I have noticed this with the US Kevlar helmets. It sometimes looks quite comical; especially when they get their sweat bands cocked off center and their helmet is to large. regards, H.

hanson

Sure looks like ToD pockets and the sleeves are well on there way to the proper wrinkleage...wrinkleness...er..wrinkleability... oh well, goodnite my fellow 'mericans. regards, Hanson.

hanson

Looks like Indys in the rapids scene in TOD. regards,hanson.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g138/jgscl3/Gloves.jpg I found these Mid West style 345 smooth grain unlined pig skin gloves at Wal Mart in Cookeville TN. for $9.97. Two days ago they had several pair of Medium and Large. Mid West Quaility gloves Chillicothe, MO. 64601 www.midwestglove.com Regard...

Natural aging for me on everything. My gear is selected to last, period.Some of it is Indy gear and if that ages in an Sa way; that's outstanding. My jackets are everyday drivers depending on the weather and whatever job I'm going to. Now a little off topic; I think Indy's guns were not meant to loo...

hanson

looks grey to me. regards, hanson.

hanson

i don't know if it would be useful here but testors had a sealant or clearcoat in spray cans to keep chalk 'aging' and 'smear' marks from rubbing off models at one time. regards, hanson.

hanson

very nicely done. i'm not a big fan of artificial aging because of the"back-and-forth-up-and-down, sandpaper the seams" look most jackets wind up with. i always thought the rotla gear looked "lived in and used" or just really dirty; whereas, imho, the other films had made a notic...

Look at it, you take it, bury it in the sand for a thousand years, and perhaps even it may be worth something.........hanson lol

Here is the 1980's pre wested circa jacket size 44r. (first two pictures) http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g138/jgscl3/jimsjacket003.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g138/jgscl3/jimsjacket004.jpg And here's the Todd's $159 Size XL(third and fourth pictures) http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...

i have a pre-wested 44r that fits perfectly.i got my $159.00(delivered) todds in xl, as he advised me to get instead of the large i had originally requested,via phone, a couple of weeks ago and it also fits perfectly. i can wear off the shelf luckily i guess. my collar is a little short of the mid p...

we had some oil spill soak up stuff that was in fact fullers earth; and, i remember thinking that's the same stuff they make mud for actors so they're not exposed to bacteria present in real mud. i thought at the time it would be a cheaper way to buy it than buying the movie brands because it was ra...

hanson

i guess this also goes to show that we took a great leap forward in scientific knowledge during the forties; because, the us gov't stopped using fulminate of mercury in military primers, although this was probably more to stop corrosion than madness. what do ya think michaelson ? were they concerned...

hanson

yeah, just pinch that sucker up tight in front and twist a good turn onto it, and you got soc. regards, hanson.

hanson

i have found that jackets with all cotton linings make the sleeves wrinkle like that and also seem to help the jackets drape more like the ones in rotla. regards, hanson.

hanson

i just got back into town 2 oct. and found an email from steve giving me the good news. not only was he double checking my spec;,but, that he had also got the contract, and explained about the delays. i got my raven bashed ab yesterday and it casts the famous "hello marion" shadow on my wa...

hanson

thanks for the pics ! does it come in plain white or natural?oh,never mind,i'm going there now, i've been burning up every day this summer and have to get a straw hat and this looks perfect. thanks again,hanson.

hanson

you should probably leave it in its original condition because having it reblued will destroy the value just as it would on a real walther. but, if a magnet is attracted to strongly, it will most likely reblue. regards,hanson.

hanson

i bought some roo boots a few years ago and they were not shipping them to Ca, only at that time. last week i saw an add for chippewa or browning hunting boots and they were also not available in Ca.regards,hanson.

hanson

you must get the stiffener out to get them just right. i had trouble with my camel humps. regards,hanson.

hanson

two great looking jackets G. how deep are the g&b pleats? my wested's are 2.25"and my prewested's are 1.25", both lamb, while my cow licensed ones are .75". the wested is a 48 and the prewested is 44 and the cowhide one is about the same. i think it was a med.regards hanson.

hanson

did anyone ever find out about indy's dress shoes? i've searched old posts and this is the only one i could find. i think we discussed this before but i can't find anything. anyhow, i always thought they were something out of aldens dress shoe line.regards,hanson.

a 1917 lanyard ring is secured by a small pin driven into a hole that passes thru the frame under the grip near the grip locator pin. this pin captures the ring assembly via the groove machined around the top of the lanyard ring assembly.the lanyard ring assy. is a swivel so it turns easily. you can...

yeah, this is gonna be a rough job but somebody's gotta do it. we'll be up the mcminnville end of the river in a few hours.regards,hanson.out.

oh,the sun's up now and the wife will be home with supplies soon. it' 71.6 at 9:00 in the am. time to load the boat. last chance to catch us today lol. regards,hanson.

hanson

didn't some of the higher end safari type catalogs use to offer a 'close enough shirt' in something called 'Egyptian' cotton back in the '80's? if i remember correctly, w&g,EB,& banana republic had them and they were strong,cool, and $80+ back then.regards hanson

hey michaelson, 3 weeks of winter in finland uh, well since center hill lake is still way down below winter pool levels, i'm goining to look for arrowheads and see if i can recycle some fishing lures. pm me if you want me to pick you up in the old '72 glastron after the temperature rises above 53. r...

i think that's a he1 triple-lock with a ramped front site. regards hanson.

hanson

congrats on getting yout hat man. my wife mentioned to me that fed ex had had a couple of mishaps somewhere in the nashville viewing area but i didn't think it would affect our hats. hope i've not missed something since i've been out of town. i just skipped to the end of the thread to see what the w...

hanson

Hey Strider, a good shoe repair place should be able to do them and can probably schedule it for your convience. I once got a broken hook replaced in a mall shoe store while I waited. Also,polishing them will keep the frayed look down, and they will age again and last even longer.regards,hanson.

hanson

I'd go with Michaelson and remove the grips and blast away if you haven't already.Be sure to view the drainage for any small broken pieces that may be the culprit or part of it. The gunsmith will need any pieces of metal that were loose inside the gun. As for H&K, ironically,it is, has been owne...

That happens when things are tried to be made 'idiot proof'(not calling you an idiot J_) You can probably thank one of the govt's safety tests (like the drop test for hammers that was done by stiking the loaded weapon on the hammer so it would go off). Removing the firing pin from the hammer on Smit...

hanson

True,but do those A-O's fire the 300 grain bullet with a healthy dose of H1110? It wouldn't surprisie me if they do because the best 10mm I every owned was a stock Auto-Ordinance that never had a malfunction with any kind of ammo. We're talking about .44mag performance from a relatively light auto. ...

hanson

What auto loader can boast of reliabley putting 6 of those bolling-pin whackers downrange accurately at least 6 times, everytime? A man in threat level3a body armor would wish he'd stayed in bed.(unless 1 struck his head)regards, hanson.

hanson

Also, don't let the US Govt's correction of a caliber problem mislead you. Lots of these changes are done to save money. Some times people think cartridges are too old and change them to what everbody else uses.Which, in the case of the .45 and 9mmparabellum is somewhat true. the .45 was old and onl...

Another good thing about the Russian Nagant revolver is that it is one of the few if not only production revolvers that can be successfully suppressed. The cylinder actually cams forward to the barrel to form a 'seal' between barrel and cylnder,thus preventing hot gases (noise) from escaping,which i...

hanson

That would go perfectly with my dark blue double-breasted suit.regards,hanson.

hanson

Todd and Steve stop reading your insulting emails and start making my AB and jacket please.lol..hanson.

hanson

Don't worry Todd, they don't crucify you for making jackets anymore. Unless you're a carpenter and the jackets are made out of wood.regards,hanson.

I don't care what Robbie Benson did in 'Ode to Billy Joe', I'm not posting any of the pics where it's above 90 or so, on an 'Ode to Prairie Jones' thread.lol,hanson.

A 3M engineer named David Serino took another 3M guys design and turned it into Post-it Notes.3M owns the pattents on both items. They got nothing but their regular salaries and perhaps a bonus(attaboy). 3M owns the pattents,makes the millions. David invented the Pop-up tape dispensers that they sel...

hanson

Yeah, Strider, it already is down here in TN. Since I live on Center Hill Lake, and MY porch is screened in, I like to grill out in my fedora, Aldens,and my British army boxer-briefs. If it's not too hot like Michaelson's 105 and 106 heat index reports. In that case, I justs have the hat to fan myse...

Perhaps I misunderstood G.Gordon Liddy when he mentioned the "no brown" with blue suits, I think he was refering to formal events such as the meetings with the 'crats, and the formal travel Indy was engaged in when he was seen off at the sea plane. Anyhow, I confess, I have worn similar mi...

I do believe that Lee Keppler,_,et.al would have come up with a jacket. A very good jacket at that. I got a very close jacket in the early '80's from Schott in NY. Still have it. It doesn't have splits at the bottom of the back panel, but does have side adjustment straps, very close action pleats, a...

How long does something have to be 'in the public domain' before it can be made by anyone ie. generic drugs,or does this apply to clothing? Raiders is 25 years old and should be coming up on a statute of limitations or something. On a lighter note, I can see a sort of 'east coat vs.west coat drive b...

Good advice, sounds like something my x would say. I'll never tell them where it came from,Todd, and you don't have to put a label in on my account. I never saw one on screen anyhow. The Leather Concessionaires and Union Jack label on mine are right below the entrance to the inside pocket.regards,ha...

hanson

Sorry, couldn't resist. One of my smartest x-girlfriends is a copyright lawyer in Nashville. I would just use something with no ties to anyone. Although,I thought Mola Ram was the funniest, Lucasfilm probably owns that name. regards,hanson.

A good place to 'accidenally' start pushing.lol
