Obiwampa

The only dumb question is the one you dont ask.

Obiwampa

Whats the chest size??

Obiwampa

Look, I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make anymore. Are you saying that Steves hat block is wrong ? Or are you simply trying to prove that Erri_Wans AB has tapered by 1/16"? If you are saying that the block is WRONG you just disproved your entire point by posting the pics of your...

Obiwampa

Someone call a therapist...

Quick.

Obiwampa

Wow. All of these hats look exactly the same. Now the world can sleep easy.

Obiwampa

7 3/8 is considered big-headed

Uhhh, 7 3/4. Thats big.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who liked SIMAAM.

Obiwampa

Well...I'm looking long and hard at that photo, and I stand by what I said before. If Erri_Wans hat was tipped even only 1/4 of an more forward, we wouldnt be talking about this. Those hats are nigh identical. If I showed that photo to 20 people, I bet you 19 of them would agree that they were eithe...

Obiwampa

Magnoli makes Indy shirts that are 99.9% screen accurate, and they are custom fitted for you, just like a

Wested. I'm wearing mine right now and the only thing about it I dont like are the buttons. They are too brown.

Obiwampa

"what'd the devil give ya for yer soul, Tommy?"

"Well, he taught me to play this here guitar reeeal good."

"Aww son. fer that ya traded yer everlasting soul?"

"Well I wasnt using it for nuthin!"

Obiwampa

You could strangle an elephant with that thing.

I like it.

Obiwampa

Notice how the HJ front crease bends outwards before bending slightly back (just like Indy's), whereas yours goes striaght up and then bends back further. I think they ARE the same, but what you are seeing is a bit of an illusion. Erri_Wan's hat is just not tipped quite as far forward as the photo ...

Obiwampa

I'm most likely going to follow in your footsteps though, and buy a shirt from Magnoli very soon. Good choice. You wont be dissapointed with the shirt, trust me. I've been wearing mine nonstop since it came. I want a whole closet full of these things. My goal is 7, one for each day of the week. :o ...

Obiwampa

well, thats good. I thought he was miffed at me. I waited a month and two weeks for my 1st shirt and I got a little testy twoards the end. I thought he might be ignoring me or something. I guess I'm just paranoid.

Obiwampa

Just placed my order for my 1st new hat since my Stetson years ago. I'm excited and a bit nervous, dont quite know how to explain this purchase to the 'other half'. I got the brown beaver of course, 7 3/4! I have an enormous heed ! "That boys heeds like sputnik, spherical, yet pointy in places&...

Obiwampa

Anyone else had trouble getting in touch with I.Magnoli? I've tried pm him twice I think, and one e-mail on his website and still no answer. It was nothing private so I'll just post here, I guess, in the hopes it catches his eye. I just want to know if there might be any kind of discount for buying ...

Obiwampa

ute?

Obiwampa

I'm actually thinking of getting a Wested next. I want to see what all the fuss is about.

Hmmmm...

Raiders
Authentic Lambskin
80's fit
X boxed
All cotton lining

I can dream, cant I? (Just dont tell my Expedition, she wouldnt understand)

Obiwampa

Ahh, Wested, there are more than a few people here who can advise you on how best to order a Wested, good luck, I hope it turns out well.

Obiwampa

Ready to order a Wested or Expedition? I cant speak for Wested but I'm sure you would be pleased with an Expedition. I am a 44 chest and 6'1" so that makes me a tall. My 44T fit me great when I tightened up the sidestraps. I'm beginning to wonder if I should have gone with the 42T for a closer,...

Obiwampa

I've always thought that shoes with nails in the soles were trouble waiting to happen. With as fast as I wear down normal shoes, I would be having Aldens re-soled about every 5-6 months. :? I have to walk about 7-8 miles per day all on pavement, so my shoes wear out quick. How long do Alden soles la...

Obiwampa

My next magnoli shirt: Same color. 3 inches less through the chest. 1 inch more in the sleeves. 2 inches shorter overall. 5 1/2 inch epaulettes, (right now they measure 6 1/2 inches, or 16.5 cm.) Grey buttons if possible. Dont get me wrong, I like how this one fits, but I would like my next to be a ...

I love those boots! I love the cap toe, they remind me of these, which are on my want list after an AdventureBilt...

CURAHEE!!!!!

Obiwampa

Is there an adventurous story behind your arm cast? I wish. Its just your ordinary work related stress fracture. I had a fiberglass splint on it for 3 days while I waited to see a specialist. The emergency doctor couldnt tell if I had an actual break, or some kind of tendonitis. The splint was smal...

Obiwampa

I'd really like to get out all the gear and do some more photos, but with this cast... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d199/NHarbaugh/Magnolishirt.jpg ...Its a real workout. Also my Expedition is soaking up some pecards right now. I'll try to get someone to take some better pics of me in the shirt...

Obiwampa

The color is stone, as recomended by Magnoli. This is exactly the color I would have chosen If I were making Indy shirts. In most of the pics it looks too grey, and in the last one, although it shows more of the 'khaki' shades, it is still a bit too khaki-ish. It is, in person, somewhere in between....

Obiwampa

Woke up this morning after a nice well deserved lie-in, to find a fed-ex package waiting!! By the size and weight I knew just what it was, my shirt! I've been waiting quite a spell for this sweetie. I placed my order somewhere around the 1st week of Dec or so, but this was sure worth the wait. If yo...

Obiwampa

No way you will be disappointed. No way. You might loose some friends when you refuse to take your jacket off at parties, funerals and weddings, but who needs friends when you have an Exp? She will be better to you than any woman ever could be.

Obiwampa

No offense to you Wested guys, even though I dont own one, after handling this Exp., I dont know how any other jacket could possibly compare in terms of quality, durability, and precise craftsmanship. It is simply perfect in every respect. I still have yet to find a single fault in the stitching, le...

Obiwampa

The lining is the standard poly twill as advertised on the FS website. Someday I'd like to have it replaced with a plain cotton, as I dont really trust this satiny poly stuff. It has a tendency to snag and then run like a womans stocking. Thanks all of you for all the kind words, and yes they are ra...

Obiwampa

Dark Seal Goat. Thanks for the kind words!

Obiwampa

I forgot one other thing. There were a couple of places where threads and knots looked a little loose. Heres a trick I learned while tying flys, add a tiny drop of nail polish clear coat to any knot to keep them secure indefinetly. If it works on a fly sailing through the air at 500mph, it should wo...

Obiwampa

The best representation of the color is 'Expedition35', the very last one with the DVD case. So dark its almost black in nearly every light. I dont know about sun as this is Ohio and its Jan. No sun for a few more months. But yes I'm in love with this thing. I already applied some Pecards jell to th...

Obiwampa

Its here!!! Finally!!! I've been putting off getting one of these jackets for like 4-5 years, and now I have one. I consider this my first real leather jacket. Everything up to now have been toys, and cheap imitations compared to this baby! :P My girlfriend phoned up last night saying a package had ...

Obiwampa

Has anyone ever checked to see if whips are legal? Can you just carry them around wherever you want? I'm sure it varys from state to state, just like handguns, but I wouldnt even know where to begin looking to find out for sure. I would assume that since they are so obscure and almost forgotten that...

Obiwampa

I have never had a professional fitting. Maybe I should?... I hate mens clothing stores, the employees work on commission, so they badger you to death untill you actually buy something. I went to a few different stores that sold mens sport coats, and overall, the 44L's all fit me the best. I suppose...

Obiwampa

Dont even mention that!!!! With my luck, I'll get my jacket, THEN FS will alter the patterns!

Obiwampa

I think it looks good. I think the crown height is an illusion, due to the lack of a ribbon. I want AdventureBilt

Obiwampa

I just remembered,

, a long time ago, I decided the ribbon was too light a shade of brown, so I took one of my prismacolor markers and 're-dyed' it. I think I used a dark sienna, and then a 80% gray. It came out quite nice!

Obiwampa

Can you give me an idea of what you did? It looks great and would give me some good practice and something fun to do this evening. Hmmm... Well, I got a spray bottle of water, a good photo of Indy, and just went to work. I had never done it before, but I wasnt gonna let that stop me. I just soaked ...

Obiwampa

55!!!!!!! :shock: One point twenty one jigawatts??!!!!!!!!!! :shock: I have a tape measurer right here, and jeeze...55"?? Where the heck DO they get that measurement? That must be taking into account all of the extra material that is used for the action back.........? :-k BTW, I have had those ...

Obiwampa

Obiwampa-

That's the best looking stetson re-bash I've seen.

Thanks!

I've tried to treat it as badly as I possibly can. Naughty hat! :evil:

Obiwampa

'The Sovereign' Is all it says on the band. I bought it like 6-7 years ago, I dont recall if it went by any other name.

Obiwampa

Got a new Dig. camera for X-mas, so here are some pics of my beloved Stetson that I re-bashed myself. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d199/NHarbaugh/me009.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d199/NHarbaugh/me002.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d199/NHarbaugh/me001.jpg Not bad, but I think ...

Obiwampa

Thanks, M. Hearing that they run true to size is a big load off. I would actually not mind it being longer, if that means the sleeves will be ok. Being larger means I can have it altered at a local tailor. :) You can take leather in, but you cant let it out. 8) But if I have it altered, the stitchin...

Obiwampa

Now its my turn to obsess over jacket size. When I was deciding what size to go with I measured my chest under my arms and I'm exactly 44" while exhaled. I'm 6'1" with long arms, (27"), so I went with 44T. Now, I have heard on the forum that the EXP. runs large :( I DO NOT want my jac...

Obiwampa

How does he put up with you guys and your obsessive measuring/details?

...Your putting his grandchildren through college, thats how.

Obiwampa

Dont tell me no ones heard of the White Stripes?

Obiwampa

Could it be? The dynamic duo from Detroit? Jack has a love of anything 'old-timey'. He worships old '30's bluesman like Robert Johnson and Blind Willie McTell. He makes everyone on his road crew wear a fedora. He has been seen at award shows sporting bowlers, and when I saw them perform in Detroit l...

Obiwampa

So why do they even bother having an online order form if they are just going to ignore the orders and have people call them on the phone?? I'm not sending them these e-mails for kicks. Is this what my girlfriend should expect when she orders my jacket online? I would e-mail FS with these questions,...
