The break. Definitely.

DeWayne

I still have all my M.B.A. gear as well. I cherish it now. 2 shirts (one Raiders, unworn. One ToD/LC), 2 pants (one Raiders, one ToD/LC, unfinished and unworn), a Raiders gunbelt and holster, a Mk VII bag with strap.

I don't blame you for wanting to preserve your belt. I'll never let my stuff go.

DeWayne

Interesting to see them all together like that. I have multiple Todd' shirts. I also like the looks of the WPG shirt. My favorite are still the M.B.A. shirts I have. The material feels very unique. It's very, very thin and soft. Also, when they get wet they have the unmistakable look that Indy's shi...

DeWayne

Aren't they beautiful...

DeWayne

Good to see you Michaelson. I hope you are well.

DeWayne

Lee Keppler (RIP) is going to come up a lot.

I'd bet money that he is wearing an Indy shirt in the pic above. I don't really see anything that doesn't match up. I know the resolution isn't great, but I feel it's enough.

DeWayne

I've always wondered about this.

DeWayne

I'm so glad I have my NH shirts still. One of which, I don't think I've ever even worn. It's still in its' M.B.A. bag. I've been having a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000's as well. I think the internet was a fun place back then. Good to see a familiar name.

DeWayne

I have to say, I've shed a few tears now over this news. I became aware of Wested and Peter in 1998, just a few months after my little brother died. The hobby became something to lose myself in, while I was out of my mind with grief. Peter helped me through that, and he never even knew it. In those ...

DeWayne

I too have a lump in my throat as I just saw this on Instagram. I have 5 Wested jackets (1998-2000). I never had the pleasure of talking to him on the phone, but my Mom did when ordering me a jacket as a gift. She happens to be sitting next to me now. All I had to do is say his name and she immediat...

DeWayne

Fantastic. Thanks for those. It's funny how much it looks like he is wearing a jacket from Todds earlier run and prooves how close Todd was able to get with his former creation. It's too bad he stopped making them. I am glad I have one. I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad I stocked up on those ...

Regards from an endangered gentleman: baddates1

It's a Western Stage Props, that I've had since 1999. It's a 12', possibly made by Joe Strain. It's aged well I think.

DeWayne

Searching the item number can help. It's 40649-0X58.

DeWayne

Spotted this as well. He's wearing them any time the boys are in their work clothes.

DeWayne

DeWayne, That Colt is real nice, especially the case coloring. So it is one of the new ones. I would love to get an antique one but the prices are way out of my league. The EMF looks like mine except yours has checkered grips. Haven't seen that before. Theanks for sharing the pics! http://www.giftw...

DeWayne

Well now you have a SA Indy handgun! You're lucky to have a real Colt SAA. Is it an antique or one of their new ones? I would love to see some pics! http://www.giftworldminimall.com/sig.gif It's kind of an odd story. I bought it brand new in January, after having to wait for months. Upon calling Co...

DeWayne

I have a Pietta (EMF Great Western II) clone as well as a real Colt SAA. I would get rid of all my other firearms before letting go of the Colt. As said earlier, some of the clones can be made into very, very nice guns. Wasn't aware until now that an SAA had ever made it into any of the Indy movies.

DeWayne

Not a lot to add that hasn't been said already, but that is a great looking LC jacket! Enjoy it.

DeWayne

I've lost count of mine. Got to be on the the order of twenty something. I'll tell you what. My other chronic illness is three decades of type 1 diabetes, the "IJD" is A LOT more fun than that. $\:D/$

DeWayne

In fairness to Baron, most hatters have raised their prices in the past year. Optimo did, Art Fawcett did, etc. That is a pretty incredible increase though.....check out Knudsen's replica for $300: http://knudsenhats.com/Hatdept/310toyuma.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

DeWayne

So far as I've been able to gather, they actually did make Crowe's hat for "3:10 To Yuma", which is a costume I've been interested in doing for a little while now. Less than a year ago, the "Western weight" hat was around $780, which I thought was laughable. Now.... it's just hil...

Somewhat easy to do, specially if the recoil spring was weaker.

This is what I was thinking. Even on my new Hi-Power, this is pretty easy to do.

DeWayne

Well, they're just very photogenic.

Looked at that thread, all the deactivation talk made me sad.

DeWayne

Wow. "The Vault" makes me feel old, old.... Anyway, with the exception of the barrel and site, it sounds like the Wuhan revolver was very close to my "Royal Hong Kong Police" S&W .38 Special seen here; http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=46994" onclick="...

DeWayne

I'm sure it'll look great by the time you're done with it. Feel free to post some pics if you would like to.

DeWayne

Well with the right combination of laws, I'm sure it's illegal to breathe in certain places. Especially here in Cali....

DeWayne

I wanted to find out a bit more about it. Apparently it's a Denix. Looks to be a video review of the same model here on YouTube; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOpgr5dgbqI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

DeWayne

Stumbled upon this while looking for some cowboy gear for another costume I'm doing. I don't think I've seen this replica before.

Great avatar pic!

Thanks Michael. I'm usually around here somewhere....

I need to post some updated gear pics.

DeWayne

Got mine yesterday. I haven't worn them much yet, but plan on starting today. As others have said, they are quite stiff and th leather wrinkles a little weird (I've now treated them with Lexol to help with this). I do have to say, I like the color a lot. Edit; Following this link may have free shipp...

DeWayne

I have more Todd's jackets than I care to admit. I'd love to add a version of each to my collection.

DeWayne

Had a chance encounter with Kwad earlier tonight at Disneyland. We were both wearin' our Todd's (I have more than I care to admit....) It was nice to met a fellow gearhead and I must say his Bantu Wind is an excellent looking jacket!

DeWayne

I've got some Coyle's jackets that are reddish, while some Coyle's are brownish.

DeWayne

I'm still quite partial to the S&W. Love that pistol! It's why I picked my "RHKP" .38 Special as a "close-enough".

DeWayne

Not that I even need to chime in, but I'll add to the consensus, I'm joing "The Pockets are too #### High!" party!

DeWayne

The jacket that is the subject of this thread, was sold as a "Original Pattern Striated Lambskin "Legend" Jacket"? But it is different than the other ones that are coming because it was custom-made for Sarge? It doesn't look like the jacket Weston is wearing (the yoke looks quite...

DeWayne

Fantastic looking LC on a worthy display. Well done.

(If you guys want to see a sad excuse for an LC you should see my 1999 Wested "LC"....)

DeWayne

SARGE, count me amongst the very saddened and disappointed. I also cannot afford the US made version, but I thought going on the list months ago secured our place for the jacket we signed up for (in my case IMPORT). I've emailed you several times, and have several more times had email exchanges wit...

DeWayne

I've posted this before, but it seems appropriate to show it again. It's one of the "Californian" horsehide jackets as well. It was my Grandpa's and he got it in '49. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e252/Pantheragem/SSC_2293.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e252/Pantheragem/SSC_2296...

DeWayne

You wear the gear well. As far as the jacket, well, as far as the "Raiders" look goes there is no jacket that does it as well as Todd's. None.

DeWayne

I remember the first pics of it well. Looks awesome.

DeWayne

I've got two of these.... One that I wore a lot, and one that's still like new. Obviously I really like them.

I think of them as a nice mix of ToD/LC. They are very well put together. It looks great on you, enjoy it!

DeWayne

Thanks Rex. I live in an area where there's more horses than people, so most here don't have any kind of problem with it. Outside of here though, I get a kick out of the expressions on my fellow Californians' faces when it comes up that I'm a gun owner. Might as well tell them I've married my sister...

DeWayne

Thank you Dragonlady.

I've only taken it to the range twice now, but I'm getting used to it and it's a great pistol! Looking forward to taking it shooting a lot more!

DeWayne

For my first pistol, I wanted a well-used (though not abused) S&W revolver, seen here; http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=46994 For my Hi Power, after a lot of consideration I decided to get brand new, so all of it's history could be my own. Not exactly like Indy's, but for me, clos...

DeWayne

Wow! Thank you guys for all the kind words! Texan Scott, I got this at a local dealer about ten minutes from my house, "Wild Bill's Old West Trading Co." They're in Elk Grove, CA and have been for a long time. Great selection there. Very nice people and it turns out the current owner actua...

DeWayne

That's a really nice looking Hi-Power! There's a shop very close to me which has one very similar on consignment. This makes me want it even more.

DeWayne

I just picked this up a few days ago. It's my first gun. It's actually a "Royal Hong Kong Police" model .38. Not an Indy gun really, but for me it's a close-enough for now pistol. Besides, I think it's got character and a rather interesting history of it's own. Thanks for looking. :TOH: ht...

My friend was skimming through this movie looking for the Levar Burton scenes (She's a TNG fan) on NetFlix streaming last night and Diane Keaton's character uses a Mark VII with the original webbing strap for a purse. You can even see the original waist-tie string stuffed in the pouch. Just thought ...
