Hi guys, Long time no post. I finally got around to buying a pair of aldens. they are extremely comfortable. However, I am having what seems to be an issue with premature wear on the leather in the area where the shoe laces are tied, specifically at the sides. Sorry about picture quality: http://far...

Hi guys, I'm about to buy some of this: http://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1834945&cp=1855607.1835416&parentPage=family to put on my grail diary to look after it and I'm wondering if this is still the best stuff as I haven't been around in awhile due to my degree (last...

there is a review of magnoli's shirt knocking about here somewhere. I don't have one of his so I cant comment. you can always email wested for more details on their sizes. I have had one for a year and it is just right for me (luck more than anything). It has also worn very well.

Vannevar

without wearing it? some people use mattresses to break in their baseball mitts and stuff like that. Is there a hat equivilent? I just got a new AB beaver and am looking for tips.

Vannevar

anybody know if http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/reenactors/index.htm
if their stuff is usable or display only?

It lists the water bottle as a "2 pint water bottle". I don't know if that is accurate but it sounds about right.

thanks!

Vannevar

and how much does M1910 Canteen Mug hold? I cant find any specs around the net and would like to know which is larger. Can an M1910 clip onto a belt?

The loads of praise for the Adventurebilt hat by Fedora (Steve) seems to warrant a listing in the Indygear site. How often does that site get updated information? Does anyone else have the Herbert Johnson Poet hat? I've ordered one and it's due by the end of the month. Should I have invested in an ...

Vannevar

Your looking good, sir! thanks for the photos and your review.

Vannevar

thank you for the research.

Vannevar

I have an HJ and an AB (well technically, its with steve for a resize cause I ordered it too small) and it is far superior to the HJ. take it from me, a guy who bought an HJ first. I shoulda done more research and gotten an AB.

Vannevar

at what point is that picture from? I'll try for a dvd screengrab if you like.

Vannevar

sweet deal dude!

I post things out from the UK on a daily basis that are much bigger than that. I can't believe they gave you that BS. I only sent out a parcel the same size yesterday, no problem - I'd get back to them and get an explanation. What you have been told is false. I agree it is BS. They also refused to ...

Vannevar

Oh right. I thought they were different. Why couldnt they just give the parcel to them then ?

Vannevar

Hey guys, I was in the process of sending my hat out to the USA on monday and today royal mail sent it back. They said it was too big to be sent overseas. Yeah, thats what I thought. I probably thought it a lot worse. So, not only have 18 dollars been wasted but also a week. Same box Fedora sent it ...

Vannevar

Hey hey hey, it's the big AB everybody's been talkin about. My bash came from donovan's apartment/boarding the plane in LC. Now, I just have to figure out what bash to get my next one. I'll have some pictures of it on my head a bit later. Thank you Steve!!!!! http://www.blacktemplar.net/mastercrafte...

looking swell. good photos too.

Mr. Morgan has not updated his Akubra information in his catalog for literally years and years. They have a limited number of offerings, as Akubra is quite conservative as to whom they allow sell their hats. HatsDirect is located in Australia, and is the worlds largest supplier of Akubra hats, so t...

Vannevar

interesting. motor gear applied to a boot. Anybody have a chemical engineering degree or some ideas as to how much better/worse this mod would hold up? thanks mollet44, very interesting.

Kind regards,

I impatiently await the marshall! you're the best magnoli.

Vannevar

May I reccomend you also sell the eye of ra cufflinks? it would be a lot nicer to be able to order a complete setup from one page.

cheers

Vannevar

did i miss something? beaver or rabbit or nutria or what?

Vannevar

dude, think about it, you never want a hat that is too small. order the size up, it will shrink in time anyway.

Vannevar

1 beaver on the way.

While we were there Gerry and Peter both told us about the visitors they've had from abroad, including some very dedicated fans from abroad that went straight to the shop upon arriving in the UK - they didn't even check into their hotel first! If you find yourself in the UK, do make the effort to v...

Vannevar

DO NOT order a size too small. it is too small. always go for the slightly larger size. it will avoid migraines and the hat will fit you perfectly given a bit of time and you can always use a few strips.

Vannevar

the wested shirt is very very good. you wont be dissapointed by its quality. It seems you do not know your measurements.

Very good. I've appreciated that AB's are made from the best ingredients and that you spend so much time on each hat.

Vannevar

Has anyone dealt with John Helmer Haberdasher Inc ? I found their website by accident and am excited that there might be a place for me to go and try on a pair of Aldens before making the plunge. I know that the price is higher than the Alden Shop, but I can still find out if they fit and then orde...

Don't panic yet. My mom bought some stuff from a person in England. It took a few months for the items to show up. In fact, both my mom and the seller thought they were lost, then one day the showed up. So don't panic just yet. :wink: That's what i wanted to hear :lol: Thanks, i wont panic! I just ...

:-k :-k :-k mmh german eh? :-k :-k i guess it has something to deal with the gloves i saw in the link. So what's up with them? Are they screen accurate? I thought indy gloves were yellow or something. or grey. I cant quite understand the site. how much is it in real money? aka pounds sterling??

Vannevar

Yeah, I really really like the zip. bit of rain and thief protection.

Ah, right. I wasnt too clear which option had been chosen. Cheers.

Dude, that is a sweet bag. Nice that its waterproof, can you give us more data on the bag itself? Product number or anything? It reminds me of the "Raider" bag. At least in shape. nice find.

Vannevar

Link might not be entirely safe for work. No nudity but the site has a reputation of posting most paparazzi shots. id rate it on a similar level as looking at the sun (uk tabloid) online.

65 inches, thought to be. But depending on your height, you may want a longer one.

Hey! I have a suggestion for another non-indy indy bag. Before I went to China on my Fulbright this summer, I bought a shoulder bag at Target made by Eddie Bauer. I bought because it was slightly larger than an MK7 and had a zipper over the main compartment. It can hold a legal pad, toilet paper (a...
