Fabulous!

Bartram

Agreed all around!

Honestly, I was surpirsed the article captured as much nuance as it did for this quirky hobby or ours. Really cool to see our people lifted up!

Bartram

That made me laugh out loud!

Bartram

Customer service!

Sorry about your sleeve. Let us know how it turns out.

Bartram

Likewise, if you make a 10footer!

B

Bartram

WOW! Looks amazing, but I'm thinking a 10ft-er is for me.
Do you have a website? You work looks great!

Thanks,
B

I'd LOVE to see it? I don't know that I explored Peter's work. Does he have a website?

I'm thinking 10ft. I've got a Todd's 10ft now, so that feels like the "right" length for me.

Bartram

Ok team, It's time for me to pull the trigger on the Raider's whip. I've found that screen accurate minutiae matters to me and I'd like this to be a terminal purchase (meaning I'm not going in planning to upgrade it later). In researching the forums to find active whip makers, it looks like Nolan (a...

Bartram

Thank you for bringing some life back to this thread. My Fed IV was the first "real" Indy hat I purchased and will always have a soft spot in my heart because of it. Plus, I have always really liked the Fed's lines, too. Gets most of the hat really right, to my mind. Mine could use some lo...

Bartram

Looks amazing! (I still owe this thread some pics of mine).
Which leather is that, FftT?

Bartram

Just heard from Andy that my jacket has shipped! What's more, it has already made the trip overseas and is in NYC as we speak. Tracking number confirms that I should have it by the new year. Whoo hoo!

Pics to follow.

B

Bartram

Congrats guys! Looking forward to those pics!

I meant to echo this sentiment as well. A big thank you to everyone on this thread. Your input, perspective, and wisdom has been so helpful. Y'all are the best.

Relic Hunter ordered! Hawaii style. Clock ticking...
I can't wait!

Bartram

Agreed:)
This is as close as an OTR rack pair of gloves has come in a long time, but yeah, it's not dead on.

Good point.

B

Bartram

I'm sure everyone knows this already, but in case you don't, I walked into ACE Hardware yesterday and found these SA Wells Lamont leather gloves on the rack for $12.99. So, if you've been looking for an SA pair of Indy gloves that are not custom, head over to your local ACE and see if they've got 'e...

Bartram

Here is my Kelso Hawaii Striated Lambskin. Just arrived this morning after an mini odyssey to track it down in my NYC hood. First impressions is that I absolutely love it, the fit is far different from my US Wings Antique Cow Hero which will always be a treasure. They are two of a kind, and both un...

Bartram

Amen to that!

Andy, thank you. Thank you so much.

I'll be in touch!

Hello Bartram, I just went through my own decision making process, but I prefer the Cairo all the way around. Nothing wrong with the pointed collar and pockets of the Hawaii, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I checked my measurements at least 9 times and looked at so many photos before pla...

Bartram

Hey Bartram, The wider collar looks pretty cool. I thought I preferred the Cairo collar, but really, I think Wested does that best on their standard jackets. The Cairo collars I've seen on the Kelso jackets here don't have me convinced; they look a little too curved for my taste, anyway. The Hawaii...

Bartram

Alright gang, I need your input: I'm going to buy a Relic Hunter and, after almost 10 years in this hobby, it will be my first jacket purchase. Given the quality of the Kelso, I'm hoping it will be my last Raider's jacket, but that also makes the stakes feel really high. With this price tag, I want ...

Bartram

+1 on those pocket flaps. I'm wondering the same thing before I pull the trigger.

Thanks,
B

Bartram

Glennville, this is super helpful. Did you have much correspondence over it, or just order off the rack?

B

Bartram

So, I've decided that the Relic Hunter is the jacket for me, but I'd love some advice on sizing. Anyone ordered one in a "Long" cut. I am long waisted and wear a 41L in a suit coat. Does anyone else wear a Long in a sportcoat, and if so, did you order a "Long" in your Relic Hunte...

Bartram

Diego,
Do you have any recent pictures?

Thanks,
B

Bartram

Gorak, These pics are so helpful. Thanks! Would you say the scallop in the pockets is more true on the Kelso? It looks that way to my eyes. Also, what jacket are you wearing in those full gear shots in your photobucket? It looks fantastic? Is that a Kelso or S&J? Thanks for the advice indeed. B

Bartram

First, off: thanks to everyone for replying. It was crickets for a while there, so thanks. I'm on my phone right now, And want to examine these pics on my laptop in full size. Speaking of size, Gorak, how was the fit between the two jackets. It looks like S&J is a more custom experience, but I d...

Amazing!! What a killer outfit. Well played.

It's time to buy THE Raider's Jacket and I've have narrowed my search down to the Steele and Jones HERO in Ribby Merino and Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter "Cairo" . I'd love some input from the community on the pros and cons of both options (aside from the obvious price differential). And, if t...

Bartram

I signed up for another pair.
Todd's pants are the most SA version I've come across yet.

Jump on the bandwagon;)

Great photo.

Fabulous!!
Can't wait to see it with the suit.

Those TOD tux jackets look amazing. I have long wanted one. I do, however, have a Pankot bow tie and, Nebraska S. is right, I wear it all the time.

Ordered my first Penman today!

Talked to John for a while on the phone. What a guy. What a hat.
I can't wait.

Mitch,
Those photos are amazing! I especially like the one in the dunes.
You nailed it.

Mic drop accepted;)

Bartram

Looks great, man. I have to say, there are higher end hats of all stripes, but that Fed IV is really solid. Worn well, it can rival many challengers, and you wear it well. I'll admit that the Fed was my first Indy hat, so I've got a soft spot for it. But there are some essences of the Indy fedora it...

Bartram

Bring it;)

Bartram

Solid work, sir!
Were you going for Last Crusade or Temple of Doom? If I had to guess, I'd say Crusade.

Welcome aboard, and down the rabbit hole:)

Best,
B

Bartram

Looking sharp sir!

B

Bartram

Nailed it, Geno!

Looks good and looks good on ya.

I've got a special place in my heart for the FED IV. It was my first Indy hat and still looks great.
Enjoy this one indeed!

B

Bartram

Thanks, Gorak ! As to the dirt, I can say this: Normally, I only crack my whips on a grass, or some other clean and forgiving surface. But whips are tools, as Anthony DeLongis would say, and since he practices all day on dirt and dust, it doesn't seem to bother him, so I don't think a little dirt o...

Bartram

I get ribbed for dressing like Indiana Jones when I've got a suit and a grey fedora on. It's the hat - it's always the hat - even when it should be the shirt. I want to say, "you want to see 'dressing like Indiana Jones' I'll show you 'dressing like Indiana Jones!" But then I remember that...

Bartram

Quindy,
Looks great!
These pants are just getting right are they not.
Thanks Todd!

B

Bartram

Jedirun,
You have chosen wisely;)

However, I too tried to grab one of Todd's whips and they are out of stock.He's making more, but I'm not sure what the time table is on that.

But that's the most time honored part of this hobby, right - the waiting

Best,
B

Bartram

Mine came yesterday and they are perfect! Better than I could have hoped - in almost every way. The cut and drape is spot on. The fabric is exceptional both in comfort and color! Every turn I made in the pants seem to remind me of a different scene from Raiders or one of the production stills. Todd ...

Bartram

Well, I got mine today at work. I was so excited that i tried them on during my break and to my....disappointment, the dimensions of these pants are very, very baggy. The waist was just right, but just entirely too much room everywhere. To reduce all the room in the crotch area, i had to pull them ...

+ 1!!!!
Looks like the color is superior too - for Raider's pants.

Can't wait for mine to arrive!

Bartram

Indyclone,
Looks great! You wear them well!

Question, do you normally wear a 32 inseam?
And if so, is the break similar to what we're seeing in the photo's above?

Thanks,
B

P.S. Oh, and is that an 8ft or 10ft Todd's whip you've got there?
