Just curious if anyone had any info?

I'll see if I can get some photos taken for you to see.
I'm also really glad I decided to go with the darker brown.

I wonder what configuration I choose for my next one

What happened to the pics?

Well, I think we need a "during" as well, if that's the case. Before, during and after?

That would be awesome! Just to see the expression on everyone's face!

Indy_1971

Okay for most of us the shear thought of sitting on our Fedora is an excruciating, painful thought (although we have been told that it improves the look and feel of the felt).
Some of you have done it. Others are thinking about it. There lies the challange.
Before and after. Post em if ya got em!

Indy_1971

Pleassssssssssssse don't change your design! SA all the way! The jacket looks great, don't change it! Honestly, all the people who posted pics wearing your jacket look great. And they seem to be all different shapes and sizes.

Indy_1971

Holt, please refresh my memory. What is the difference between the old style jacket and Todd's current offering??? Thanks!

What fit do most people order when ordering the Magnoli Indy Pant? ie; Loosely Fitting, Very Loose, Very Baggy
Also the crotch measurment confuses me since the Indy pant seems to have a longer crotch, how do you factor this into your order?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a big thread on it somewhere

Okay, awesome jacket. Been trying to find the thread. No luck. Can you provide the link?
Thanks.

Also, I'd really like to hear the story behind your Van Damme photo.

Hey Daren,
Suit looks great! Really like the color. Might get one myself as I have a wedding approaching as well.
Would you mind sharing the color?
Thanks!

Indy_1971

Thanks a lot Mitch! That was a big help. I'm always a little skeptical when it comes to measurement charts. Good to have someone verify its accuracy. Thanks again.

Indy_1971

Hey Daren and Mitch, I think I'm about the same size as both of you. Any chance you could post some measurements of the WPG M-L? If you have some spare time, I'd really appreciate it. Oooops! Daren might get to this fastrer than I can, '71... My shirt went in the wash about 10 minutes ago (and in a...

Hey I just did a search 'cause I was curious and this is what came up.
Seems like a good fedora topic to expand on.
Does weight loss or weight gain effect your hat size?
I thought the "Fedora Lounge" was generally considered a respected site???

Indy_1971

Most of the posts online seem to stem from the "Fedora Lounge"(Hat size change after weight gain/loss)
You can read all about it here.

Hope it doesn't seem like I was disagreeing. I wasn't. Just confused and looking for answers.

Who is she? :-k That works if you're looking to buy a hat off the shelf....but she never said HOW you FIND your actual hat size. :lol: As to her comment on sizing changes, sorry, I totally disagree with such a blanket statement as THAT one, and once again, as I prefaced in my first post, I'm speaki...

Lookin' good Riothamus!
I'm loving my AB more and more everyday!

Yeah Steve, as I told you in my email I'm really diggin' the fedora just the way it is.
Took a couple more pics (pushed the hat up a little) and I think it's lookin' pretty good. Very SOC. Just what I asked for!
Thanks again!!!

Indy_1971

Steve, would it be possible to take a little off the brim or would this ruin the fedora? I think my favourite fedora of yours is the one that your wearing in the photo with some of your equipment. Are your brim dimensions far off from mine? The brim doesn't seem to be as wide? http://www.indygear.co...

Indy_1971

Okay here's the thing. My ears are above my eyebrows. I have the same problem with any hat I wear. Baseball hats etc. This is why the hat sits wear it does. I have one of two options. A: My ears get pinched a little or B: My ears get folded. I have no other choice. If your ears are below your eyebro...

Indy_1971

I just took some pics outside and I think the natural light and Steve's suggestion (adding some brim droop) made a world of difference. Here's the pics.

Indy_1971

No, it doesn't drop right down. I have a big head and the hat actually feels quite snug, no matter where I place it higher or lower. I know the crown is suppossed to be quite high but if I wear the hat higher then it just seems gigantic. I have a big, long, shaved head with I suppose long ears as we...

Well it's supposed to rain tomorrow so I thought I'd post a few taken straight on that my wife took. I don't think I'm pulling it off? Something doesn't seem right or maybe it's just me. Confusion.

I will try and post some straight shots tomorrow.

Indy_1971

Ok, I've never posted a picture of myself or worn a fedora (so please be gentle). Just got my Adventurebilt! I need some opinions. Not exactly sure how it should look or if it looks right on my big noggin' Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. http://www.myphotos.yahoo.com/s/2192qrs75hour5k...

Indy_1971

They look exactly the same, aside from the color.
I believe the only difference is the inside of the boots are leather, like they used to make em.

Indy_1971

I know this has probably been addressed somewhere (sorry if I've missed it).
My question is are the Alden J Crew and the new 403's the same boot?
They sure look the same. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Indy_1971

But at double the cost of a regular pair of Aldens. Can you really justify paying that when all your looking at is basically a different color of leather and matching stiching. Seems a little excesive to me. Its confused me all along as to why Alden just won't make these modifications. The demand is...

Indy_1971

You have to be an Alden dealer in order to do this as a run, plus I don't think Marc would necessarily want to release his specs to other vendors. Wait a second. While I appreciate Marc's efforts in offering a SA Indy boot. The boots patent (specs) belong to "Alden". The boots look may ha...

Indy_1971

I don't know if this has been asked before but does the high price tag of 'Marc's AB Aldens" have anything to do with the exchange rate and shipping? I guess what I'm asking is would Alden make the same boot for North American buyers for a considerably cheaper amount. I can't remember how many...

Indy_1971

What about a petition of some sort sent to Aldens head office? There seem to be a lot of members here. Has it been done? Think it would do any good?

Indy_1971

I'm just curious if anyone has ever received an answer as to why Alden refuses to change the color of there boots. I have seen on the forum the SA Indy boots made by special order (with the hefty price tag) ;but I guess my question is why is it necessary to do this? I think it is safe to say that th...

Indy_1971

I found it!
It's a little bigger and the canvas is the best I have seen.
Saw a guy come into my work place with it today and just ordered one myself.
It's from the Tate Gallery in London. A great looking bag!!!
The picture does not do it justice.

Indy_1971

Man, that bag is perfect!
Except for the price tag! Ouch!!!

Indy_1971

No, I'm looking for a shoulder bag. It does need to be a bit bigger than a gas mask bag.
I know there are all sorts of army surplus shoulder bags out there, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations?

Indy_1971

Just wondering if anyone has a favorite (Indy like) travel bag, but maybe a bit larger?
I'm going on a big trip soon, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Could you please provide a link if you have one.
Thanks.

Indy_1971

I know some members have made some pocket flaps.
Can anyone provide the links for some examples.
Thanks!

Indy_1971

Just wondering how you sent your measurements in to achieve that Indy baggy look? What works best? It would be great if you could include a picture with the results.

Indy_1971

I'm not talking about the taper. I'm talking about the flare, at the bottom of the shirt. The taper is fine but why does it flare out so much at the bottom??? I own a lot of tapered "fitted" shirts and none of them do this?

Indy_1971

Let me first off say that I do like the shirt buttttt, does anybody else find it weird how the shirt tapers and then harshly flares out at the bottom??? Was this actually modeled after the original shirt because it doesn't look like that on film; at least not what I can see. Feels weird wearing the ...

Indy_1971

I take a size 11 in all my shoes. I first purchased a size 11 in Alden's and they were ridiculously big. Went down a half size and perfect. I found that with the wide sizing going down a half size with the widest width worked best for me.
