that can give a much, much more in-depth explanation than I can, but... The basic idea is that felt fedoras originally come in a cone shape. When you "block" a fedora, you shape it on a form of some kind often called a block. The problem is that over time and...

I'll definitely be sending out a few emails. I appreciate the help.

Hello Everyone, Some of you may have noticed that I have been trying to get my Adventurebilt reblocked for over three years. I have tried contacting Marc and Steve, but never received a reply.

Hello Everyone, It's been a while. I hope everyone is doing great. I recently arrived in Berlin to visit my girlfriend, only to find out that after hearing about my passion for all things Indy, took it upon herself to sign up for a whip forum and convince someone to lend her two whips to practice.

Marc's screen name here is Marc. Stefan is a member here and works for Marc. I'd recommend PMing either one of them, though I think Stefan checks more frequently.

Hello Everyone, It's adventure time again! This time I am heading over to Germany for three months, and as always the Adventurebilt fedora is coming with me.

Wear it in the rain, but why wash it? Check some Craft stores, Tandy leather shops etc and you may find some red/burgundy leather to make pulls from. Ahhh RC....good call. There is a Tandy Leather in Calgary I'll check out tomorrow. As for washing it. I think people figure it should have the "...

crazylegsmurphy

The Wested one I have does have the red lining. I would like to find some really nice subtle burgundy pulls to replace the black one. I really wish the buttons were hidden on the collar as well because I think that adds a nice difference. Everyone keeps telling me to wash it though....I dunno. It's ...

crazylegsmurphy

Nah, for me adding "Mutt" is a little far. I love wearing Indy Gear, but I'm not the type to wear the Hat, jacket, and bag all at the same time with Khaki pants. :) I'm not even sure I want to put the pins on for the simple reason that I don't want to push the jacket anymore over the top t...

crazylegsmurphy

I'm not sure.... I have been thinking about it, but I can't decide whether I want to put the money into that, or something from Magnoli. I really need something a little more "Fall weather". I would like to try the pins, but I don't want to wreck it if they look bad. I have been thinking a...

crazylegsmurphy

Oh..

Should I put the pins on the Mutt jacket you think...or should I just put them up on Ebay for you guys? I really wish there was a non-destructive way to pin them on.

crazylegsmurphy

Thanks for all the comments and complements guys! My personal thoughts are that I wish the Mutt Jacket had the hidden snaps. I might also see if it's possible to replace the shinny silver ones, with some more subdued ones. The Indy Jacket is a tad tight yes. I'm really hoping that last 15 pounds wil...

Hey Everyone, I'm back in Canada and finally got a second to take some photos. Here is the story. Recently I have lost 40 pounds. The goal is to lose another 15 which should actually put me in the "in shape" category instead of the "heart attack from doing up my shoes" category t...

crazylegsmurphy

Now THAT I'd like to see! If it were me, I'd personally get that over the Mutt jacket! ;) Made for the Fifth Element? As in, a leftover production jacket? Or based on the designs of a jacket made for the movie? If it was the former, I don't know how you could have walked away from that one! #-o ;) ...

crazylegsmurphy

It's not on the website... Peter called it a "retro jacket" that he was pretty sure was made for the movie 5th Element. It was a black leather jacket with some cool stitching on the shoulders. It just fit really well and was only £80. If I could, I would have gone back today to get it, but...

crazylegsmurphy

CLM, I forgot to say before you go to Wested.... Make sure you have a fixed budget.... and stick to it! :) Glad I'm not the only one to buy 3 jackets in one go! The budget was £400...the space in the suitcase is the problem. I have to wear one to make everything fit. I chucked out almost all my clo...

crazylegsmurphy

Hey All, Yesterday I went to Wested to purchase an Indy jacket and ended up walking out of there with three. :) I was going to get a custom one made, but Peter had a "Quality Control" jacket that I really liked and decided to go with that. I also picked up a "Mutt" jacket, and an...

Ok, back from hiking. 40 pounds lighter, and ready for a Wested!

I am heading in tomorrow (Wednesday, 7th) so I need to spend today finalizing what I am wanting.

If anyone has any last minute advice, I would appreciate it!

crazylegsmurphy

Ok, I'm still working out my final set of specs...

I have another question though. I am considering getting an off-the-rack jacket as well while I'm there. What would you all recommend as the best choice?

crazylegsmurphy

Ahhh, 10 pages later and now I must comment. Holt, please release your specs. I know you keep saying that the jacket is made for your body, that the specs are really strange, and that you don't want anyone to be disappointed if they copy the specs.....but I have to give you a story. As many of you m...

Yup, it is....and it's hot.....:S I'm up watching old Anime films that I never knew about for some reason. Let me know when you know. I'm curious to see how your jacket turns out since I'll be going in to Wested myself in a month. Gemma told me 14 working days, so I hope she was right because I sure...

crazylegsmurphy

Crazylegs, do I understand you're not speaking from any experience of having bought a custom jacket from Wested? Maybe you need to be like a few of us "critical of Wested" people, and have actually been in the position of having spent hundreds of dollars for something we didn't get in ord...

The OP only asked for advice, he didn't ask for people's experience with Wested, on that you are correct. Then again the OP did not say he did not want such information. Maybe he will chime in and others won't have to speculate about what information he does not want Well, I read the OP's post and ...

crazylegsmurphy

I hope that you have a great experience with Wested. Unfortunately, if you're overseas, you don't know your not happy with the product until you've already payed for it. I hope so as well, but doesn't Wested have a good return policy? I guess the question I would ask is...would you pay $700 for a W...

What does it reveal? Saying, "He sent me two free jackets" could be misconstrued. I assumed he was talking about Indy jackets. Sending a customer less valuable items isn't a new thing. I have gotten a few freebies from computer companies. The difference is that TN charges almost $400 more...

I don't think you'd get many to agree to a 'fixed' list of specs from Wested for an entire year, but the idea is interesting for those who want to buy a 'SA' jacket from Wested.

crazylegsmurphy

I remember that post now...it had a lot of fanfare over the collar. I figured I would look at the specs and see what stood out for me. I love the pocket size on that jacket.

If you have a sec, would you mind posting the specs?

Correctly proportioned pockets with deeper flap and scalloping (Take a pic). Do you have any links to photos? Current customs seem to be taking a shorter time, if you can allow 3 weeks you should be able to pick it up before you leave. (And better try it on first! for any tweaks). Gemma emailed me ...
