Mr. Z

How 'bout that! I'm in Bloomington.

Mr. Z

Sweet hat Dan!!

Mr. Z

How is it? Post us some pics when you get a chance!

Mr. Z

That is really fast!

Love the avatar Michaelson.

Mr. Z

My first Wested (and only) came in within 4 weeks, and it was perfect the first time. I couldn't be happier with it.

Mr. Z

Very nice looking lid!

Mr. Z

I'm surprised no one has commented here. I'd love to help out, but am far from an expert. Do you have any pictures or anything of what your final product will look like?

Mr. Z

Wow! That is a brag worth trumpeting!!

Mr. Z

I will be wearing mine in Disney World next week, so I've got that going for me ... which is nice.

Mr. Z

What a great photo of the two of you, and the hat is amazing! You certainly wear it well.

I'll be heading to Disney World next week, and can't wait to show off the lid!

Mr. Z

Welcome laughograms! Great to have you here; love the story, by the way. Disneyland is a great park, and what they're doing for Indy this summer is awesome.

Mr. Z

Heck yeah man; you've got to be you-that's more than good enough!

Mr. Z

Ha Ha!

Mr. Z

Wow; that is pretty powerful. You certainly won't hear any complaints from me, and I am even more excited than ever about owning an AB. God bless ya for all your hard work, and I hope you are able to enjoy it all. Cheers to you, my friend.

Mr. Z

When Steve retires?? Did I miss something?

Mr. Z

Cool hat Croft!

Mr. Z

Very exciting indeed! Besides the detail, the best thing about it is the quick turnaround time.

Mr. Z

They sure are, and really added to the film.

Mr. Z

Thats great news. :) Now I only have to figure out a way to get one without geting killed for it by my girlfriend who keeps telling me hats are for old people only. :roll: Oh man; she'll warm to it, especially when girls start falling you around saying things like, "Is that Harrison Ford?"...

Mr. Z

The original ABs had the Staff of Ra as the label, but this was switched within the last year, so it could be authentic. Hard to say, without seeing it. Some of the other guys here know much more about it then I do.

Mr. Z

So, upside-down in a box is probably safe, correct?

Mr. Z

I believe they have now switched, due to some discrepancies with copyrights.

Congrats again to both Steve and Marc for getting their works of art in the film.
'Blues

Absolutely! No doubt about it.

Mr. Z

Ha! No doubt.

The Stovepipe look is most closely met in Raiders, right?

Mr. Z

Will someone help me understand all this taper business? It's when the hat looks like the McDonalds Arch /\, correct? This is what we don't want to happen to our lids, right? I'm just trying to figure it out. I looked at the Fedora question board, but I want to make sure I understand. Thanks.

Mr. Z

Indycrazy5187, if you're even the slightest bit interested, you should place an order now, as he is bound to get even more bombarded with orders. Steve lets you place hats on layaway too, so you can get your name on the list early.

Mr. Z

No doubt!

After seeing this movie, I am even more eager to get my AB. I wonder where we are on the orders these days.

Mr. Z

I really liked the gray one as well, but the hero hat was my favorite. I love the crease. It is a really beautiful hat. When I first saw it, I didn't really like it. But after seeing it on screen, I think it is my favorite. I love the Raiders hat, it is a classic, but the CS hat is something else. ...

Mr. Z

Will it lose shape at all if you keep it in the box for awhile?

Mr. Z

When I talked to Bernie a couple of days ago, he mentioned that there were enough hats left from this film to make another film. Let's hope that is indeed the case! I really thought the grey hats stood out much more than they did in Raiders. Too bad he had to get rid of his so quickly, but, hey, he...

Mr. Z

I thought the gear wore very well; perhaps as good or better then all the films.

Mr. Z

Johnny

You couldn't be more right ... the hats were beautiful!

Mr. Z

Indeed they did, and great hat Tony!

Mr. Z

Truly, the hat really was memsmorizing on screen!! There were so many things about the movie that were wonderful to me, and really made me smile. However, I truly couldn't keep my eyes off the AB, and couldn't be prouder or more excited about getting my very own.

Mr. Z

Gents, thank you very much! After reading your posts and messing around with the holder, it all makes perfect sense. I don't know why I didn't figure that out sooner. I can only attribute it to being a teacher, and our brains are typically fried this time of year. :lol: Thanks again everybody ... In...

Mr. Z

The velcro just allows you to adjust the length of the holder. Once it is the right length to keep your whip snug while snapped, just snap and unsnap to hold the whip. The velcro looks like it is just meant for adjustment. I am apparently a huge moron (I'm ok with that :lol: ), but what do you mean...

Mr. Z

Doesn't the whip go into the section that snaps? I sure thought it did. The velcro section is not actualy attached to the snap section, so it would seem strange to have the whip attached in two areas. Indy would never get his whip out in time if he had to remove it in two places.

It's refreshing to hear that, as my Peter Brothers is about that height, and I feel a tad self-conscious in it.

Mr. Z

So, does that mean it is too loose now, and I should tighten it?

Mr. Z

Friends, I should be receving one of my whips tomorow that I'll bring to the premiere, and I'm wondering about a feature on my Todd's whip holder. What is the purpose/use of the velcro on this holder? I know the front with the button is where the whip goes, but is the velcro to strap the excess, or ...

Taper

The taper is the top of the crown, correct?

: I thought the prototype looked a tad tall too, but what do I know?

Mr. Z

That's huge! I may try for something a bit smaller.

Mr. Z

I'm glad I found this thread, as I really want a decent looking whip for the premiere. I'm hoping he'll next day mail it to me if I purchase it. It was described as a Bull Whip 20' 10p Brown Bullwhip.

Does this mean 20 feet long?!

Mr. Z

I emailed Gus this evening, and hope to hear from him soon. Does anyone know how much his whips run for?

Mr. Z

Thanks for breaking it all down for us Marc and Steve. It all sounds very cool.

Mr. Z

I am planning on ordering an eight footer from Gus in the very near future. All the reviews that have been given here praise Gus' work. And his prices are just as attractive as the whips themselves. Dave That is very promising. How long do they take to get to your house (from order to reception if ...

Mr. Z

Fantastic! What's the turn-around order time on these?

Mr. Z

Sorry to hear that Truths.

Mr. Z

I was hinging on the idea that I would get the Todd whip rather quickly... But.......... After thinking about what I wanted a whip for, I actually cancelled my order with Todd and paid more to get some REAL whips from our very talented whipmakers here on COW. Now to wait patiently for those. 8) I k...

Mr. Z

Essentially the same thing. The bash is the overall look of the hat while the pinch is more specific. The Raiders hat has a tighter pinch, the CS hat has a moderately tight pinch but it doesn't run the length of the crown. The bash refers to the pinch, dents, and anything that affects the overall l...
