Yes, I quote Ian. My LC Custom took about two month and a half because they haven't Novapelle at the time I've ordered my jacket.
Anyway, Gemma told me by email that I had to wait. But they have a pretty awful email service and many mails where lost due to the anti-spam filter.

Two month a half due to the waiting for a new Novapelle batch.

I have bought my last web belt on eBay from member skylight16 wich have a shop called Fool's Jooles . I've choose the predistressed one and I have to say that it seems to be solid brass: I used some fine sandpaper to it to rub off some of the distressing and no clear metal have seen on surface. ;) Y...

Thanks Michael! :TOH: The pair of boots you've posted it's truly beautiful and pretty dead-on for the truck chase scene in Raiders! :clap: I'm always very undecided for the type of weathering to apply to my Todd's boots: I like the super-dusty look in the above example, but I also like the dark tone...

BazzanoJones

Inspired from the Wade Egan weathering process and the beautiful color of the Tundraraider's 405's I finally decided to weather and darken slightly my Todd's boots. I've used several steps to obtain a leather color that seems used but not artificial (abrasive sponge, rocks, dark brown shoe polish, f...

BazzanoJones

GREAT boots Michael! I love this darker color, not distressed but just a little "used" just right out of the box! :clap: I always prefer darker colors on leather (the 405's brown is a beautiful example) but with my Todd's boots (that I like it very much) I gave up to obtain this darker ton...

I own a Wested custom LC in Novapelle: I love it but the handwarmers are difficult (but not impossible) to reach. I think (repeat, THINK) it depends on the design of the jacket itself and not by a Wested mistake; the harmholes are strange by design and the jacket tends to stretch when arms are open ...

BazzanoJones

I voted Venice, but at the same place I put the outfit used at Donovan's apartment.

BazzanoJones

First of all: great choice and "realistic interpretation", Tundrarider! As usual! :clap: The idea to use a replica of the real WW2 service belts (with the inside markings) it's great. I have many gear marked "SEMS" in my WW2 USA soldier uniform: they are made in China replicas fo...

I think they're Wested. But, Zoltar, how the tailor did to solve the tapering problem? I have Wested pants too, really satisfied for material and color but not by the excessive tapering and I like to adjust them.

BazzanoJones

Great shirt! I'll order one for sure in the future!

And many thanks to all that have posted pics of it.

BazzanoJones

Hey Azuma, just received my shirt today and it is superb!!! This shirt ranks right up there with my mba! I love the buttons! Great attention was taken and thank you for doing this!! Highest regards my friend, John :H: :clap: :notworthy: With Zombie voice: "PIIIIIIICSSSS...PIIIIIIIIIIIICSSSSSS....

Here is the pic of the buttons on the shirt from the new batch. Please note the color may be slightly different than seeing in person.

Great! Well done!

Shirts from this batch come with new buttons.

Best regards,

Great!

Please, can I see a pic of the new buttons over the shirt canvas?
Excuse me for the request, but I'm pretty curious about the new buttons color.

BazzanoJones

Azuma, one question: this restock was with new buttons shirts or the old type? Thanks.

BazzanoJones

Nice aging effect! Congratulation!

Great label! And GREAT pics too! They really looks authentic (if you know what I mean)!

Hi BazzanoJones, The sample buttons we have here is Pantone 450, however, these buttons are not yet confirmed to use on our shirt. We are trying to get the buttons that used on local MP's uniform. Still waiting on the news from the supplier. This is the button in pantone 450 scanned from a scanner ...

BazzanoJones

Azuma, any pics of the new buttons (maybe over the shirt canvas for color comparison) or Pantone Color Code?

BazzanoJones

One thing I haven't seen is the argument for wool pants in the woods. Wool is the kind of pant you want to be in if you were to fall in the water - they dry out faster than cotton and will wick the water away from you. People who live in the woods know the importance of a good pair of wool pants......

BazzanoJones

Great comparison pics! Thanks Azuma!

BazzanoJones

The shirt on the right originally had some darker buttons on it. My friend Justin salvaged these buttons off of a couple of khaki military shirts. He will go the extra mile on his gear for the results he is looking for. They look really good in person too. Jake Thanks for the explanation. ;) If the...

Here are some recent pics of two Azuma shirts being worn at the recent QM in Long Beach, CA... The shirts are beautiful, indeed! Well done Azuma! :clap: But, one question: why the buttons color of the two shirts look so different? Dark on left shirt and a more SA light-greenish khaki color on the r...

With regards to real-world compatibility as far as our 'costume', because that is what this gear is when it's all together, every part really is practical, except the whip and gunbelt, for most! My brother has a 100% wool camo coat by Columbia, and it shows no ill effects from being soaked. I'd say...

BazzanoJones

In the world of fedora's the worst type of all purpose hat one can buy is made of wool felt. The reason being it does not endure when exposed to heat and water. So if we are looking for a true outdoor pant and not just a costume piece one would want a pair of pants that can hold up in the elements....

BazzanoJones

I've orderd only one jacket from Wested using one of the Holt's list of specs. No extra charges for me.

BazzanoJones

Every pic posted in this topic make me closer to the fatal decision...order one gorgeous Penman LC (Venice Pier "Cowboy" bash, please) !

Congratulations to Mr. Penman for his beautiful works and to all his lucky customers for the excellent choice.

Hey, Restless! Finally I can see your face!

The Henry had a very beautiful shape and color, even in direct sunlight!

BazzanoJones

A truly beautiful reblock and great idea!

One question: what have you used for the block itself? Have you a real hat block or you've used another object?

Here is mine just for comparison. LC Novapelle with no pecards. http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv217/robbsac15/ertet001.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv217/robbsac15/ertet002.jpg Very very nice! :TOH: Your Novapelle look like have a yellow tone in it.

actually....when I see this Kt I can say this is very nice. all of the other NP I have seen are much lighter in color, pecards or no pecards on it. and it has a slight shine to it. does peter still have this dark NP you have? KT show in his pic the same Novapelle of my jacket. So I think this is th...

I voted for 100% wool. I use them only to wear on the costume and I like to have it as much screen accurate as possible. But I think that the final price will make the biggest difference on choice: I've read of many people that had bought a pair of polyester blend trousers because they're cheapest t...

Happy birthday from a happy customer!

Perfect!

BazzanoJones

Thank you guys I am glad you like the shirt. I have got reply from the button supplier. They will re-do the buttons for the next batch. I will probably assign a pantone color for them instead of give them the photo for reference. That would be easier to work it out. :TOH: Azuma Great news! If the c...

BazzanoJones

Wrinkled it's the way!

Aside the buttons (sorry, but they're really too dark even for a LC shirt) I think this is the best alternative at the Todd's shirts. Very good work Azuma!

BazzanoJones

Also the Westd shirt have two cuff buttons. But I ever heard that this detail isn't accurate so, on my old Todd, I had removed the extra button. Honestly it's the first time I heard about the second button on the ToD shirt: any other info about it?

BazzanoJones

Also the old Todd's shirt has that second button. I know it is NOT accurate. The new Todd's shirt haven't that button.

Finally I ahave an answer for my question about use of the mysterious metal disc.
