So this length of awesomeness arrived in the post two days ago, cracked overhead on the first attempt with next to no effort. Just stunning. All the praise for Bernardo's whips doesn't begin to describe how amazing this whip is. I'm an amateur whip cracker and this whip makes me appear FAR more skil...

Clutters

Great full gear shot! Thanks for the pics.

Clutters

Fifthchamber - thanks for the link, that is one awesome looking whip! I would love to see some photos of how it has aged.
Still waiting to hear from Bernardo on mine

Clutters

Hey fifthchamber, did your whip ever come in? Got any pics?

Clutters

Thanks for the timeframe info. My Raiders 2 was ordered and paid for in early December last year, but I guess I've got a couple of months yet before it comes in...

Clutters

Great looking whips! Out of interest, when did you guys order them from Bernardo?

Clutters

I was there on saturday, didn't dress up, didn't buy much as there weren't any real bargains. I just wanted to see Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Given that the population of Melbourne is something like 4million in the metro area, getting a comic convention is a pretty good achievement I think. But yeah...

Clutters

I saw a Global Gear jacket in the flesh at Melbourne Supanova convention last weekend. Not particularly screen accurate. At all. Huge wide sleeves, greasy dark thin leather with a heavily thick quilted interior, made in India. Massive design variations from the film jacket as you can see in the pics...

Clutters

Stunning looking whip! Looking forward to seeing it in some action shots. BTW when did you place your order?

Clutters

For those who are interested, that is a Wade Egan belt with the super whip holder done in a Raiders style, riveted on. So you get all the joy of a double loop holding your whip secure, no need for fishing line, and without close inspection, it appears screen accurate. Combined with the Nowak New Goa...

Clutters

Pretty good I think! I just got my Todd's holster back from Raidersbash after a serious session of wet-blocking and distressing over the end of year period to get it looking like a Raiders holster. Thanks again for that Mike, because as we know, there is no way I could get that done down here with o...

Clutters

Have to agree with the wear-and-fade reports. I bought two Todds about 18 months ago and I have been wearing one of them regularly and the other has been left in the cupboard. The worn one has been worn then washed about every three weeks and it is significantly lighter in colour now in comparison (...

Clutters

Gah! I couldn't stand just looking at these awesome hats anymore! Thanks for all the pictures from everyone in this thread, you finally convinced me, so I got out my Christmas money and ordered a Raiders Rabbit with an Idol Grab bash! Only ...5 months to go until it arrives.

Clutters

I agree. I got mine in Vintage Brown Cavalry Twill this afternoon (thanks again Magnoli!) and they are without doubt the best Raiders offering on the market. I'm freezing the Raiders DVD right now and comparing the pants across a number of scenes and to my eyes, this is the most screen accurate colo...

Clutters

I couldn't stand looking at the photos of these any longer, I just ordered one!

Clutters

What the current options for a resin or similar S&W? Much as I'd like to get the real deal or even Todd's blank firing version, Australian Customs appears to be all over anything that could resemble a gun. Pretty soon this country will outlaw us from making the gun shape with fingers and thumb :...

yes, they are Large

Holt - stop raising the service standards on this board! (

thanks)

Clutters

Hey Weston, thanks for the pics. Quick question: is the size of all these jackets you're wearing a Large? I'm 6 foot 1 inch and a 41 inch chest, 34 inch waist, so I'm thinking a Large would do it, but perhaps Large and Long for the extra sleeves? (I would be taking the beer/cold machine wash option ...

Clutters

stunning effect! I'm also interested in sizing. Being 6"1 with relatively long arms, I'm leaning towards a Long, but I don't want the long body. Anyone got any specs yet?

Clutters

Can anyone say what the most screen-accurate color choice would be if I wanted to get a Fed III and do a Raiders bash?

Clutters

Awesome jackets, wear them with pride.
I have spoken to Riley too and can confirm that he has picked up the reigns and will continue Tony's legacy of legendary customer service and the best Indy jackets available.

Clutters

Looks good! Can you get some pics outdoors in natural light?

Clutters

...I just think this Goat looks the correct thickness and grainyness to me as an overall representation of all the jackets used throughout Raiders. You bet. My Nowak New Goat has exactly the same texture and colour as seen right here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/4117456967_d1db54be57_o.jpg ...

Wow! Now I don't need to image what Clive Owen would look like as Indy. VERY cool look, man. Don't touch the bash!

I wasn't a fan of the leather until I saw it worn. It looks amazing once it's on - so much character and depth. That is one fantastic jacket! Well done.

Clutters

Looking good! Very SA. The first photo shows you're well on your way to this:

Clutters

Thanks Tundra - your jacket is another of Tony's inspirational works!
If the Aussie dollar keeps climbing, I can see myself in the market for TN LC like yours next year...

Clutters

yep - no variation on the pocket specs, 8" by 6.75".
I agree about the collar. Tony asked if I wanted any distressing and I said no, as I planned to beat the fruit out of it myself. He seemed pleased with this course of action.

Clutters

thanks for the tips (and compliments) - I am constantly working on that front crease, this hat is tough!

Clutters

Ok, here's my Raven Bar Bash attempt. My first bash of a hat ever.

Any tips or advice on improving this are welcome!

Clutters

Thanks fellas. This goat is rugged! I have been wearing it as much as possible but it is taking a while to get any creases in it, which I hope is a great sign of durability to come. Here's my specs: 6' 3/4" tall (that's six foot and three quarters of an inch tall), 41" chest A-B 23.5"...

Clutters

and here it is. Jacket 42/888 in Nowak New Goat. Made two more requests: rounded storm flap and zip ending a bit beneath the storm flap as per the "Marion" line shot towards the end of the Flying Wing scene. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4101512739_4d98083bff.jpg http://farm3.static....

The 403 looks great! Hope there is an Australian stockist.

Clutters

Right, sorry, I didn't see the "don't ask" post.

Me too. Will they be available before January? Cheers

Clutters

Tony's goat sounds like the Wested goat I've seen and have. Some bits smooth some grainy. In fact that's goat jackets I've seen full stop - including my G&B. Not a problem. I have owned a Wested Washed Goat and although this leather is durable and interesting, I believe the Nowak New Goat is su...

Thanks for the kind words - your Holy Goat Nowak was the reason I decided to get a Nowak in the first place! I owe you some photos for that, will get some of me wearing it shortly.

Clutters

Great looking jacket Clutters. Is it the 'Nowak Goat'? The thing people need to remember is leather is a natural product with natural variations, including scars, differing thickness areas, etc. If it doesn't have variations it's been processed by man somehow to make it uniform, and those types of ...

Clutters

PSB, since the thread is already here, can we see a photo of the shoulder area you describe? PS - I REALLY like all the belmishes on my jackets (Nowak and other's) and your spot is pretty small to worry over. I'll try to take a photo tonight after work. I just hope an eagle or a hawk with sharp cla...

Clutters

I agree - my Nowak New Goat is just as pebbly if not more so in some areas, and it looks great! Character right out of the canvas bag. I also have a few lumps and spots on mine too. I love em. Makes it looks like it is one of a kind and seasoned. I did notice that the right shoulder top of my jacket...

Hey Beaverlid, what is the sleeve length on your Wested washed goat ROTLA?

Clutters

"I'm free, Captain Peacock..." Got a laugh here! Just to weigh in on this, all my jackets in anything lighter than a thick cow hide have had the ride up effect after a few months and a splash of rain. Usually 1 inch to 1.25 inches. The thick cow hide (Vanson Wolverine X-1 jacket) rode up ...

Clutters

The last jacket I bought from Wested I used my credit card to pay. It had the agent 5 specs and a Holt collar. I got told the total cost including shipping and I said that was ok by me. Imagine my surprise when an extra 20 pounds is charged to my credit card. I discovered this only when I checked my...

Clutters

...aand its being made right now! Spoke to Tony again and discussed some changes and sizing issues - he really is the perfect vendor. The jacket should touch down in Australia within the week. Can't wait.

Clutters

try the number on his homepage and usually he'll answer or you can leave a message and he will get back to you.

Clutters

I've read through the posts and I calculate that it takes Tony about 15 – 20 days on average after first placing your order to call you for final specs and commence making the jacket. The longest 15-20 days of your life...

Clutters

I love it that Tony takes your order, gives you a few weeks to settle into your specs then confirms before work commences. This is great customer service.
And I think this shows he really understands how fickle fans can be! I've already got about 4 changes to my order…just waiting for the call.

Clutters

Great story, great jacket! I hope to join you shortly in the Tony Nowak Happy Owner's club.

Clutters

Sizing? Check this out: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42651

My size 59 is still a great fit after a few weeks of wear and many many many hours of bashing. Also, when you bash it, don't use tap water, use demineralised water and only a small amount of steam, if at all.

Clutters

The facing doesn't affect the look of the jacket as much a people think, you still get the wavy zipper, and it only adds to the life of the jacket. I've always wondered how it adds to the life of the jacket. Is it because it prevents you catching the lining in the zipper or is it something to do wi...
