We are last of the 50s babies, 1959. The older I get the faster time flies by, but not fast enough to put me out of my misery.

I’m 65 this month so you can call it ancient history now. I belong in a museum.

I’m truly sorry it was very late when I saw your post Loneken. The label threw me off since it looked so different from what I’ve been doing for years. The same with the straps. I’m embarrassed. Upon looking at all the eBay photos close up and the description posted, I went back and looked at my pho...

My embarrassing retraction posted below. LOL
Those are not long straps nor is it one of my labels.
These are long straps and one of my labels.

I bought my Rook Webley and Eagan holster in 2012. The amount of detail he put into his guns is amazing.

With my other gear.

One of Rook’s production photos.

Ok, just got a mil tec as well. MFH is still better by far. MFH has a straight body, the straps are still leather. The grain is loose but it is thicker. That said, it does look like their new offerings seem to be a plastic buckle version. The stitching quality is bad but the canvas is thicker. The ...

If you've ever worn a heavy whip like this while in Indy gear, you know how aggravating and not practical that is! The whip slips and worse than that it swings everywhere putting...things...in danger... :oops: When I first bought my Jacka 10’ CS I had a regular whip holder that was a pain with slip...

Those wool blend pants look great! Especially the rear pocket placement. I have a few pairs of pants from other vendors and while all other details are spot on, the pockets are just placed to far away width-wise and they make my posterior look wider than it should! So says the missus. :D I know wha...

I'd bet they went with whatever the prop house had kicking round in 1980 that fit the pistol. Elastic makes a world of difference to ease of use with a shoulder holster arm strap - whatever the lighting brown leather would still look pretty brown. I can agree to that! I made myself some all leather...

Yes I still make the label and long straps. I’ll discuss it in PM.

lantzn

That's not just close enough, it's the same one. Just have to paint it. I spotted those back in 2020, guess I only posted it on the RPF. Really? This is the screen used flashlight? That's so cool! How'd you figure that out? Do you know of any good tutorials for painting these? I see that folks are ...

Yes odd specs. 7/8” is the CS width but did not have the edge grooves.

I was sent this original pack from Andyman326 to add long straps. IMG_2023-5-22-161539.jpeg IMG_0033.jpeg The Indy long strap has a cream color, heavy thread that is hand stitched, 5 holes and a length down to the MKVII bag’s flap snap. The roller buckle is in the top hole. Indy usually carries the ...

Did anyone ever find this knife?

Thanks! Are those screen accurate/ the ones used in the movie or replicas? As stated both replicas of the original WWII packs. Each has pros and cons. The Mil-Tec as is, has the more accurate leather shoulder strap, although it’s short same as the originals. The hardware is a bit heavier built. The...

Yea, that looks great. Too bad it costs a fortune to ship the web belt across the pond and since I don't have any other larger item I will order, I don't think I can purchase this from them. My search will have to continue, unless someone USA based who plans to order a jacket or something from West...

They state the “Standard Color” to be the Sand, which is similar in color to my Straight City khaki color. Even though it appears lighter under bright light, the color can look golden under certain lights. These are photos of the same Straight City belt. EADD9A75-88C8-4408-A602-8FAB5948476A.jpeg ACB...

Has anyone done the dyeing and distressing to their whip according to what Anthony DeLongis did to them for the movie? I just heard about it and was wondering what you all thought. Please don't do it. It will age on it's own, don't be in a hurry to make it"old" enjoy it's newness while it...

I pretty much wear my AB CS beaver most of the year and man does it hold up against the rain. I love the drumming sound it makes when the drops hit the felt. I save my Penman grey CS beaver for dressy occasions and use my Garrison Raiders rabbit for outside chores. I have wanted to get a Panama hat ...

I grew up in southern CA but didn’t know what sweating was until I moved to the northwest and wore my hat on a hot, humid day. I wear my hat most days until it hits about 80 and high humidity, then it pours down my face. The summers are getting hot here again.

Just upgraded Rikimaru’s pack.

lantzn

Maybe you’re allergic to something in the liner. Material or treatment. I love cotton even in hot weather.

lantzn

My go to treatment has been Obenauf’s Leather Oil. Once after my jacket had been well “naturally distressed” and before I got into treating it, I met an old friend I hadn’t seen in ages and after talking about my Nowak he anxiously wanted to try it on. After doing so he asked why the collar was dark...

My only regret is my Penman KOTCS travel hat, just don’t wear grey often, but it’s but dressy hat, so I’ll never be rid of it. That’s a sweet lid for sure!

Brim guy here too. Once I put it on, I always give the front brim the old thumb a finger pinch/swoosh to straighten it out. I can always tell when I need a haircut because my hat gets so snug it hurts. Afterwards it fits like a glove. 15 seconds into the CS trailer, you can see Ford’s silhouette in ...

Is it heavy or rather lightweight? That was my question. First of all, I love the color and texture! What is the weight of the whip? I have a 10’ Jacka CS and Todd’s 8’. As much as I love cracking the Jacka it wears me out, so I find myself cracking the 8’ one more often, but I love the 10’ length.

lantzn

Nice bag with wonderful history. :TOH: I too have an original W&G I bought from WPG back when you could ask them to go through their supply and look for the one you wanted. I have 3 original bags in all but these two are my prized finds. My favorite is the M & Co. H because of its color. The...

In my album towards the bottom you will see photos of my nowak CS on a snowy day when I first got it. It rains here, a lot in the PNW, so I wanted to protect it some.

If there’s one thing this hobby taught me, it’s patience.

They probably electroplated it. You use a special paint with metal in it that attracts the metal being used in the electroplated process, probably nickel in this case.

Forgot to mention, that one left facing side shot is a reverse og the right. The left has some damage, which I rather like, and I thought the other would look better when comparing. Here’s the real images.
