FYI, I've just posted pics of my G&B down in the Cairo Bazaar.

Nice. That close up looks like Keanu Reeves in an Indy Fedora, lol

I thought it was a young Stallone.

Well I just sold my AB Henry and still lovin' my Fed IV.

RobocopIndy

I've ordered 2 Fed Ivs... one for me and my son. That said, I am selling my Adventurebuilt Henry, which has only been worn once. I found that it looked a bit too tall on me for some reason. I had purchased a Fed IV for my dad for Christmas a couple of years ago and I really like the way it looks. Th...

I think it was July.

RobocopIndy

Mine's being made right now! Bernardo says I should have it sometime by next Thur at the latest.

RobocopIndy

I had an old brown leather jacket that I'd wear to work and after a couple of years of wearing my laptop case over the top of my jacket, the strap eventually wore a place on my left shoulder... so I think I'll wear my MkVII underneath my new G&B Expo.

They usually have black neckties in there, maybe even some clip ons if you're afraid of Nazi's choking you out with yours.

Fortunately I was at one time a police officer, so I have one of those clip-ons lying around.

Yes it did and we'll be going back there to visit on a non-festival week-end to enjoy it as well.

RobocopIndy

My family went out on an "Adventure" yesterday to Mt. Airy, NC and they were having their Fall Festival, which we really didn't hear about until the night before. We were just interested in seeing some of their "Mayberry" locations as this is the place where Andy Griffith grew up...

RobocopIndy

Hmm... guess I won't be getting my replacement gun belt anytime soon. I had to send my original back for a bit larger size.

No kidding. A deluxe, with shipping included, is about $140.

I just got my AB Henry the other week, but I did order a Fed IV Deluxe for my dad last night.

RobocopIndy

:shock: It's a beautiful hat and I'd love to order one for myself someday soon. I'm just curious to know if anyone else who has received their hats is experiencing the same problem RobocopIndy is having with his when it comes to not wanting to hold the bash? :-k Hey Pitfall Harry, please excuse me ...

RobocopIndy

My hat is a 59.

I haven't tried any steam yet... it's so soft that I wonder if it has any at all...? I have no clue since this is my 1st ever Fedora.

RobocopIndy

Here's another try...

RobocopIndy

Thanks for the tip... here's a re-try. One minute it looks good, the next, it's lost the look. Well, I'll keep trying.

RobocopIndy

It came to me via USPS Registered mail and all I had was the postcard... but, my mailman is good and he came back later!

RobocopIndy

Guess what? It just arrived... am I the 1st?
It's a very nice hat; very soft and "pliable"... but again this is my 1st hat, so I'm no expert. I need to attempt to bash it (first timer so gimme a break) and maybe I'll post some pics if it's worthy.

Thanks Marc!!

RobocopIndy

Any updates Marc?

RobocopIndy

Well, I received the shoes yesterday and can report that they do fit true to size. Thanks for the advice Schmidty!

RobocopIndy

TheMechanic wrote:Schmidty says "they fit true to size."

I just ordered my true size from Schmidty last Thursday (size 11) which he happened to have in stock... (maybe because of all you that order 10.5 instead of your true size?

) So, I'll let you know sometime this week about the fit.

RobocopIndy

Hmm... wonder where I'm at on the list?

RobocopIndy

Try a revolutionary war re-enactment in July, then let me know what's worse.

Wool Continental Line Coat with linen lining
Linen Weskit (waistcoat)
Linen Shirt
Linen Overalls
Knee Socks

...and a tri-corn hat that doesn't block the sun!

Do the pants cover the black padded collar? Otherwise they're nice boots.

Of course... unless you wear "high waters".

RobocopIndy

They sure do sound like a good work boot. Are they as RED as in the photos? They may be... but I like them anyway. The camera makes them look more red than they are I think, especially in bright light. In natual indoor light, they look more brown. When they get worn in and distressed, I'm sure they...

... for a total of $135.99 at Bell's in Burlington, NC. Pretty nice for a "close enough" Indy boot.

(pics later)

They even give you a small .75oz container of Pecard's with your purchase... how neat is that?

RobocopIndy

Yes, mine was sealed... but it was just like a standard UPS plastic bag with a heavy tape seal, only plain white.

RobocopIndy

Nice!! Everywhere I look, new ones are no less than $700.

I would prefer "brownish" as opposed to "reddish".

Was that because it was a Brazilian? There's one on gunbroker.com now for that price range.

Yeah, tell me about it... for now it's wear it inside and set the AC at 72 deg.

Nice Mechanic. Lee called me today for a belt size confirmation... hopefully my order will be out soon. I ordered on 7/11:

1 - Raiders style bag strap
1 - Raiders style gun belt
1 - Raiders style holster

RobocopIndy

I've been eyeing these since the real thing is a little out of reach at the moment. Has anyone tried these since last year?

RobocopIndy

Thanks for the info BlueSkyz and Holt... (but if I mention to the wife that it could last that long, she'll never let me have another!)

Thanks Weston and everyone else for the congrats. Making it 20 years is a big thing these days.

RobocopIndy

As far as leather jackets being heavy or light, I can say that my 2 leather jackets from Harley-Davidson are much heavier than the new G&B goat that I just received today. I couldn't imagine how much lighter a lamb would be than the goat ...?

RobocopIndy

Ahh.. the wait begins.

RobocopIndy

...some features that were changed/added ...I requested that the zipper be changed to zip from the right, like a regular men's jacket, instead of from the left, and a hidden "press stud" at the bottom of the storm flap was added. I wouldn't say unpopular. It just seems that the other hide...

Robo, I see you have a 48R and say it fits a bit big. Is your chest size measured 48 or did you size up a bit? You say it fits a bit big - do you mean in the shoulders? I ask because I'm trying to figure if these tend to go a bit on the roomy or snug side of the fit spectrum. Jacket looks nice! Tha...

RobocopIndy

Well, I'm now the proud owner of a G&B goat... my 1st Indy jacket. I can say that it's very nice and fits a little large, but hopefully with a little distress over time, it will "draw up" a little. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/Batman2K5/GBfront.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/alb...

Look at it this way... more Wested's for the non-SA wanting masses; more TN's for the SA clientele. How many of the original 777 are left?
