Yeah, that's what happens with D-Rings. Mine come off all the time on my US Wings.

If you'll notice in Last Crusade, Indy's straps are undone quite a bit, especially on the Tank. I don't think there's much you can do about it excepct secure them every once in a while.

Cooler King

Dang... I was ready to place my order for a Raiders Goat tomorrow morning. :( Oh well, a little delay won't hurt. I think this should be a testimate to Wested's quality control. They could have used the crappy leather and you might not have known, but good thing Peter sees the value in waiting and g...

When I was a kid, I wore a Member's Only Jacket for an Indy jacket...

There, I said it, are you happy?

Cooler King

Wow! Very nice IM!

I like the color version better, most ads in magazines like LIFE were color cause they were painted, I think. Nonetheless, I'm VERY impressed!

Can you post a hi-res printable one?

That would make one fancy book mark!

Cooler King

Oooo! It looks like a Twizzler, mmmm....

Very nice whip, once again: bravo Joe! Enjoy your new whip dude!

Cooler King

::cries::

It's, it's beautiful... You should be proud!

Cooler King

Take a second to re-watch the tank sequence in Last Crusade, you'll notice that when Indy is hanging off the barrel, there's a white spot on his fedora. Need I say more?

Cooler King

Looks like it's an 8 footer, right?

Is it just me, or does the fall look short?

Cooler King

Could be a Morgan or a Strain, or another vendor, not sure. Where'd you get these pics? Is this your whip? I wouldn't know what to look for to tell the difference, a lot of whips can look the same, but the knot at the end looks like it could be a Morgan (juding by the three plaits vs. only two). Tho...

Cooler King

That's a perty jacket you got there Blues!

Bravo on the destressing job, can this be done to a Flight Suits jacket?

Cooler King

I could be wrong, but I think he carried a 12 footer on his belt for looks, and cracked an 8 footer in the streets of Cairo scene. I thought he carried an 10 footer mostly and cracked an 8 footer, maybe 10 in some scenes. I know a 6 footer was used for the tank chase sequance in LC, but what you sa...

Cooler King

I really appreciate all the comments guys, it really is a great whip. :) It definitely is an easier whip to crack, though it takes some getting used to. And the natural hide is much better than my dark brown that I got my 6 footer in. Natural will take wear better than any other whip I have. I just ...

I ordered a new 10 Footer Raiders whip from Joe a week ago, and yesterday it finally arrived! I couldn't be happier with it. I've lived with a 6 footer that Joe made for 4 years, and I never knew what I was missing with a 10 footer. I've spent all afternoon re-learning to crack my new whip, and it's...

Cooler King

That's the first thing I'll do when I get my Aldens!

They look great, you can tell anything as been done to them from the side, very impressive. Thanks for sharing the pics, Blues!

Cooler King

I love the shirt Robert! Very nice!

I've gotten my arm very sore from cracking my whip a number of times but I've never injured it, atleast not that I recall...

Cooler King

I LOVE these boots! I can't wait for my feet to stop growing so I can finally get some!

Nice work with destressing guys. I find that taking a rock or a brick and taking the new off helps, but general wear and rubbing in some dirt here and there is the best way to distress boot.s

Cooler King

Just in time, I've got some money earned up and was hoping to get an Indy pistol. If it's accurate enough and the price is right I'd definitely be interested.

Do you have any more info?

Cooler King

If you need somebody to resize and/or host it, send me an email: aaron@theindyexperience I'd be glad to help.

Nonetheless, that's a VERY cool avatar!

Nice shirt Jerry, I might get me one...

Cooler King

About the reverse taper in the Cairo scenes: you can see while Indy is putting Sallah's children in the truck that there is a very distinct dent on the side of the hat, only visible from a certain angle. This could be one of the causes of the Reverse taper. Though I've found that pushing down on the...

Chestnut is the color I have, and is the screen accurate color as far as I know. Very nice glasses indeed.

Cooler King

There was actually a huge stone craving sitting there before I took the picture, that accounts for all the dust!

Good to know these really are as screen accurate as you can get, I couldn't be happier!

Looks good. Once your ears get toughened up to the cables, you'll REALLY enjoy them. If you've never worn cable ear pieces before, prepare for some discomfort for a short period of time.

I've never worn a pair of Aldens, but I've worn shoes without any treads, and it was very difficult to walk in them, I wouldn't want to go hiking in them. If you get a pair Aldens, you'd probably have to get some treads put on, though I'm no expert on Aldens, so don't take my word as the Gospel. I j...

Cooler King

very importent is that the end of the fall have no taper. The end of fall (last 1/8") should be cut a little bit wider. If you have a real sharp knife (razor blade sharpness) you can cut the fall very easy. After this preparation you can pull the popperknot very close to the end of the fall - ...

Oh yeah, the suit's nice too... hehe, just picking. Really, it's a beautiful suit, congrats Matt, looks sharp my friend.

I concure, a tightened ribbon is required. I noticed the dent on the left of the Fedora when I first got my Fed, (as I was attempting to get the perfect bash, I must have rewatched Raiders 20 times) I noticed the dent, especially in the bar scene right after the truck with marion blew up. I put the ...

Got a bit of a weird question... I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the leather on the US Wings Vintage Cowhide wrinkle? I've done just about everything I can to it, but I can't get it to destress as far as the leather getting good and worked in. I've had it for over 2 years now but I can't ...

ROCK ON PETER!

Man, I have got to me one of these!

You'll definatlly be getting an order from me! Any idea how much the shirts will be? (forgive me if I missed something...)

Cooler King

Color is excellent, the style is excellent, a lot closer than some, but the soles are indeed to thick. But that can be taken care of with a sander...

How good a quality are these boots? Are they well put together? And what kind of leather is it?

If you have any info online, please share!

Cooler King

Wow... That is somethin' else!

Very nice work, I'm impressed. I'd love to see your other leather whips as well. How long did it take you to complete the whip?

Sounds like a heck of a father/son project! Excellent work!

Cooler King

I'd make it an option, but still offer the original. Don't mess with perfection...

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Cooler King

Doh... One of the many side-effects of Indy Gear.

By any chance do you have a link to the shoes online?

Cooler King

I'm not suggesting, it's the truth. It's a common fact that the character 'Fedora' in LC was actually Abner Ravenwood. :) ...Eh? When did this happen? Where was the memo? :shock: I thought everyone knew! I don't have actual proof, but among most Indy fans, Fedora was infact Abner. Anyone out there ...

Cooler King

So your suggesting that the hat given to Indy at the beginning of the Last Crusade was from Abner Ravenwood? :-k Never thought of that connection before....very interesting. They just list the guy in the credits as "fedora." Could that also be way all the hats in the young Indy movies loo...

I just went to a local shoe shop and got some dark brown leather dye and rubbed it on directly. It's worked perfectly, haven't had to mess with it since, just some pecards jell now and then.

I have two PB customs, one with in a Raiders style and the other in a Temple of Doom. I do plan on getting one in a Last Crusade style sometime in the next few months. I actually wear them both, though not at the same time. I also have the three different styles jackets. BTW, Cooler, in Raiders Ind...

No worry at all, just wonder if it's possible to fix, plus I need to know what gule you can use on felt.

Only one Fed for me...

Indy only had one fedora, and that's all I'll ever have...

Just my opinion

Cooler King

Well, the information that comes with most bullwhips state that a whip is not a toy. And since the opposite of toy is weapon, so I would have to say... YES! :lol: :P In the right hands, the whip can be a deadly and effective weapon, and the best thing about it - it's a dissarming weapon (as Indy's s...

Alrighty, let's see if I can't explain this... :) http://www.theindyexperience.com/image/sweat_band.jpg What you are looking at is a regular Akubra Federation sweat band where the glue has come un-done on the edge.

Ehh, just to clarify; I was talking about the LINER, not the sweatband. But since you had to IRON it, I suppose so were you?
