Hey, you know what a cautious fellow I am

KJB

Thanks everyone for the comments. jedirun, out of curiosity, how is the length on you? I'm wondering if a "small long" will be waaay too long for me (recall I'm a good 6" shorter than you!) I appreciate the input, and hopefully it will help someone else in the future get sized correct...

KJB

Oh, I forgot to add one thing---if anyone has ordered either of these shirts, I'd be interested in how long it took for them to arrive. I hear the WPG shirt has to come from the UAE?!?

KJB

Nice :TOH: I think these look better, though a bit more expensive :-k http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/49464?feat=65707-ppxs&dds=y&catalog_id=TA Agreed. I've had a pair for about four years & gone thru two new sets of soles. I second that motion!! I've had mine for three years and two set...

Me: "Hello, COW." COW: "Indiana B-------. I always knew you'd log in here again one day. You're not the man I knew two years ago." Me: "It's not the years, COW, it's the mileage... Anyway, I came because I need one of the pieces your gearheads collected." SLAP-TO-THE-FA...

I third it! It's too bad, though, that this movie won't have the wonderful ambiguity and debates centered around the existence of the elusive "grey fedora." This time it's...pretty clearly grey :lol: Oh, and 3K$, I think Steve and Marc put a wire through at least one of the brims just to t...

KJB

Yeah, I would just remind you guys that despite the dying dollar as compared to the Euro and the Australian dollar, the choices out there now for GREAT Indy hats are amazing compared to even when I got into this. Just revel in the choices you've got! This one is like icing on the cake. When I starte...

From a photography perspective, your lighting is great. Whoever did a)the red lighting and b)the one in the toilet bowl should be giv...

KJB

JulianK--did you see my note at the end of the post? I actually went down there (in the catacombs) with my brother, and we did a few gag shots. There was even a pedestal randomly placed in this one alcove, surrounded by skulls, so I did an 'idol grab' shot with one of the skulls since nobody was aro...

(In my best Toht voice) Take them. Take them both! :rolling: :rolling: Bink, I don't agree. I find that if I just sit down to think...the solution presents itself! :wink: In all seriousness, though, Solo--take the one you most want to remember wearing, the one you love to wear. Otherwise every time...

Got mine as Christmas-gift-to-me in December 05, I think.

Man, time goes fast, dunnit? Hardly seems possible that we're closer to 2010 now than we are to 2000...

KJB

This is great news...can't wait to see what happens with it! Steve and Mark, you guys are such assets to this community. I remember my Christmas gift to myself a couple of years ago. I went into the garage, found the ball-peen hammer, took a deep breath. Fought back the tears. Took "Porky"...

KJB

Hey guys and dolls. I'm in Europe for about 3 months for my studies (supposedly...it amounts to some vacation here, some photography there, and some tomb-raiding interspersed), and of course my AB came along with me. Not much other Indy gear here...--I find a musette bag more practical than the Mk V...

KJB

I'm actually not surprised the strap was cut. 1)Knight has mad skills. 2)That strap had already taken a beating---let's not forget that Indy was hanging from the tank with it!

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2649/bash2pz7.th.jpg Let me begin by saying a)how lucky I now feel to have ordered this hat...more than two years ago? December '06 if I'm right...wow...time flies. And b)how sorry I feel for the people waiting upwards of a year for an AB these days! I think I wai...

KJB

I'm _sure_ this has been answered somewhere, sometime, but rather than going searching, here's my experience: The normal size container (about the size of a big can of tuna) will last you a good long while, but it all depends on how often you use the stuff. I dress my extremely heavy Wilson's cowhid...

KJB

After reading previous posts: 1. Marc, egotist 2: Steve, humble Gentleman who has found himself in a place probably unimagined by him a few years ago, who doesn't care if sweatbands are made of kangaroo and doesn't count the number of scenes saying mine or his. :-k :? Huh? It seemed to me like the ...

KJB

I don't know if it's been said yet, but major kudos to Peter for sending the costumer in the right direction!

KJB

Marc, just wondering--- When you say "your hats" do you mean just the AB Deluxe, or also the AB's? My AB is still in good shape, but when it comes time for a reblock I'd _love_ to get one of those roo hide sweats on there even at a steep cost. I just can't get Fedora's story out of my head...

KJB

It's been said before, but it's worth saying again: a HUGE congrats to Steve and Marc!!!!! :D I take my AB off to the both of you I bought it as a sort of "Christmas gift to myself" two years ago...time flies, but this hat keeps on truckin, that's for sure. I had my fingers crossed for Adv...

KJB

Remember, he has top men working on it

Besides, it if takes longer I might actually have the dinero to spring for some of it when it arrives!

KJB

Is everybody getting a Todds now?!? ;) Well, maybe a better question is, "Does everybody want to get a Todd's?"! I for one would be in, except there's a little something else I'm getting that I think everyone else is too--BILLS!!! :lol: :-k ...maybe it's time to make a little extra $$$ on...

KJB

If you're okay with ordering online (or if you've got a really great local shoe store that will size/order for you!), check out what Chippewa has to offer. They're usually very fairly priced (~$125-$200) and the quality is amazing. You'll probably be able to find a style you like, and nothing beats ...

KJB

Bear with me here: You know that spot, like on Bogey's hat in Treasure of the Sierra Madre, at the top and front of the crown, where if you pinch the hat tightly and grab it from there all the time, it'll get a hole eventually? Well, I seem to remember an old post where Marc (I think it was him) exp...

KJB

They are indeed fairly good shoes for the price. I bought mine about six months ago and then realized they're nice close-enoughs too! Biggest pros: if you put some pecards on them and then lightly polish (brown kiwi stuff), they darken up nicely. As in, mine turned the same 'chocolate' color as the ...

KJB

Wow.

KJB

I agree that in theory these bags are "over-engineered" like most military equipment is--the stitching is very strong and the canvas is tough. But sixty years, even in a warehouse, takes its toll. My experience with 'em has been bad; I've had three from WPG and on all three, the cloth that...

KJB

If you decide to use the sweatband wetting technique to stretch a band The wha? :-k Somehow I thought you just stuck it in the hat, adjusted, and poof! back to the right size. You mean it's not that easy? It's supposed to work like magic, dangit! I hope I don't end up hurrying back in a week or two...

KJB

Heya, My good ol' AB has recently decided that it needs some time off and so it would prefer to stay on its hook. Specifically, it voices this opinion by imparting a nice, throbbing headache whenever I wear it for more than a few minutes or so. :x I understand this is the nature of the beast. I'm lo...

KJB

Hey KJB, just take some old and rusty scissors and make the screen accurate Swales cut yourself. 8) Nah, better yet, I found this guy in an online chatroom who seems really dependable, an expert at cutting and an all around nice guy. He says he does brim cuts for free, just needs my home address an...

KJB

"...I have put too much brim on the sides. At your convenience, send it back, and let me make the brim fit your face...." Fedora, judging from the wait time on current AB orders, I would say you're a VERY busy man right now. Before I even _consider_ sending this back to you and therefore g...

KJB

Hey, looks like I own a piece of close-enough gear I didn't even know was gear! (Maybe the gearhead in my subconscious made me select these at the store... :lol: ) I've had these for about 3-4 months. I can say a few things about em that might help people decide-- First off, if you Pecards these thi...

Hi! To quote a different character played by Harrison Ford-- "Hey, it's me." That could pretty much sum up a good intro! :lol: On second thought, I guess I'll ramble for a bit. I've been lurking around for quite a while; I figured it was high time I "step into the light" and hope...
