Hi Peeps, New to the forum. I thought I'd share some information. I spoke (emailed) to Swaine Adeney (Herbert Johnson) about a month ago, asking asking about their fedoras. They stated that in 6 months time they were creating a new block for their Fedoras to match those of the Indy films. They advi...

Oops, I've got the bug. Bought a second goat Raiders hero, one inch longer for the winter and now I want a ToD and LC/CS hehe. Will add pictures later.

Harrison_Davies

Peter quoted £50 GBP to me last week, for those interested in a Wested repair. That would exclude shipping both ways.

Harrison

Harrison_Davies

Response from Wested is:

We do not make jackets with 22.5" sleeve length, the jacket has also already been cut. If you want the sleeve length changed we can do this after the jacket is made BUT the jacket is COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE once this has been done.

FYI

Harrison

Harrison_Davies

Cool, anything up to the first knuckle of your thumb I guess is acceptable in length. I hope you have many happy years with your jacket. Don't forget to post pics.

Harrison

Harrison_Davies

Congratulations on your purchase Leigh. Disappointing that they can't accomodate your arm length, however.

I've ordered a second with 22.5" inch sleeves, so I guess I won't get that change.

If only I could fit into it. I've grown some four inches in the chest since then.

I've donated it to the mother in law.

Harrison_Davies

congrats on a great looking jacket - those side straps look a bit long, is that length of strap standard on the hero ? that dark goat looks a good choice for the raiders jacket colour. :TOH: I believe the length of the strap is standard. I thought it was authentic brown goat. It is considerably dar...

My Wested Raiders Goat Hero arrived today. 23" sleeve (My arm is actually 24" to first knuckle of thumb), 24" back (My back is actually 25"), 44" chest. Cut run's approx. one inch long, hence shortened sleeve and back. Amazing cut and feel. The leather almost looks black in ...

Harrison_Davies

So long friend. Thanks for being a gentleman and a scholar. You will be missed.

Harrison_Davies

Thats a Raiders bash alright.

The angled pinch gives it away - A CS doesnt have a pronounced angle like that.

If you're refering to the creaes themselves they can be quite different depending on the size of hat I believe.But may also have relaxed a little.

Did you specify a specific bash?

Harrison_Davies

Thanks everyone for your comments and pics...it's good to see it may not be odd after all

Harrison_Davies

At this rate I'll have to buy a second AB for dress lol...break out the gray guys. I is comin'

Harrison_Davies

Indeed what a hat..I actually liked the 50's straight front pinch.

I think it says 50's. A nice touch.

Harrison_Davies

Thanks for the comments...I've actually had it 2 years I think lol.

Harrison_Davies

If anyone can help that would be great if not then I may have to consider a reblock, an unturn and a trim from Marc.

Harrison_Davies

Hi,

Yes the hat is turned. I think I'm a 58"

I'm just wondering if this technique is do-able right now. It may end in my either leaving it or sending to Marc.

But I'd still like to know.

Harrison_Davies

Guys n Gals, Here is a scan of my AB and a pic of it on my head, as you can see it is too wide for my head. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/harrison_davies/File0022.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/harrison_davies/_MG_5951.jpg Can someone take the scan and draw a line where I need to ...

Harrison_Davies

I think I spotted the fabled too short hat twice. Once on the plane and once in Akator.

They just looked a little out of place, but otherwise wonderful bash. Quite a deal different to a raiders.

I also swear I saw the ribbon way forward of his ear in one scene.

Harrison_Davies

The answer is yes you...on the coolest temperature you can. There will be a slight shrinkage...it's your choice.

I did it all the time.

Harrison_Davies

What you are missing is I'm using Brown Pecards NOT clear, clear will not alter the color.

Harrison_Davies

I have a darker brownish/red color now on my Aldens. Hard to get used to, but match Raiders idol temple I think.

Harrison_Davies

Seems as if the oily residue has subsided. And yes you are right about the brown hue.

Harrison_Davies

There is a slight oily residue, unless I'm doing something wrong.

I think I need to buff it a little more. I'm expecting this to soak in or wear of in a short amount of time.

Harrison_Davies

Hi, I thought I'd do a before and after shot of my Wested after one coating of Pecard Brown Leather Dressing. Before: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/harrison_davies/_MG_1553.jpg After: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/harrison_davies/_MG_1565.jpg Before: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums...

1 AB

1 Official LucasFilm Indiana Jones Baseball cap with brass logo.

1 Head of hair (it's a kind of hat)

Harrison_Davies

My AB has developed a flat bit of felt at the front of the hat under the ribbon, like it's been pushed back...

Here's an image to show kind of what it's like if that helps...

Any help will be appreciated.

Really? Is Pecards that good? Should the brown I orded fix some of the distressing?

Anyone have a before and after Brown Pecard shot?

Harrison_Davies

I've just ordered 4 x 4oz Brown Pecard Leather Dressing direct from Eric at Pecard. With shipping to the UK = $44.00. 2lb parcel that's not bad.

It may be a better solution for you rather than a reseller.

Wow mine looks great compared to that distressing, I feel much better now that I didn't overdo it. Not saying you did, that's what you were aiming for. But I always felt I overdid it.

Harrison_Davies

My AB

Harrison_Davies

I'll probably wear my AB, Wested, Shirt and Aldens and either jeans or black trousers, just to show I'm a fan, but not detract from the real hero.

I pretty much wear the shirt and Aldens every day anyway so not much of an addition.

Harrison_Davies

My Aldens have this cut, it's part of the process to bend the leather. It has never been a problem for me and has never let water in or anything like that. Don't be too concerned.

Harrison_Davies

Mine sits on a shelf, but the brim overlaps the edge.

Harrison_Davies

What else is there to say other than I hold a piece of history, and the two most modest guys deserve this. Thanks.

All raise your glasses to Steve & Marc!

Harrison_Davies

Indy has moved from the British way of fastening his gunbelt (the leading edge to the left ala Raiders) to the opposite way.

Nice looking hat....and what a location.

Harrison_Davies

Personally, I think you need some of that brim cut off Harrison. On the sides. It is a bit too much to be accurate, on your facial shape. Yeah, my fault probably, if you left the brim specs up to me. These brims are funny things. The hardest part to get right for the various facial shapes. I still ...

Hi not sure what you mean by interesting brim choice...I must be the only gearhead who hates the turn because it upsets the brim.

I overdid it a tad.

Harrison_Davies

Hi thanks for that,
I will give it a go.

I'm expecting 2 more softboxes and umbrella unit - all flash based rather than constant on. I will use the constant on units to light the background I think.

Harrison_Davies

Hi VP,

Canon EOS 350D
Sigma EF 50-500mm Zoom Lens.

White Background (Which annoyingly always comes out gray)
2 X Photosel Softboxes with 5500k 500w Lights

Just practicing with the new kit.

Due to get some umbrellas and a Canon EOS 40D soon.

Harrison_Davies

Move along, nothing to see here...only an AB! Sorry just a new shot is all.
