IM 5'7 around 160 and I went with the medium and I wish I had gone for the large. Nothing ever seems to fit right, I go from too tight and small to a shirt that looks too big.
Aside from that they seem to size smaller than most shirts so Id recomend getting one size larger than youd usually get.

thanks, got some on order and its rainy over here in Germany so Id rather be ready for the rain I will eventually get stuck in.

floyd1977

I went ahead and treated it, its quite a bit darker now. I guess thats OK but I wasn't really looking for that effect as much as I was with protecting it.

floyd1977

As far as chicks digging the hat. . . well I wore mine to a party at the Playboy mansion a couple of weeks ago (yes, I AM bragging) 8) and a number of extremely nice looking women in various states of scantilicious clothing/bunny outfits complimented me . . and this is just a crummy DP. Wait till I...

The very first time I wore my fedora I got a hundred meters or so from my house and a guy in a car yelled "HAT OFF" or something like that!

floyd1977

Looks real nice.. Whats the price range?

floyd1977

Well I went ahead and ordered myself a pair of the dark ones from 6pm. They didn't have ones a 1/2 size smaller than my normal size so I got a 1/2 size smaller in wide, hopefully they will fit OK...

floyd1977

So i ordered a can for my Fed 4.. Do I spray inside and out? Will this actually protect against rain and stains very well or will I still have to watch out a bat?

floyd1977

No tips????

floyd1977

check the what price glory website... they have vintage bags it great shape for a tad over 40.00...

floyd1977

here's a thread with some pics of my WPG glory bag after it was washed..

floyd1977

The rings seem to be firmly attached but Im guessing that if the strap got wrapped about the bag enough to shred the strap like that it must have pulled the rings quite a bit. I would recomend that the strap is removed before putting it in the washing machine! I have a leather strap on order from To...

floyd1977

Heres my MK VII from WPG after it went through the normal wash. As you can see the bag held up well but the strap was shredded by the valve on the side. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/floyd977/bday007.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/floyd977/bday008.jpg http://i280.photobucket...

If i were you I'd avoid both steam and water and try to bash it dry. Worked just fine for me and much easier to undo any misshapes...

What is a good place to get some SA pants? I've found the Magnoli expedition pants but they are a bit pricy... Any other good places? It I was to get the expedition, what colour is most SA?

floyd1977

Well the hand washing did't have much effect so I went ahead and tossed it in the laundry with some Woollite. Well the smell is mostly gone and the bag and the stamp both held up. But I left the original strap on and it got shredded, I assume by the valve on the side so i suggest removing the strap ...

floyd1977

Ha.. I've got a military APO so that will work great... Thanks....

floyd1977

thanks for the input... guess i should start using the search for some of my questions.....

floyd1977

Does anyone know how to get the must smell out of a vintage mark VII? I recently got one but it smells pretty bad. What if I stuck it in the washing machine? Would that damage it in anyway?

floyd1977

they seem to be related items so it seems likley that a shop is out there that offers both. I just wasn't able to find it.
Something about paying the same in shipping as the item just doesn't seem right....

floyd1977

Anyone???

floyd1977

Next time you receive a package you don't want you should just refuse the package and the postal service will ship it back. Saves you the trouble of repacking and having to worry about keeping things as they were found.

floyd1977

I actually went ahead and ordered mine from Todds too. In fact I also got their adventure shirt. The prices were good and the shipping to a military APO was only 12.00. I was looking at the one at adventure supply but i never got an email back and I got impatient. My bag from WPG is in but I have no...

floyd1977

I live in Germany but I also have a US military PO Box so I can get things shipped here for domestic US shipping prices. If you like I could get some sent to me and then mail it to you using German post? PM me if youd like to do that and we can work it out....

floyd1977

I emailed adventure supply for my strap but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Looks nice, I Might even get a belt and holster while Im at it...

floyd1977

Can anyone point me to a shop that sells both pecards (for my jacket) and felt fur protector (for my fedora)? I’m cheap and looking to save on the shipping cost of buying them both separately....(shipping for the hat spray was 7.00 for an item that cost 7.00!!!)

floyd1977

Do you treat your hats with anything to protect them from the weather? I just got a Fed 4 and I live in Germany so its going to get rained on at some point, should I treat it with anything? If so what would you recomend?

floyd1977

Well it arrived, Im really happy with it...Heres some pics with my new fed 4...

Thnaks for the input LemonLauren... I see you know your stuff. I actually prefer my indy gear to be useful and tough gear rather than SA prop type stuff so I think I'll check out the Winrich whips. The man is very good with a whip too...

floyd1977

Here it is!!!

floyd1977

Hows the shipping at adventure supply? Looks like a nice strap.

floyd1977

Guess I can post them here too.. Heres my new Fed and my new US Wings CE jacket. Any bash tips from the experts would be appreciated... Also the GF thinks the jacket is too small, do you agree? http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/floyd977/bday003.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/flo...

floyd1977

Got my US Wings CE jacket today too!!! Heres link to some pics. Any help with the bash will be appreciated, Ive never bashed a hat before and something doesn't seem quite right to me. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/floyd977/bday003.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/floyd977/bday...

floyd1977

Is the shipping way over priced on all their items or is it some way of appearing to undercut the other straps, only to jack up the shipping to roughly the same price as the other companys?

floyd1977

Just looking for some friendly advice on if and when I should treat my new jacket. I live in Germany so it WILL get rained on from time to time, even if I try to avoid it. Should I put some pecards on it right away, after it gets its first soaking or after a few months of normal wear? Im not looking...

floyd1977

I do like the look of that strap though, but 25.00 shipping is just too much... Does the buckle come with it? I see it is also sold alone.

floyd1977

humm... I was looking to get my shirt from them. Maybe I'll have to reconsider if the price of shipping is going to make it cost as much as some of the other shirts that are available...

floyd1977

Are you refering to the shipping on WPG? Mine was 10.50, which seems awfully high for one bag....
I dont think I could bring myself to pay shipping that doubles the price of an item, 10.50 was almost a deal breaker....

floyd1977

I saw that one coming... Like I said, I'll try and post some pics tonight but the Euro cup is on so I might not get a round to it...

floyd1977

I just ordered an original MK VII from WPG but the leather straps were out of stock. Can anyone direct me to a resonalby priced strap for it? Also how should I go about replacing the original strap? Do I cut them off and somehow attach the leather strap or just tuck the original strap into the bag?

I received my hat yesterday and I gave it a very amateur bash and wore it to work this morning. I live in Germany and take the train and tram to work and I got a few strange looks.... I've never worn a hat like this before but I suppose I'll get used to the attention. I'll try and post some pics whe...

floyd1977

just got my fed in today, these should come in handy...

floyd1977

Maybe one of the experts can point me to the film that this jacket most resembles? I cant seem to see the small differences just yet and I ordered this jacket so Im curious.

floyd1977

Not sure if this has been posted by WPG is offering the shirt and original MKVII bag for 98.00... Seems like a great deal but Im a bit worried about the shrinkage issue. It mentions that the shirts will shrik one inch if washed in water... If I buy larger, will it just shrink the one time or will it...
