That's not big, that's the size they are. The later WW2 .38's were a smaller size as it had a less powerful round, but the .455's where a big powerful handgun.

The CO2 Webley BB and .177 is a superbly made revolver, the tolerences and build are very high quality. It's a really great replica.

Oh yeah, I did that too. Crockett and Jones boot laces. Tough things.

GrailHunter

Worn mine for a few weeks now. Bought them for costuming, and like them so much I've worn them hiking and whilst out doing field work. I was wrong about the speed lacers, they haven't worn the laces out at all.

GrailHunter

Best not, to be honest. Cheap hats and not at all Indy-like. Akubra is your best bet for a beater.

GrailHunter

Those I listed don't have the palm patch. I've bought from him myself and they are new/old stock.

GrailHunter

I've got a better option for you....

if you're going to throw more money to improve things then it may be worth considering just buying real Aldens in the first place. If anyone was to go down the replacement route, then I'd personally go for eyelets. Things like this are to be expected. You're not going to find Lobb or Crockett & ...

GrailHunter

...also the finish on them isn't that deep or hard wearing, so the first step in aging them takes no time at all. I consider that a bonus.

GrailHunter

Nice boots, fit true to size, made from decent quality leather, and above all really comfortable straight out of the box. My only gripe is the brass speed lacers. They have no structural strength and bend easily when tightening your laces. They're very sharp too, so buy many spare laces as you'll ne...

GrailHunter

Well, you can never have too many Indy jackets.

Never bothered Indy....

GrailHunter

Hmm, this'll be interesting.

GrailHunter

It is based on storage. Clearing out older pictures worked for me

GrailHunter

I think this misalignment is normal on most original WW2 bags and it's for the simple reason that the lip of the bag stretches when full and they align perfectly then. The same is true on my Magnoli bags so absolutely nothing to worry about. If they didn't have this feature, a full bag would constan...

GrailHunter

It's not enough that I have my hat nicked, you have to steal my thread too

No news, it's gone, already saving up for a new one, luckily I have my Akubras, unfortunately I sold my beaver AB - it was too big though.

GrailHunter

If they did indeed use the Australian model with the tear-drop crown, and NOT the poet. When re-blocked and bashed to the style we know and love, wouldn't this have produced a higher crown and therefore a deeper centre dent? I have seen this theory somewhere here before and it really does ring true....

GrailHunter

I know what you mean agent5, although cherishing this moment hasn't quite kicked in yet

GrailHunter

Okey dokey, Title changed, thanks for that sound advice. This is not the first time I've worn my AB to work, so many people knew it was there. Secondly, no-one in their right mind would target a CO as a joke or as a vendetta, in fact due to my personal history within the service, I am quite popular....

GrailHunter

It's definately not a joke, the locker is in two halves, the top being of mesh and used to store caps and helmets etc. This part was wrecked, and it would only have taken the same amount of force to gain entrance into the main body of the locker. My AB was targeted over everything else. Someone must...

Now it seems an uncanny coincidence that this should happen during the months of pre-production for a certain cinematic event.

Ford used to complain about the jacket and hat causing him distress throught filming in Tunisia, due to the heat. As you all must know after wearing your hats constantly in all climates, it is sooo tempting to reduce the contact our foreheads have with the sweatband. Maybe they gave in and did indee...

GrailHunter

I post things out from the UK on a daily basis that are much bigger than that. I can't believe they gave you that BS. I only sent out a parcel the same size yesterday, no problem - I'd get back to them and get an explanation. What you have been told is false.

GrailHunter

I wouldn't worry, the seams and lining will fall apart long before the leather deteriorates. Remember, loads of flight jackets from WWI still survive today in excellent condition, without the application of any product. Wear it hard and enjoy it.

GrailHunter

Pics, pics, I need pics until mine comes

GrailHunter

Remember to take lots of pics of the packaging, damage to packaging, jacket etc. Just in case.

Hope things move quickly for you.

GrailHunter

Very nice, I've been tempted to get the pd cow-hide.

GrailHunter

Nice whip, now where's my gf stashed my wallet

GrailHunter

It's the zip that causes it, adjusting the length either way will have no effect. It's the sign of a well put together jacket.

GrailHunter

Here's the best pic I could find of the hat, sorry about the grumpy thing it's sitting on.

GrailHunter

Akubras are great, I have two AB's as well so I can compare the differences. You CAN make a good Raiders hat out of the Fed, my avatar is a little dark, but you can see the lines, and I have no taper. The secret lies in the bashing, and you do slightly lose the exaggerated camel-humps. Akubras are g...

GrailHunter

I'm a big advocate of the sliders, I found the D-rings to be nothing but a constant pain, the things just would not hold the strap at all. That was on a lamb jacket BTW.

GrailHunter

Yeah, I just see a crease too. Definately not a button hole IMO.

GrailHunter

Excellent. I use a spray bottle and water to shape Akubras, I have no idea how people dry bash these things, they just spring back in to shape.

Looking forward to pics.

GrailHunter

They are excellent bags, pity our MOD can't make em' like they used to :!:

GrailHunter

You'll still want to do it, it's the nature of the bash-beast

You are quite right, I can easily get a Grail Diary in my newer Wested Raiders jackets.

Can someone post more pics of the IOAB, I have two on order and am getting 'whip envy'

Cheers.

GrailHunter

Keep me updated Erri, I'd be interested to see how this one pans out.

GrailHunter

WOW, always admired your work, and this is the icing on the cake.

GrailHunter

The dark brown is really good, I'll never go back to authentic, it looks too chocolatey. The photo actually captures the colours spot on too, more by accident than design though

Trimming the rim is much easier than you would think, most of the unevenness can be easily removed by sanding the edge with a low grit paper. Takes about 5 minutes to mark the edge (I have always used black ballpen), just make sure the marks are less than 10mm apart to make the cutting easier. The a...

GrailHunter

Looks like a good buy, congrats.

GrailHunter

With a whip that big, people will think you are trying to compensate for something

Hat goes with Wested, nuff said.
