What a wicked story. Seesm like Mr Nowak knows a thing or two about jacket making. :P The jacket looks absolutley amazing and obviously fit you very well. Seems to me you have a cracking Indy look going. I always like seeing your photos as you seem to put so much effort in. Very nice. P.S. Happy 50t...

IndyGeek78

Has Todd corrected the length of these shirts now?

I ordered one of theses shirts in 2008. Ordered a Medium. Perfect fit but I always found the shirt to be a bit short. It alwys comes untucked rather quickly.

I want to get another shirt but am curious if this has been sorted.

Cheers IG78

IndyGeek78

I agree with Alphared.

A nice jacket.

IndyGeek78

Seeing as no one else has. Can I be the first to offer you my Regular FED IV for you to work your magic on

Good work buddy. Love it.

IndyGeek78

I just received these Trousers (sorry being English I find it weird calling them pants) from TexanScott.

Got to say they look and feel great. Really nice feel and fit. Obviously not 100% SA but for me that's fine.

Now if any one has a chap whip Im all set.

IndyGeek78

That price has me hooked.

Guess Ill be buying me one of these shirts then.

Top work again sir

IndyGeek78

Surely if you were to purchase one of the modern bags it would be rather easy to replace all the modern straps and buckles with the origianl style? Just my two cents for what it's worth.

Ill crawl back into the corner now and just observe from the shadows

IndyGeek78

Very nice indeed

Welcome

IndyGeek78

You would think Wested would e producing as close to Noel Howards design as much as possible wouldn't you?

Good guide FedoraRadiers Well done sir

IndyGeek78

That is one rathr fine looking jacket

Lucky man

IndyGeek78

Suppose Im going to have to get saving to get me a Beaver hat to replace my rabbit.

Oh well

Nice lid Nebraska good review as well.

IndyGeek78

Nw this is the kind of ground work I wish I had put in. Unfortunatley I didn't know about COW till I purchased my Novapelle jacket.

Still a cracking jacket though.

Hope it goes smoothly for you. Don't forget to post pictures ASAP.

P.S. Welcome to the club

IndyGeek78

Is there anything Michaelson doesn't know

IndyGeek78

Excellent DR. $\:D/$

Im going to sit on it right now. I try to avoid grabbing it by the pinch as much as I can. Normally use the front and back brim.

IndyGeek78

Im not sure I actually want to make my hat look dusty at all really. I just want a kind of beat up look to it. I've started slowly, to achieve this look. My main worry though is if I smoosh it about too much that this will weaken the felt and possibly wear a hole in the felt. Any ideas if this would...

IndyGeek78

Cheers guys. Ill obvioulsy take my time and make sure not to mess it up.

IndyGeek78

Thanks guys. Im just trying to get the hat to loook like it's been on many an adventure. I'm just very nervous about doing it for the first time obviously. Im scared I'll ruin my hat, obviously. Ill just take a look at the SOC guide. Thats the look I like. By the way I've only just realised what SOC...

IndyGeek78

Hey Holt. Amazinghat. I bet you get bored of hearing that ;) If you PM your address I'll send you my hat and you can do the same to mine. I have just a standard Fed IV always thought the brim was too wide. Any hints or tips you can give to help me shorten the brim? I imagine you get bothered with th...

IndyGeek78

Cheers Blink.

I guess it was kind of a stupid question really.

I was just curious. GUess I better get wearing it

IndyGeek78

Right then. Newb question coming up. I have (as the title obviuosly points out) a Fed IV. I'v ehad it about 7 months now maybe more. Love the hat even though it may not be totally SA. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to distress the hat without damaging it? I've heard about putting i in t...

IndyGeek78

What an awsome job they did on your boots.

Any spare boots you wish tosend to another home

Love the Special AB Aldens

IndyGeek78

Hey alphared6 cracking boots. Thought they were Aldens at first glance. Like the fact that you changed the sole. I mean who sees the sole anyway. Neef o get my sole replaced and may try for your style if you dont mind me copying

IndyGeek78

JUst realised that TOD was an Indy prequel Duh!!

IndyGeek78

Cracking hat man.

Great photos.

Nice SA stubble.

Ever thought of playing a young HF in a Raiders prequel maybe??

IndyGeek78

Cracking looking lid my friend. Good work

IndyGeek78

I have no pics to back up mycomments I'm afraid but trust me it's unreal how much stuff fits in one of these bags.

There are older threads about this subject.

IndyGeek78

I work with a lot of older guys. Ive actually had no grief or mickey taking from any of them. :shock: They only thing they say to me is that they all used to have one of them for school to carry their books in. I reply by telling them that if it's good enough for Indy then it's good enough for me. T...

IndyGeek78

They have a London branch according to their US site. I imagine they aint cheap though

IndyGeek78

I've had the exact same problem. The heal wears down fast and in my experience I wouldn't trust Timpsons. Im going to have to try and hunt in the yellow pages. No luck so far but I'll give you a progress report if I find some one who can do it.

IndyGeek78

Good find Jones. Good to see us Brits are finding some bargains

IndyGeek78

Do you require someone to break your second pair in. Im offering my services.

Two pairs of Aldens lucky you.

IndyGeek78

That is one seriously good looking hat. Im sure you're very happy with your purchase

IndyGeek78

Ive been really nervous about wearing my Hat in public ever since I purchased it about 5 months ago. Ive ventured out in it a couple of times under the cover of darkness. :oops: Today I decided to be brave and watched KOTCS (i'm sure it gets better the more it's watched) anyway I digress. After spen...

IndyGeek78

Go for it man. I just love the Indy look and that's good enough for me. Fair play to the guys and gals who go for SA but that just seems too much hassle. Everyone has their own likes so each to his or her own

IndyGeek78

My first shirt was a Todds shirt. Was very impressed. I got a Medium which i thought might be wrong but have been proved wrong. The shirt has a very nice taper to it's middle and is comfortable to wear. It doesn't seem as thin as a Wested shirt. Todds shirt feels so good I pretty much wore it whenev...

IndyGeek78

I actually emailed him about the pants when I ordered a shirt last year some time. I think he hinted that he might be doing them some time this year. Springtime comes to mind for some reason. Unless I just imagined the whole thing. Hope he does though as I would probably be buying a pair

IndyGeek78

I started this so I must get first pick of the Nowaks. Pretty please

IndyGeek78

Riht I started this thread so Im justified in actually getting to put this here at last. Never thought I would get the chance. ;0

IndyGeek78

Soory if this annoys. Mine were the correct size first time. I guess if it's a manufacturers problem then it's the luck of the drawer. I can't reccomend the boots enough though. Obviously these aren't Aldens (which I dnt have yet. One day) but they're not trying to be. But if you wnat a good quality...

IndyGeek78

Wow I seem to have started something good here.
How about some pics of these Jackets?
Comparrison shots with Wested ones as well would be cool if thats frowned apon.

IndyGeek78

BLimey. That must be one darn fine Jacket. Bit out of my price range. Maybe one day

IndyGeek78

I soaked mine in tea for about 20 mins and gave them a great colour before they dried i wore them and creaed them. Gave them a great shape. Since then have got some great ageing on them. Will post pics ASAP

IndyGeek78

Is there anything Michaelson doesnt know? lol
Wahts the usaul cost of a Nowak roughly say for a Raiders jacket?

IndyGeek78

I purchased a pair an couldn't have been happier with them. My only nag though is that the heal wears down very quickly and I might have to get the heal replaced at some point. Otherwise they are brilliant. Nice soft supple leather comfortabe and not too bad to look at.
Cheers
Geek

IndyGeek78

Well I think that answers it. I particularly like your descripition Indiana G. Cheers for that guys.

IndyGeek78

Im still a bit wet behind the ears when it comes to certain matters on here. What's so special about a Tony Nowak coat. Im not trying to imply they're not good It's just Ive never seen one. I tried looking at some online bu never seemed to get many images. Anyone want to enlighten me a little?

IndyGeek78

Maybe she should be cast in Indy 5? Maybe wearing that outfit

IndyGeek78

So what's the general feeling around here to which torch is near enough SA? Or is this a case of everyone having their own opinion as to which is SA?

IndyGeek78

Sorry if that seemed rude on my part. I admire you for having a go.

Good luck with your bullet chamber man

IndyGeek78

Hey 1024 i admire for trying to do this but you could save a lot of time. I purchase a toy gun. Gently took it apart and cut the barrel down to size, refixed it all and then painted black from it's original blue and yellow (nice), with a bit of ageing it looks ok as a prop. Would put pics up but sti...
