I've actually been wanting to upgrade my belt for a while now, and wanted to swap my Keppler belt for one for a super whip holder to slide onto. Thank you for this info. Definitely adding that Etsy belt to my wish list.

ichnob

These are some great stories.

Thanks for sharing.

ichnob

If only you had more arms, so you could crack them all at the same time. Congrats on those beautiful whips.

ichnob

Aw...without a camera, not only can you not show us the hat boxes, but you also can't show us your shiny hats.

John always does great work. Good to know they're getting positive reviews (my bank account isn't happy about that though

).

ichnob

IOABs are great whips. Congrats on getting one!

What's the whip length?

ichnob

Thanks for the info. Just became a fan.

ichnob

I didn't cut the plastic lining for my Fed IV when I first got it. It's been about a year since then, and I just cut the plastic out of the hat two days ago. We'll see how it handles now, but with the plastic on, I was sweating a bit while wearing it. Haven't worn my Penman during sweltering heat ye...

ichnob

Looking forward to purchasing this from Midwestwhips after Comic-Con. Need to save money for the convention.

ichnob

I saw his whips on eBay and wondered if anyone here knows how he is as a whip maker. At the moment, it doesn't look like he has a website. Thanks for posting some impressions so far. Wonder if anyone else on these boards are willing to try those whips out.

ichnob

Great read. Honestly, I feel that you could write an autobiography of your quest for a Raiders hat. I'm sure that it would be a great read among Indy fans, gear heads, fedora wearers, and even film historians. Always looking forward to reading your posts.

ichnob

It arrived today! Safe and sound. Since this is my first ever stock whip, I was a little surprised and nervous when Laurent told me that I'd have to attach the thong to the handle myself. :shock: Thankfully, there were instructions included for the French Grapevine. Please excuse my noobness in tyin...

ichnob

Just keep cracking.

ichnob

Lol...what have I done... There are at least three red and black Performance Hybrid Nylon Whips on their site.

Can't wait til she arrives, Lauren. Will definitely take some pics. Now...to find someone to take them while I'm whip cracking.

ichnob

Yeah, you need an internet photo hosting site like photobucket, imageshack or flickr. They'll usually have a setting that allows you to already crop the size of your photos so that they'll fit under the regulation size for this site.

ichnob

I think it's because he saw my in gear at last year's Comic Con. He asked if my jacket was a Wested, and I told him it was a Todd's.

ichnob

Holy nylon!

Hopefully you don't throw out your shoulder trying to crack that thing. That must really be a workout.

ichnob

Good to know that my eyes weren't deceiving me when I saw the episode last night. I was also checking to see if he was wearing his AB to match the jacket, but he wasn't. Sad to hear about his AB, but congrats to the lucky fan who has/is getting it.

ichnob

Now for the other question: Todd's standard or custom?

ichnob

That red and black looks awesome.

ichnob

I got my bag last June. I only wore it sporadically, like for conventions (even when I'm not dressing up as Indy), amusement parks, etc. However, since I got my netbook last month, I find myself carrying it around more often.

ichnob

Beautiful looking whips. Do you regularly do custom orders like that? Also, are those roo or cow?

ichnob

So it's a Campman? Maybe a Pentown?

ichnob

This is great news. Can't wait to get the compilation next month. I still haven't ordered the first two volumes, so the compilation is music to my ears.

ichnob

Welcome to the forums. That's pretty awesome.

*continues to try to save money for a jacket*

ichnob

So they're around $100 for COW members?!

Sooo tempting. If only I didn't go on a shopping spree already this month. Gotta wait til next month, haha. Just one question: does it come in black and red for a Chicago Bulls fan?

ichnob

I like the OP of this thread. I was searching for prices for a TN Raiders jacket, and saw that some of them were posted here. Looks like $750 is the lowest price for his jacket offerings, I take it.

ichnob

Beautiful hats. Terrible about that lawsuit, though. Man, I must be more frugal so I can afford an AB in the future.

ichnob

Beautiful looking jacket. So is this how Todd is doing all of his custom jackets now? Looks like I'll be inching closer and closer to Todd's for my first real jacket purchase.

ichnob

Congrats on the new record and looking forward to your dvd in August. Your IOAB definitely wants to learn a few more tricks.

ichnob

Thanks. Since Gus managed to redo his website, I'm sure that the orders just keep coming in for him. Don't know how he keeps it up, but glad that he can. Looking forward to placing an order in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing, Vaderbreath.

ichnob

How was the wait time on it? I'm leaning to get one of these whips to add to my use before I jump on the 'roo bandwagon. Still loving my IOAB and not going to give that one up ever, but looking to further SA my Indygear.

ichnob

Man, the SOC hat was the main reason I fell in love with the fedora as a child. If this come to fruition, it'll be the 3rd/4th Penman hat I'll get and will definitely be the de-facto hat to wear with any other Indygear.

ichnob

So as a present for myself, I finally have ordered my second Penman hat. Can't wait for it to arrive in a few months. It's mainly going to be a dress hat, so sorry, no adventuring. In the meantime, here's a pic of my first Penman, labeled as a "Raiders Gray" before it's official name as &q...

ichnob

He also has his own thread in the Cairo Bazaar section: found here.

ichnob

Great looking hat. I've never seen that type of crown before. It looks awesome.

Also, it looks brown to me.

ichnob

I cut mine off as well. But now that I have a seam ripper, I might as well get that small excess left from the divider out of there.

ichnob

I should really take a picture of it soon. But I recently purchased a new netbook (with a 10.2" screen) and was looking for a bag to carry it in. Since most good messenger bags that aren't modeled towards school children or anime fans cost a lot more than I was willing to pay, I thought I could...

ichnob

Your hat look so messed up it's not funny...it's actually awesome! I like the very worn-in look, like you've actually been to Cairo or the Well of Souls. Great job.

ichnob

As promised, here are pics: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/ichnob/P1010630.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/ichnob/P1010631.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/ichnob/P1010634.jpg And a pic of the bow, because it's the "it" thing to do right now: http://i4.photobucket...

Yes please...I love that my hat from you has my name on it.

Alright guys...I'll post pics later, because it's really late at night, but I just want to say that I got my Penman on Saturday, which I wasn't expecting until November or something. Seriously, it came so unexpectedly that I was almost late for work because of it. I open the door to go drive to work...

woah... anybody have mistaken you for Adam from mythbusters?

Hehe...just about to say this as well. Also, nice job with the hat so far.

ichnob

The best way to appreciate it is to put everything on a mannequin and have that in a huge glass display case, locked away in a safe for no one to see but yourself. Just kidding, except for the mannequin display. It's actually a pretty cool sight to see. But wearing the individual items or the whole ...

ichnob

So when you say they're even size boots only, what does that mean? Just whole number sizes (no ½ sizes) or literally even number sizes (like size 8, 10, and 12)? Please explain to a greenhorn like myself.

ichnob

That's fine. If Ron's in, he'll usually get back to you within a day. Hatsdirect has very good customer service. And if you didn't bash the hat, you are fine for a return/exchange.

ichnob

I personally don't think it's good to get a child a fur hat because he'll outgrow it very soon. And there's only so much a hat stretcher can do. But it seems that the parent is dead set on getting her child a fur hat. I think you should shoot an e-mail to JerseyJones (Camptown Hats). I thought I rem...

It's a shame you didn't then! </sarcasm> ;-)

Is it your first whip? If so, what a way to start.

If it's not, then what number whip is it? Also, did you get the "J" series whip with the emblem on the knot?

ichnob

Don't be afraid to pinch the center dent on your crown either.

ichnob

When it's its first bash, yes. Especially if the hat is as soft as you say it is. You can deepen the bash if you'd like. Plus, it popping back out means that if you dislike how it looks initially, you can easily fix it. It'll take a day or two for it to finally settle. I've had my Fed IV for a few m...
