Got my size large today! Woo Hoo!!! Chest and shoulder seem fine, maybe a tiny bit more snug than I'd like. It's ok around the waist, but that's more a function of my girth ;-) I am VERY pleased with the shirt, and even after a wash it is wearable for the 22nd! I did have to go on an emergency pants...

Has anyone tried Todd's deluxe whips???

Anyone try these yet? How do they compare with some of the other mid-range whips listed in this forum?

I ordered on from him because I simply could not yet afford a good roo whip or most of the other 'budget' roo-like whips. It is what it is. A decent whip, looks ok. Plaits are a little looser than I expected. A bit hard to crack (I'm new, so that could be mostly me). I can get it to give a fairly go...

Plastic hat block?

I saw this online...

http://www.hatshapers.com/Product%20Pag ... fedora.htm

$28.00 plus shipping. I was thinking of trying to use this and make my own hat. Looks like it might work out ok, based on the images on the page.

Any thoughts, other than the probably re-blocking I'd have to do?

Pre-ordered my LARGE shirt this morning! Looking forward to it PB!

I still plan on buying a few French Air Force shirts I saw online for about $5.90 ea., redying them and making my own, but that's more of a 'just for the heck of it' thing now.

Well, how do you know I'm not a Grimace? :wink: Yes, assuming the final product after the pleats and dye job is worth it, I'll take it in a tad. Wow, I've never seen a shirt so in need of a tailoring in. It looks like it was made for Grimace. Although I assume if you're going to be sewing on pleats ...

Close enough shoes

I know they are not moc-toe like the 405's, but at $50.00 plus the shipping on Ebay I couldn't pass these up. They are Stacey Adams Madison ankle boots, in brown. I think once I beat the snot outta them, they should look fairly Indy-ish.

Drain hole hardware for Indy bag

Hi all... I lucked into a WWII Czech gas mask bag for free that with some mods would make a pretty good Indy bag. Does anyone know where I can get the brass/metal drain hole hardware for the bottom of the bag? Or, have any ideas as to the best way to make them? I got the snaps covered already and th...
