Brian Lalonde is a one of a kind man. His skills are impeccable and by his craftsmanship, even if you haven't talked to him a lot, you can tell the pride he takes in his work and life when you receive his products. He's incredible to deal with and and honest to God good man. He would never do anyone...

Indy_Werner

Congrats. I have one of the originals from when I was younger. I still wear it and it has grown to me. Good job.

I just had to go with the sunbody. Beautiful hat, I don't find it that heavy.... love it.
And here it is.

Indy_Werner

Thanks for all the responses! Been so busy I forgot I even asked about this lol. I will definitely take your suggestions into consideration. Looks like I need a new avatar... lol
Thanks,

It's been awhile for me to be on here again, but I always come back lol So I go this straw http://www.pollockswestern.com/catalog/images/hg3+f.png and this band http://i.tfcdn.com/img2/epV4TzoAY7LxYWdILChILErNYcgoKSmw0tcvLy_XKy7NS8pPqdRLzs_Vz8xNTE8t1k_KyDAw1TWONzU31csqSAcA/fyVMtP8A If anyone knows, ...

So it arrived on monday the 2nd, but I had to wait until the next saturday to get it since I was in my dorm. That week took forevor. When I first touched it I could tell this was of crazy quality. When I touching my christies now it feels like it's made of paper lol I keep comparing it to pics of it...

Indy_Werner

So, word has it that the hat arrived at my house yesterday! Ordered october 3rd I think. Im in my dorm now though so as patient as I've been for two years.... I'm now way too impatient since It's so close lol I think I'll pick it up on thursday.

Indy_Werner

IMO the CS pic definitely has the turn or at least SOME brim warp effect. I tried to visualize that scene looking straight on, but it still seems that the left side is very different than the right side... in a Raiders way. When I first saw that shot in the film i was like "whoa". Maybe Be...

Indy_Werner

I'm supposed to receive mine by the end of the week. Forgot I ordered it in early october 07 and thought I ordered it in late november. Waiting makes you forget some things lol

This board is the only place where I love being wrong. lol

Indy_Werner

Yep, I know... in that pic it just looked like they threw in a lambskin jacket. Looking at it now i see it just wrinkles like lambskin just in THAT pic.

Indy_Werner

Look here... http://www.theraider.net/films/indy4/dvd_gallery_04.php
9th row down, second column. I have no idea if this has been debated before but that looks like a lambskin jacket to me.

Indy_Werner

Does anyone know how they actually tied the whip with fishing line to make it so secure? I tried it out and ended up tying the coil of the whip together on each side of the holder... with the fishing line being tied to the holder in between them. Seems to work real well but I wanna know what they ac...

Indy_Werner

Excellent! Thanks guys.

Indy_Werner

Haha.. counter productive, right? lol I've just been outta the loop on how to keep the whip from slidin in the holster without using a "slide proof" holder. I'm sure I can wire it or tie it in someway. Guess I need to experiment. Btw... how did they keep it attached to the holder in the fi...

Indy_Werner

Just recieived my CS whip holder from Wade Egan. It's beautiful, and just in time for halloween! I'll post pics as soon as I get back to my dorm, since I'm home for the weekend and regretably left it there. Now I just need to figure out how to tie my whip so it doesnt slide in the holder without usi...

My Best friend Recorded this on his DVR just to show me and wanted to get my opinion while watching it, since he knows how obsessed I am and he's not. At the first sight of it I said "no, this wasnt used in the films". Too shiney. Plus it was made in that natural dark brown, so it really c...

Fit fine to me. That's all I can say lol Only complaint I have is the buttons, but that's an easy fix.

Mike

I just got an off the rack size.

Indy_Werner

Yeah, I got one of those shirts that i THINK is the Singapore one and its a CS version. The buttons are threaded on very loosely and easy to pull out, but to me that doesnt matter since I'm having my mom replace 'em with brown ones I found. Otherwise the shirt is excellent for the price.

Indy_Werner

I'm patiently awaiting mine ordered in November of 07.

Indy_Werner

K... Here's the belt with full gear. Was gonna photoshop them into movie scenes but got lazy... lol

I've had the pleasure of recieving a CS/ToD strap from Mr. Wade Egan awhile ago and it's great, couldnt ask for more. So, I ordered a CS belt from him and got it about a week or so ago. Really great craftmanship and quality. I LOVE the color of this belt with the little nuances in the leather. Great...

Indy_Werner

Try maybe the scene where he pokes his head through the back of the truck to fire the RPG - I dunno if the hat's just cocked funny or actually turned, but you get the idea of what it would look like, either way. That's the scene that's always stuck out in my mind. Oak, Was it a particular scene? Ju...

Indy_Werner

If/when Indy comes back to the screen with an AB again, it'll give everyone on here at least ONE reason to go see it regardless of their opinion on CS.

Indy_Werner

I have a christy's and I have about a wave ONE federation, I think. I really cannot compare because, as i've grown, the federation has turned into a size and a half too small. BUT... I really love my christy's. If you plan on really wearing you're fed to its fullest then the christy's isnt the hat f...

Indy_Werner

Reading this thread makes me feel all fuzzy inside. lol

Indy_Werner

Man, I love the look in ur first pics.

Indy_Werner

Thanks to this post I finally got the info to do the collar. Just ran my older Wested lambskin under hot water from the faucet and gave the collar some curves. It's probably been discussed before and Ive been outta the loop with the jacket for awhile, but was the raiders jacket actually washed to ge...

Indy_Werner

It's a given that I love the raiders hat but I've always loved the ToD fedora as well, especially the bridge scene but also the village scene. I guess I just love how trashed and real adventurous the hat looks. CS I love as well. If I had to pick a scene, I'd say during the jungle chase or right whe...

Indy_Werner

I just got a S&W model 15 from my father as a gift and....... To me, it looks like this is one of the closest revolvers you can get to Indy's in a .38 caliber. Although it is a tad smaller because of the lower caliber.

Indy_Werner

I got mine in about a week once the new shipment arrived in. I measured my foot with one of those brannock devices AFER I sent back my original pair because of quality issues and realized I needed a narrower width. During the time I had to wait they offered to send me out some 9's because no 10s wer...

Indy_Werner

Because of the new film coming out, they've had a marathon of the original TV show on Sci Fi (first time I've seen it and u cant get any better with cheesy entertainment lol) But Uncle Jack's boots look very much like aldens. And they look to be in the color they come in now. They might not be at al...

Indy_Werner

Anyone ever walk on the beach with Aldens? I wouldn't call it a pleasant stroll... lol

Indy_Werner

Look at Indy wearin his Gray hat in CS. I like the off center look.

Indy_Werner

Ordered mine in Mid Nov of '07. I hope it gets here around my B-day in July, but I have a feeling I'm gonna be missing the wait just like how I miss the CS build up.

Indy_Werner

Alright, problem solved. Realized I had an Akubra Plainsman factory reject I got from my first visit at David Morgan. Although I know it can stand abuse, especially with the thick felt, Im willing to throw this thing into the pits of ####. I'm puttin a turn on it and givin it a leather band... It fi...

Indy_Werner

Thanks for the info... I'll have to be making some heavy decision making, hmmmm.

Indy_Werner

Me and my bud are going to making a short film based on the Roswell crash and I have this perfect dusty sandy pit to film some of it in. Since its set in '47 I figured I could use my Christy's. I was wondering how much wear I could put on it to make it look like a "trusty" fedora, with san...

Indy_Werner

Excellent. If you think theyre comfy now, just wait only a few days with regular wear. I've only had mine for around a week and they already feel conformed to my feet.

Indy_Werner

Congrats! Don't rush too fast, you dont wanna end in the hospital before you can see 'em lol Let us know how they are when you get to them

Indy_Werner

They have become my favorite piece of gear...now I'm up to 4 pairs and thinking of getting a pair done in snuff suede...We'll see though... Then you could do a Bill Cosby/Cliff Huxtable "I got one in suede too." everytime someone admires your other Alden's. :lol: Those look good! Nice pai...

Indy_Werner

So after 3 months of waiting after returning some badly stitched Aldens and then having to wait for the factory to produce the shoes after the bad leather outbreak, I finally got a great pair on saturday. Im breaking them in, threw some pecards on them. and they get more comfortable everyday. It was...

Indy_Werner

I'm really liking this hat. It's got a great color (light sable) and after reading about how soft the felt is, I was surprised at the stiffness. It seems along the same as my original federation, but I've pounded that thing over the years. As commonly discussed, the stitching on the ribbon is a litt...

Indy_Werner

Just got my C width Aldens today from Renners. They are perfect, except........ the top of my big toe slides down to touch the top of the boot, but the width feels pretty good. My toe isnt squished, but noticeable. I sent the original 10 D's back cuz they had some faulty stitching and seemed a littl...
