I would suggest to have them make a 0.5'' long horizontal stich that begings just where the stiching gave. Just like nowak reinforces his. someone has a picture I believe.

Thanks guy.

Anybody has a picture/link please?

Here a couple of pics....

Thanks for the suggestion.

It seems to me that the original line is still intact only the thread that come out loose. I will try and take some pics and post it here.

Just got a secondhand hh ROLA jacket from a member here. Everyhting is just fine except the side entry pockets. The lower part of both pockets where your hand slide in are ripped. I plan to take it to a local leather store and have them restitch. So my question is.....how is the best way to restitch...

Definitely......

I'll try and persuade her.

Thanks everyone for all the supports, ideas and comments. I was pretty impressed myself too after I set it up next to me Fed IV. Not bad at all for a so-so job on a Sunday afternoon :TOH: :TOH: Even the wife was impressed.......that make me fell better :lol: :D :lol: One last question............ Th...

Since I don't have much to do today.....I decided to give it a go :lol: I found a bucket that really fit the hat for re-block. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/mansugi/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_3359.jpg With the help of my son, we started spraying the hat...... http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193...

Thank you for all the advise....guys. Just a few questions.. 1. Where do I get the ribbon? 2. You guys are right. I can probably do some "home-reblock". Do I just soak the hat in a bath tub and reblock it with Rubbermaid container OR reblock it and then spray some water ?? 3. Any good tuto...

Long story short...............My daughter Sara (12) want an Indy costume for this year Halloween. She will call herself...Indiana Janes. So we went shopping today and got pretty much what we needed to start off...a pant, shirt, shoes, belt and an old brown cowboy hat. Total cost is about $17. I can...

Just got this shirt over the weekend. Let me know what you think... :TOH: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/mansugi/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_3203.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/mansugi/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_3211.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/mansugi/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_3208.jp...

OK guys, for the sake of SA, I rebashed my fedora. I tighten the pinch using clothepins. Then I let it set at 45 degrees overnight so the front brim will curve down. Let me know what do you think. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/mansugi/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_2801s.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com...

Thanks Dan and every one else.

Yeah I am going to work on it again tonight. Do some tight pinching on the upper front crown and roll the front and rear brim.

After all these times, I finally had the gut to bash my fedora due to I need to wear it to the Starfest this weekend. At first I thought about using the mirror as seen in one of the tutorials. But it will be a lot easier to use my wood floor :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I just line it up against th...

Great job there, 81.

Yeah that is the next item I want to make and then the holster.

I just finish weathered my gloves. How ???........by wearing it and work in my yard over the weekend.

Some people might call me cheap :lol: :lol: But to me is all about self satisfaction of DIY. Got a very good deal on a piece of 1" x 60" leather strap locally for about $7. I already have medium brown dye so, I dye it. Not too bad for just slapping the dye to get that rustic used look. htt...

I finally got my Fedora.......It is the FED IV Deluxe. It looks beautiful and I am very afraid to even do anything to it. Can somebody help me with the right tutorials on how to bash it. I did "search" and can't seem to find a good working links. TIA. A http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...

Todd sells some for around $3.00 I think.

Cool.

I plan to order the brown belt from Todd. Can definitely add the buckle to my order.

Thanks Dan.

Yeah, considering the age, they look amazing. Have you decided on what you are going to do for a strap yet? Yes, they are in great shape except for the musky and milddew smell from storage. I just air dry it for a couple of days and the smell seems to fade away. As far as the strap, I am thinking a...

I am excited...... Received this 2 bags over the weekend - direct from the UK. Not too bad for the price - 2 bags including shipping only cost me $90. Just need the strap (which I am going to DIY) to complete it. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/mansugi/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_2487s.jpg http://i19...

Sorry guys for not getting back on the thread sooner. I got that pant at a "local mall" (a used/secondhand store but not one of those nationwide thrift store). I think this is an older style that was issued by Dockers a few years back. Info on the pant..... Dockers Recode. 100% Micromatiqu...

Just make sure they don't have a cuff at the bottom when you hem them, but I'm sure you already knew that. Also, the hem should be around 4 inches or so, but that is hardly noticeable. My Westeds are hemmed to 2.5 inches. Thanks Dan. Yeah...I redo the cuff and only manage to get a 3" hem for m...

My quest for a budget gears continues................. Went shopping again this weekend and found this pant at a local "mall" :) It is made by Dockers - Recode style. 100 percent polyester. Color is almost like Mocha. Good thing..............only cost me $4.99. All I have to do is redo the...

Thanks for the welcome and the encouragements ......everyone. Now I feel like part of the Joneses......... :lol: I figured.....let DIY some of these gears for now and of course some gears can't be made. I will definitely upgrade these DIYers in the future. Anyway...back to the shirt. The shirt was a...

Hello everyone, This is my first post...so bear with me. I have always been in costuming for the last 10 years or so...mostly Star Wars. So last Christmas....I got my jacket...... it's...Todd's. So I figure...why not jump on the bandwagon like the rest of the Joneses. Been lurking on this board for ...
