Do the new chromex leather boots have a lot of red in them, or is it just the lighting in the pics?

Indiana Johnson

My favorite was always in Aman's (Iman's?) house, where he is wearing no hat and his glasses, "They're digging in the wrong place!" The jacket just looked so good there, that's how I wanted my leather jackets to look. The jacket was always my first passion, hats came years later, and I'm m...

Indiana Johnson

Just a bit off topic....
I have some of Aldens dress shoes in the burnished tan calfskin, thought I'd share a pic. The bag next to them is a saddleback briefcase. I love this color for these shoes.

I have not purchased SD Indy Jacket, but I have purchased two of their other Jackets. Both were very low quality. The snaps on my A2 collar were horribly uneven, the pocket buttons on my G1 both fell off within a week, and compared to Aero, Wested, and G and B, the leather quality itself leaves much...

Had this about a year now, been through some rain, snow, and sun, but nothing too rough. Thought I'd show how much wear it has.

1 Adventurebilt Raiders If you're ever worried you might be getting too many hats (or leather jackets for that matter), step on over the thefedoralounge.com. Many here are members there, and you will meet several people with more hats than they could possibly wear in months. We're talking several pe...

Indiana Johnson

Ahem

Nice Aero repro A2 for sale in the classifieds

Indiana Johnson

I also find right now, a non brown or non-Indy type fedora lessens the self consciousness, because the Indy 4 movie is so recent that wearing an Indy fedora does tend to draw some attention. I was with my wife at a museum today wearing my dark gray c-crown fedora, with a dark overcoat (we were getti...

Indiana Johnson

Before you shell out the money for an Optimo, I have a suggestion. I know he's not as common over here, but there is a fellow named Art Fawcett that is a regular on www.thefedoralounge.com He is an outstanding hatmaker, and our own Steve Delk recommends him when people are searching out a more tradi...

Indiana Johnson

That reminds me of a great story. I had been sporting my Indy hat quite a bit for a several month period. One day, I was doing some housework, and for background noise I put in my Raiders DVD. My 3 year old daughter was toddling about the room, and paused to watch the show for a moment. It was the o...

Indiana Johnson

My hat arrived today, but my joy once again turned to disappointment. The hat fit fine, but I noticed the brim seemed so much more narrow than it should be. I pulled out my measuring tape, and measured the brim. 55 x 63 mm. Funny, the website says it should be 63 x 70, which is exactly what my Adven...

Indiana Johnson

So once again, disappointment rears its ugly head and sucker punches me. I ordered my Federation a week ago Monday. Lately people have posted on this forum that their Feds arrive exactly one week after ordering (in the USA). So naturally, I assume it will come on Monday (yesterday). No luck. Well, m...

Indiana Johnson

Not me, I look very handsome in my hat

Indiana Johnson

I disagree, I think it looks great, not at all out of proportion.

Indiana Johnson

Welcome to Cow, I must say, that is a darn fine lid. I would be proud of that one.

Indiana Johnson

Actually, even vegetarians and vegans need to kill animals to eat and stay alive. Every year, farmers kill millions of rats, mice, and other vermin around grain silos, fruit orchards, and cornfields. If they didn't, plagues of those vermin would decimate all of our crops, and we would all starve. Ev...

Indiana Johnson

I'm guessing they had Ford wear the Homburg in Sabrina because Bogart wore one in the Original Sabrina. I definitely like the Fedora better

Indiana Johnson

The pockets were made bigger for LC, to fit the grail diary. I seem to recall info on this forum a while back stating the larger LC pockets were pretty standard for all jackets Wested was making at the time. A number of people began asking for smaller pockets on their ROTLA jackets, myself included,...

Indiana Johnson

I've had my HH for about a year now, I really love it. That being said, I don't know what dye process they use on HH, but the color doesn't seem to weather at all (ie, fade in blotchy patterns like the film jackets we all love). It is still a very consistent, flat brown. This is after wearing it on ...

Indiana Johnson

I bought the 80's fit. I am 5'10, 160 lbs, and wear a 40R. Most 40R jackets I have are built for typical Americans, ie, 38 waist :lol: I have a 31 waist. The Wested 80's fit jacket was the first jacket I ever bought that didn't feel baggy. It fits my slender frame very nicely, I am very happy I went...

Indiana Johnson

Let me tell you my story. I ordered my hat January 4th of 07. On February 13th, 2008, we were hit with a horrible blizzard that caused power black outs, white out conditions, and several traffic accidents. My 30 minute commute was nearly 3 hours that day. My Adventurebilt was delivered that day, but...

Indiana Johnson

Just found this, so let me add my $.02. I have the Wested HH, and an Aero HH 1940 A2 (the modern day repro, not an original). The Wested is definitely a good quality leather. It is soft and drapes well, but obviously tough and a good thickness. I've often described the color as flat and somewhat lif...

Indiana Johnson

Alden, Allen Edmonds, Breitling, Tag Heuer, and Wilson Combat all seem to have regular price increases every year.

Indiana Johnson

Mine does not specify dry clean only. I've washed mine, but use a delicate cycle and line dry it (or gentle, no heat / air only cycle)

Indiana Johnson

I've had the Wested HH for almost a year now. Pros, very durable, heavy weight, but with a very nice drape. Cons, the color is flat and somewhat lifeless, and it doesn't take to distressing very well. So it doesn't have that "adventure look" that a lambskin or cowhide develops. Maybe in a ...

Indiana Johnson

Indy Kev and Indy Johnson, those are fine-looking hats! :clap: Thank you. Oddly enough, I find it looks better in pictures of me wearing it, as opposed to my mirror's reflection. But I also have a teardrop JW fedora that looks great in the mirror, but not in photos. I think the photos are probably ...

Indiana Johnson

Ordered January 4th, 2007, received Feb 13th 2008. And for those of you still waiting, please know it is worth every day of wait, I would happily wait twice that long. Steve did an outstanding job, and I can only give him heaps of praise for creating what is probably the MOST sought after piece of I...

Indiana Johnson

Another Happy AB recipient. Enjoy!

Opinions welcome

Indiana Johnson

Got what I think is the perfect one the first time, Wested Raiders HH.

Indiana Johnson

Like many others looking forward to receiving their own AB, this video got me even more exited to receive it, and see this movie. Steve, Marc, congrats to both of you for such an outstanding job. BTW, I thought the jackets in this video looked far better than most of the pics I've seen, so now I'm a...

Indiana Johnson

I have the Wested pants and shirt, as well as a Magnoli shirt. I love the pants, wear them all the time. I found my Wested shirt to be of a much lighter, thinner fabric than the Magnoli, and I worry it wont hold up as well, although I haven't had either long enough to see how well they endure. The W...

Indiana Johnson

I second Magnoli for custom fit shirts. I have the Wested shirt, and recently received my Magnoli Shirt. I'll post pics someday, but the Magnoli shirt fits me great, it's color is great, I love it. I have to get my Wested Tailored to fit right, because I am also very slim, and standard shirts fit me...

Indiana Johnson

My Wested HH Raiders jacket was super smooth when it was brand new, so smooth it almost looked like vinyl, or at least like it had been pressed smooth. But after a few months of wear, the grain really started to stand out. It still isn't near as wrinkly as one of my old goatskin jackets, though. So ...

Indiana Johnson

I specified the 80's slim fit, and asked for smaller pockets and collar, but from the other pics I've seen, I think that size pockets and collar are standard for a 40R 80's fit. Maybe? I also added a second interior pocket.

Indiana Johnson

Thank you. Someday I may post a pictue of me actually wearing them, but for now I am still a little camera shy. Maybe when I have a good hat to go with them. The Aero is rather new, and still as stiff as a 2x4, but I sure like wearing it. I've had the Wested for almost a year, and it feels like butt...

Wow. That is one stunning hat.

Indiana Johnson

Steve, you are an artist and a gentleman. I am so exited to think you are going to be getting to my name on the list soon. I have bought some high quality garments the last few years, but I don't think any hold up to the attention to detail you put into each and every hat you make. I look forward to...

Indiana Johnson

I like 'em. I especially like the dark brown, as the color of my Aldens has always been my one complaint with them. 130 pounds. Ouch, but I guess it's no more than Aldens.

Indiana Johnson

take a look at Alden's website
www.aldenshoes.com
look at dress shoes, they have plenty of very classic styles. Possibly something like this http://www.aldenshoes.com/DrawOneShoe.asp?CategoryID=24

I can also highly recommend www.allenedmonds.com dress shoes

Indiana Johnson

For custom orders, which Aldens do we contact, San Francisco, New York, or another one? Alden of Carmel already told me they don't do custom orders.

This is my "close enough" Indy gun, the model 19 (K frame) in .357. The one pictured is not actually mine, but mine looks identical to the one with wood grips. Picked it up just last month for $300

Indiana Johnson

I ordered my Wested HH last February and received 8 weeks later. I only got to wear it a few times before the warm weather set in, but now that it is cooling off I've been sporting it quite a bit. I ordered the 80's slim fit, so it fits me very well. It was a little stiff, and I worried that it was ...

Indiana Johnson

...and I was gonna go keep an eye out for the cops so we could run when they showed up!!

I am a cop, I was going to have you guys hold him down so I could taser him

Indiana Johnson

I bought my HH in the slim fit pattern, but for me that was best, because I am a rather slender fellow.

Indiana Johnson

Welcome, and well met! First off, congrats on the victory in Vienna. Well done indeed. That's the two great things about this place, so much good info on great gear, and so many outstanding people. "Come for the gear, stay for the people", my wife says she was astounded to learn there are ...

Indiana Johnson

A Bomber jacket!! That's all I had until this last spring, and I still wear my knit cuff bomber frequently. I have a new Aero A2 winging its way to me as we speak, Mark just let me know yesterday that it is ready.

Indiana Johnson

Wait, wait, wait.
I've been following this debate for a while, and I was a little confused about a particular point. So before it continues, or gets worse, or gets shut down, I just want to clear up one little question.....

Indiana Jones wore a hat???
