Hey guys - Long time no post! Happy to see so many familiar names again. The news about the Screenused hat piqued my interest again so I figured i would see if there was debate here, I wasn't disappointed lol. Propstore thanked me for being the first to point out the Teardrop bash issue on Facebook....

FordPerfect

Fun and surprisingly well-researched given all the rubbish and misconception out there - (From UK Cinema mag ESCAPE)

Does your expenditure tally? Have to say mine kind of does...!!

FordPerfect

The only advice I can offer is persist - I had exactly the same issue being based in the UK and had been on the lookout for one of these literally for years until I lucked out and managed to snag this; http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Martin-El/SW.jpg Despite its realistic appearance, this is ...

FordPerfect

Yup, bang on 58- always been pleased about that...

FordPerfect

I called him up what must've been three months ago or more -
He told me there was difficulty with the suppliers, in short.
No update on the site and nothing since so it would seem the situation is the same

Shame as I'm considering one too...

Wow really?? is the difference that marked?
Would you happen to know the back length on a new batch large?

FordPerfect

Anybody know what the size equivalent of the old XXL-A is in this new batch??? I'm a 44 chest...
I'm really loving the texture on this new run and have waited and waited for the details to be fixed...!

FordPerfect

The flaps in my pic above were nothing more than a modification of the existing flap (though I did seriously consider using fabric from the hems) as ultimately, you don't need any more fabric that already there. I used a very similar template for the correct shape but as I stated, it only comes toge...

FordPerfect

I was forever in pursuit of the perfect pocket-flap also until I got a seamstress to modify my Noel Howards - this was the result; http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Martin-El/DSC_0378.jpg Best tip I can give is to replace the button with a much smaller shirt-sized one - makes all the difference...

FordPerfect

As another satisfied recipient of a Todd's weathered by Raidersbash I have to say he elevates a great piece of kit to SA prop status...!

FordPerfect

Having just checked my Todd's there is indeed a 1cm gap at that seam, another reason, as if any more were needed, to love it...

FordPerfect

After looking at your pics I confess to heading straight over to Magnoli's site to check it out-
Its an incredible ensemble and the overall look/screen accuracy makes me really envious!!
Congrats and yes, more pics to show it off please..!

FordPerfect

Well, first vendor status isn't just given out. We require potential vendors to ask for status. Most in the business see the value and usually do. Second we require some feedback from folks who have ordered and received goods from said prospects. If those are met, generally vendor status is granted...

FordPerfect

As this is early days for Jason as a vendor, I think I can speak for him when I say he is very sensitive to how his audience and potential customers percieve him.... Let's clear something up, Fedoraiders is not a recognized vendor here. =; Ok, you can continue the discussion. Regards! Michaelson Fo...

FordPerfect

Gentlemen -

Thank you for your observations & praise! The review was a pleasure to write and more importantly I think Jason has earned some good press.

As for worn pictures - I know - as frustrating for me as it is for you!!
They are coming!

FordPerfect

It is with considerable anticipation and pride that I can start this thread - and I should also apologise in advance as really this should be another one of Mitch's colourful postings. The fact is that his was the first hat to be made by Jason - mine was second but arrived first so on that basis alo...

FordPerfect

Hi- Welcome to the board- When I found myself in the same dilemma recently about the jacket and all it's quirks I found this thread invaluable; http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35782&hilit=A+raiders+specs+in+one+place Read it carefully and follow a few links and all your quest...

FordPerfect

Please PM me if anybody has an XXL A the want to sell!!

FordPerfect

And good luck with the pocket flaps - I think the Wested's have even less fabric on the flap to play with for reshaping. This is what I managed to get out of the Noel Howard's after matching up the weave of the fabric to get the right size & curve... http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Martin...

FordPerfect

Great news all round and excited to be among the first on the list!!!!

FordPerfect

You have a PM.

FordPerfect

Another definate buyer here whenever you're ready, Jason. Your examples just get better....

FordPerfect

Having ordered my whip from Bernardo a couple years ago now based on all the reference I'd seen on this board, etc. I was overjoyed with both the customer service and the item itself. My order was laughably simple; One 10' SA as possible Raiders whip, please. Recently I had the opportunity to compar...

FordPerfect

Easily my favorite hat ever seen on this board

And there's been a few!!

FordPerfect

I know, I know its a jacket thread -
But I'm loving the hat...

You make a very good modern-day Jones - the jacket looks superb...

FordPerfect

I have to agree - Its six months and counting for me too and while I'm sympathetic to the process involved in its creation one of the attractive things about ordering the HJ originally was the three-month wait. If I'd wanted an AB with its guaranteed longtime wait I'd have ordered one. Fact is the c...

FordPerfect

Likewise - I'm on my fourth Todd's an great as it is I know something is right when I see it. Congrats, Holt on your rather relentless pursuit of 'the one' and investing in your theories - The results speak for themselves. I read Peter's comments with interest though - I understand seeing as these s...

FordPerfect

Oooh.
That looks fantastic - Everything I'm hoping mine will be!
Do you mind if I ask when you ordered? My three months is up and I was wondering what kind of turnover these were getting.

FordPerfect

Oh my god -
if mine turns out anything like that I'll be elated!!!
Actually - could that one be mine??

FordPerfect

Oops. Amended, thanks

FordPerfect

So thanks to Peter B's persistance I finally got my NH Raiders trousers. Sadly it took almost six months as they were lost in transit during Noel's passing and only after the inventory was bought did they resurface, so I'm very grateful as these pants are simply the best - But - The pocket flaps are...

FordPerfect

I have the XL - I'm a 41-42 chest with a 17" collar and 5'10" tall. I also take a size large in shirts normally. The Noel Howard shirt is definately a fitted cut. The collar is tight but doable but the rest of the shirt fits amazingly well - I knew as soon as I put it on it was 'the one'.

FordPerfect

I was also enamoured enough Of the SA pocket flaps to buy some and though I've been really happy with them I've been convinced that the colour is too light and that the NH's (despite how they look in pictures) are the true colour when movie lighting is factored into the equation... Me in Magnoli's a...

FordPerfect

This is only my second hat - and after much researching and soul-searching (not to mention bashing, prodding & curling) I think it will be my last. I also think this is a rare beast - A Lee Keppler finished (re-blocked, sweatbanded and ribboned) by AB, so I guess you could call this a Kepplerbil...

FordPerfect

Does this look like a costume jacket to you? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Martin-El/Indy_Board.jpg If you want the Raiders look, feel & drape (with accurate details to boot) simply take one Todd's jacket and give it a #### good kicking. The results are astounding - my sincere thanks to...

FordPerfect

What's the collar size on a large, my good man?

FordPerfect

Like most things from Todd, it's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing visually and economically the man can't be beat on anything. I would bang on about how good his shirt looks also but this thread is not the place... Regarding the whip - I'd be really tempted by a 10 footer - Is it a po...

FordPerfect

I have a a Keppler /AB hybrid in a Raven bar bash. I'll try post pics soon!!

FordPerfect

Okay -
So can somebody give me a proper rundown before I try this?
Much appreciated!!

FordPerfect

Sounds fun -
Thanks for the advice!!

FordPerfect

The lampshade trick eh?
Mm - What's that then?

FordPerfect

So this is bothering me. I got a great new hat this week and while it seems to fit beautifully, both my ear tips just touch the leather of the sweatband. I don't know why but I find this irritating and wonder if its right. I've studied some pics and its difficult to tell if it touches Harrison's lob...

FordPerfect

Gentlemen - Allow me to offer some pictorial evidence if I may. Recently I had the priveledge of inspecting the collection of cKing at his home (or Hollywood museum, if you prefer) and took along with me my Todd's standard to compare to what, in his opinion is the closest match to the Raiders jacket...

FordPerfect

Beautiful!

But US to the UK with no customs issues? What gives?

FordPerfect

PM sent and negotiating!

FordPerfect

While we are here and I await my exchange I wonder if I could ask just how Todd arrived at the conclusion of the body length? Am I right in understanding the measurements as such were taken from a screen-used jacket? If that's the case the comment about wearing it with jeans is dead-on. I wish I'd h...

FordPerfect

So I'm slowly building up a reference file of the fedora in all its glory, but d'ya think I can get a decent shot of the bow? Nah. Not even a screencap. Its always obscured/wrong angle.
Can anybody help with this? Would be much appreciated!!

FordPerfect

"I tell you what, I have been around here a long time (when there was only Indyfan and no Indygear) and have seen many jackets posted on COW, many. The simple fact is, Todd's Costumers seems to have produced the closet thing to the Raiders jacket that has made its way to the marketplace, to da...
