Guess that goes to show that if I let enough time pass my idea would be realized. :lol: One of the things I think of though, when the whole thing comes together, is that these colors don't lend themselves as well to being "beat-up" as the earth tones do. :-k But I think that's the point I ...

Zach R.

By the way, if no one has seen Chuck before I highly recommend it. It is one of my favorite shows on the air right now, and has a great vibe (though there have been one or two misses this season, get rid of Jeff and Lester already!).

Zach R.

That looks similar to the sears shirt talked about in other threads, I like it.

Doesn't seem to have seams to me, and like alot of the "military fashion" shirts, it has that little strip that goes over the top of the epaulets...I wonder where that particular feature came from?

Zach R.

Hmm...I like it. Definitely more grey than my Wested, and that's a plus. Will probably order this and the Azuma shirt at the same time

It really is a sickness

Zach R.

I had one of the US Wings in Antique lamb...the look was good but I didn't quite like how heavy it was compared to other lambskins (of my Wested or other lambskin jackets I have handled). But, I can't wait to see how this project turns out.

Zach R.

Thanks

I could only find them in sears Canada and they won't ship to the US.

For those in the Great White North, if they were interested:

My grey-scale indy idea comes at least partway there

Zach R.

I love my Fed three, it is just "unindy" enough (if you get my meaning) to combine the best aspects of the regular stock of akubras (wide brims) and an indy fedora (stylishness).

Zach R.

What kind of shirts are the grey ones? They seem pretty substantial fabric-wise.

I should show you guys my closet, nothing but black shirts (of all types) and blue jeans lol

Zach R.

The color almost reminds me of the Wrangler khakis I stumbled upon at Wal-Mart...there have been some threads on them in the past. They're okay, but I use them for my "distressed" wear. When I wear khakis, they are usuallly Blackhawk tactical pants (mostly because I get a huge discount on ...

Zach R.

I don't see it.

Zach R.

I can't pin down exactly what aspect it is about the Fed, but this is the quintessential SOC hat in my eyes...kudos to Jason.

Zach R.

"Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore."

Sorry

Zach R.

Perfect! Combines everything I like about the Blundstones and the red-wings, thanks for the recommendation.

Unfortunately, there are so many models it's hard to choose

Zach R.

I'm still leaning heavily towards the Blundies, though, I think they'd be a nice change of pace.

Zach R.

Do they weather well? Despite (or in spite of) the fact that they don't make them anymore, they're almost exactly what I want

Zach R.

Man those are nice and dark...I've had mine for going on three years now, but I've been babying them for much of it until late last year.

Were they the "usual" reddish color when you got them?

Zach R.

Is that the Dark Driftwood color?

Zach R.

I was wondering if anyone had any pairs or preferences with models that they would like to share? To me, they are more versatile than traditional lace up boots, and could serve well alongside my trusty Aldens for knock-around boots as well as nights out on the town. I've been looking at Blundstone's...

Zach R.

Not sure if I've worn my AB with shorts/sandals yet, but I did just the other day wear it with a t-shirt, jeans, safari jacket, and my fivefingers KSO Treks . Not sure if I would again, but who looks at a person's shoes anyway? Excelsior! Riothamus I had the exact same outfit yesterday, except my s...

Zach R.

Would you say the size-chart on their web-site is, then, the actual measurements of the shirt itself rather than the suggested size you should order based on body-measurements?

Zach R.

I had to change my address too, but it took a while for the email to go through and I had to send it a few times.

Zach R.

I ordered mine in April of '08, and I'm sure it'll pick up once Nov and Dec of '07 have been shipped out and people will be surprised at how quick they come.

Zach R.

I ended up buying a suit from Magnoli instead (that unfortunately doesn't fit me any longer since I've lost a significant amount of weight).

Zach R.

I know this is an old topic, but did anyone ever actually do a full grey-scale Indy?

Zach R.

I'd be wary of ordering too much from sportsman's guide, they are a sharply polarized hit or miss company IMO.

Zach R.

Whew, after having a bit of trouble with the ordering system (I'm pretty sure I placed two orders) I finally got mine in.

I followed up an email giving them my actual measurements, so hopefully the fit comes out good.

OMG, you're right! That BLOWS!

Yep, I didn't get my order in.

Zach R.

my guess would be the same brown...However, I remember reading somewhere that the jacket is limited to only 60, is this true?.. I think I remember reading somewhere where Peter was saying something about sourcing more hardware, so I don't think it's as limited as 60, but don't take my word on it. :-k

Zach R.

Oh, btw, does anyone know what color the nylon lining is? Is it the same brown they use in the cotton?

Zach R.

I hope it isn't too limited, but I should get my order in by tomorrow. I only wish they offered a Darker Brown Washed Goat.

I'm adding an inch or so to my tad short raiders/lc hybrid I bought in 2005, should be a perfect (if not sa) length for me.

I love leather jackets, though I sometimes get chastised for wearing a dead animal. Leather Jackets, in my experience, still have that stigma of not only being faux-pas, but bad fashion (see the A2 craze of the 80s).

Oh well, I don't care, they're still awesome.

Zach R.

Finally got around to tackling the redye job on Todd's shirt and I seem to have hit a snag. I put two packets of color remover in hot water in a bucket and submerged the shirt. It turned the shirt pink like its supposed to at first, however it didn't do much else after that. It's soaking as we spea...

Zach R.

Any opinions on the Justin Standard Ropers that run about 100 bucks?

Zach R.

Well, this is a hobby where if suddenly 300 dollars disappears from your bank account you aren't worried as long as in a few weeks there is a new leather jacket waiting on your doorstep.

Zach R.

I've never seen that ZipLight things before! :o -Alfonso I don't think they lasted long at retail, and although I own one I can see why they didn't catch on: most people with a lighter use it to light things on fire. :lol: And, if one were in the need to see things in the dark, a standard D-battery...

Zach R.

1017?

Zach R.

I emailed Alden and they sent me a pair for free? They just asked me for my address.

Zach R.

A similar belt was my first "screen-accurate" item for a loonnng time.

Hopefully that's not some sort of morbid omen.

Zach R.

For me, it's obviously not a costume, so I just wear it like any other jacket...on colder days, however, I switch over to a peacoat.

Zach R.

You guys are going to feel bad about making fun of Christian Slater when one of the members here finally comes out and reveals their identity as being none other than Slater himself...come to think of it, maybe HE is the celebrity Steve made an AB for too. :lol: Zach R...are you ...NPH...!?!?!?!? :...

You won't get a comment to the contrary from me.

Zach R.

Well, this is completely out of date...Magnoli implemented this sometime mid-last year, someone was just resurrecting the dead.

Zach R.

From what I understand it's just a dark cordovan leather.

Zach R.

It's just a little blurb about how it was in the new movie and modeled after a british gasmask bag, it is also approx 27x25x8 cm. I don't know the MKVIIs dimensions off hand, but the proportions look correct....but for that price I think you could get an original.

Besides, if a guy with a jump rope whip explains that he can't crack it one too many times, he might start to thinkin'... Then, there goes his life savings. :lol: I haven't spent my life savings, but one thing I can say is that before I was a gearhead, I sure had alot more money in the ol' bank acc...

Zach R.

Well, the consensus is also that you don't want your toes scrunched either.

But, I think the point was that if you're judging your right sized based solely on how close your toe is to the end of the shoe you are only getting half of the equation right.
