I have a Huge interest in knives, I make all my own, and that looks good, But not indy. An indy knife would have to Be Good looking, yet functional. Powerful, yet Carriable. Maybe a 5 Inch Bowie Folder, for example.

Take a Look at the SOG Tomcat with the Cocobola handle - That is distinctively indy.

NEVER. Ever. I say Fooey to Traditional Ideas.

Dentists think?

Sure. They think about spreading Novacaine on The hat and Drilling little holes in it

Don't think like a cowboy, think like a Jedi. Patience.

What if I think like a denstist?

Ah this, I did not know! Thank you.

LOL. Yeah their Block is good. I actually feel that the PB P2 is the toughest Indy hat in the world. Maybe we should have a Competition? Fire, Mud, Dirt, Rain, snow....... See which one comes out on top

Good. It seems the Optimo has more material in the Body then the Akubra's.

here we go. Had to do a little searching But I found it. See what I mean, the Top "Roll". Checks yours to see if it has this.

It's also a Bit more Square. A nice hat.

Fedora, How's the Top of the crown? If you look at Chris_King's Optimo/Keppler Pictures, ou can see the "roll" on the top front of the Crown. I like this, does yorus have it?

This is the Link with the Pictures I'm talking about:

Thanks joe ps--if the shrinking doesn't work for you, you may want to consider giving your items to the poor, at a mission or something. Get a receipt and write it off on your taxes next Spring. Just a suggestion. I do that all the time. When My family wears out a Piece of clothing, It's patched and...

Boiling the Clothes is too severe, I don't want to shrink it down to nothing, just a size or two. I have about 300 Clothes items that my Wife has gotten me in sizes that are too large. I've got a 80% Cotton/20% Polyester sweatshirt That needs to be shrunk Two sizes. Please help guys I really need to...

Does anyone know what I should do to Shrink down cotton clothes? Thanks.

this thread should really be moved to the "other gear" section.

I think the ll bean shirt is a pretty good replica of the color, with a little dirt of course, so It shouldn't have to be dyed to get the look.

That jacket is the Best distressing Job I've seen. That is just AWESOME Pyro. I've saved the Pictures so that I can try and do the same when I get my Wested Lamb.

So Pyro,

How exactly did you do this? Did you take a Paper towel and rub on the Alcohol, and Then dab it off with more Paper towel?

I dont want to Rub away all of the Color....

Well if the Alcohol Does moves the Color then As soon as you apply it, the Color will lift.

Hmm... Does the alcohol Lift the Color of the leather, or just the oil?

Do it outside.

Did anyone notice that in the Raiders bar Seen, Indy's Colt .45 1911 looks alot like the Colt .40 1991? I'll need Screenshots to Compare it but it looks an awful lot like the .40 cal '91 model..... Smaller with the Shorter Barrel. Help me out. Thanks.

The original Pants in this thread are Perfect subsitutes for the Real thing.. Very good match.
