I'm getting married in July, and my fiancee wanted me to have something special to wear for our wedding so she suggested a wedding hat. After much research, including the video below, I purchased the Advintage Masterpiece. The hat arrived last week, and it is absolutely stunning! I've owned other b...

I don't have have one, but am tentatively saving up for an Advintage Beaver, and have been thinking about going for a MasterPiece. From the description of the MasterPiece, "The MasterPiece Fedora is blocked in a special method, that lets the felt hairs re-arrange and merge, which significantly ...

This is by far my FAVORITE thread every year!

I spotted this one on Amazon that looked good (wool blend)

The people who complain that an Indy shirt is too thin haven't seen an original, or a Noel Howard. This line of thinking ends up with the flannel like first Todds. It's not a thick cotton shirt. I wish I could get Indy shirts in a variety of fabrics because I loved that first and 2nd run of Todd's ...

Adventure Dog

These shirts are going to be made in house, in the USA. Maybe the only Indy shirt to be so :). The only Indy shirt I've ever LOVED was my Todd's, because the material wasn't dressy. If this was a custom shirt, I might sign up for it, otherwise my long torso and long arms don't need another OTR shirt...

We've got a live one here!

Congratulations on your plunge! Please share pictures when it all arrives.

Welcome aboard Ghostman! We're thrilled to have you, and you question is one that I think all of us have faced at one point or another. The overwhelmingly good news is that now, more than ever, you have lots of options when it comes to gear choices. To narrow down the list of options, my first quest...

Adventure Dog

I'd also like to add jerky of some nature (maybe Pemmican?) to the bag.

Hey, you're not you when you're hungry.

Adventure Dog

Can't wait to see your finished gear list! Please post up pictures and a review of the WPG shirt when you get it if you've got time.

Adventure Dog

WPG has changed their fit a few times, so you're bound to get a variety of answers. I wear a 34-35 sleeve, and I found the Medium Tall excessively long in body and arms. I think today I'd opt for a Small, and I wear a 15 neck 34 sleeve. To get a GREAT fitting shirt, be sure to hit up a tailor who ca...

Adventure Dog

Gadzooks, I always thought the flying squirrel issue had more to do with where the arm holes were placed (the lower the more egregious squirrel look), and less with the gussets. Hopefully someone else will pipe in with more on that. Gussets would help with the flying squirrel look, but higher arm ho...

Why are we discussing HJ and Advintage hats on a " Penman post 'em up " thread ?? I believe they were discussing whether the Penman Everyman was using the same felt bodies as the Advintage Harrison, and Adventurebilt Henry, which could be it's own thread (albeit a short one), but it seems...

Adventure Dog

You show great improvement in the last set of hats! Fantastic work! What size hat you are able to make?

Adventure Dog

Indyfan89, Many of us have been in your shoes. First off: Take a deep breath and remember "It's just a leather jacket". I panicked over my first custom hat, and now I'm already contemplating replacing it (or at least upgrading it). Are you referring to an Off-The-Rack Wested Jacket, or wou...

Adventure Dog

Hey Jack! Good luck on all of your endeavors! it seems that life always presents new challenges in batches, rather than in well timed waves. We all appreciate your good will towards this community! I am not a MODERATOR, but if you plan on doing another pre-order or special run of hats, it would be v...

Adventure Dog

I have some old felt stock. About 5 Raiders bodies and 5 clipper bodies. I will offer them out for 100 pounds each, mostly to thank the community, but also so some cash strapped members can get their hands on a handmade fedora. Wow, what a generous offer! You're about to make 10 members very happy!...

Adventure Dog

From the hem style that are on the Todd's, I don't think it's possible either. Because the hem SEAM is actually at the bottom of the trouser, instead of the trouser hem being folded up into the pant leg, lengthening it out would be.... I don't want to say impossible, but I don't know how many tailor...

In the States we've just begun advertising "Fall" apparel, so the summer blends of cotton/linen blends will be both discounted and less available until next spring. I find that GAP and Old Navy have a run on that particular blend. Nothing SA, but a good place to start

Adventure Dog

Certainly the cheapest beaver hat on the block (pun intended)! I'm beginning to think I may need to get another hat.

What stiffness did you choose?

senorjacob wrote:And yes it does have gussets.

I wasn't sure if it had gussets, which allow for more movement in the arms without the jacket "raising" up in the body.

Thank you for the closeup of the leather. I think I'm now convinced to get one!

I see underarm gussets!

I was wondering when someone would buy one of these. It looks fantastic! Compared to the picture on the website, yours doesn't look distressed at all.

Overall, it looks like Magnoli nailed it out the the park once again!

Adventure Dog

Late to the party as usual, but I'm near Frederick, Maryland.

All the details can be found on the Todd's Costumes Facebook page (link included). If you don't have facebook, I can PM you some details.

Adventure Dog

I love the straight on profile shot! Congrats on your new hat!

Adventure Dog

It's been 9 months! Any news on these yet? From what I know, Todd is currently focusing on Star Wars props, as that is where the costume climate is headed. In a few years when Indiana Jones makes a return to theaters, I can imagine Todd will re-stock Indy gear. Don't keep your hopes up for much rig...

Hey all! This is Evan, District Goods is my Etsy shop. Finally made it over to this board. Welcome aboard, and excellent looking leather! I would love to see a 1 1/2 belt. Think you'll add straps to the mix? I'm in Northern Maryland if you're ever looking to do a meet up with another fan! Or, if I ...

Adventure Dog

I like the darker gray. It seems dressier to me. The AdVintage looks fantastic!

Adventure Dog

Hey Ray, maybe with a few other East Coasters we could get something going?

I don't even own a whip, so I'll work on my whip cracking vocal impressions.

Adventure Dog

Why am I asking the wrong people and why the lol? Because most people here have multiple hats, AND are happy with the ones they have. To us, it would be worth having another hat and also being happy with having one already. This is a slippery slope, and once you fall down, there's only Sarah's Hat ...

Adventure Dog

I love the idea of Indy needing to change his "image" to appear more or less respectable. As a glasses wearer (no contacts), I only have a mild prescription for distance. I can drive, read, and watch movies without them, but I would rather wear them to see perfectly. I certainly prefer wea...

Adventure Dog

My 10 year old Magnoli bag is on it's way out the door, and I was planning on replacing it with a Todd's off his Garage Sale Facebook page. Are you saying that the Magnoli bag has more pockets, dividers, and storage options than a typical MKVII replica?

Adventure Dog

I had a Fed III regular, and I always felt that the crown was too tall. Mine even started warping around the brim like yours when I wasn't wearing it. I always assumed it needed to be re-flanged because the felt was so... floppy. But yours looks good on your noggin'. Someone else can come along and ...

Adventure Dog

What a great find! Don't forget to clean and condition it well, I've found that most second hand jackets have never been "properly" taken care of.

And as long as it doesn't smell like mold, clorox, or cigarette smoke, I think you're in the clear!

I just got my fedora and enjoy wearing it daily (less due to that wonderful Maryland humidity). When it rains, the hat has kept my glasses streak free. Plus it's a wonderful substitute to regular haircuts :P As many of the others have expressed, wearing the hat is all about your own style. The fedor...

The hat came a day before my birthday! Great job LLS! I've been wearing this daily. I've already rolled it up, sat on it, thrown it around.... Here are pictures I took shortly after getting the hat (pre-punishment). It already feels and looks different than from when I took the pictures. I'm heading...

First 3 films wear rabbit, the 4th was beaver. First movie were more of a custom built from HJ and the next two were off the rack Hats from HJ. 4th custom beaver from Adventurebilt.

My hat just shipped. $\:D/$

Adventure Dog

They were taken from him by Belloq at the beginning of the film. In my head cannon, Belloq was the kind of antagonist would find some way to return the items he took from Indy, therefore making himself appear the gentleman and further infuriating Indy. Belloq enjoyed provoking/teasing Indy, we know...

Adventure Dog

Looks like they've had some great improvements since my Fed III reg in the last 10 years! That third picture really makes me consider going non-turned for my fedora.

Thanks for sharing!

Any updates Whiskyman? We'd love to see your "new to you" hat!

I just heard from David that my hat will be ready in 10 days. Just in time for me olde birthday!

Adventure Dog

I should receive a new (to me) Garrison hat either tomorrow or the day after. I'm really quite nervous - it'll be my first proper Indy hat in a few years. The only hat I presently own is a very beat up Christys which I never wear. The hat was my main reason for getting into Indygear and I had a who...

Yeah, that hide on the right is beautiful! What leather is it?

I guess I just had my first "gear" dream: I dreamt I got my Garrison in the mail! I guess I'd been reading a little bit too much of this forum right before bed. Monday will mark 8 weeks since I ordered. If it takes the whole 10 weeks, I should get it right before my birthday at the end of ...

Way to expensive consider it is not SA at all Bill Kelso in Lambskin is about $716. Magnoli custom is $635 in goatskin. It's not the cheapest jacket on the market, but it's certainly not the worst offender. Kangaroo hide is very durable, and I don't think any of companies are offering a Roo hide ja...

Thanks for sharing these photos John! I don't remember seeing them when I visited your workshop a few years ago. I'm glad that your infamy reaches into so many circles! Do you still carry a tape measure everywhere you go?

I always liked the 3 hole bag. Isn't it a MKV instead of the MKVII the bag typically is?
