Thanks Steve, I'll try to get this going in the near future. I will E-mail you with all the info when Im ready to have it done.

e.m.t. jones

Any know if Steve is still doing reblocks, My 04 raiders needs some work. The last few times I tried him he was busy with the movie hat and I never heard back from him. I have'nt seen any one mention refurbs/reblocks/repairs in a while.

Hat was a little dusty today after some yard work. Sometimes I like it dusty and sometimes I dont. So I proceded to brush it with my hat brush, wich I have done several times over 4 years with the same hat brush and the beaver felt started to pill :shock: The more I brushed the more it pilled, at th...

I think tucking it in under the sweat band would work in most cases. I cannot because I folded the sweat in half to help with the SOC look, so now the liner is just a little to short to be held in securely. I think im going to have to choose between the glue or the velcro dots , my only concern with...

e.m.t. jones

Good idea ( the glue) any problems with glue build up, or can you just pop the glue dots off the hat as needed ? I had a crazy Idea of sticky back velcro, the little circles ?

Last year after some research I decided to remove the liner from my AB. I think most agree the hats are cooler (temp wise) without the liner and I think as a whole we agree the heros hat had the the liner removed in ROTLA, so my AB is that much more SA. We all still see shots of the liner in the oth...

In ROTLA in the cairo scenes the shirt is almost white.

I am finding that it does a better job with water proffing than pecards with less applications. To much of anything is bad for leather including pecards, from what I have read mink oil has gotten a bad rap over the years, mainly due to the byproducts that most companies use in it now.I have no rebut...

I found this product from leather sheath maker, MONTANA PITCH BLEND, he recommended it for care and water proofing on his sheaths. Just type in the name it should come up, this stuff is great I use this on all my leather gear now, It is a blend of bees wax,pine pitch, and 100% mink oil. I just trie...

Jeep that second prototype looks great, Yes I agree the color is still a little dark but it likes it took to the leather a little better. I still think that color would be great for a belt :lol: I know you know but the plug dosn't look quite right, :-k it looks squashed for some reason. Not the pic ...

e.m.t. jones

Looks good so far,can't wait to see the final product :D what Oz. leather are you using ? Its hard to tell from the pics on my comp, but the color. does look a little dark. Looks like it might be a good shade for a gun belt. Sorry things are'nt working as you planned, We all sit and wait in anticipa...

e.m.t. jones

Has anyone heard anything about ABs new leather gear? Anyone know when this stuff will be availble? Im dying to check this stuff out.

e.m.t. jones

I just recieved a pair of todds gloves and there worth every dime. I took a chance on the gloves (not to dis todd or his products) :D but they look like the general run of the mill work glove that you find at home depot. I have passed these up many times because I always felt the grip with the glove...

e.m.t. jones

Is this the jacket that is supposed to be more screen acurate and cheaper than the standard ?

e.m.t. jones

Im sure somebody has already aked, but does anybody know what color the popper was in raiders. Sometimes it looks like its yellow or white o me

Hello fellow members, Last year some of you may remember I had a problem with the knot on my gio whip. the whip went back to italy and gio fixed it pronto. free of charge . Gios customer service is top notch, :D so far the knot seems solid as a rock. I didnt get much practice in last year with winte...

e.m.t. jones

A little off topic, but I dont see any grooves in the bag strap in that pic. I also agree with with the oil theory, some of the latest pics of the TOD jacket look the same way. I sanded , wire brushed mine because I didnt like the results I was getting from acetone. After a coat of pecards with brow...

I think the reason indy chose the 1917 was price. ( assuming we leave out its a movie) The 1911,created in that year was undergoing mass production in 1936, over 5 million made between the the great wars. It was chosen by the military to phase out the british 38 which has poor stopping power. In the...

I have a wested with cotton body and satin sleeves.No problems with the cotton yet, but the elbows on both sleeves have worn holes in them. I just used iron on patches, no problems since. The material is thicker than the satin. All I had on hand was khaki colored, but I didnt care knowone sees insid...

sorry folks wrong forum.

I have seen several comments on the metal hardware on the gas mask bag. Most that its to bright. I used birchwood casey instant gun blue to age the metal disk,strap rings, air vents,and snaps on my todd bag, u just apply it with q-tip. The cool thing is, if you feel you have over done it, you can st...

Thanks Adam. I very much appreciate the offer, which I might still take you up on, but after receiving the other postings I decided to send an e-mail to Gio, thus I am waiting for his reply. I was wondering if you could explain how is this knob attached to the whip. I got a reply that said it was pi...

hello all, Hope everyone had nice thanx giv. I recived my gio whip the day after thanksgiving, its incredible. :D I cant belive how fast he was from start to finish, he started nov 1st, it took about 1 week for delivery. I have been trying to practice in between bad weather, I have gotten off a coup...

e.m.t. jones

ok, I guess im still confused, I need to move the pinch over, in turn move the center dent, makes sense. Now im supposed to move the two bashes over ? :? I thought that doing the above two, and not moveing the bashes over was the reason why the bash on the right side had more volume to it . Moving t...

e.m.t. jones

I need help with the turn, I understand the turn, but when you turn your hat doyou pop out all the dents. Does this you have adjust the center dent and the two front dents ?, or do you just move the pinch over ? , and how much. Do you think I should have fedora reblock my AB and have him do it ? I a...

e.m.t. jones

incredible, I think its one of the best distressing jobs I've seen. I agree the that the color you end up with after sanding or acetone dosent look good at all. IMO the jacket in the movies has a orange color to it,(distressed areas) wich to me has a better contrast to it. I did not like the acetone...

e.m.t. jones

I finaly ordered my first whip. I had one when I was a kid, that was about 20 years ago. I ordered a Gio, raiders replica 10' 12 plait in natural tan roo, with a darker ring knot.

can't wait Gio said it should be the first november. emt

e.m.t. jones

Yes fedora what is hat oil ? where do I get some ? Even though my hat dosent squeak LOL

Now I have a new stress , What if my hat cracks?

OH no!!!

e.m.t. jones

That was my first thought, I used to grab the pinch to take it on & off, and I thought maybe I ground dirt into the fabric, I stopped grabbing the hat that way. I tried brushing the hat w/a hat brush, and tried steam but dosent seem to help.

e.m.t. jones

The pinch on my AB seems to be fading compared to the rest of the hat. Has anyone else had problem, does any anybody know how fix/stop it ? please help e.m.t.

e.m.t. jones

Beware it will come, I was origanaly satisfied w/ indy jacket, then satisfied w/ a fedora, then satisfied w/ bag, gun belt, web belt, holster, waiting to be satisfied w/ a whip, will be satisfied this week w/ todds shirt, and thinking how mush so w/ a new wested. I hope have lots of fun no matter ho...

Sorry guys I did not realise they were 2 diff hat, by 2 diff hatters. Hope I did not insult anyone. I did not know anyone else was using the letters AB so when people spoke of it I just assumed they were refering to fedoras hat. sorry marc. Thats what I get for assuming, thanx for the thread, I prom...

Hello, Hello. Since I introduced myself on the jacket page lets talk fedoras. I haven't had a fedora since my first cheap TOD Steadson at age 12. Recently, I followed one of the tutorials and tried to modify an assuie cowboy hat which worked for a while. Since I have a real indy jacket I guess the h...
