Would anyone happen to know if Wested combines shipping on orders of more than one item? There are a few items I am considering ordering from them, however, when I added each item into the cart, a fifteen pound shipping fee was added in for each item. When you put three or four items in your cart, y...

I too have to highly, highly recommend the G&B Expedition in goatskin. My first Indy Jacket was the US Wings Vintage Cow. It's a wonderful jacket and tough as they come but the inaccuracies always bothered me a little...I think a lot of it was the lighter shade of brown that it came in. Not real...

AppalachiaJones

I highly recommend the Flightsuits/Gibson and Barnes jacket, Granted it's not 100% "right" but it's pretty dern close. Tough, durable and, well made. Oh, and my goatskin looks GREAT. I really appreciate and respect Peter going out of his way for us gearheads BUT, ultimately he IS running a...

AppalachiaJones

No, I haven't. I've only seen his e-mail address there.

AppalachiaJones

Considering some Keppler gear...maybe belt, holster, and whip holster setup.

Anyone ordered any of Lee's Adventure Gear lately?

I'd also be glad to hear other suggestions.

Thanks!

AppalachiaJones

Congratualtions on your order....make sure you post some pics when yours arrives!

AppalachiaJones

Ok folks, I've uploaded 19 pics of my jacket. I posted some in another thread: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?p=333539#333539 My photbucket album contains all the pics of this jacket. You will also notice that some pics are a comparison shot between the two jackets, The lighter colored on...

AppalachiaJones

Ok, as promised, here are some pics of my new Flightsuits Expedition in Brown Goatskin after a few days of breaking in by wearing it while driving it around the house and driving. It has also been treated with Pecards Jell once, however, that did not seem to affect the appearance one way or another....

AppalachiaJones

Hah. You got me IndyG :D . Sadly, I've had terrible luck with electronics lately. A few weeks ago, my digital camera broke at work. I've been planning to get a new one and then today, my laptop broke, forcing me to buy a new one...putting a large dent in my bank account. (It's sad but I think I woul...

AppalachiaJones

Thanks a lot fellas, I really appreciate all the advice. I actually have been wearing it as much as possible in the heat...mainly as you suggested, while watching TV, on the computer, etc, etc. As a result, I have to say, I think I love this jacket more and more each day. It's almost as if it starts...

AppalachiaJones

Good input folks. My first job as a teenager was working part time at an Army-Navy Surplus store and ever since that time, I've been a big fan of both the Boonie Caps and the Patrol Caps. However, when I initially posted this thread, I was envisioning something more like this: http://www.kevinscatal...

AppalachiaJones

Thanks for all the input Indiana G, I really appreciate it. I pretty much went with Deluxe on everything leather...not that I'm rich or anything but I figured, why buy something cheap and have to replace it later when you can start out with some nice things? Since my last post, I also received good ...

AppalachiaJones

Just placed my order with Todd's for a few odds and ends including the essentials for a gunbelt.

Raider style holster, whip holster, and belt.

I also ordered a couple web trouser belts and Todd's adventure shirt.

Really looking forward to this orders arrival.

AppalachiaJones

Well, unfortunately, my digital camera's on the fritz...i.e. Broken. Unfrotunately pics will be delayed. Regardless though, I just want to express how truly pleased I am with this jacket. I wore it for a while around the house (too hot to wear it outside), and driving on a day trip that I went on to...

AppalachiaJones

Just got to thinking.... When browsing outdoor apparel catalogues and sporting goods stores, most frequently contain various types of brimmed hats. Some wool, some canvas, others types of cotton duck and oilcloth. Does anyone ever wear any of these types of hats, perhaps as an alternative at times?

AppalachiaJones

Well folks, my goatskin Expedtion Jacket arrived safe and sound today from G&B. Upon opening it, I was quite pleased with my findings. I was a little concerned by the stiffness that it seemed to have right out of the bag but after wearing the jacket for only a few minutes, it started to loosen u...

AppalachiaJones

Fantastic. I appreciate all the help IndyK.

AppalachiaJones

But, what can we improve, concerning the hat? Is there any way to make it better?" Is there a need for more hat craftsmen? It appears this aspect of the gear is now fairly well defined, and covered. Very true, I think the hat has basically been perfected. I don't know what could be improved ex...

AppalachiaJones

Well, remember that Wested advertises as being based "off the original patterns", while leather.com's site is advertising an "Indiana Jones inspired" jacket, which means that while the former NEEDS to be downright anal about the little details, the latter has more creative freed...

AppalachiaJones

Don't forget that many a Wested isn't screen acurate either - there are many posts on this. It all depends on what people want. Cheers - CM An excellent point. However, at least with the Wested problems, most have to do with the extreme attention to detail that we demand here. Things like the leath...

AppalachiaJones

It definitely sounds like a golden age or maybe an "Era of good feeling" type of time. I know I went on somewhat of an Indy "hiatis" for a little while, only lurking here every now and again as opposed to daily, and as I've gotten more time to get back into this hobby, I am truly...

AppalachiaJones

You can find some great advice here from the members of this forum, most probably better than mine. However, I'll throw out my advice anyway. In order to avoid going off on a tangent about all the possibilities and possible uses of a jacket, I'll simply say that I purchased a Vintage Cow jacket from...

AppalachiaJones

This type of thing makes me wonder what all really is out there being offerred for sale, including things the members of this forum have not yet discovered. The first things that jump out at me here is the snap closure on the sleeves and the HUGE zipper tab. It's awesome to see fellow Indy fans out ...

AppalachiaJones

I really appreciate all the encouragement folks. I'm definitely looking forward to the arrival of this jacket.

In the meantime, what is the general consensus now on the screen accuracy of this jacket?

AppalachiaJones

Thanks for the advice, Michaelson. I think that's what I'll do. If you don't mind, while we're on the topic, do you have any advice tips for preventing "serious damage" such as drying, splitting, and cracking of the leather? For instance, if it gets soaked should I apply a new coat of Peca...

AppalachiaJones

Folks, As some of you may have seen in the jackets section, I've recently ordered an FS Goatskin Expedition. While I anxiously await its arrival, I've already started thinking about distressing. My current and only other Indy Jacket is a USWings Vintage Cow. As such, I really have no experience in d...

AppalachiaJones

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate all the help.

A little more browsing last evening brought me to What Price Glory and the discovery that they too also offer an Indy shirt.

How do they measure up to NH and Wested's?

AppalachiaJones

Oh, that would be great. For some reason I was under the impression that the Noel Howard pants and shirts were no longer available.

Does NH make these items to order or are they in-stock and ready to ship?

AppalachiaJones

At some point, I will be ordering an Indy shirt and pants. It seems that right now I have two options:

A) Magnoli Clothiers
B) Wested

Are there any other vendors that offer a screen accurate shirt or pants?

AppalachiaJones

I'd love to order one too. But my government wants me to pay another $120 in tax on top of purchase price. Cheers - CM That's insane...is that resulting from some type of customs tax or import duty? I have three from flightsuits, each a different skin, lamb, deer, and goat, you wont be disappointed...

AppalachiaJones

Well, I did it. I just ordered my first flightsuits expedition jacket. Size 38R, my regular suit coat size, in seal brown goatskin. I'm pretty excited but I always get a little knot in my stomach when I spend a large chunk of money at once like that. Either way, I'm looking forward to it, it sounds ...

AppalachiaJones

10 it is then...Gentlemen, I thank you all for your help and your suggestions, I sincerely appreciate it.

-Nick

AppalachiaJones

Have you ever worn work boots before? Sure, I have... I own two different pairs of Wolverine work boots, one pair is the typical tan colored work boot that is lightly insulated and the other is kind of an Indyish boot...it's an ankle boot that borders dress/work which is also very very lightly insu...

AppalachiaJones

Thanks Al, I really appreciate it....by the way, I hesitate to ask because it's nearing the point of beating a dead horse (and I'd hate to see Michaelson have to drag out that soapbox again :D *) But how did you find the sizing?? Did they fit normally or would you recommend ordering a 1/2 size small...

AppalachiaJones

Hey Guys,

Sorry I've been kind of out of the loop on this but, does anyone know what shade of brown(hopefully brown

) the Aldens from Renners Boots are coming in these days? I'm thinking about ordering a pair sometime soon but I want to be sure of the color..

Thanks,
Nick

AppalachiaJones

Sounds like a good plan to me...and personally I think it's a great winter look...kind of captures that casual gentleman look...of course the fact that it's all IndyGear adds to it a little too :wink: I'd actually like to have a sweater like this myself...if anyone comes across a good source for one...

AppalachiaJones

Great. Thanks a lot. I paid a little extra for shipping so they should be arriving shortly. I'll let you know whether or not my luck turns out to be as good as yours

AppalachiaJones

Hey Captain D, did yours run any bigger or smaller than your normal shoe size? I probably should have asked before I ordered

but I just went ahead and ordered my regular shoe size.

AppalachiaJones

Good Finds.

Well, I went ahead and ordered a pair of these boots. They should arrive shortly.

AppalachiaJones

Yeah, Super Shoes prices are a little high, though they do tend to carry better brand shoes. How long did you have to wait for yours to arrive?

AppalachiaJones

Hey guys, check this link out.

http://www.supershoes.com/ECscripts/ECw ... 1CN1&lc=EN

There's some details about "the" Carolina boots.

Hope this helps.

AppalachiaJones

Does HJ have a website? I came across a link to www.herbertjohnson.co.uk or something like that but it didn't work, at least when I tried it. Or do you just have to call Swales to inquire?

AppalachiaJones

Heh, good point.

AppalachiaJones

Apparently Imahomer's short attention span ran out so, he skipped the second page.

Go away. You're annoying.

AppalachiaJones

Sorry Schwammy, I've been wondering the same thing. They always looked like an off-white color to me(i.e. the Raven bar scene where they weren't covered in dust and dirt). But as far as them being necessary, I think if you are going for a Raiders look they are a must-have item, no question. But in r...

AppalachiaJones

Well. We did it. We broke the three page mark. LoL

AppalachiaJones

No, actually I don't even have a pic of myself yet. Thanks a lot though. As soon as I get one I'll let you know. I'd like to get a whip before I take it , that's really the only thing lacking. (The sooner Lee gets back to me about that, the better)

AppalachiaJones

By the way dude, that is one awesome collage you have on your website. Booyeah!

AppalachiaJones

LoL I don't know or care if you were serious about not having this much fun on here in a while but I have to agree, LoL. This is a funny post. All we are doing is beating around the bush. We all three know how a belt works. Greg and I are exagerating the looseness of it while you are pretending not ...

AppalachiaJones

Actually I have recently spoken with him. It seemed that he was getting back to me very quickly but after I told him I wanted to order a whip I haven't heard from him. Perhaps I am being a bit cynical though. Sometimes that impatience can make a small time frame seem much longer.
