Hi everyone. Like many of you have already done, I get to meet John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) at out local Calgary Ent. & Comic Expo this April. I'm also a huge Indiana Jones autograph collector, and want to get Mr. Rhys-Davies to sign a red fez/tarboosh just like the one he wore in the Last Crusade....

Jonny Whip Crack

I'm going to guess Keppler...just throwing it out there.

Jonny Whip Crack

Me personally, I would only go with glass, as acrylic scratches. Also notice that this company offers a name plate to go with it.....perfect for your Indy details (made by, which movie, etc...)

A little expensive, but check this one out. The inside dimensions would fit a fedora just nicely with room to spare. I'm thinking of getting one myself for my AB CS http://www.crystalcaseworks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=FIRE-201&Category_Code=FIRE" onclick="...

Thanks for the reply Peter. My intention was to gt a close to the original as possible, and it looks like I achieved that. I prefer satin in the sleeves for my jackets, but for this jacket, cotton is fine as I wanted costume accuracy.
Enjoy your holiday.

Cheers
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

That's funny. I originally received a Hero with satin sleeves and the regular Wested label (not the Leather Consessionairs), so I sent it back. It was my simple understanding that the entire lining was to be cotton so I mentioned that, and that's what I got in my replacement. Was the original not al...

Jonny Whip Crack

Hi everyone, sorry if this has been covered as I haven't read the entire thread. Is the inside lining of the Hero suppost to be all cotton including the sleeves. Wested's site simply says 'The lining is cotton silesia .' Or, have some of you received satin in your sleeves? Mine is all cotton. Just c...

Jonny Whip Crack

Looking at his web page, and other items on it, I now know I've been in his shop. It's in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. I even took a picture of another Indy item he has up, the grey suit worn in the last crusade. From what I remember, this suit looked too small for Harrison Ford. You figure if...

Jonny Whip Crack

Looks great! I also love the Jason Palmer photograph you're infront of. I have the same one!

Cheers
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

I rotate mine all the time. Actually none of my Jackets have sat on a hook longer than a few weeks. Some are warmer than others, and some much lighter, so you could say I have a Wested for all seasons.

Jonny Whip Crack

Congrats! You'll love the Novapelle. I own a LC Novapelle with black satin lining and I love it. Oh, and I'll block Wested on your computer if you block it on mine.... I own 7 Wested's. A mix of Raiders and LC in different skins. I love 'em all!

Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

SWEET! Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'll check with Wade and get the ball rolling (Indy punn not intended).

Cheers all.

Hi guys and gals. I have a Keppler bag strap that is very 'Raiders' in color. I'm looking to buy a bag strap that is the dark brown color as seen in the Last Crusade. Anyone in here have any suggestions as to who makes these? I remember once seeing a fellow COW member who made whip holders and such ...

Jonny Whip Crack

Just my 2 cents...I also find that taking a wide (1/2 - 3/4 inch) elastic and cutting it to be not continuous, and then placing it flat under the sweatband, one on each side, or one at each end (depending on where you prefer), this helps a bit for those that need a minor adjustment as I did. The ela...

Jonny Whip Crack

Hey all. Just a quick post. Last new years eve, my then Fiance (now wife) and I were in Las Vegas celebrating. It was crazy busy and a blast. On a walk on the Vegas Strip that night, we saw a camera and camera light, so me being me, I decided to go up to the camera with my 2 beers a 'pose' for the c...

Jonny Whip Crack

Mr. Penman. Good to hear from you. I ordered this hat box from you and an Adventurebilt one from Sarah's hat boxes. If you remember, I paid you for your box, but they were going to combine shipping and send both directly to me. I called them 3 weeks in a row when I got back from my wedding, and they...

Jonny Whip Crack

My first hat was an AB that I got off Ebay. I needed it for my trip to Europe. Since then, I now own 4 Adventurebilts, 1 Penman, and several Fed IV's (one in Grey, 2 in Brown). My now wife ordered me a grey Penman shaped CS for a wedding gift. Can't wait to get it. I rotate all my hat...just last ni...

Jonny Whip Crack

Thanks everyone. Beaverlid, thanks for the photo. I'm pretty sure that the one side just needs a lift to make each side even in height, then the front of the brim will swoop properly. From what I can see Beaverlid, your CS hat is even in height on both sides, and watching the movie today, it appears...

Jonny Whip Crack

Hi everyone. I'm finally able to post pics of my CS fedora so I thought I'd ask a questions with regards to the styling that I've been meaning to for a while. Here's the link to the pictures (some with flash, and no flash): http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=164505&id=666945478&l=cd11e26b...

Jonny Whip Crack

Very nice looking hat! I'm thinking of getting one myself. What color did you order to best get the indy look? I see they offer many colors.
Cheers
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

John, I just tried to buy one, and the shipping to Alberta, Canada was also $137 US. I quickly removed the item from the cart. Something's wrong with that. Ever AIR FEDEX would be about $80.
Guess we'll see if anything changes.
You still have some?

Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

Oh yeah....and Steve, if you wnat to put the Turn in my other Raiders, please feel free. I have one more AB on order with you that should be up very soon. I think I'd love to have another one with the Turn, especially if it means less taper.
Take care.
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

Thanks both of you. Steve, you're correct, it is I who is sending a hat back to you...you should have it in 6 business days. Check it out...perhaps I'm crazy, but I would value your opinion. And yes, I asked for no turn in my Raiders hat. The most recent AB you sent me is gorgeous... I think I have ...

Jonny Whip Crack

Hi everyone. If this has been covered, forgive me. Having recently sent a hat back to get re-blocked due to (in my opinion) too much taper, possibly from shipping and settling, I'm curious what you guys and gals have done to fix taper on your own. Any tried and true stories out there? I've read and ...

Jonny Whip Crack

Can I ask when you originally ordered this hat?
Cheers
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

I would love to see some pics of the inside of the hat box myself. I may just have to purchase a couple.

Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

Thanks for the speedy responses guys. If my memory serves me correct, I remember Steve also saying that he makes his hats a few hairs larger than the size requested to account for minor hat shrinkage and propper forming. I may be wrong. I'll just wait for the first one to arrive and see how it fits,...

Jonny Whip Crack

Hi everyone. I hope this hasn't been covered, but I'm facing a little confusion. I have several fedoras that I have purchased, with different sizes due to metric system and so forth. I have an AB that I got off ebay and I was told it was a size 60cm. I have a couple Fed IV Deluxes and a Todds costum...

Jonny Whip Crack

I too would love to see it. I have one on order, LC with black satin lining and (hopefully) screen accurate pocket placement (2 - 2 1/2 inches from bottom). Should be SWEET! I'll post if I get soon.
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

Hang in there. As said, you will see your hat. I ordered 2 at the end of '07, and still nothing, but it's my understanding that he is somewhere between Sept and Dec when many orders to be made my a one man operation, so I've learned to be patient and keep an eye on any word on what month he's curren...

Jonny Whip Crack

Check this out. Looks like a pretty good Raiders if you ask me...... and a pretty neat experiment to boot (don't try this at home).

Hi Everyone. I've read a few posts on the infamous "Turn" on the Raiders fedora.... and I must say, I'm not a fan. I've seen a few pics, and some look like the hat is completely on sideways!. Now I do own a Raiders AB that I got off ebay a year ago, and it has a slight turn, but it is less...

Jonny Whip Crack

Sweet hat Airforceindy...looks awesome. I too ordered in Sept '07 (20th).... that means soon. If mine looks a good as that, I'll be on cloud nine when it arrives

Congrats!!

Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

Thanks guys, I can't wait to join the club of owning a Penman. I don't mind the wait... you can't rush perfection.

$\:D/$
Cheers
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

I DID IT! I placed an order for a LC Penman. Let the wait begin. I'll post pics when it arrives.

Jonny Whip Crack

....sorry, one question. I see on the AB webpage that the Henry only comes in full sizes. Does that mean a 7 1/2 (23 1/2 inches) is out? Or is in in centimetres ? (a 60 would do me just fine!).
Thanks
Jon

Jonny Whip Crack

I'd be very interested in a Henry. Just let me know when you'd like payment and how to send size and bash info.
Cheers
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

I'm very tempeted to get a refund aswell. I ordered 13 months ago with ship date promised after ship date. I'm hoping he took care of mine last week and is in the mail. I even had to e-mail him my address 5+ times because he didn't think he had it on file, along with proof of purchase. I'm trying no...

Jonny Whip Crack

I agree, a year wait for a factory hat is insane. I understand he's busy with other things, but I've yet to see where my $150 that I sent him went. These days I don't just give people $150 and expect nothing.... I want my hat! When I sent him the money order, he said originally it'd be 2-4 weeks (ap...

Jonny Whip Crack

I've been waiting since last Feb for a size 23 1/2 Raiders. I talked to him about 3 weeks ago, and it sounded like he had that size and that he was going to get to it soon. I'm going to call him in a couple weeks and see where we're at. I'm also waiting for 2 Adventurebilts, so I've learned to be pa...

Jonny Whip Crack

After reviewing my message, I am only referring to the satin lining, NOT the sweat band.
Sorry
Jonny

Jonny Whip Crack

Hi everyone. Over the last year I have really sweat in my AB fedora, and having a larger than life forehead, I've left to large spots of sweat stain in the satin lining. My question is, has anyone had luck removing such stains from their hat, and what did you do? I've read blotting with 1/2 peroxide...

Jonny Whip Crack

I ordered mine Sept 07, and Oct 07, and still waiting, but not impatiently. I'm hoping to see my first one soon, but that would have been 15 months, so you may see yours Feb or March. But hey, you never know...half the fun is waiting and then coming home to find that perfect fedora at your door. If ...

Just for a laugh, I thought I'd share. I contacted Western Costume about 2 months ago to try and get SA pants in time for my halloween costume. They replied back and said "sure, we can do that"........for $700 US !!! I never replied back! Luckily, that was about the time Peter put the Noel...

I'm looking for a screenshot or Indy arriving at the venice peer or shorly after in the LC, or at least a good shot of him and his suit. I'm off to Las Vegas for New Years and want to get the same suit to go with my fedora. I noticed Magnoli sells the tie. Someone told me the suit is a light brown, ...

Thanks guys. I decided to go with 28 inches. I took the measurement from a jacket I always wear (non-Indy), and it happens to be 28! Thanks for the input.
Cheers.

Hi guys and gals. Just need some quick advise. I am going to order a LC in standard goat, and I'm 6 feet tall. From other people my height, what back length should I get in this LC jacket? I know it's only 1 inch difference, but any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Ravencrow. I did meet you at ComicCon. I was another Indy, but not dirtied up like you....I was clean, pre-adventure Indy with a light beard!

Todds costumes has a great stand that I use, and again only $5. It keeps the brim from touching any surface and getting bent out of shape. It also allows air circulation. Check it out..
