Looks like some beautiful and satisfying work!

As a fellow guitar builder, I can appreciate the planning, time, and effort that went into this.

Enjoy that hat!

Columbiana Jones

Very nice, C.A.K.!

It looks like you've incorporated some critical details in that one that most people miss.

I'm anxious to follow your progress and then perhaps place an order one of these days!

Wishing you all the best, Jack!

Columbiana Jones

I appreciate this Photoss.

Columbiana Jones

Thank you photoss--that's exactly what I needed to know.

One other thing: Did your shirt shrink any with washing?

I have two other similar shirts right now that fit me well, and they each measure exactly 25" pit-to-pit, so I want to make sure.

Columbiana Jones

Hi Guys, When it comes to the shirt, sizing has always been a miss for me. I've owned a few from the various vendors, and the shirt has always been slightly too small and snug, or else just too large. I'm looking to get a Wested now, but want to be sure about the pit-to-pit measurements for an XL: D...

Columbiana Jones

Caught mine in the late afternoon sunlight the other day so I took a pic.

Columbiana Jones

I'll second DarrenHenryW in that my DelCarpio is my favorite. I've owned several of the big makers including an older Morgan, and this one is the one I keep coming back to for a Raiders feel and vibe. I also happen to really love my C-n-C, though, for getting out and practicing different skills. htt...

Columbiana Jones

Congratulations on your new treasure. He really does make a superb whip.

Indyhan--yes--I had him deliver it open-crowned.
I've had a lot of fun working with it, and have already tweaked it a bit further.

Columbiana Jones

Fedoralover, it's the beaver felt, and it's really pretty flexible, so it's fairly easy to get it to do what you want it to do.

Hi Guys,

I've had my hat from Mike for about five days now and I just wanted to report in and say how very pleased I am with it. I think that Mike's hats are truly something special. I'll try and get a shot or two up soon if you guys are still interested.

Columbiana Jones

Now that is a nice one! Congrats!

Very, very beautiful!

Columbiana Jones

Really enjoyed this--thank you for posting it.

I'm also a regular hat-wearer in general--various "driver's caps," and light-weight fedoras in straw, paper, etc. When I do wear them--especially out to a grocery store--I will get something along the lines of a "hey--nice hat" from other guys who are hat-wearers. I guess that th...

Columbiana Jones

Thanks for the compliments. I've resigned myself to the fact that getting "the look" means working with a hat over time through "many looks," since everything with an Indy-style fedora is a compromise. I also decided that I'd just put this hat through all kinds of treatments to b...

Columbiana Jones

From this same round of "sculpting:" http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy109/Greg_Robinson/NOKIALumia710_000115.jpg and http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy109/Greg_Robinson/NOKIALumia710_000116.jpg . . .and another look from a few months back (same hat, different lighting, with less of ...

Columbiana Jones

. . .just because I've been going through another round of working on it:

Columbiana Jones

There's no good reason not to get one, regardless of the price. It's very satisfying to handle, and is extremely accurate. I could compare it with other well-known makers, but don't want to get into comparisons/rankings, etc., and besides that, I love and enjoy and appreciate all of my whips (I'm do...

Columbiana Jones

Had it one week and two days today. Loving it.

Columbiana Jones

Looks just like mine--it arrived Thursday!

Columbiana Jones

It's funny--am I really this shallow? I was actually thinking of listing and letting go of a Del Carpio kip Raiders earlier this year. This whip was made with hides that Bernardo got from David Morgan himself, and looks just like a Raiders whip should look, in my experience (to me, it looks better t...

All one has to ever do is use the search function of this site.

Regards! Michaelson

Yeah, but I was hoping for guesses based on looking at the photos versus using the search function.

Columbiana Jones

Mitch--I was waiting for more replies--and I'm not on here every day.

Michaelson--That's it! Correct!

Columbiana Jones

Ok, here are a few from this morning: http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy109/Greg_Robinson/IMG_5552.jpg and http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy109/Greg_Robinson/IMG_5554.jpg and http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy109/Greg_Robinson/IMG_5555.jpg and for good measure. . . http://i782.photobucket....

Columbiana Jones

Hey Guys--Thanks for the replies! I realize that many of you wear them every day--I was just sharing a little out of my own surprise that there is such a day, because I only found out mid-day yesterday, when I was home for lunch. Can't even remember how--maybe some mention on Facebook or something--...

Columbiana Jones

Just doing my part at work yesterday to celebrate:

Anyone else?

Columbiana Jones

Our house was broken into back in early May. I drove up to our carport behind the house during lunchtime, and the door had been kicked open. My first instinct was to grab my whip (which I keep behind my seat in my truck at all times) and get out of the car and check to see if anyone was still around...

Columbiana Jones

Just wanted to share this story. I am a therapist, and I work with families of children who have special needs and learning issues. I started working with a nine-year-old boy recently who has been diagnosed with autism, and learned very quickly that he loves Indiana Jones--a few weeks ago he started...

Columbiana Jones

That's one SWEET-looking whip!

Greg

Columbiana Jones

Really beautiful whip.

Columbiana Jones

Haven't actually used it, but I carry it around in my truck with me just in case. Earlier this year I had stopped at a grocery store on the way home, and on my way back out to the truck, a very assertive pan-handler type guy just would not leave me alone, even after my cold stare and growl to "...

Columbiana Jones

Hi All,

I spent a little time with mine tonight and snapped a few photos to show what's possible with it. I'm pretty happy with how it's evolved over the year-and-a-half I've had it!

After owning four Westeds that did this "wing" thing, I finally gave up and sold them off. The only jacket I've tried that doesn't do this at all on me is the G&B Expedition. My theory has been that the back panel on the Wested panel is just too wide overall, so the "wings" e...

Columbiana Jones

I love all of these whip stories. Here's one of mine. I was out in a bar on Halloween in full gear (resin replica .45 in the holster even) with two friends. It was dark, and at one point I got that standard question: "Where's your whip, Indy?" To which I replied: "Got it right here.&q...

Columbiana Jones

Hi Louiefoxx,

I'd be glad to post a shot of mine--but have not figured out how to do so in the body of the post. Can you teach me how to do that?

Columbiana Jones

Congrats Indy89 on your whip! I had Robert make my first real whip nearly two years ago, and it's the one that goes with me everywhere--my "workhorse" whip. It has its own special feel that actually makes it a little more accurate and easy to handle than my other two whips, although I abso...

Columbiana Jones

Thanks for the story Dan! I'm with you on the effect of that opening scene in Raiders, and the whip coming out of nowhere. Part of the allure of the bullwhip was (and still is) for me about the mystery--the sudden power coming out of nowhere. I still get a kick out of this now when people see my whi...

Columbiana Jones

Hi Guys, Thought I'd throw some pics of my hat into the mix. Got my deluxe today, and the box was pristine. Great job Ron! I snapped these after a little while with the steam, the ashes, and the sawdust. I decided immediately to turn it, and I don't regret that decision at all. I worked off of pictu...

Columbiana Jones

I pretty much get out into the back yard once a week to get in some practice, and I'll admit I use the very tips of bushes/leaves back there (got lots of 'em) as targets! There's one area which opens to woods with no houses to block the sound, so after getting my shoulder really loose, I'll finish o...

Columbiana Jones

Goodness yes--everything!!! I got a little practice this past Halloween walking all around Five Points (the college scene) in Columbia, SC. Went into a couple of bars there and in The Vista (adult scene), Artsee heater in the holster and all (although I admit that I wore the holster up a little wher...

Columbiana Jones

Oh Man. . .I'm new here but am wondering. . .how do I get on the list?

Thanks,
Greg
