I am a satisfied owner of a grey Stetson Racine and a tawny Stetson Stetsonian hat. I am quite pleased with theses hats. They are hat designs that Matt Deckard is responsible for re-introducing to the Stetson line of men's dress hats. I look forward to the Fortune And Glory Stetson when it becomes a...

Croft,

So in that pic, it's a new Raiders/Indy shirt from Todd's, and Todd's pants too?

Thanks.

Jake

Has anyone purchased one of the newer color Todd's Indy shirts recently? Just checking to see what it looks like next to the Todd's Indy pants. Photos please if you have them.

Thanks,

I worked briefly with Terry Leonard on Tombstone and The Quick and The Dead. He IS THE MAN!

So-Cal Reporter,

I was a Jungle Cruise skipper when I worked there during college. Fun stuff. Only Indy fans will recognize the ties and the shoes. Nice product placement Indy Magnoli!

Members have found Alden boots at second hand stores before. If I could just find the thread. What happens when you drip Aldens on your Aldens?
Jake

Can anyone elaborate on the widths available with the Todd's boots? I have a pair of 11E Aldens. What would the best size to get in these new boots? 11, 11 1/2 ?

I used to shoot the SASS Cowboy action shooting matches. Foam earplugs were fine IMHO while outdoors at a match. However, once indoors, I felt the need to wear foam earplugs AND the earmuff style headset. There are some that have the metal bracket that sits low enough at teh backof the neck so that ...

I agree, the Fed does not fit like your custom hat does. Nice work.

What this tells me is that they really DON'T want to make Indy hats. Not at that price. I'm not sold on the ribbon I see in the picture either. They also show a picture of Eddie Baron working with one of the hats. I do not remember the last time I saw Eddie in the Store.

I'm on for one of these. His shirts are great. I already have two of them.

Val Kilmer was also very good in Tombstone. He wore a nice hat as Doc Holiday, a hat shaped by Tom Hirt. Hirt has made a lot of hats for movies. Sam Eliot usually wears Hats made by him. I have one of Tom Hirt's Hats that I purchased while working on Tombstone . It's my version of a Wyatt Earp Hat....

That taller bulge is the result of two pieces of leather through the buckle. Holt's photo looks like he took it with just one strap thickness (partially installed) running through?

Let us know!

I remember looking at a Norfolk jacket and seeing a similarity in the vertical shirt pleats. I hate to disagree, but I'm not seeing the guayabera shirt as inspiration, but rather a similarity. Who really knows? We weren't there when the shirt was designed. I just saw 'Airplane' (1980)this morning wi...

I also vote for #3. At less than half the Alden price, that's a deal. Btw what about E widths?
If cost is an issue, there are close enough options available from what others have posted. High quality gear costs less in the end.

I recently decided it was time to learn some new tricks on something that was a little easier to handle than an 8 ft Indy style whip. Lion Tamer is to blame for this. He has a 6ft Australian Terry Jacka whip, and he also has some of Lauren's nylon performance hybrid whips. After cracking his whips, ...

While looking on ebay, I did a search for waxed poly thread. A number of listings made me curious. What do you think of using waxed poly or waxed nylon thread for poppers? What brand or size are you buying to make them? and how do they perform? In an obsessive search to find some poly thread at seve...

I have to agree with Franco on the 10 footer as far as costume appearance goes. You need to look a some of the Indy clips and photos to see how many times it coils around. While I enjoy using my 8 ft whip, the 10 footer looks better coiled up on the belt.

Kevin wrote: I wouldn't do anything to the whip except for crack it. New whips are always stiff (particularly nylon ones) and it should become more fluid with use.

A few years back, I bought a Krist King 8 ft nylon whip from Big Bend Saddlery, a saddle supply shop with an on-line store in Texas. I found that I really didn't like it, but I cracked it along with my roo Strain whips. Then recently, things changed. Maybe my skills improved? I crack it all of the t...

There are things I like about the WPG shirt and the Todd's Shirt for Raiders. I also think that Azuma's shirts are right-on. He has made me some special shirts that have their details right on for the specific film. In spite of the details, One needs to find a shirt that is a lighter shade than the ...

[quote="Wade Egan"]Just bumped Jake's thread so it's at the top. Jake, do you know who made the shirts for CS? I seem to remember something about that but am not seeing it. The reason I ask is because if we can find out the diameter of the shirt buttons we can figure out the strap width by...

if the strap is too dark it becomes temple/LC/CS....... I have to respectfully disagree. For me, it's the strap width and big flat square buckle that makes a strap Raiders. The Raiders strap can be much darker and still nail the look. In order for the strap to become TOD/LC/ CS it just has to be th...

Here's my take on the Indy shirt color. Until we get an actual shirt in our hands, we'll never know. After looking in my closet at a number of my Indy shirts that have been recently available, the color on all of them looks right if the lighting is right. They all look a little different with each p...

I needed a whip when the craze for being in costume for Crystal Skull hit many of us like a ton of bricks. I bought the inexpensive Joe whip. He sent out a chocolate one instead of the medium brown or russet one that I had requested. I thought it was junk when I got it, and he sent the wrong color t...

Got mine today, and I can't see any problems with it. I'm quite pleased with the color, texture details, etc. In the two short hours I've had it, this has quickly become my favorite. I think I can wear it year-round in sunny CA.

Wow, I just got my unlined XL Bantu Wind Jacket. The grain pattern looks great. The zipper might need something like Vaseline to make it pull a little smoother?

Just a quick note to say that I saw one of these jackets, and I really thought it looked great. If they run out of the 'seconds', when Todd does another batch of them, they will be quite nice as well.

Good news! Heel rubber replaced successfully. While it is not an Alden heel pad, they did cut the same S curve into the replacement pad that was put on. It looks like they cut this out of a thick sheet of rubber to match the same shape of the original heel. Saved my leather heels, and saved the cost...
