Has anyone contacted Tomek about a bag? He ordered a Mil-Tec one for me, and it's great!

afrayedknot

They look like the backpacks that have become popular on COW, but it's hard to tell from the pic on the website. But for the price, I'll probably be contacting you for an order soon.

afrayedknot

Has anyone looked at the bags tomek linked in his post? Any opinions?

From one of the horses' mouths? Because of Lash Larue. One of the distinctive b-serial hero's who frequently disarmed villains with his trade named tool, known as "The King of the Bullwhip." It's just a movie, gents. Y'all are a thinkin too much! :TOH: Agreed. I'm sure everyone is aware t...

It kind of begs the question, "Why did Indy carry a whip?" Okay. So, I guess we've established that a bullwhip isn't appropriate for protection against animals or humans. Sooooo . . . why did Indy carry a whip, again? ;) Can you think of a better way to swing across a bottomless (or lava ...

It seems like 8 ft. is the preferred length. What are the pros and cons of a 10-footer?

(Or, if someone wants to direct me to the appropriate thread, that's cool, too!).

afrayedknot

I said, "hypothetically." I'm really just trying to get a feel for the preferred length of a bullwhip withouth having to scour every page.

afrayedknot

So, hypothetically, if one were to carry a bullwhip around for this type of protection, what length would you want it?

(I'm sure there are multiple threads on the preferred length of a bullwhip, but I haven't looked through all fifty pages.)

I was only being partially serious . . . but it would still be cool to carry it backpacking . . .

I found the bear thread! http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31842&start=0&hilit=bears Hmmmm. . . . after reading the posts, it doesn't seem that the bullwhip offers much protection from larger predators. And I was trying to convince my wife that I had found a practical use for a...

IF I decided to carry one for this type of protection from wild animals, what would be the best length?

afrayedknot

I've decided to take up backpacking and I had the crazy idea to carry a bullwhip for protection from lions, and tigers, and bears. Is this a bad idea?

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just received my AB Deluxe in the mail. And in the immortal words of Belloq, . . . "It's beautiful!!!"

I will post pics as soon as I can!!!

Moviematt1989, I didn't take it the wrong way. I knew what you meant. Here's the latest email I received from Marc: your hat is ready, creased and packed :-) The Flying V on yours is one of the best I ever made and as I told you, the pouncing came out really, really nice as well, so I hope you'll lo...

I received an update from Marc on my AB Deluxe: I just finished pouncing your hat five minutes ago. We've been working hard to improve our pouncing technique furthermore over the last months. THIS one turned out PERFECT!!! It is so smooth, you'll almost need an magnifying glass to see it's actually ...

Has anyone had the sleeves let down on their jacket? I'm leaning towards having this done, and, if necessary, replacing the lining. I'm just wondering if there are any other concerns I need to take into consideration.

afrayedknot

Should I ask if they can replace the lining in the sleeves when they let it out?

afrayedknot

If I decide to let the sleeves out, other than the crease, should I be concerned about anything else?

afrayedknot

Does anyone remember who it was that had their sleeves replaced?

afrayedknot

By fractionally different, do you mean noticeably different? Would you notice the difference once the leather started to wear? Gemma also suggested letting the sleeves down, but mentioned there would be a slight crease. I'm leaning towards replacing the sleeves with a slightly different color, but o...

afrayedknot

Best advise I could give anyone is..... 1- tell Marc what style hat you want. 2- give him a accurate head measurement. 3- send him a couple of photo's most important 4- stand back and Let him do his work. That is what I originally intended, but I was thrown off a bit by Marc's e-mail. Thanks for th...

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding brim width, ribbon length, stitching on the sweatband, etc.?

If I send a picture of my face, will it help in determining the right brim width for my face shape?

afrayedknot

Okay, I just received an email from Marc. He's ready to begin making my fedora! Here's the email I received: Please read the foll owing instructions on how to measure and let me know your EXACT headcircumference and of course what hat you'd like me to make for you (Raiders, CS etc. etc. etc.).

Has anyone had sleeves replaced on a Wested because the sleeves were too short? I sent mine back to Wested for that reason, but the problem now is matching the color of the sleeves with the jacket. Has anyone had any experience with this situation?

Rather than start another horsehide topic, I hope you don't mind if I add a question directed at horsehide owners, and more specifically, motorcycle riders:

How would the horsehide hold up as a motorcycle jacket?

Jens,

got my backpack in the mail yesterday. The package looked like it went through heck and back. The backpack is in excellent condition, though. Thanks, for going through all that legwork.

afrayedknot

It's been two weeks and I still haven't received my bag . . . I tried to track my package, but for the past week, the only message I get is: Addressee: Item destined for abroad Status: Departure from outward Office of Exchange in Country of Origin Status from: 04.09.08 11:37 Process: Departure from ...

Thanks, Satipo . . . I hadn't considered that!

afrayedknot

Gemma was able to locate my jacket! Phew! That was a little bit scary! It is now safely in the Wested shop awaiting alteration. Just as Michaelson stated, the package can only be tracked until it reaches the Royal Mail Service, so although USPS says the package has been delivered, it hasn't reached ...

afrayedknot

I thought the sleeves on my Wested could be a little bit longer, so for my own peace of mind I sent it back on May 30th for alteration. I emailed Gemma today (June 17th) to see if they had received it but Gemma responded that they hadn't. I tracked it through the United States Postal Service, and th...

One of my MKVIIs holds my bible, a notebook, and a couple of pencils. My other, a couple of small books, some notes, and reference materials. But, I've been thinking. What items would you have to carry in your MKVII before it would be considered a purse? I purposely avoid carrying certain items to a...

How is the drape of the cuff on the boots? I've noticed that some of the pants are tapered and don't drape like they do in the movies.

Did anyone else see "U.S." either stamped or on a patch sewn onto the main compartment flap?

afrayedknot

All Indy has in KOTCS is an early version of todays military ruck sack. It's most likely canvas with 3 outside pockets, and leather straps. And of course the main opening. This shouldn't be too hard to find. Yeah. It looked like US military issue (at least I think that was a "US" stamped ...

I just received my gunbelt from Lee Keppler. It's a great belt, but for it to fit loosely over my hips, the prong has to go in the second hole from the tip of the belt. Indy's belt seems to go through much more than this. Should I get a longer belt? (I apologize if I'm not being very clear. It's 2 a...

Probably the last one (of the pockets). It was taken outdoors in natural light, but not in direct sunlight.

Jess - I really haven't had an opportunity to use the gussets, yet. I'll have to go out and perform some well-choreographed action sequences so I can provide some feedback.

I'm most likely going to wear my gear to the midnight showing Wednesday night, but I was wondering, what other days/times are appropriate to dress? Do people dress for matinees during the week, or is this sort of thing reserved primarily for weekend/evening showings?

Congrats on the jacket! I just got mine, too, but I haven't posted pics, yet! Hopefully tomorrow!

By the way, I guess this is the first pic I've posted of my new Wested Raiders lamb! Just got it yesterday! I'll post more in the appropriate forum.
