That's a sweet fedora! You ordered yours in November 2007 and received the new pyramid-logo liner? That gives me hope, because I really want that liner in my hat, and I heard that Steve wanted to get rid of all of the Ra headpiece liners before using the new ones. As I understood it, everybody who ...

IndianaLV

I'm waiting for my October 07 order. Patience is the key. It will get here sooner or later.

IndianaLV

That's a nice looking jacket! When I ordered my jacket I thought of HH too, but decided to go with washed goat eventually. I experienced similar problems with Wested though: I ordered the nickel zipper, but got the brass one. They even forgot to put in the gussets I wanted. ](*,) :x It's still a nic...

IndianaLV

If Bogart can pull it off, then you can too!

I wouldn't care. It's an adventurers hat, it's supposed to look that way.

IndianaLV

Steve, I only have two words: Thank You. That's for everything you've done, doing, and will be doing. You truly are a grand contribution to this group. I second that. Steve does a magnificent job, and his products are worth waiting for. As for me, I ordered a hat in October 2007, and I just don't c...

IndianaLV

That looks so much better than the previous version. Good work!

Yeah, they are still out of stock. I hope the new batch of hides arrives soon, though.

IndianaLV

I ordered a ROLA custom with Holt's collar and yolk a week ago. I hope it looks as good as Holt's does.

IndianaLV

Wonderful new block indeed, looks superb! In my eyes this might be the closest thing we will get to the raiders hat. Nice work!

That's what I did, I hope he notices it.
Steve, if you read that... You've got mail.

IndianaLV

I'm close to 16 months now, and next month we are moving. I need to contact Steve on that, it's quite difficult to organize something like a move-out if you have a hat on order.

I hope everything goes well, I don't want some stranger to receive my AB.

IndianaLV

Any new AB's lately?

regards,
Lukas

IndianaLV

Looks like a Henry to me. I'm not sure though.

IndianaLV

ST, I doubt that you will receive yours before January. I ordered in October, and as far as I know, Steve is working on the August orders right now (correct me if I'm wrong). Of course it's not impossible for your hat to arrive before your trip to Angola, but I'm afraid it's unlikely. best regards, ...

IndianaLV

Wow, one of that would be the perfect christmas present I could get for myself.

Holt, your jacket looks darn nice, and it's spot on if you ask me. I would be more than just interested to order one from Wested. Great work!

best regards,
Lukas

IndianaLV

I'm on almost 15 months right now. To quote Henry Jones Sr. (sort of): "Only the patient man will pass..." ;-)
I ordered on 10/09/07.

IndianaLV

Jens, I would be extremely happy if you could add my name to the list, if that's okay. I just can't find one of the original bags anywhere near me, and I tried to find one for months...

Thanks,
Lukas

It might be that the older versions had this two-piece-strap, but mine has not. I guess that detail was changed in the meantime.

IndianaLV

Straight as a stovepipe, and a darn nice hat if I might say so... Good job on this one Steve!

IndianaLV

I have to agree with McFly, looks more like a Raiders holster to me.
It could be longer because it's not an exact copy. Who knows, maybe they tried to replicate the Raiders holster, but decided it needed to be longer because of the shape of the gun used in that movie?

Interesting find.

IndianaLV

When I bought my bag, I noticed that the interior was removed and that there are no inside pockets anymore. I can't use it on a daily basis because of all the small stuff I use to carry around with me... Though it's not SA (You don't see the inside pockets anyway) I don't miss them. Maybe I should b...

IndianaLV

Congrats Maelstrom! When did you place your order?

best regards,
Lukas

IndianaLV

Wow, that is a fine jacket you've got there! Right now I'm tempted to give my Todd's a good hot water treatment as well... I gave it a water treatment some time ago, but just with cold water, and it didn't get soaked completely. Did your jacket shrank after drying?

Best regards,
Lukas

IndianaLV

Steve, Marc, thanks for clearing things up! The AB-Story is always a great read. You could fill books with it, and I would be first in line to buy one. :lol: [...] at the Indygear summit in Hamburg [...] It's a shame that I was not into gear collecting back then, and therefore didn't knew about COW....

IndianaLV

What is the name of the color? It also looks so thin at the end of the thong. Is it very fast? It's natural tan with a coat of shellac. As far as I know the shellac comes off while cracking the whip... As for the end of the thong, I'm not a whip expert, but as far as I can tell it's quite fast. :lo...

IndianaLV

Today is a special day. One year ago I ordered my AB from Steve.
Could be any week now... I just need to be patient.

Wah, don't listen to me! I want that lid, and I want it now!

IndianaLV

It's a 8 ft., 12 plait roohide whip.

best regards,
Lukas

IndianaLV

My 8 ft. Giovanni Celeste whip arrived. it arrived, it arrived! :) And the good thing is... I love it! http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg295/LVskywalker/web_COW.jpg This is my very first whip, and I have to say that it cracks really easily. I have to wait 'till tommorrow to crack it in though... ...

IndianaLV

No logo at all, as far as I'm informed.

Lukas

IndianaLV

Looks like saltwater.
I tried that with my old Mayser (You could call it the "German Dorfman"), and it turned out looking pretty scruffy.

regards,
Lukas

IndianaLV

Guys, that are some nice lids you've got there... tasty, but dare you to eat them!

Can't wait to order one in the future.

IndianaLV

Yeah, my vote goes to Penman and/or AB "Henry". I've seen some Penman's which looked extremly crystal skullish, and the Henry seems to be a pretty perfect copy of the Adventurebilt. I guess you could pull off the KotCS-look with both of them.

best regards,
Lukas

hey, that sounds great, thanks for the info!

That means I might receive my AB before christmas after all.

@tunic:
How long did it take for your pair of pants to arrive? I ask because I ordered one about 5 weeks ago, but haven't received anything since then.

@Han Jones:

Wow, your KotCS gear is spot on! Looks great...

IndianaLV

yes, I reversed them myself, it's a bit more comfortable for me.

Would it be more screen accurate to reverse them again?

IndianaLV

just curious from the time you ordered it to your door step how long did it take? The time I ordered, the jackets were still out of stock. I preordered and had to wait three months or so before it arrived. The shipping itself (from California to Germany) took a little bit over a week if I recall co...

IndianaLV

Thanks guys! :) BTW how did you dry the jacket to get it to shrink?,the sleeves on my standard are about 1/2 inch too long. Well, I tried to dry it as slow as possible. I believe the jacket might shrink A LOT more if you use a dryer or something similar, that's why I put the jacket on a coathanger a...

IndianaLV

Hi there, I just realized that I haven't posted any pics of my Todd's standard in XL yet. Originally I had planned to let it distress naturally, but it looked just too new and shiny for my taste, so I threw it in the bathtub for a few seconds. :lol: I guess during the process of drying it shrank qui...

I'm a 7 1/2 too.

I ordered one yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive. I knew about how the pocket-flaps were not SA, it's quite a surprise to see that they changed the pattern. it's still not 100 % SA, but it looks much better now. @Falco09: 4-5 days from London to Chicago? That's fast. :shock: I thought mine wo...

Marc my friend, that hat looks just GORGEOUS!
If you keep the quality on this level, I'm sure that I'm going to order one sooner or later. I never thought it would look that good.

IndianaLV

I read the article yesterday, and it's just great. Marc bought his first hat in Hamburg... very interesting. That means this insane hatter thing started here, in my hometown.

Again, congrats guys!

Hm... with that green slime on his head, his hear doesn't look grey at all.

IndianaLV

I remember when I did the interview two weeks ago, I wanted to make 100% sure that Steve wasn't left out - which is a lot easier in front of a camera then on a written interview. I think I overdid it a little, 'cause after half an hour the interviewer asked me to say "we" instead of "...
