Very nice looking jacket!

rbinko2001

I wish I could wear mine now, but it's still in the mid 80's here in South Carolina.

rbinko2001

That hat looks spot on! Excellent work!

rbinko2001

That was a very cool little story. Well done.

rbinko2001

I think the jacket looks really good. Congratulations.

Holt,
Are you sure it's not a custom? The jacket has the made in England patch under the inside pocket. Mine is a custom and mine has that patch too.

rbinko2001

I think the jacket looks good. I wouldn't worry about the "squirrel effect" unless you walk around normally with your arms out like that.

rbinko2001

Im still also a big proponent of the "natural distressing" idea. It adds character to a jacket when it ages naturally, not artificially.

JC1972, I too am 6'3" tall and I once ordered a Todds Standard in XL. The 25" back length wasn't too bad, but the front is what made me send it back. When I zipped it up, it seemed way too short for me in my, and my wife's, opinion. If you were to only wear it unzippered, it might not be t...

Here is a bag that my wife bought me for my birthday to use for school/work. I got it from Wested. It's a really nice messenger bag/ briefcase.

rbinko2001

Thanks Solent MKIII, but I already have a case removal tool like that. I bought one on ebay with some extra moon clips. You'd think spending what I did for that gun that it should have came with the tool already, right?

rbinko2001

I ordered a custom Raiders jacket on May 28th and received it on June 11th. It's awesome! I stated that I wanted a silver 5 gauge zipper and I got one on mine. I only emailed a few specs along with the jacket and I got everything I asked for. I never even called them after I placed my order.

rbinko2001

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

rbinko2001

I recently purchased a S&W model 22 1917 .45 ACP revolver, my first gun. Does anyone know if I can use .45 auto rim cartridges with this gun instead of having to use the moon clips all of the time?

rbinko2001

I recently purchased a S&W Model 22 with a 4" barrel.

rbinko2001

I ordered a custom Raiders jacket from them on May 28th and I received it on June 11th. They were very fast for me and I live in South Carolina.

rbinko2001

Looks awesome! Can't wait for mine to come in.

rbinko2001

Nice looking jacket. Congratulations on your purchase.

rbinko2001

I ordered mine on May 28th, I just got an email today saying that my order would be complete in 14 working days. I can't wait!

Try deleting the search history and the cookies from your computer. I recently had that error come up on a different website when I was trying to order something. I think once you do that, the problem should be fixed.

Hope this helps.

rbinko2001

Thanks. I appreciate it.

rbinko2001

JC1972,
What kind of buckles did you ask for on your jacket? Are they the slider buckles that Wested has on their site?

Thanks.

rbinko2001

How do you know when its time to get the heel on your Aldens replaced? I use them almost daily walking at my university which proved to cause quite the wear on the heels. The back edge of the rubber heel is almost worn down to the first wooden shim. Im not sure when to get them fixed. Any info would...

rbinko2001

Not to be a downer, but the boots in the above pics look way too red to me. I thought the hero boots from Raiders were supposed to be brown. Maybe its just the camera or the lighting. Also, what is all that black goo at the back by the heel? For $700 Aldens should have cleaned those up a lot better.

rbinko2001

I wear mine with jeans and they look good.

rbinko2001

Are those regular Aldens color, but dyed to make them black?

rbinko2001

After placing the order on May 23, I got a call from the guy at the orthopedic store yesterday and he said my boots were in. I went down today to pick them up and I absolutely love them. I was a little worried if they would fit properly, but the store owner has been selling Aldens for 30 years and h...

rbinko2001

The guys that ordered their custom Aldens will probably get them before I receive my "normal" ones ordered on May 23. Almost 3 months and still waiting.... but not as patiently as before!

rbinko2001

Has anyone received their exact replica custom Raiders Aldens boots yet? Im curious to see how they look.

rbinko2001

I think the "gut area" on mine is straight. I have a 42" chest and a 34" waist and it fits me with enough room. Its more form fitting than other shirts I have owned, but it's supposed to be.

rbinko2001

Im 6'3" and Todd's XL fits me perfectly. The sleeves are right where they should be and I have no issues with fit whatsoever. I love it!

rbinko2001

The guy did tell me that Aldens said it would be 12-14 weeks before the boots came in. Now Aldens is saying it will be an extra 4-6 weeks. These boots better be worth it.

rbinko2001

This Friday will be exactly 11 weeks ago to the day that I ordered my Alden 405's size 13D's. I just got a call from a guy at the shoe store and he told me he called Aldens today, inquiring about my order, and they told him it would be another 4-6 weeks. That means a total of possibly 15-17 weeks fo...

rbinko2001

... and in the case of that Last Crusade pic, the reddish-brown boots are also "Hero" boots, too.

rbinko2001

For you hatmakers out there, what size wooden hat flange, or brim block would be needed to curl up the brim on an Indy style fedora? I am going to order one online and they come in various sizes. I know the Indy brim was around 2 3/4, but what size hat flange would I need to give it that nice curl? ...

rbinko2001

I just talked with Ruth at Winchester, she was very nice by the way, and she said that there is no minimum # of bodies to order. She said the dark colored 100% beaver was $55.50 and the pastel colored 100% beavers were $56.75. She said that if they have the color you are looking for in stock, they w...

rbinko2001

I haven't called them yet so I don't know exactly. Im hoping you can order a single raw body and not have to buy them in bulk because all I really want right now is one.

rbinko2001

By the way, that number is their fax #. Their phone # is: 931-967-0686.

rbinko2001

Airforceindy,
Thank you very much for the information. It was most helpful.

rbinko2001

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it.

rbinko2001

Is knowing where to buy raw fur felt hat bodies some top secret information, or does nobody honestly know? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

rbinko2001

I recently got the itch to try and make my own hat. I found a few websites that offer 100% rabbit fur felt hat bodies, but I can't seem to find any place that sells 100% beaver. Does anyone know where are some good places to get some raw hat bodies, in both rabbit and beaver? Also, when ordering a b...

rbinko2001

For you hatmakers out there, I am seriously considering trying to make my own hat. When I order a raw fur felt hat body, do I get one that is a capeline or a hood? I am trying to make an Indy Jones fedora. I assume it is the capeline style, but I just wanted to make sure. Also, what do you guys thin...

rbinko2001

I don't think that "screen accurate" means that the actor has to be inside the said wardrobe. Even though the truck chase scene was still only a second or so, and despite who was in them, those were still "screen used" Aldens. Take for instance the General Lee from the Dukes of H...

rbinko2001

Shagbd,
Thanks for the info. I figured I won't have to give him any specifics, just say I want a Raiders 10ft. whip and let him have at it.

rbinko2001

That is a gorgeous whip! I can't wait to place my order for one. When you ordered, did you give Joe a bunch of specifics, or did you just tell him you wanted a KOTCS whip? Im going to order a Raiders 10ft. whip and Im not sure if he needs specifics or just say that I want a "Raiders" style...

rbinko2001

I know what you mean about waiting. Ive been waiting for my Aldens since I ordered them on May 23rd. I still have another 3-5 weeks to go.

rbinko2001

2 1/2 months is pretty fast. My wife is getting me a 10ft. Indy whip for Christmas and I wanted to know when she should place the order. Thanks for the info.

rbinko2001

That hat does look awesome! Great work!

rbinko2001

For those of you who have recently ordered and received a Strain 10 ft. Indy whip, or any size whip for that matter, what was the wait time from placing the order to getting the package at your door?

Thanks

rbinko2001

I think it is really awesome that Alden is making an exact screen accurate boot from Raiders. However, the reddish-brown boots from the truck chase scene are also "screen accurate." How does one decide which are more correct than others? In my opinion, if it was seen on the screen then it ...
