Mine are from the original offer as well (as are your broken-in pair).
I'm also curious about the inner logo difference.
I also recall Marc mentioning a possible COA which I would still love to see!
Great looking Boots!

Tron7960

Great hat and great pics!

Tron7960

Congratulations! Always my favorite piece of Indy Gear!

Tron7960

Best deal? I don't know. Comfortable? OH YEAH!

Thanks!, Ya I tuck em in but no surefire risk free ride!

Tron7960

Anyone else ride in their Aldens?

I've found them to my favorite boots to ride in. (haven't taken the road to Berlin yet but around here they are doing the job!)

Tron7960

I've seen many non-Indy fedoras that I've admired, but not many I could picture myself wearing. This Sahari Raiders is definitely one of the exceptions!

Beautiful as always

Adventurbilt VS. Peterbilt.

Don King could sell it on pay per view!

Nice!

Tron7960

When I've flown with my AB, I've packed it. I always roll my clothes as opposed to folding them, and this allowed me to create a space in which the crown can sit. I just set the hat crown down and build around it. I ensure the brim is flat, and fill the inside with whatever fits, keeping the hat wel...

It's been posted before, at least I'm pretty sure I've seen it before on COW. Amateurish perhaps, but I liked it.

Here's my 3 year old Eastman Leather Co. repro of the Roughwear 1401-P

Tron7960

I've got an Eastman A-2, and several G-1's including a 1968 Star Sportswear. Great Jackets with classic designs. But for me the Indy jacket design is far more comfortable and flattering for most occasions that I'll find myself in.

Tron7960

This brings me closer to placing the order!

Tron7960

Beautiful pics and Beautiful gal to match. Congratulations and all the best!

Tron7960

Thanks guys.

Truly a matter of being in the right place at the right time that allowed me to become the proud owner of this Delk masterpiece!

Tron7960

Well I bought a federation before managing to grab a previously enjoyed AB from the Cairo Bazaar. To me it's the perfect embodiment of a Raiders hat and for now I'm satisfied. But of course there are other Indy hats to have including my Magnoli HJ and an AB KotCS that will show up when it shows up! ...

Wested TOD after 6 months of wear and tear!

Tron7960

Welcome to COW.

Enjoy your new hat and be sure to post pics when you get the chance.

Although some may judge you by the hat you wear, my experience here is that most will judge you by how you conduct yourself and how you treat others.

It's a very welcoming and supportive community!

Tron7960

My AB Aldens even make me TALLER!

Tron7960

My kids would think these were great.

It is Disneyland after all.

Just sayin' not everybody needs a real fedora.

Tron7960

1) Boots, AB Aldens
2) Jacket, Wested TOD (despite it's dubious pedigree and buckles)
3) Shirt, Magnoli Adventure Shirt in stone
4) Hat, AB Raiders SOC bash
5) Boots, regular Aldens ( yeah, I know that's twice, but I love my Aldens)

Tron7960

Congrats! Definitely my favorite piece of gear!

Tron7960

I'm not that clued up on the shirt side of things.Are Noel Howard or Adventurebuilt shirts available ? Also what does anyone think of the Magnoli ? Thanks. I've got a Wested, (nice but way baggy), a Todd's ( too small, looks good on my wife), a NH, (a beauty, but too rare to wear), and a Magnoli. M...

Tron7960

Living in Winnipeg, I believe I can provide some input on the ice and snow component of your question. Aldens will look great with your business attire, while walking down the icy/snowy path. They just will make it difficult to stay vertical. Not to say it can't be done, just that people tend to jud...

Tron7960

Not the best pics (I'm actually telling my daughter to stop playing with the camera in this one) but it shows I'm wearing my AB Aldens with dark brown suit pants. I had been wearing the jacket and tie earlier, so I'm of the opinion that these work. I've also worn my brickish colored Aldens with a da...

Tron7960

I support the idea of going down a size with Wested. My Medium fits like a Large.

Tron7960

Once while wearing my Eastman Leather A2 I had someone compliment it and state that it looked like an "Indiana Jones jacket". http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2172/2370300674_f6987aed4f.jpg And once while I was wearing my Wested RotLA I had a buddy comment that I was wearing an "Indiana...

Tron7960

Congarats! Looking forward to more pics after she starts to break in!

Tron7960

Very nice! I especially like the back panel!

Tron7960

They're beauties! Congratulations.

Tron7960

Nice work!

I think it looks great!

Tron7960

Sweet jackets! Nice to see more of them rolling in.

Tron7960

I haven't worn it in hot or even warm weather yet so I can't say how comfortable (or not) it will prove to be, but I rather like how it slips on and off. I also didn't want any significant difference between the real deal and my replica, so I'm happy.

Tron7960

Right, but usual times for a custom is 21 days.....this TOD jacket has taken MUCH longer than that. I really hope it'll be worth it.

Congrats again. Lots of character to this one. Can't wait to see pics of others.

This is me 3 weeks ago.

I chose not to wear my Aldens.

Tron7960

Here's the fit over a t-shirt.

Tron7960

I love this picture. It's how I picture the TOD jacket in fit and drape. If it fits almost as a leather shirt, I suppose that's not far off from the look and fit I want, so for me, Peter and staff did a fine job.

Tron7960

The heat's off me now!

Ya, let's see it on.

Tron7960

Arm is 14" flexed, but a natural flex. Don't plan on doing a lot of work-outs in this jacket, so not pumped up, just the natural flexion and extension of arm. Jacket is 15-1/2 at this point, but of course is itself flexible as the leather has give. So no, not tight to my standards. Also the nyl...

Tron, As long as we're scrutinizing, what's your bicep circumference? You wrote that you can fit a hoodie under your jacket, and RC claims that his jacket fits like a leather shirt. Of course, you probably have different builds, but I'm curious if I should specify my upper arm circ., or go a size u...

I've always received my Wested orders ridiculously fast. There may be some kind of worm hole connecting the Wested shop and my door.

There has to be some payoff to living in Winnipeg.

Tron7960

I'm really surprised that so far I'm the only one to post receiving one of these.

Tron7960

Tron, beautiful work on the jacket over the last couple of days. it looks like you aged it several years......eventhough you should of made it look 'newer' because.....technically it is a jacket from 1935 when your first got it right?........oops, there's my alarm....time for my meds ;-) great work...

Tron7960

...I should just edit, but anyway...Tron, how's the arm movement? I like my LC jackets, but always felt the armholes were oddly placed, and didn't allow as much movement as I would have liked. I've hoped this and perhaps Raiders jackets would not have the same problem. Please let us know. Arm movem...
