Looks good. Is the leather latigo, Gaucho?

Its 8 plait. And I payed $200.

Wow! :shock: Very nice indeed. Is this his budget whip? How does it feel in the hand, fairly balanced? It must crack with little effort from the wrist, huh? Looks great! Cheers! :whip: Dan Nope, its not the budget whip. I was originally going to get the IOAB whip but opted for this one instead. The...

A few days ago I received an 8 ft latigo bullwhip I ordered from Winrich Whips. I wanted to get a whip that was somewhat similar in color to the KOTCS whip. I didn't have the money for the screen accurate kangaroo hide so I went with the slightly reddish latigo. Latigo is one of the most durable/str...

OK, here's a few pics of me with the hat:

Chewbacca Jones wrote:Yep. Dimensional. You have the cut I had on my first.

So my fedora is more or less SA?

Its just that I have a thin face so the hat looks a little big on me because of the wide brim. Nice to know I won't have to cut the thing up though. Thanks.

Its 2 3/4 inches from the ribbon to the side of the brim on the side. And its slightly less than 3 inches in the front.

Here's a couple pics of my Federation regular. Is this a dimensional cut?

Federations with come with the dimensional cut for a long time now actually, so you probably don't need to do that. I actually bought my Federation (regular version, not Fed Deluxe)back in 2007. The brim is very wide. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a dimensional cut. I'll post some pics so you can...

I need to cut my Akubra Federation so I can get a dimensional cut (so it can be more SA). Are there any guides that can show me how to do this? I found some old links on COW but they're all dead.

How do I order? I went to your site but there's no info on ordering whips.

Adam, so are you offering the IAOB once again? If I order the whip now how long would it take for it to be shipped?

If I order my $199 deluxe whip now will I be billed when I order it or when it ships? And what is the current wait time for the deluxe whip? 10 weeks?

Is this a Raiders "Cairo" bash?

Is this these the right type of screws for the strap?

Thanks for the info. I'm glad I don't have to buy a new strap.

I lost one of the screws on my MK VII bag strap. Should I buy a new bag strap from Todds? Or is there some other way I can replace the screw?

hey max great fit. Dude you might have heard this, but i would be doing Shias character Mutt if i were you. You have a strong resemblance enough to pull it off really well for the priemere or any conventions if you actually go to any cons. Definitely look into that! He does look a lot like Shia Lab...

I finally attached the strap to the bag. It's just difficult because the strap is so thick ans stiff.

Thanks, Omega Man.

I just got a WPG Mark VII repro. and was wondering how to attach the leather strap. I was able to unfasten the bolts on one end and attach it to one of the rings on the bag but I'm having some trouble attaching the end with the buckle. There doesn't seem to be anyway to unfasten the bolts on the end...

I've misplaced one of the close-enough Indy shirts from Old Navy so I'm wondering which store I can pick up a new one. Old Navy no longer sells these close-enough shirts. Does anyone know of any major stores that still sell close enough shirts?

I was thinking about getting a cotton raiders jacket from Wested so I'm kinda dissappointed they've recently decided to make denim jackets instead. Is there any way I can still order a custom cotton raiders? Are you just looking for something lightweight? This is more of a light-weight denim jacket...

Regards! Michaelson

Ok, thanks. I'll try out Strider's suggestion.

I'm kind of scratching my head here. Why are you using Pecards to 'distress' your jacket? It RESTORES the moisture TO your jacket, and therefore reverses the appearance of any distressed leather. It is NOT a product that distresses anything. It's kind of like expecting car wax to weather your car. ...

OK, I finally decided to distress my jacket. So I bought some Pecard leather lotion and applied it to my jacket. I think I followed the application directions correctly: I used a small washcloth and put on a thin layer of the lotion all over. But after about an hour of letting it dry I didn't notice...

I wonder if the Indy 4 jacket will have distinguishing feature that separates it from the other three. I guess it could just end up being a virtual copy of the LC jacket. Can anyone spot anything about the jacket that's different than the LC?

Can someone please post a before and after picture(s)? And a photo of what exactly it looks like and where it is? Is it just the inside lining and stitching?

I just picked up a pair. They're great close-enoughs. I wish the color was a little darker though.

Looking at technonut's US Wings pics, I wonder why his jacket looks so different than mine.

Mine is a US Wings goat skin (non-imported). The color is a lot darker and the sleeves are bigger (even though mine is a size medium).

Thanks for the advice. I'm leaning towards not distressing it. I guess I'll just let it distress on its own over time. After all I'm sure that's what Indy did.

after my first wested, i've chosen not to distress anything....but if you want advice....go very, very, verrrrrrrry slowly as too much all at once may leave you with something you don't like.

So you would recommend not distressing it? Do you think its unnecessary?

I think I'm going to lightly distress my dark-brown US Wings goatskin jacket. I was wondering exactly what tools I need and where to get them. Where can I get some Pecards dressing? Also, is there anything I should avoid so I don't ruin the thing?
