Just be glad yours isn’t .455 like mine. Even when it is around it is expensive!!!

Indiana Cromeens

Beautiful revolvers Croft!

Indiana Cromeens

Well I went and did it. Had a Bapty Conversion done to my Hand Ejector and I'm thrilled with the results!!! Special thanks to lostinperiphery for my sight!

Indiana Cromeens

I meant today in the collectors market.

Indiana Cromeens

If you had a hand ejector in its original .455 and a M1917 DA45. Both the same in terms of year of make, serial number, original finish and parts etc. Which one would be worth more?

Indiana Cromeens

This is fantastic, I’m definitely going to hit up Brian for some more info and do the same to a webley air pistol!

Indiana Cromeens

Question for any Webley original or replica owners out there. Is it possible to replace regular webley mk grips with WG birds head grips? Asking for a friend…

Thanks fellas… think I’m gonna do the Brackman method. I like the subtlety of it.

Indiana Cromeens

Anybody have a method for distressing/dying a TOD bridge scene shirt? I have an older Indy shirt that would make a great one. Thanks in advance fellas!

Indiana Cromeens

I’m leaning very much towards Peters Bros since we are both in Texas. I’d forgotten Garrison, that’s a great idea too!

Indiana Cromeens

I’m in no hurry also, I was just curious what was out there since I’ve been out of the game for a while. Hopefully John gets better and I can just send it to him for a full refurbishment. However, if I found a hatter that I liked I’d be open to getting it done with them.

Indiana Cromeens

John is out of commission, he would be my first choice since the hat in question is a Steve Delk Adventurebilt KOTCS made from the screen used run of felt. I’m holding off on a reblock until John returns. But I need to get the brim re flanged, and the hat cleaned,

Indiana Cromeens

Can anyone point me to a good hatter who could clean and reflange my Adventurebilt in the states? Thanks in advance!

Indiana Cromeens

I'm a D and I find the fit perfect. Maybe try an 11 1/2 or a twelve? What size do you wear when you can't find Orthopedic sizes?

Indiana Cromeens

Here are some pics. A comparison shot between the Sutros and my 15 year old Alden's that have been put through the ringer and resoled. A shot of the insert, the soles, and the slit in the tongue. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/ecromeens/IMG_0360_zps8rj0ibiv.jpg" onclick="window.ope...

Indiana Cromeens

So they came in, and I've been wearing them for a week. Here is my review. First off, I was amazed at how light they are. I mean super lightweight. Like a pair of sneakers. They are also very comfortable. The leather is very soft and flexible. The thickness is on par with Alden's and Wolverine 1000 ...

Indiana Cromeens

I took the plunge! They will be arriving tomorrow. I'll give a full report once I get them.

Indiana Cromeens

As anyone here seen these or own a pair? I like that they don't have the raised moc toe stitching like wolverines or red wings. I also like that they don't have that funky shape like Thursday boots. Plus they have some tread on them. From my research I found that they're San Francisco designed, but ...

Indiana Cromeens

As anybody seen these. I think they're a great close enough boot. I have a pair of Borns but in another style and they're just about the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. At $140 they're a great all around buy. http://www.bornshoes.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=10283" onclick="window.ope...

Indiana Cromeens

Large ended up being too big for me so I exchanged it for a medium. The jacket is beautiful!!! The leather is softer than a baby's behind. Gorgeous color, and ultra lightweight. It feels like virtually nothing compared to the weight of my old Wested DB lambskin. A note about sizing: I picked up Gora...

Indiana Cromeens

Well I ordered one. I'd been looking to order a new one has my ten year old wested DB lambskin crusade is falling apart (It's been through the ringer and then some). I liked the goatskin US wings but saw it too late and they're now out of my size. I love the seal brown look of this legend jacket. I ...

Indiana Cromeens

That's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!!! Taupe it is! Thanks so much!!!

Indiana Cromeens

Thanks Chewbacca Jones!

Indiana Cromeens

It's time to buy a new pair of Dress Chino's. I've never owned a pair of the taupe Chinos but I know that they're the favorite color of Gearheads here. The pair I've owned was a dark khaki. At the time taupe was not available. I really like the color on the dark khaki ones, looking at the website an...

Indiana Cromeens

Thanks Mitch!! @ Archie what do you mean by how do I profile my hats?

Indiana Cromeens

Well until I get me three more AB's, a Magnoli HJ, and a Penman or two my FedIV will do just fine haha!

Indiana Cromeens

It's been a long time since I've posted friends. I've been away for a while, but I was always looking in. Ever since I heard that Steve Delk was talking with hats direct about a new block shape for the FedIV I was excited. And after seeing so many of them on this thread and the overwhelming praise t...

Indiana Cromeens

I bet cash that this whip is a strain, I have a saddle tan that looks just like it, also the fall looks like a latigo fall, and all the whips strain supplied for Indy 4 have latigo falls

Indiana Cromeens

I got one by accident when I ordered one about a year or so ago, I reccomend against it, here is a link to a shot of the hat next to a crusade AB. I ended up sending the hat back for the full size one http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/ecromeens/newgear.jpg and here is his taller crowned poet ht...

Indiana Cromeens

I think your jacket looks perfect my friend! wear it in good health!

Indiana Cromeens

I use to have two ten foot joe strain whips. man he makes the prettiest Indy whip I've ever seen - I own a saddle tan which is my main Indy whip - it has aged to a perfect tod/LC/ Indy IV color I love it! I used to have a natural tan starin that was a perfect raiders whip that is now in Indiana Bowi...

Indiana Cromeens

I've got an 8ft. EM Indywhip, its been very good to me. Bernie's customer service is excellent as well. However, when I ordered my whip He was on a month wait. Both my Joe Strains that I've ordered came in a week. The plaiting is tighter on a strain whip, the knot is also larger. The handle of an EM...

Indiana Cromeens

The LC jacket is my favorite all the way! I love the distressing job and the fit. I know alot of members here have an extreme raiders bias to the point that they almost hate TOD/LC in almost all things gear-related. There are things that I like about all 3 incantations of Indy's gear, and in the end...

Indiana Cromeens

This is a different protocol jacket though, it is supposed to be a Fonze/bomber Jacket. Notice the sleeves, they appear to be correct to a real indy jacket, the label is different too.

Indiana Cromeens

I really like the way that looks Steve, absolutely beautiful, is that block the winner or are you going to modify it more?

Indiana Cromeens

Tone that HJ looks great, all of your hats always look good. You are a master of bashing my friend!

Indiana Cromeens

that along with the proof I just posted and GCR said
HJ + Moisture = bad

Indiana Cromeens

DO NOT let your HJ get wet under any circumstances! I have owned two of Todd's in the past few years I've enclosed pics of what will happen, It's best to keep it in a box and bring it out now and then, but the HJ is definitely a secondary hat, grab an AB or your HJ will look like this in no time. ht...

Indiana Cromeens

be very careful with your front pinch, as it can tear at the top very easilly on a HJ, I know this one from experience,Treat it like a fragile child, otherwise it won't last, get an AB, Aukbra, or a JP design then beat the #### out of that one, you will thank yourself in the long run, "Trust Me...

Indiana Cromeens

We need authentic brown and dark brown together in the same picture to fully illustrate the color difference!

Indiana Cromeens

i think we have a proverbial smofing gun here! I for one Patons jacket looks spot on. If it isn't screen accurate, it sure looks the part, and the tri-glide seems like it would hold better. I'd put these on a raiders jacket over the buckles, you get the look and less worry about your straps coming u...

Indiana Cromeens

It's usually a thick gooey form of tobacco that is usually flavored and placed on top of coals. It's quite enjoyable really, very smooth and tasty.

Indiana Cromeens

here's a better pic to illustrate the color of the saddle tan

Indiana Cromeens

Well you could also say that indy owned more than one whip, in ROTLA, belloch takes indys whip away as well as his gun, indy goes home and pulls another whip out of his closet and a new gun out of his dresser

Indiana Cromeens

the Crusade whip was a very dark whip has well, supposedly most of of the whips carried over into the other films. So I say the saddle tan makes a great ToD/LC whip, but not raiders, hence the reason why I now own both colors

Indiana Cromeens

Actuallyif you see the saddle tan in real life up close in the sun, it looks almost spot on to the screen used whips that I've seen pics of, it just photographs really dark and red, I'll try to take a pic that illustrates it's true color

Indiana Cromeens

I bought a new joe strain whip. I loved my saddle tan so much that I bought another one in natural tan. Joe's plaiting is tighter than ever, and the new whip is a full pound lighter! The knot is more bulbus than the saddle tans more cylindrica-like knot. I took some comparison pics to share with you...

Indiana Cromeens

Instead of using a zippo to deposit soot, you can burn old models or model frames they give off a very dark smoke, you don't have to get the holster as close to the flame as with a zippo, that and brown shoepolish to help darken it up. that way you don't use as many harsh chemicals on your leather

Indiana Cromeens

Wear it everywhere, I wore mine to sleep when I first got it, wore it in the rain, and wore it dry, has well has the drier method, I also try to climb a mountain once a week with my jacket on, Its been rubbed against all kinds of rough surfaces, but all the time always giving it plenty of leather dr...
