Welcome Tony!! I'll be a paying customer very soon :) Just saw the trailer for the Bruce Willis film "The Surrogates". Thats your work he's wearing in the latter half of the trailer isnt it? It looks great from what I can see of it in the trailer! Your distressing? http://vids.myspace.com/...

I caught JP tonight and was noticing that the lawyer seems to be wearing a Belloq style hat, probably a deliberate counter to Dr. Grant's character, one could interpret...

Venkman

BTW, I went into the American History museum on Inauguration Day, the LC jacket is no longer on display, at least not right now. They are just coming off of a huge renovation, and a lot of stuff that was there before is gone/in storage. They did have a full ROTJ C3PO outfit though that looked pretty...

Venkman

Well, I think we can assume that the hat he wears at Area 51 in KOTCS was incinerated along with the rest of his clothing....though I haven't read the novelization, if that gave any details on it.

Venkman

...it looks like the hat survived too, it appears to be on the table during the interrogation. Another plus for AB!

Venkman

I never had the pleasure of dealing with Mr Howard, but he obviously was a great person from all the testimonials posted, and I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to his many contributions and accomplishments, and for bringing pleasure to so many. Sad news indeed today.

Venkman

Nice to another Mag HJ, Ive been loving more and more this past week

Looks like this was the week Steve put all the Mag orders in the post!

Venkman

Nice! you had the lopsided straps on the last one ,right?

Venkman

I like mine, it does seems to run a little big. The coloring is not by any stretch SA, but the Akubra's are renowed for their durability. It's easy enough to bash by hand, thats no problem at all. Plenty of pics in several threads here to check out. That being said, now that Ive got my HJ, the Akubr...

Venkman

ok, last pic for this thread from moi..

Venkman

Goat also smells a little more...well goaty, out of the package..at least I noticed my G&B goat smells distinctly differently than either my Wested or USWKOTCS did..

Venkman

I was overjoyed to find a surprise package on Monday, my new Magnoli Herbert Johnson (Raven Bar styling, thanks Steve!) arrived! Its definitely a little smaller than the Akubra, but I think I like the tighter fit, though its a mite snug at the moment. (whereas the Adventurer is on the big 58 side). ...

Venkman

I think the jacket looks fine, nice set you have going there. One thing, wow that bag looks green. I got a WPG orginal bag (it was my first gear!), i dont think it was that green at first, but I ran it the washer n dryer 2x, which certainly got that musky grandad's basement smell out of it, and ligh...

Venkman

Ordered on the 29th, got shipping notice today, will receive on the 19th!

Oh and thanks for the fuller's earth, got that today too. Gots to keep it away from the kitchen though, facing the other way, it could way too easily be mistaken for garlic salt. Jackets yes, pizza, no.

Venkman

Banana Republic has a pretty decent CE shirt you could pick up at your local mall. They have it online as well.

I may very well go for both. Whats the wait time on the Fed these days?

Venkman

I got caught up in Flyboys looking at some of the great leather coats in that...

That and looking for MKVII bags now in any WWII scenes from movies/tv (They show up in Monty Python now and then) is a sign this site is getting to me

Venkman

Wow, I like how the color and ribbon on that looks, a lot. Im even more anxious to get mine now. So three months since the orginal order? Thats not too bad at all.

Venkman

Evening gang! I love the pics of the Fed Im seeing, and although I absolutely love my Akubra, Id really like something a little more SA, and you can never have too many hats (well, that Barthomelew Cubbins guy maybe). I do have a Magnoli HJ I ordered the first week of April, which I bet will fit the...

I got my 6ft version from him yesterday in the mail, its super. Im by no means an expert, but this looks and feels like quality to me.

Well, I was pretty sure I ordered a large, then was fretting when I saw how big the other pics looked. Today I received mine in the mail, and they actually sent me a medium, which as it turns out, is pretty comfy. Sleeve length is good, and I could definitely fit a tshirt with sweater/sweatshirt und...

Venkman

Received my medium today..

Venkman

Today was a good gear day! USW KOTCS Jacket arrived, and my Akubra Adventuer, courtesy DM, also showed up, my first true Fedora (not counting my mangled old Stetson). Pic below from first bashing attempt, about 10 minutes of playing around.. http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll233/Venkman_album/gea...

Venkman

That last pic has really convinced now from that last pic that this is the bag, with the shoulder straps replaced, and possibly the two on the exterior flap as well. Sweet!

Venkman

ditto, thats a medium? It looks equal or bigger than vindy's size L photos.

I guess all be known in 16 hours or so when they deliver mine! (large).

Venkman

Here's a closeup shot of the military bag for comparison that Bond, Indiana Bond, found (and was kind enough to send me one as well) A few other photos here: http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll233/Venkman_album/backpack%20photos/ http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll233/Venkman_album/backpack%20ph...

As a fellow newbie working vainly to achieve a Zen state of patience while awaiting delivery guys with packages, Welcome!!

Venkman

Holy underwear, your right! I totally spaced that part, hopping right on that.

THanks for that reminder!

Venkman

Not wanting to miss out on whats looks to be a pretty nice looking jacket, I took a chance and placed an order for a large on their website last night. I called today to follow up, and sure enough, they had a couple larges left, and I have shipping notice in my inbox for delivery on the 22nd!! Im a ...

Venkman

Im having high hopes now that this is indeed the bag that IB located with that new pic..

Venkman

...Im even more glad now that I ordered a pair of pants and a shirt with my Wested jacket order, now Ive seen those pics..

Venkman

I think the most amazing thing is the sheer patience you display while opening it!! That is some willpower there, I think mine will be on my back within 10 seconds of it coming out the bag. Congrats again, great series of clips. I hope they save that template over there, because I think my next orde...

I ordered my mag HJ on 4/8, with any luck, I may have gotten in under the wire before they went temporarily out of stock. [crosses fingers]. Doesnt sound like it will be on my head before the film comes out though, but I can always hope. Theres likely going to a Keppler in my future as well, and Im ...

Venkman

I got the 72 and it seems just about right, and Im just around 6 feet. I'd say go for the longer one.

Venkman

Outstanding job, and that is fantastic looking! Gives me hope on the 40 long I orded looking at the size too.

And of course, condolences for the loss of your old jacket.

Venkman

Strap n deluxe gun belt & deluxe holster. Goes well with an orginal MKVII. I am very pleased, excellent work. The web belt I picked up at a supply store around the block from my office, $6. Got a khaki and a tan as well, always handy to have around. Oh and the whip holder too I got from Todd. Fu...

Venkman

Looks like it got mixed up with the Anakin Skywalker order...

Venkman

Back on topic for the hat though. Dangit I forgot to measure my darn head beside the normal hat size I wear so I can email that. You' think I would have invested in a cloth tape measure for home by now! - instead of walking into mens warehouse on my way to work and asking for a quick check on someth...

Theres actually about a half dozen places in my state per their website that I could start calling around, including a pedorthist clinic of some kind that appears to be by appt only. Might be a bad idea to go in there asking for "Indy Shoes". Although....Alden's courtesy Blue Cross? :D I d...

Venkman

Now its getting scary. Jacket was orded Friday night and I got the confirmation email this morning. Todd's stuff (holster/belt/strap) will be here Wednesday, and now I just pulled the trigger for a nice new HJ from Mag. All this from a single bag purchase. Its a good thing the missus wont see the bi...

Venkman

that reminds me, whose got the email for John Phillips of London so I can get an SA white tank top and the special edition Takagi Necktie?

[all apologies to DH enthusiants]

Venkman

The first order from Todd's with the strap and deluxe holster/belt will be here Weds so the good mail tells me. Pics are a guarantee!

Venkman

as a new member, but lurking for a few weeks while I was getting my proverbial feet wet, this thread and the ensuing video brought quite the smile. Excellent work!

Hello all, glad to be here. Its a familiar song, Im sure. The gear itch turned into a full-blown bug after receiving an original MKVII from WPG a week or two ago. The it was the strap purchase from Todd's, and Im like, so while Im here, why not grab the holster and belt too. What the heck, the whip ...
