And I thought I had problems at 24"!

A.J. Cairo

This place is right in my back yard! I can't believe I never knew of it! Looks like I'll be saving up again!

A.J. Cairo

I've worn my day to day outdoor boots out and I'm shopping for new ones. Since the price of all the boots I'm looking at are about the same as Todd's boots I was wondering if I should just spring for them. What I'm wondering though is how well they hold up in comparison with an average pair of hikin...

A.J. Cairo

I've worn my AB every tint I travel to or from South Korea, but haven't been there since 2011. I thought you probably saw me there until I saw the date this was posted

A.J. Cairo

If that's an IR flag I'd say that makes that cap better than any fedora.

A.J. Cairo

Nope-even a fedora can't make denial of a reasonable right to privacy look cool.

A.J. Cairo

I definately recommend a penman! Trying to scrape up the money for one myself!

A.J. Cairo

Congrats on your First AB! You'll enjoy it for years to come!

A.J. Cairo

Between the Casablanca in rabbit felt or beaver felt, which do you think is better? I really like the floppiness of rabbit felt, but in the wet weather of the Pacific Northwest I think a beaver felt might serve me better.

I get complimented frequently on my AB, but the comment that always sticks with me happened when I was stationed in Louisiana, and some highschooler at Walmart told me he liked my Abraham Lincoln hat.

On a related note, don't trust the educational system in Louisiana.

Thanks for the info! As soon as I get my tax return I'll be placing my order! I can't wait!

A.J. Cairo

Reading this thread has made me so eager to place my order! Just have to wait for my tax return which will (hopefully) be any day now. Is the month wait time you mentioned in this thread still more or less accurate?

A.J. Cairo

That's a beauty! Love the raiders bash! I'm sending my AB in to get reblocked and given a raiders bash

I can't wait!

A.J. Cairo

Don't know who originally did it, but you can get its doppelgänger from magnoli clothiers I believe

A.J. Cairo

Is there any difference between the Fullers earth that is sold at auto parts stores for fuel and oil absorption nd the Fullers earth sold at say Todd,s costumes or other costume stores?

A.J. Cairo

WOW! I'd say great catch, but it breaks my heart.
This is one instance when I don't wanna be screen accurate.

A.J. Cairo

AHHHH I though I was finally done buying hats!

Looks like I'm gonna have to come up with an excuse to tell my wife as to why I need another fedora. Any suggestions? Perhaps I'll make up a dream a'la Tevia in Fiddler on the Roof.

A.J. Cairo

TOD tweed all the way! It was a close call for me between Temple and LC, but the stubble in temple sealed the deal for me

A.J. Cairo

Recognizing that everyone has different budget constraints in which to work you've asked a difficult question. Many people here have started out with similar style lids to the one you're considering. I myself started with a Scala (gag!) and thought I had hit the top of the line when I bought my firs...

A.J. Cairo

I LOVE THIS BOOT!!!! PERFECTION! to me it really captures the "essence of indy" better than his boots do-which i was never very fond of in the first place.

A.J. Cairo

The hat does suit you. What was the job you went to Cali for?

A.J. Cairo

WOW you nailed it! This is the first Last Crusade hat that I've seen that I actually want to buy.

A.J. Cairo

I didn't realize steve's turn around is that quick! Maybe its time for me to follow your example!

A.J. Cairo

nice jacket indeed but i'm more impressed with (jealous of) that head of hair!

A.J. Cairo

ouch! I guess that's the price for quality

A.J. Cairo

Speaking of; what is the wait time on a penman right now? I'll be ordering one in October as soon as I arrive back in South Korea.

A.J. Cairo

Congratulations on your purchase. I know many people here own wested jackets and are very happy with them, and I'm sure you will be too. As for distressing, my opinion is to distress it by wearing it. Sure it normally takes longern but there are many here who have wasted hundreds of dollars by accid...

A.J. Cairo

In a couple of months I'm headed back to South Korea where I'll be getting paid enough to afford another hat. Penman will be the one who I order it from. Last time I got an AB with a crystal skull bash, but I just can't resist getting a penman with a SOC bash. _, you're right on target with the gran...

A.J. Cairo

This is wonderful!

One thing that constantly amazes me about COW is the sheer talent. Possessed by so many of the members and moderators!

A.J. Cairo

Once again I'm being stationed in South Korea. The one up side I can find to this situation is that you can get shoes custom made for you for a very low price. I'm wondering if anyone has the Design for Aldens so that I can have some high quality knock offs made for me while I'm there. The same appl...

A.J. Cairo

I can't really give you any advise on your question, but that was a great story! I think you're lucky not only to get the chance to show off your whip cracking skills in front of your class, but also to get the free whip from your teacher and to get the opportunity to instruct them on proper whip ha...

A.J. Cairo

I agree with Michael! That jacket looks great! My only jacket is a Todd's standard and I really love it. I would like to get another style though at some point when I can afford it. I really like the one in Michael's (TundraRaider) Avatar. I wish I knew what style that His is.. Obviously it's a cust...

A.J. Cairo

What's the lead time on these shirts? I ordered mine last Thursday and I'm just wondering when to expect it?

A.J. Cairo

I really cant wait for these to come out. Pants are the next item on my "to buy" list and if the Todd's pants aren't available soon I'm gonna have to give in and cough up the dough for Magnoli's. I'm not even considering the Wested pants because they don't look ANYTHING close to SA in my o...

Hey General Frosty I like the changes you made to your avatar

Technically, you can take a shot without pants at all and still be 100% screen accurate. Please don't do it though.

A.J. Cairo

I wonder if we'll be able to sing that song any time in the near future. I hope so!!! Can't wait to hear something from Todd about the pants.

A.J. Cairo

Especially when the leather toughens up exponentially after a single shower soaking... and stays that way. Does wearing it in the shower cause the jacket to shrink? If so how much. I would like to break mine in in the shower however I don't want to ruin the fit of the jacket. Right now it fits perf...

A.J. Cairo

GF, people will try to tell you it's a costume jacket. It's not, and I for one am sick to death of hearing that it is. I have tortured mine with shower soakings and sandpaper. Believe me, it's weathered it all. So far the only regret I have is that I recently conditioned my jacket with leather dres...

A.J. Cairo

The leather is very thin, but like everyone is saying it not intended to be dragged behind a truck. Unless you are working in the Indy stunt show at Disney world it should be fine. some activities I would NOT recommend you wearing this jacket to are: -Trimming rose bushes -Bathing cats -Laying down/...

A.J. Cairo

Thanks guys! I can't tell you how pleased I am with this jacket, but having it only makes me want to get another one to see the difference in them. I think my next jacket will be either a wested or a US wings. Looks like I'll be needing a second job

A.J. Cairo

Here are a couple of pics with my AB.

A.J. Cairo

I'll get the pics posted as soon as my wife wakes up from her nap. The reason I am posting this is to say that according to the sizing chart on Todd's website there should be no way that this jacket should fit me... but it fits amazingly. These are my measurements: Height: 65" (5'5") Weigh...

A.J. Cairo

Just got my confirmation /tracking email. Said I should receive it by the end of the week. Matt Looks like we'll get ours at the same time. I ordered my Todd's standard on Friday also and received an email from UPS today telling me I ought to have it by the fifteenth. I'm so excited! Hope I ordered...

Good find! I want to know who's website this is. They MUST be a member of COW to have all the information that they seem to have. I'd be interested to see if the actual product matches the photos. I'm so curious as to why this company has never (to my knowledge) been mentioned before
