I like the distressed finish. It goes along with my persona!

Taupe is darker and tends to run more of a greyish brown and shades there of.

Prof. Ed

I need some of those to teach in

Prof. Ed

Very nice holder. It certainly beats mine, which is any place that I can hang stuff

I found the boots to be comfortable. Very heavy to the point that they bothered my back some.
I took a size that I never wear in regular shoes, so beware of the sizing contrast.

Bink, I got both colors, they are great comfortable shirts. Mine even came with a hole for my Neck :lol: Cheers, John John, I found out that the hole for the neck comes in handy :shock: Well, how did you find the fit? Big enough for a 44" chest and 38" waist? The others thought that they ...

Welcome to C.O.W. What a great 1st post, I have already ordered a shirt. With posts like this you will be a valued member here.

John,

You'll have to let us know if it is tapered. I need to wear a fuller cut at my age

I use the Letaps all the time. It is wonderful stuff.

Hi all, I own a few good fountain pens. I make sure and clean them every 90 days and try my best not to let others write with them. Over time a nib will form to your hand. It becomes personal. I find my writing improves tremendouly when using a fountain pen. The act is much more deliberate. They do ...

What do you folks wear for a summer hat?
Last year I wore a Tilley. I thought I might try a felt this year, but don't know the protocol. I was told it was straw after Easter?

I'm looking forward to your replies.

Best regards,

I have to agree with M. A size 10.5 D Alden pair weighs in at a hefty 4.6 pounds

Well, I managed to switch to the US version and evidentally you can't shop on-line over the pond through them yet. There is however a list on in which cities you can find them in case you want me to do a screen grab of that. (St. Louis was not included I'm sorry to say.) I also managed to get a gli...

All I can say is that I've tried to view this site till my back is hurting more than usual.

Welcome to the club, Deneveon! I personally think that women look good in brimmed hats, provided it's not worn with contemporary clothing. You sort of have to have 'the look' to make it work. Canyon, Indiana Texas-Girl, or some of our other female members could probably answer your brim question be...

We have flash, java, and javascript activated and nada! As I said, my wife's computer worked once and then would not us look through the site? I like the idea that the H&M shirt has the front pleats. I have many of the other style shirts, but could use some front pleat ones at this good price, f...

Prof. Ed

Still not working. Is it possible to send an English link with the shirt that is being discussed?
Java and Javascript are all on and checking out. We don't get it.

Thanks,

With Internet Explorer: Tools --> Internet Options --> Security --> Custom level --> Scripting --> Enable all three With Firefox: Tools --> Settings --> Content (or something like that, 3rd one from the left) --> Enable Javascript I don't have three. My wife got her computer to work, but only once?...

Prof. Ed

I can't find Javascript to see if it is enabled or not

Prof. Ed

I've downloaded Java again. Deleted the old one. Still won't work?

Prof. Ed

We have Java, but the site doesn't work for me.

Prof. Ed

Thanks, John. I'll have Judy check it out

They are a plastic tap that fits on the heel. You place them where the heel would wear. They are quiet, thus "hush."
They are avialable under a number of names.

Prof. Ed

Enjoy. It really is important to be measured professionally. These shoes run so differently. My physical therapist said that the weight of the shoes (4.6 lbs for a 10 1/2 D) might have aggrevated my back condition, but certainly did not cause it. It seems my back problems started about the same time...

My wife calls my "gear" a costume. I feel funny, if you will, wearing too many items from my gear at one time. Of course, I don't wear the gun belt and all the goodies. I wear the jacket and Aldens, plus one of my adventure shirts (lately, photojournalist types) often. No comments. Put on ...

Prof. Ed

I have to say that My Aldens have taken six weeks to feel good and I've had to remove my orthodic.
Now, if I don't wear them, I feel funny. Also, with other shoes on, my feet look much smaller.

I recently obtained Artsee's replica. It is very nice for the ROTLA fans and fits the Todd's $20 holster perfectly. I have the Airsoft 38 spring pistol. It fits the vintage holster and Sam Browne belt that I have for sale, perfectly, too. If you are interested in the above, let me know with a PM. Re...

Couldn't you just soak the shirt in bleach and it would turn white? It's a nice looking shirt but the price is a little on the high side for one shirt. Why don't they offer these shirts in stone or white? It's kind of frustrating when you find the right shirt but it's the wrong color. I wonder if t...

That is the one.

I inherited my Fed .Deluxe from a friend. It is my only GOOD fedora. As a starter hat, it probably can't be beat. I like it and according to the folks in the know around here, I did a fine job of bashing and the size seems to fit my face.
So, I'll 4th. the posts above.

Good luck,

Hi G,

Thanks for the link. It looks like these parts are for a swivel handle whip only. Some of these whip experts will probably have a whole bunch of ideas.

Hi all, A friend of mine sent me a couple of older whips for the grandbabies to play with. I noticed that they are in need of crackers and falls. If I'm using the correct terms? Where can I purchase these or as far a crackers go, can you make your own? It might be interesting to my eldest grandchild...

Those of you search wizards, please let me know what you find.

Jerry, Thanks for the advice. As I have said before, I'm a big time KLUTZ. When I try and "crack" this IOAB I will be wearing body and eye protection. Old guys have enough hurt without adding to it :wink: Adam made a fine whip and I'm sure his advice to you about leather protection is corr...
