Wow..looks sweet! Nice jackets!

The jacket is a cowhide. I wore it some more last night after the pics..feels really good. The detail that will take the most getting used to is the zipper pull is on the left side of the jacket, as most of my other jackets (non indy) are on the right...but i doubt i wear it zipped up too much anywa...

Thanks guys. It is the custom jacket. Now I feel like I am finally getting somewhere with the outfit. I will take some more pics in better light and post tomorrow if I get a chance. I am really enjoying it so far..now if it will only get a little cooler down here in Louisiana...

My new todd's jacket arrived today, fresh outta the box! Here are a few pics...thoughts/questions?? So far I love it!! Also in the pic is my Fed with a new bash, but the lighting is too dark to really tell any details..will try to take some daylight pics tomorrow...(try to ignore the shadow created ...

Thanks for the heads up..I'll have to check back soon.

Well, as I am running out of time before my halloween party, I ran to WalMart at lunch..picked up a nice light tan/stone colored short sleeve shirt with shoulder epaulettes for only 3 bucks. It will have to work. I'll place an order for a proper shirt soon..or maybe the wife will get me one!

Please check your PMs and/or email...

Well, heck, maybe its just me..and im not used to seeing it on my head..this look better? Feels like i have the worlds largest hat on my head!!

Well, I have been dry bashing it for 2 hours...i feel like a dork. Not sure where I am going wrong. The lightning in my house makes it look like a brown round blob on my head, which doesnt help any. I cant see any definition in the pinch...ughhh.. http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/2260/dsc0300qp2.j...

This work day will never end!! And I am getting a little apprehensive about the bash..ughh..

Just got the Akubra Fed delivered to me while at work. I am so excited I had to tell some people who would understand! My co workers think I'm off the deep end. :wink: When I get home, I'll begin the ever terrifying process of bashing it..wish me luck...to turn or not to turn..hmm...pics will be pos...

Looks really nice!!

I'm digging the fed! nice!!

Wow, that jacket looks great! Congrats!

Looks very nice!!

Why no whip? Good question. At this point, I want my Indy gear to be for more "every day use" if that makes sense. Now, how many practical times can I wear a leather jacket in Louisiana is another good question! I have already begun wearing my "close enough" shirts, web belt, and...

"Uh uh...That'd be the gun or a David Morgan."

True!! I should have said "that I plan to buy"..lol...at least for now..but you know how that is!!

Just ordered a Todd's jacket in cowhide. Now the wait begins. I'll admit, it was tough to pull the trigger on the jacket, being the most expensive indy gear piece, but I have been "jonesing" ( pardon the bad pun) for a jacket for years now, so its about time I guess. Now the wife is free t...

Thanks guys. The wife just said she'll get me a jacket for my birthday...can't wait!

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Second day to wear the boots, and I guess I got through the break in period...they feel great today!!!

Well, while digging through my closet cleaning it out, I came across a pair of shoes in the box I bought back in 2001 (receipt was in the box still). I opened the box, and first thought...hmm..these could work for now. Doesn't have the moc toe stitching, and the right number of eyelets, etc, but not...

Wow, that does look nice!!!

Lurked here forever after looking for the jacket, but the bag was my first purchase.

Castor,
On my monitor, the picture is pretty close to the actual bag...however, I did take it with a flash. Sometimes when I look at it, its green, other times, brown..lol. The wife said its "greenbrown". Go figure.

Thanks for the comments guys. Interesting to see many people started with the bag. Here are a few pics. If anyone wants more detail, let me know..be glad to shoot some more.

Thanks for the info..makes sense to me.

As the fedora hat size goes down, does the hat's dimensions adjust overall? I wonder because I'm not the biggest guy on the planet (5'10", 165#), and wonder if the Indy fedora would make me look like I'm wearing a 10 gallon hat, so to speak. I assume it doesn't...just wondering.

I'm sure no one else is overly excited, but I got my first piece of gear in the mail today! I got home, and the Magnoli bag and strap were waiting for me. I couldn't be any more happy with it. Great construction and look! Uh oh, guys...I think COW really has me hooked now...

Thanks for the welcome guys. Glad to know I'm not the only Indy nut in Louisiana! And as far as the shirts go, I got the short sleeved version online (I think its called the utility shirt), they didn't have the long sleeve. I lucked out and found a long sleeve version on sale in the store this past ...

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time registerer. I was trying to recall when I started lurking..think I found Micah and indyfan first...and I recall _ and his FS jacket beginnings, and emailing Michaelson a time or two....anyways, I just purchased the Magnoli Indy bag last week. My first piece of ...
