Well, there was the time when I took my girls out trick-or-treating back in the late 80's, I had on my old A2 jacket and a fedora. I stood in the background waiting for my daughters to get their candy and we'd then walk to the next house. A little old lady leaned out her door of one house to give o...

Garands are awesome rifles. I enjoy shooting them when an opportunity presents itself.....as are Colt Pythons. :TOH: They are/were tempermental in terms of timing at times, but when they're timed right, they're tack drivers! A real pleasure to shoot. Regards! Michaelson You know, now that you menti...

Local indoor range had a .22 Carbine for sale a few weeks back. Was in poor shape and didn't appear to be matching parts, but cool looking none the less. Garand would be my first choice to own, followed by a BAR. Have a friend who has an excellent condition Garand that I have shot several times, you...

I believe it's the size issue Indiana Joyce has with Todd's. He can't get his size anymore.

I understand the budget thing.

Those look good, but like they said, go have them repaired, a nice Vibram heel will do wonders, and very inexpensive.

Has there ever been a group of guys so excited about a pair of pants? :-k Maybe Scottsmen in January? :rolling: :rolling: We Scotts love the fresh breeze blowing up our kilts in the morning, let's ya know your alive!

I do miss the temperate Seattle weather. Everything is green - and there's a reason! But if the mood hit you, the mountains were never more than 30 minutes away. At 8,000 feeet, Paradise (Mt Rainier) was always cool enough to wear a jacket and the beauty of the alpine scenery - well, cornfields in ...

I purchased my Todd's in 2008, and really like them. About a year after I bought them I decided to replace the heels with something newer since they were wearing out. I took them to a shoe repair shop that has been in business 50+ years for the repair, his comment was they were a good quality boot a...

Michaelson You make a good point actually.

I like the way these shirts look too, nice find Indy Croft. I have a linen shirt bought several years ago, it became softer the more I wore it and washed.

I especially liked it in the winter, feels more comfortable.

Was watching Pawn Stars last night, and a man walked in with a bullwhip claiming it to be an authentic Indiana Jones bullwhip. He said he purchased it from one of the stunt men (no name was given) and that it was used during filming. He believed it was used by Harrison Ford and thought he could get ...

I purchased some of the original boots Todd offered and decided when they had worn enough to have new leather soles and Vibram heels and sole protectors installed. It cost me $65.00, but was well worth the expense as it made these my favorite shoes to wear. They are absolutely great, and comfortable...

That's good news IB, usually the soles will seperate (unglue) which is why you would have to replace the soles, as I did. Glad you have a good pair, heels should last awhile .

I was just looking on-line for shops in Charlotte, so that I could try to have them re-soled over my fall break, and I found what seems to be a really nice place right in downtown. Under 'soles and heels' on their site here is what they have listed (or at least what would apply to my boots): Men's ...

Try to be specific with the repair shop, IndianaBogart. They will have different options for you to choose from. I was fortunate to have mine resoled by an orthopedic shoe repair shop. I had them put on leather soles, Vibram heels and a Vibram sole protector. They looked the same as original, but ma...

Ranger, my son is 14 and has an 8' whip he likes. It is probably overall the best length for him. We also have 10' and 4' long whips that he uses. The longer the whip, the slower it is. the shorter whip means you have to be quicker with your reactions. I think most will agree the 8' is a good choice...

[quote="Indiana Jeff"]If you wash in cold and hang dry (as I do) you shouldn't have any problems with shrinkage.

Pretty much what I do, wash in cold, just hang up and let it dry. Figure why take the chance and put it in a dryer and then find out I shouldn't have.
