I was certainly order at ;east one size up, I ordered a Large last time (usually take a large) however and it was far to tight. Ordered an XL this time around and its perfect.

geordie jones

I would say yes go ahead and buy it. For less than £10 its a steal. The rust stains could probably come out mine did when I gave it a wash. The snaps could be buffed up abit using a little brasso or you could replace them. I was able to pick up some similar type at a leather dealership.

geordie jones

Ive just received my wested (authentic lambskin), Peters craftmanship and that of his staff I believe is second to non (this is my second jacket). I cant conceive that a jacket (FS) a more or less off the peg jobby is made better and fit better than a tailor made jacket to your specs made by the ori...

geordie jones

I know that this is an old subject but I am currently looking at purchasing a tweed jacket for that TOD look. However does anybody know if it was a herringbone pattern tweed that was used.

geordie jones

Khaki would be nice, I could go for Khaki with maybe a leather collar.

geordie jones

Well done, excellent find. enjoy

geordie jones

If he has got them in stock, probably within about 3-4 days, maybe a little less depending on european post.

geordie jones

I know from experience when purchasing stuff from the states and from australia, that if you get the exporter to write on GIFT you do not pay any import tax. The only time I have had to Pay tax was on my Aldens as I forgot to ask the guys at aldens to add gift to the documentation. Everybody else I ...

geordie jones

Wow, congrats on a fantastic HJ fedora, I have a little question. How is the reverse crown taper achieved at the rear of the crown.

geordie jones

That display is just amazing, I am totally taken aback and toatlly jealous. Magnificent.

geordie jones

I was in the process of getting a S&W HE2 but it fell through, I have got a webley MK IV though. Nice replica , had me fooled.

geordie jones

Nice find, Its always good to have a bit of history within your collection. Is that a MKVI webley I see.

geordie jones

With general wear the aldens will become a little darker due to heat and sweat. Applying the cream will only darken the leather only temporary, I have tried this and noticed that the surface that has taken the cream does come off after time. I believe the only way of permantly changing the color is ...

geordie jones

Deep down, my heart says that this is the correct coloring once it has been worn,washed and bleached by a little sun, but my head says different. I dont know If I would be breaking any patent or copyright, but I am in the process of asking a very good taylor in England to see if he can make a couple...

geordie jones

Ken, when you are stood up I would say that if you are going to get the trousers tapered the back of the taper should be just above the heel. However, since these are IndyGear you need a little baggyness so I would say about an inch to inch and a half on top of the length you normally wear say a pai...

geordie jones

Because indy is an adventure character, like all heroes he's got is own look. Even though fashions did change in the 50's, I think is character is to strong to follow those cosmetic changes.

I think we will see him in exactly the same old gear. There is an old saying, if its not broke - dont fix it.

geordie jones

Yeah , Ill be wearing mine. I got the brick red. Mine seem to be getting a little darke with wear and the application of the leather presrve I use on my jacket from time to time.

geordie jones

So I take it your going to wear them down London?

geordie jones

It was charged by the courier, but they are instructed to collect it on behalf of customs and excise. They will not release the goods until it is paid.

Good old british import duty.

geordie jones

For myself sizing worked out the same as any UK size. I know that some people say order a half or full size smaller, but I ordered the same as I would do In the UK and they fit like no other boot or shoe I have ever worn. So comfortable its unbelievable. When you get them you will be knocked out bec...

geordie jones

Ken, I'm surprised they have not got to you they are normally pretty good or they were when I ordered mine.
Try emailing allen white his email address is allen@aldenshop.com he usually answers within a day or so.

Hope you have better luck with this.

geordie jones

Cute, very cute.

geordie jones

I believe you can take them back as long as you are on a carpet when you try them on and do not mark the soles of the boots.
I ordered a pair in the summer and that is one question I asked as they were to send to the UK.

There nice guys at Aldens.

Hope this helps.

geordie jones

If nobody ha dsaid anything, I would have taken it for a pair of aldens. I've seem some attempts at copying the likes of training shoes etc, but nothing this exceptional.

Nice find

geordie jones

I might just have to take the plunge when I visit London with MK and all the other UK gearheads. My wife will do her nut.

geordie jones

Well put, and I wholly agree.

geordie jones

If the criminal wants it badly enough it does not matter how much you try and ban or outlaw an item they will most certainly get it.

Through just a few lawless individuals, the lawful are always punished.

geordie jones

Yeah, the event is now refered to the Dunblane massacre, it happened in March 1996. A guy called Thomas Hamilton entered a school and started shooting killing children and teachers.

A sad day, even for those not directly effected.

geordie jones

I know that the NH trousers do say dry clean only, but I washed mine and the crease comes out straight away. Give them a good iron and they look immaculate but without the crease, no sign of it what so ever.

geordie jones

I received that christmas card as well.

It is a nice touch by noel, not many businesses would go out of there way to send out such a card in there own country never mind overseas.

I have sent Noel a thank you and also a traditional festive card.

geordie jones

thats brilliant chris

geordie jones

Yep, I would say they are 405's alright.

geordie jones

indiana ken,
I got a leather shop to make mine. I thought scotland would have had a few good leather shops knocking around.
If you want I can post a pic.

geordie jones

excellent, LOL

geordie jones

Found the invoice, I forgot address is on this thread never mind. I ordered 2 x 600gram tubs. As you can imagine i did not realise how much 600grams really is. So I now have enough to last me for a good few years. Address of supplier : Charles H. Fox 22 Tavistock St Covent Gardens London WC2E 7PY UK

geordie jones

I'll see if I can dig out the invoice, if not I ordered to much so I have a spare tub going for sale.

geordie jones

as it left a high sheen finish?

geordie jones

I've just ordered a pair, and Allan at Aldens has mentioned that they are the light brown.

geordie jones

You could try looking on Ebay there seems to be lots of grips for various revolvers. I am always comming across them when trying to get a great bargain on a revolver.

geordie jones

Excellent pics, and a very fine hat indeed. I might have to go down and take a look at the Herbert Johnson establishment while in London.

geordie jones

I'm in the process of ordering a pair of 405's, do I need to order my same size that I normally would wear for shoes or a little smaller. With living in the UK I need to get the sizing right first time. Can someone help with this?

geordie jones

Its the variation number (mark), ie variation 5, variation 6 and so on. There where different modifications mad to the bag over time.

geordie jones

Thanks to everyone, I have now got the fullers earth I was after.

geordie jones

Ive always been told to boil wash them?
What ya trying to shrink?

geordie jones

Thanks MK, I will certainly look into those bits of info you have given.
