A fedora prop from ToD is being auctioned at Propstore next month. Sounds like it might be a stuntman prop (it was owned by stuntman Dean Ferrandini) -- but it might have been one of the hero props (it apparently has traces of makeup on front-side of interior band). Still expected to fetch $500,000 ...

Nice find, PTT.

Thanks Indy Magnoli & Indiana Jeff!
A wind trolley sounds like the ticket!!!

I've found in my case it's the amount of stiffener that's been applied to the felt that gives the hat the 'lift' the wind needs to pull it off my head. If the felt gives, it doesn't go anywhere, so when I have my hats worked on, I request less stiffener in the brim, and I haven't lost a hat since, ...

Spooky

Could just be me... when I grow my hair out, my hat gets stupid. It will "fit" fairly tight..... but if a gust of wind touches it, it's gone. As soon as my hair is cut, it's tight as it can be and so far no wind can take it. I've experienced this with my Fed IV and a stetson that I own. b...

Spooky

I've been wondering if anyone else has experienced this (and maybe has thought of a solution): I've stopped wearing my Fedora on major trips/voyages out of concern it would get blown off by the wind and lost. This almost happened on a trip to Alaska (and where I was -- it would have been impossible ...

Nice gear and GREAT location

Howdy All, Been a century since I've posted anything. Just picked up a Promaster Adventure 35 Camera Bag (10.25"W x 7.69"H x 5.5D) for $80. Don't remember how to post my own pics ( #-o) so here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Promaster-Adventure-35-Camera-Bag/dp/B005S0DVX0" onclick=&...

Just found these vintage style hiking boots . They're called "Danner Mountain Lights" and were recognized in the 2011 "Gear of the Year" list. They look nice but are really pricey at $330 retail. I've seen Danner boots referenced from time to time here on COW. They seem to get po...

Hey Spooky, Glad that you enjoyed your trip. Make sure that you post some pics of your jacket, I would like to see it. Next time you are in the area, bring ol' Fortune and Glory with you and your new jacket. I would like to check out that new jacket in person. I don't think that I have ever seen th...

Lucky you! I hope to travel to the UK someday when the economy makes it more affordable.........yeah right :roll: .......anyways, good choice on the CS Novapelle......I absolutely love mine!.....it's my #1 jacket for the moment until my washed goat shows up , and we'll see...... That's good to hear...

Spooky

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Britain was visiting Peter at his store in Swanley and purchasing my very first Wested (CS, Novapelle). :D I've had my G&B Goat for years, but always wanted to own a Wested. I hadn't even seriously considered Novapelle until I felt the material in perso...

Sounds nice, Ron. :D 8) Looking forward to seeing some pics. Steve did an absolutely fantastic job of getting the proper fit. From my previous hat purchases, I have narrowed down my hat size, ...

Thanks K.P.

Hey VP,
Nice to see you again.
How is everything going?

Spooky

Looks like a nice finish, K.P.

Do you have any comparison pics of the #207 with a badge?

P.S.> BTW, my black lighter is just fantastic.
Metal is definitely the way to go.

Keep up the great work, Dude.

Spooky

Thanks Jens.
Yeah - I am interested in Indy's travel sites (and hoping someday I travel to each of these places also

).
Also, I am really going for the vintage look.

Thanks for the website - I found it a couple of weeks ago along with others during my search.

Best Regards,

Spooky

I just won the these vintage luggage stickers on Ebay.

I plan to place some of these on my vintage Gladstone bag.
I'm still on the lookout for luggage stickers from additional countries
(Peru, Egypt, India, ... well, you get the picture.

).

Best Regards,

Spooky

skywlkrinc,

I already ordered a bottle of At-Tack for myself, however, could you find out the brand name of the product you described?
It might be helpful to other members (especially, since Veriad charges an extra $5 for orders under $25

:evil:

).

Best Regards,

Spooky

Randy, Whoa, can't wait to see some pics! Congrats on the AB (that's the same bash I ordered - I have since rebashed it to LC) and the Magnoli collection ... You will have a very impressive Indy prop display. What a great day. Did you take pics of you and Tone? Hey, wait a minute ... :-k Did I read ...

Spooky

Thanks for the pic, Zeus.
Your hat looks good on you.
Have a great trip.

P.S.> That hat is gray! ... sorry Mods, couldn't resist.

Best Regards,

Spooky

West Virginia Jones,
Congratulations!
I'm sure you will really enjoy your new whip.
Don't forget eye protection.

Rick,
My best wishes for your Mom.
Also, nice to hear about your brother's visit.

Thanks Fedora! That's very generous of you ... looking forward to seeing it. By the way, did you hear I sat on mine? Hehe - pretty funny 'cause my Dad saw me do it & commented, "Look out! ... What are you doing?" :lol: :lol: 8) Then he watched in amazement as it morphed back into shape...

Welcome Back, Jaydoc1. I've got a Gibson & Barnes (formerly FS) Goat. However, I plan to order a Wested for Christmas. It's hard to beat having a jacket made by the man who made the originals for Harrison Ford. As far as hats, I know I'm not alone when I say that IMHO AB is the best value and qu...

Spooky

Michaelson,
Great advice as always!

I looked up At-Tack, the company formerly known as UAL is now calledVeriad.
I'll order some this week.

Guess this is all systems go for vintage labels on my Gladstone.

Thanks!

Spooky

I have been toying with the idea of placing vintage stickers on my Gladstone bag (e.g. vintage hotel stickers from Venice, Shanghai, Peru, etc.). Fellow Gearheads: What are your thoughts on removing stickers from leather? Before I start placing stickers on my bag, I'd like to know if there is a reli...

Great looking AB, Slowdevil. :D It's nice that you were able to reshape it to your liking. I like the big swoop and very pronounced camel humps. Congratulations! P.S.> Bink: Just click and drag the URL & paste it into address line. The pics are connected so you only have to do this once.

That is a fine looking whip.

Bernie is a great whipmaker.
Please re-post pics when it gets a little darker!
Whipcracking is a fun and relaxing hobby (except when you occasionally whack yourself

)

Have fun (and wear eye protection!),

Spooky

PrettyBigGuy, Great looking Aldens! Did you use Brown Pecards on them? That's what I use on mine and they have a similar burgundy color now. I also notice you kept the outer threads white (so did I). How much did your re-treads cost? Looks terrific - now go muss them up a bit. :wink: :D Best Regards,

Spooky

Congrats West Virginia. :D The overhead took me the longest. (besides the underhand crack that is ... still don't have that one down). The overhead used to be my loudest crack - but now the forward crack (for some reason unknown to me) is now the reigning (decibel) champ. :wink: Best Regards,

Spooky

Great pics, Prairie.
Fedoras really do give a suit/jacket a classic look.

P.S. Looks like you're father-in-law is really enjoying his Akubra.
