Anyone got a link to his FB site?

Great review.
Do you have a link to his site?

Not finding it on FB

Thanks

Which leather did you get? Victory?

Canasta

From the Bill Kelso website" "Generally we do not recommend applying any cream or other similar products on your jackets for a long time. Tanneries have produced these leathers in such a way that they do not need anything for at least 15-20 years. However, if necessary, suitable leather co...

Looks great!
The Badalassi cowhide is so nice.
i had a chance to try on, what was at the time, and may still be, the only
Relic Hunter made in that hide.
I have a RH in the Liberty HH and LOVE it.

Canasta

Also notice (as I'm sure you have) the orientation of the whip changes from handle in back, to handle in front.

Canasta

I'm guessing it's from multiple takes o f the fight scenes and use on location. To me it looks like the sandy dusty gray/tan ground cover has just gotten on the last few feet of the whip. Yeah, I imagine there is some scuffing, but I bet with a nice cleaning, most of that would be gone. That's what ...

Canasta

It looks like it ages differently when it comes to the undertone.
Is this accurate?

What is the leather like in comparison Andy and if I wear a 40 Relic should I buy a 40 Grail ?
It's very different than the Relic Hunter.
Yes, if 40 is your size in Relic should get same for the Grail.

Canasta

Those pockets look really high.

Canasta

It's really nice. I have a RH in Liberty HH and love it. The Baddalasi is jut a little stiffer if I remember correctly, but not too.
The texture was nice, similar to the grain of the HH. Perhaps a little more sheen or gloss.

Canasta

I had a chance to try the only (at that time) Relic Hunter made in the Baddalasi Cow Hide some time ago. Really nice.

Canasta

Some shots of the thin cow Relic seeing as Photobucket held my previous photos to ransom https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/aef692372ebad25311afed47d26f0023.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/3c09a46d58cc5520a63669cb03a8ec47.jpg So what color is this thin cow? Seal, or Dark Seal? ...

Canasta

I'm with Illinois James.
The satin is nice in the sleeves.

Canasta

Well, I'm 6'1" with a 36 waist and I have a 25" back, with 26.5" sleeves
27.5" seems really long.

Canasta

I believe they are "sold out", though.

Canasta

That's pretty freaking sweet.

Canasta

Here is my S&W. Funny, because the color is brownish, rather than the "Blue/Black" color. http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g477/thewhipguy/indy.jpg Where did you buy this and how much? Sorry for the delay. I haven't kept up with this post, really. I bought it in Springfield, Illino...

Dark Seal

Canasta

It IS the Liberty Hh. Great stuff.

Canasta

Who owns a Relic Hunter in Horse Hide?
I have a couple of questions.

Thanks

So, what size is your jacket?

Canasta

As noted before, my Liberty HH is way to tight for a 44.
I will be sending mine back, or selling it.
I'll be getting another, just one that fits.

Canasta

Mine got to Illinois in 6 days!

Canasta

Canasta, what did Andy reply about the size discrepancy? Tryloch, Here is what Andy said. "If the jacket is restricting you might need larger size. In some fit photo of you that we have seen looks like an excellent fit. ..... Suggestion for the shoulder/pit issue is wear the jacket more and as...

Canasta

That may be the major problem with mine ... the arm holes being just too small, making them tight under the pit and tight on the shoulder top.

Tyrloch wrote:Canasta,

Have you considered reaching out to Andy at Kelso Mfg about the measurements discrepancy? Because it almost sounds as if you accidentally got a size 40 with a 44 label in it...

Yeah. Sent an email out yesterday. Just waiting to hear back.

Canasta

Too snug, huh? Did you ever measure them? From shoulder seam straight to where the arm hits the body... I did, and it seems like the measurements are a little off. Pit to pit mine measures 22.5/23", They should be 24.5 according to the info I was given for a standard 44 Shoulder to shoulder me...

Canasta

Actually considering selling my Liberty HH Kelso.
I love the hide, but feel it is just a little too snug in the pits and the pocket placement I would like to change.
I would order another with mods. The hide as fantastic.

Canasta

Can I ask a blatantly bold question. :-k How do you guys afford these things, I want one but just have such a hard time paying out over 500 and that's not with shipping. :shock: Waiting I can handle, but the price just keeps putting me off. Sorry :CR: Croft :mrgreen: Oh, and nice jackets, they are ...

CRB wrote:Is the jacket heavy ? Is it supple or stiff ?

It's a little heavier than my GB in goat. It's not a summer jacket, that's for sure.
The jacket is a little stiff, but the hide feels really nice. It's a substantial jacket for sure.

C

Did I mention the scent .... oh boy.

Canasta

It's a 44. I'll measure the hole.
I don't think I have fat armpits

Canasta

I really like the jacket .... a lot. The hide is nicer than any other I have had. It's dark, but not flat. It has depth. Probably not as much as the Victory, but they are dyed differently. I chose this hide simply because I wanted HH, but couldn't justify the cost of the VHH. The HH has a nice textu...

That's the weird thing about these Stetson hats.
I see all kinds of cool offerings, but nowhere to buy them.

That's the Liberty HH. Dark Seal, baby! These pics are right out of the box. More to come with a little review.

I sold a '92 Morgan Whip so I could fund it.
The Morgan was just hanging on my wall, as I had decided
to no longer use it in my performances. I whip should be used.
The jacket I'll wear all the time.

Kelso in Liberty HH.

Pics to come.

Just got a message from Andy that my Liberty HH will ship this week. YIPPEE!

I have one on order and should be here in a few more weeks.
I'll be sure to post pics.

I ordered my hh at the end of march. I sent a thank you and received an email saying that my server address had been flagged as spam.

I think Joey and his girl are a couple of the best IJ cosplayers out there. He painted his hat, and aged this clothing with paint (shirt, pants, dress - not the jacket) http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g477/thewhipguy/10355527_497186540381426_1060197439263442403_o.jpg http://i1103.photobucket.com...

Dorian,
What hide did you get?

Canasta

Thanks, Duck.
I am getting ready to purchase one in their Liberty HH.

Does the jacket come with an inside pocket?
