Club Obi Wan

Bemo

Looks great! I'm thinking of taking the same strategy myself.

Bemo

Beautiful! Out of curiosity, and I seriously mean this in the most respectful manner possible, but how much did you try and contact him over the last few years? I've purposefully not contacted him due to the extenuating circumstances but I'm afraid I'll be forgotten if I let it go too much longer wi...

Bemo

I know those skinny brims are technically fedoras but they're definitely not for me. I can't pull off that look. At least it's not the ever-present baseball cap.

Bemo

I have no words.

Bemo

How cool! Did you buy a hat?

Bemo

Looks great! Is this a vintage hat re-blocked? I didn't think anyone made mercury-cured felt anymore. Probably just demonstrating my ignorance.

Bemo

What a great story! Congrats!

Bemo

So are you making a reservation list for bags with and without the tag?

Bemo

Thanks KT! And those are the shoulder straps? I'm sorry should have been more specific. No need to take more pictures, just trying to get a sense of the robustness of the shoulder straps.

Bemo

Thanks KT,
A favor if you will, could you post a pic of the straps? I'd like to see the thickness if possible. But who am I kidding, I'll get one anyway.

Bemo

Looks like this is out of stock also. Well I guess I hesitated too long.

Bemo

Thanks for the mini-review. I would be interested in one of these Nihil if you get another batch.

Bemo

Sorry I'm late to the party but excellent hat john! I'm seeing more and more hats in shows these days and to know that you made the hat in one of my favorite shows....

Bemo

$75 is nothing in the world of custom or semi-custom pocket knives. Check out Chris Reeve knives or an Emerson folder.

I forgot about the Linder, I may have to pick one of these up. Of course, I need another knife like I need another jacket....

Bemo

Nice pockets!

Bemo

Yeah, I emailed him like you Lingarn and have received no answer as well. At this point I'm not concerned about the hat (although I would like it) but am really concerned about his health and well-being. I've seen a number of folks who have gone through what he has over do it and end up really sick....

Bemo

Sorry to go a little off-topic, but are the Steranko drawings available as posters anywhere? I've googled and not found anything. Jim Steranko has a website but it's not commercially oriented.

Bemo

According to Google, that's about $35 USD (not including shipping). I'd be in for this if shipping is reasonable.

Bemo

And I just want to say, as reprehensible as I find the flying monkeys, (I hope this doesn't get sensored) that's a #### fine hat Steve!

Bemo

Indiana Jeff wrote: Of course, there's still the lingering story of her sitting on the hat to break it in so she may have had a hand in shaping it.

Hmmm, then she really DIDN'T have a HAND in shaping it

Sorry, long day and a little snarky.

Great questions though!

Bemo

Surprised Holt hasn't weighed in here, he's a regular user of the leather stimulant/narcotic.

Bemo

Awwww (looks around to see how many watches he can sell, hey how much is blood going for these days........)

Bemo

I thought John was officially out of the re-block business for hats other than his own. But with a story like that he may make an exception.

Perhaps Garrison Hatters might re-block as well.

Best of luck to you.

Bemo

That's hilarious Chewie

!

Bemo

Actually I think the pack is more authentic to the time period of Crystal Skull than the one they used in the film. It's a great piece and really looks good.

Bemo

Wow! Those are something else.

I don't think they're the same pack. I think those are actually older. From the little research I did, these were issued to the mountain patrol. The straps on the side are for an ice ax.

Hmmm.... decisions decisions

Bemo

Not ready for that yet here in Idaho but this will be a nice entry into straw hats for me. Hard to find anything other than cowboy hats around here. Thanks for the info!

Bemo

TundraRaider, from one tundra and G&B owner to another. Looks fantastic. Mine is quickly turning into my go to jacket. I wonder if G&B flies under the raidar (yes, I meant to do that) is because there's no drama and its the SAME JACKET EVERY TIME! No threads of "If I could get them to m...

Bemo

Maybe it will be a good thing the site will be taking a Christmas/New Year's break....

Bemo

Hmmm... well many products he carries are what I would term "fashion" jackets. Granted some of the military-inspired canvas hoodies are not made by his company, but they're still "fashion" jackets. And to be fair, I believe Magnoli makes a version in goat. But Sarge has the econo...

Bemo

There's a Monty Python skit in here somewhere

Bemo

Thanks Weston! That a size Large?

Bemo

Oh Weston.....

Not to push...

But that Bison jacket review....

Bemo

Gorgeous jacket and perfect fit! Too bad G&B or USWings doesn't make one of these.

Bemo

Can you make felt out of cat fur?

My condolences for the hat Darth.

Bemo

Wow Wade! Prototype looks pretty good. I personally would prefer a clip instead of a belt loop. And I would suggest a deeper scallop cut away to reach the phone (if that makes any sense). But love it!

Bemo

I'm with you CM, Good Wear makes a half-belt but that's just too steep for me. But G&B... well now I could scrape pennies together for one of those.

Bemo

Any info on how this leather is different from the antique/naked cow on the Hero series? Not that I need another jacket....
well of course after the bison legend, but yeah, that's it, really.

Bemo

Wow Wade, I agree that upper left design rocks!

Bemo

Well the Pecards certainly wouldn't hurt.

The leather may relax enough with the Pecards to allow you stretch out the pleats again. Really, at this point what do you have to loose? Pics may be instructive to all of us.

Bemo

Very nice!

Bemo

Wow, what a tough question! I think it really depends on what customer base you're trying to attract. If you want to expand beyond the Indy fan-atics, then I would surmise the improved fit will be desired. Myself, I'd vote to keep it SA, quirks and all; too refined of a jacket does end up losing som...

Bemo

fantabulous!

Bemo

Looks fantastic Marc!

I'll take that "ruined" hat off your hands, least I can do to help out.

Bemo

Greetings! You don't show any pics w/jacket zipped so any fit advice will be necessarily compromised. That being said, I agree with Ron, and my measurements are similar to yours and I have two USWings in Medium and wear a 42 or a 44short suit jacket. Like Ron said, the biggest difference will be in ...

Bemo

Pretty interesting seeing Bink's avatar right now and Kelly's back to back. Can almost hear the pipe organ.....

Oh, _, you wouldn't still have Grandpa's kettlebells would you? I'd love to find an old vintage set.

Bemo

Business is ultimately about relationships, and relationships are about communication.

Since this horse is ready to be made into a jacket, perhaps locking this down unless/untill Mr. Barrie wishes to respond might be wise?

Bemo

Hey John, that jacket looks great! And the hats not bad either

Bemo

I may have to re-re-submit my order. Please, no more really cool exotic hides

Bemo

I thought there were hints that he had been given a recent USWings? It was about the time the Hero was coming out. I'm probably mistaken.
