I am very glad to hear that steve is sending hats out. To me that means he is feeling a bit better and hopefully he can keep in good health. Take it easy Steve, dont work too hard man!

Speaking as a cancer survivor, the moment right after going into remission after treatments can be as brutal as the treatments themselves. Your immune system can be nearly gone. You have zero energy. You go around feeling sick, even if there is nothing wrong with you. It will take Steve several mon...

Just passed the 3 year mark for me a few days ago. I feel like we are all in this together or something I am still patiently waiting. I know it will be worth it for me. I wear a size 60 ( 24") head so I dunno if that will speed up my wait time or not.

Yea I guess I am confused on when people are getting their AB's and what is putting them ahead of other people? I have a 24" head almost exactly and I ordered a beaver SOC in may 08'. So I am confused as to why Indiana Williams would get his before me in "a few weeks" ?( I am just usi...

Hey there all, I recently got a Todds standard and let me tell you these jackets really are great, especially if you are going for the look and feel of Raiders. Anyways I gave the jacket the ol' "wet and wear til its dry" treatment and the aging from the treatment really made the jacket po...

bump. . . anyone?

Hey for those of you out there who have one of the newer Todd's standards I was wondering if you could help me out. I have been really confused by all I have been reading about some saying to get a size up or not to get a size up. I am a good 6ft and about 180ibs. athletic build with bigger shoulder...

Hey thanks fordperfect, That is really interesting and useful info. I appreciate it!

My intent was not to spark controversy as to what is SA and what is not SA. I simply thought if there were 10 people with 10 lists of what they thought was a SA Raiders then they could post them here if they wished and that would be it. The lists would just all be in one spot. I realize that there a...

Ok people don't start in w/ the hovitos darts just yet! I was wondering if people could just post specs they have given for their custom Raiders jackets. I figured it could be made sticky ( mods?) and we could avoid further questions regarding these issues in the future. I have been on here many tim...

Hey Steve, I am a late May 2008 order, and while the two year mark is drawing near on my wait, let me tell you:It is really ok. Obviously people all over the world want a handmade hat from you and that is a huge compliment to you and your incredible talents. The wait is all part of the game, we all ...

so correct me if i am wrong, but the new feds will feature a shorter crown than the last model, right??

Just as the topics says. I just got a ROLA standard size 44 but it is a bit short in the midsection and the sleeves, so i wondered if they sold a 44 Long for the same price?

Hi all, just got my wested standard lamb size 44 and i must say it is easily one of the most comfortable, if not the most comfortable, jacket i have ever worn. I love the jacket, but i feel that it is too short in the body. Depending on what pants i wear with it, the bottom of the jacket barely clea...

i ordered a standard wested lambskin on 3/7 and today being 3/17 i emailed wested and they said ship it by the begining of next week??>. I had emailed them prior to ordering and they told me it would be around 10 days for an off-the-peg jacket reach a destination in the states if it were outta stock...

thanks Borton!! Pecards is on the way and saddle soap is next on the list, and hopefully this puppy will be looking good in about a week and a half, or so. I had just taken the old popper off before i too those pics and a pile of new ones are ready to go! Thanks by the way for the friendly advice it...

BullWhipBorton, here are some pics. of the whip in question. A friend of mine decided he would attempt to use it on a blacktop like a parking lot one day so i am assuming that is what the stains are from as they are sort of black and i take better care of the whip that to use it on a surface like th...

Ok so I have 10' Strain Indy whip and the last several feet of the whip have accumulated a sort of stain on them. I have tried a number of things to remove the stains but nothing works. One thing i have not gotten is pecards so i will do that, but will pecards remove stuborn stains like this?

Hi there fellas, this is my first post on here, but i have been lurking around reading up for months, but have not found anything that i feel gives me the full picture when pertaining to the following questions reguarding hat bashing.... 1) when you guys talk about "turning" a hat,what exa...
