Here's another pair from Lands End Canvas that look pretty spot on to me. The only problem is that the color seems a little dark. They have rubber soles. Lands End Canvas has sales pretty often, so now may not be the time. If you wait a bit, these might be a steal. Edit: Here's a code for 25% off an...

It's been a while since I got it, but here's my small Todd's standard. I love it! The only thing that worries me slightly is the sleeve length, though going up to a size medium doesn't really add much in that dimension. I think I just have to get used to my gorilla arms, haha. http://i39.tinypic.com...

Sounds simple enough.. Thanks!

Maybe a spray adhesive? Not to derail the thread, but I'm inquiring about this for a life-size Jawa I'm making where it wouldn't necessarily matter if the cloth ended up being hard as a rock from glue,

Thanks for the advice. If I give it a shot, I'd definitely apply it damp. Is there any way to set it in so that it would be permanent?

Is Fuller's Earth likely to rub off and make a mess? I'm considering using it on some cloth for a display, but I wouldn't want it to get all over the place.

I did try out the sample fitting method, but mostly just to see how long it would be, and for the sleeves. I wasn't quite sure how to fold it up to get the chest measurement to look right, so I just based it on my own chest measurement. I'm really happy with how it looks and I've been wearing it sin...

Sorry for the double post, but my jacket just arrived and I love it! At first I was a little concerned that it might be too small, but I think it's just because I'm not used to wearing a jacket like this. I have plenty of freedom of movement, and I think it looks great! I don't have any comparison, ...

That's a fantastic picture Bartram! The hat looks great, and it goes really well with the suit. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm rather pleased with how the bash came out myself :D I didn't use any steam for it. It was relatively pliable after a little working, so I got the bash how you see i...

I just got my Fed IV today, and I'm so excited! It came way faster than I expected, and it is such an awesome hat! On to pictures: Just for fun.... IF BARN-RAISING HAS A NAME IT MUST BE.... INDIANA JAKOB! http://i42.tinypic.com/1so2yo.jpg And my first attempt at bashing a hat. I was going for a Raid...

Thanks again for the suggestions, everyone. I just ordered a small, so I'll be sure to follow up once I receive it. I'm excited!

It took a while, but I think this came out to be a pretty nice shot...

Thanks for the suggestion, Mountaineer. I'll definitely give that a shot!

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place for it, but I would really appreciate some advice. I'm finally going to be getting an Indy jacket to complete my gear (for now), and I decided on the Todd's standard. My only problem is with the sizing. According to my measurements and the chart on th...

That is a gorgeous whip! I love the katana-style wraps. Definitely a classy piece

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'll get some pics of the hat up in the following days.

I'll be going for a Fed IV at some point, but for now, this hat has the look (somewhat) and I'm actually pretty fond of it. Should fare well for this year's DragonCon!

Well, I finally got my Todd's medium in today (along with a web belt), and I have to say I love it! It looks and fits great! Here's my first picture with all of my gear together except for the holster that's on its way and the jacket that I'll order eventually, haha. http://i33.tinypic.com/iftkbo.jp...

I got a shipping notice for my Medium as well! Yippee!!!

I actually don't own one of costumebase's belts, but in his auction for some star wars belts he specifies that they're made out of pleather, so I would guess that that doesn't stop just with the SW belts.

I asked him when they'd be in stock again and he said they'd probably have some around September if I recall correctly.

Well I'm glad to know I'm not alone on this.... I figured I was doing something wrong. The whip is a kinda rough cowhide, and it's definitely not the best whip so I have to muscle it a bit, which probably adds to the blistering factor. To top it all off, I have notoriously sweaty hands... sounds lik...

Yeah.... I've been holding it a little bit differently, holding onto the knot a little bit farther down, so I think the blisters are a combination of that and just not being used to it. I'll have to work on my grip.

Hey everyone, I've had my whip since Tuesday and I've been practicing about 15-20 minutes every day. It's been a lot of fun, but I've developed some pretty big blisters on my hand. So my question for you is: Is this a normal thing? Or am I just holding the whip wrong?

I loved the end! Thanks for the quick tutorial, it's really helpful. I wish I could crack with such ease! (time to practice)

I just got mine, and being my first whip, I really can't compare it with anything, but this thing is awesome! It took me a while to get the hang of it (and to realize there was a knot in the fall for shipping XD), but there's really nothing like that first CRACK and the "Did I do that? O.o"...

Same deal with Mediums, unfortunately.

I got my bag a short time ago, but I haven't used it since I don't have a strap yet. I have to say this thing is really great, though! Looks fantastic and feels tough as nails. I can see this bag lasting decades, which I suppose isn't surprising since the originals did the same!

Those look awesome! I think I'm gonna order a set. Thanks for the heads up. I'm always looking for daily-wear Indy-style shirts.

I just got some skechers today. I couldn't find the Traffic style, but then again it wasn't on their website either, so I'm assuming they just changed it slightly and started calling them Mariners. I really like them, they're comfortable, and they're close enough for me especially for about 50 bucks...

It's a good-looking whip! I actually just bought one of the natural tan whips from that seller. It looked rather nice in the pictures, but I think I'll end up darkening the knot to give it more of Raiders feel.

Thanks for the help and the comments guys!

lpa, I doubt I'd be able to wait until fall to wear a new hat... haha. My head's been pretty sweaty for the past couple of weeks, but I think it's worth it!

I just got a couple of these in blue and green (the short sleeved ones) to have some more shirts to wear with my hat. They're surprisingly nice. I wouldn't have expected this quality out of such an inexpensive shirt. If you can find some in the khaki color I'd say go for it.

Hi everyone, this'll be my first post after a month or so of reading before I decided to join. This is really a great forum with tons of information, and it's been really helpful so far. I just got my first piece of gear a little over a week ago: a Jaxon Iconoclast, and despite how incredibly inaccu...
