Also let me ask this. Are there activities that you do not use your Alden's for? Like camping or landscaping? Or do you just adventurise them with anything you do? What I have found in expensive purchases like my Wested jacket I have had for over 10 years is I baby them and choose not to wear them i...

Shawn

I MAY be getting a new pair of Alden's direct from the San Francisco shop where I am an hour away. So the question I have if I choose that route is do I go for the 403 or 405? 405 is the true model but lighter color 403 seems to be a closer color, but I have heard a mix of reviews on how it ages and...

I have read posts of those who send Steve an e-mail and they get a reply same or next day. And then I have heard of those like you who haven't even received a response. Here's what I did. Ordered 6/30/07. Emailed Steve a week after with the speifics I wanted (bash/film type) Waited until it came to ...

Looks what jumped out of a box onto my head today. http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/7374/img4936oh5.jpg And it is 9:45pm here in Santa Rosa CA and 85 degrees with no A/C in my apartment. And a full day of work and then working out = the glaze in the eyes. I just have to hope I can keep the bills at ...

I wish there was a better showing from that gent. My wife looked at me with a "is this one of your fanatic online people" look. Looks like he just wanted to get the hat on TV.

Shawn - AB Raiders Bash - 6/30/07

Paitently waiting. Have a spare for premiere but not cancelling my order cause I want an AB, especially at the earlier price!

Shawn

I got the budget gunbelt 1st then a month later the deluxe.

Both are good looking belts, but the deluxe has the lasting quality. When I got mine it was a bit stiff and rough on the back. This is because it is tooling leather, so to soften it up I put some Pecards on it. Now it feels great!

Shawn

Yea, Kevin ran out of stock, but a few months ago I inquired and he did let me know he found a few more. I got mine 2 mos ago. It inn't a W&G but it is the exact color like in Raiders and per fect condition. Give him a few days to a week to get back to you. He's really great to work with.

Shawn

Personally, I have found that a non MKVII bag didn't satisfy me. Magnoli has his repros as does Todd's and WPG. They have decent looking repros and sometimes WPG lists originals on that major auction site. Myself, I got 2 bags from Endicott's and each time cost me about $50, my most recent one about...

I distressed my FBI 38 from Shorty http://www.shortyusa.com/airsoft.html?http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=720&UID=1159380373 and I have adapted one of he wood grips I recently got to fit. The problem though is the airsoft does not have a full handle. (The plastic grips formed aroun...

Shawn

Here is a shot of the budget and deluxe belts: The deluxe is on the right. Also a big difference is on the budget you can unsnap the belt to remove the buckle without damaging the belt itself. The deluxe is riveted together. http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i603540_IMG1429.JPG [/url] [/img] http:...

Shawn

it's mostly the back raw side that is rough. If you get it new and try to bend it it seems to splinter a bit. Or at least mine did before I treated it.

Shawn

Mine was the same. The tooling leather is dry and Todd mentioned he didn't want to treat it otherwise it could lead to staining pants. I appreciated that. I just used a small bit of Pecard's on both sides and let it soak 3 days and rubbed it all out. It helped the belt get some "give" in t...

Shawn

Personally since I just got an IOAB from you a week ago and have never cracked a whip before getting it (yep, I have been able to crack yours! so cool!) I think it will be cool to get tips and techniques from the one who made my whip.

Keep us posted on it if it becomes an actual project!

Shawn

After taking time to figure out which whip to get I decided that since I never cracked a whip, but want the look of Raiders, I went for an IOAB (Indy On A Budget for those who may not know) From Adam Winrich @ http://www.winrichwhips.com/ I got the IOAB 8ft and let me say I was really surprised with...

Shawn

oh man! It was really good to see that. I have an order for an IOAB with him and to see his skills and know he's at the convention and spent time with you and then i'll get my whip will be a little extra to the whole story. I think it's great how all here at COW are working together even when they o...

Shawn

I agre with above. Good work. If I had the time and the skill I would try a hand at sewing a few shirts together.

Shawn

Keep the jacket, trim yourself to fit. A jacket like that is inspiration enough to let some of those treats go. Otherwse you can keep ordering new gear and after months of wait time can find yourself doing the same on your next jacket. It is the pants too and the shirt then the belt for screen accur...

Shawn

customizable?

Pleats or no?
Button Fly or no?

This is sounding better and better. I personally like the flap in the darker pair on your subsequent post.

Shawn

Hmm I might be in for one of those.

The color seems to be quite varied by the light. And the pants with the different scallop looks like an even darker brown. Is it the same color?

Shawn

I'm thinking cotton is good too. With a work wardrobe of slacks and suits it gets costly to always send things to the cleaners. That's why i've moved to purchasing washable slacks now. They are invaiably cheaper too. So if after being washed many times they get too worn out looking I can purchase a ...

Shawn

I ordered mine last week and hearing all the constant good reviews makes it easier for my explaining the purchase to my wife!

Shawn

Well I was pretty confident in the Shorty site and the comments here bolstered that thought. I ordered mine last night and we'll see what happens when it comes in. That much closer to a full close enough set-up!

Shawn

I have gone over many threads and have come down to a few choices. First off I only want the gun to fill the holster and give the belt the droop that the weight of a gun would. I don't want to spend much so of course the cheaper the better, but then there is too cheap to really enjoy. I have the rou...

Shawn

I concur on that. I just got another one from Endicott's and washed it in a sink at work to get the musty smell out and noticed it took a few minutes for the canvas to get the saturated dark wet color. It is almost as if it is soaked in water repellent. I filled the bag with water and got tired of w...

Shawn

One week from order and I have my 2nd MKVII!!!!!!

Awesome bag and price. Kevin is great.

Pic to come.

Shawn

First I want to say that Peter, I have had a lambskin non-distressed lambskin since '99. At the time I bought mega store quality clothing and it had taken me a year to decide to buy the jacket which was about $300? Anyway, in hindsight I got a GREAT DEAL!!! I am looking at my wardrobe and the only t...

Shawn

Just a little update, I came home and checked my email and realized that Kevin had emailed already! About 4 hours after placing the order! I can't wait to get the bag even though I already have one. I'm glad I ordered a spare! Awesome guy to work with Kevin is! (Just a note, I have heard from some t...

Shawn

I am a sucker. I had put it off when I first saw this post, and then it kept getting updated. Then the pictures started rolling in. I asked and Michaelson answered and yet I caved under my own pressure and ordered one just now. Of course I now have to get another strap. Well, it looks like my "...

Shawn

Quick question for you guys. I already have a MKVII in great usable condition. Check out the pics here: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=16793 As you can see though, I wrote my name in the flap but there are no distingushable marks other than an arrow (from posts i've learned this is an a...

Shawn

Looks great. Though I already have a bag, you are looking to be my one stop shop for my other pending gear purchases!

Shawn

The diary page is the first page of the printable diary from Indyquest. I am trying to figure out if I want to dedicate my time and resources for a mediocre diary or if I should jus tset up the cash for a Magnoli.

Shawn

Alright, here's another testimont to all of your guys wealth of knowledge. My not remembering where my Fedora came from bugged me all night and this morning I spent some time and Viola! I have the Miller hat style #036

Shawn

Sweet. I post before bed and I wake up with replies! Thanks for accepting me, and thanks for the links. When I go through the forum I always forget what post I was looking at that had a link say to Todds, so I appreciate your help again Ken. Sorry about the pic size, I thought that was for "gra...

So finally I decided to join and get all of your help directly on my continuing to build on my gear. So first off here are some pics. To give you a general ...
