I follow him on Instagram, he seems to be OK. Posted as soon as last week: https://instagram.com/guscaicedo?igshid=1oevbrbyq6dua" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Maybe he's just not making whips anymore and likes to keep to himself? Cheers, Bear Thank you very much. At least...

What happened to Gus Caicedo of Purewhips? I bought a whip from him a few years ago and his web site is no longer active. I talked to him numerous times by telephone. I recon he gave up. I hope that he is OK. He was a very good whip maker andwas always a nice guy to talk to, or converse with by e-ma...

My experience is that even an old guy in WV needs a good Indy jacket!? :P I have ordered from LL before, and sent the jacket back, pronto. It was not an Indy-ish jacket though. I think it was an A-2 kind of thing, the leather was of poor quality and I sent it back. Ordering from one of the tried an...

Thanks for the responses. I would still like to know if anyone here has ever purchased one. It may not be exact, but at least it has gussets to let the arms expand without lifting the whole jacket up. I don't want to start a war about it being a true Indy jacket. It is not, but it looks a lot more c...

I've seen an Indy style of jacket called, (Landing Leathers: Landing Leathers Men's Hero Indy-Style Leather Jacket). It can be found on the Walmart site and the Sears site. Price is under $200. I was just wondering if anyone here had ever heard of this jacket. It doesn't look to bad..... From an old...

Haven't posted here for several years. I am in the process of getting the funds together to get a Garrison Standard Raiders hat. ](*,) I have looked at all the beautiful pictures of the Garrison hats posted here, and I am amazed at how beautiful they are. I hope I am not doing anything wrong by post...

Made my feelings clear in my post. I don't want to argue with anyone. Dr., think what you want.

BinkmeisterRick, you will not hear anything more from me on this matter.

To the Dr. It is perfectly right to throw out what you know. Just remember that your words may hurt someone in the process. Try and remember that when you are teaching. Back up what you know, or think you know with proof. That is what I have learned in 62 years. I am done with this subject. So lets ...

For what it is worth, I have a fur felt DP. I have got it wet, soaked in fact, and the dye did not run. Just because your cousins hat this happen, don't go telling everyone that all DP fur hat do that. Get your facts right. I am not trying to insult you. I am like Todd. I would like see proof of you...

I am new here. I don't mean to insult anyone. I own a fur felt DP. It is restyled in a "Raider's" bash. I have had this hat get soaked and the color never ran. If I had the cash on hand I would purchase a Todd's Downtowner. Not all of us have the funds to have a hat made by a custom maker....

ok, after weeks of hesitating, I JUST went to the site to buy the pocket knife, and now I can't find it on the site! #-o That's a great hat for the price, tho! :tup: When you go to the main site, go to the bottom of the items that are pictured. There is a next page button. Keep doing the same. The ...

Hi all!!! I am new here, (less than a month). I was reading about your trouble doing the "flick". I have only been using a whip for the last 2 months. I finally mastered the "flick" today. For me that was a "Wah Hoo" moment. I am 62, and I have arthritis. My advice, &qu...

Also, the overhead light wrap from the rafters inside the Area 51 building. (KOTCS) And landing inside the truck by accident.

I think you'll be thrilled with your new "Gus." I had a jrzjoe as well - absolute junk!!! I have a budget purewhips and there is no comparison. There is no way to subsitute for a quality whipmaker. Happy cracking, :whip: Ryan When the same rout myself. Gus is a great guy to deal with. Joe...

I got one from Gus about two weeks ago. Mine is the 6' model. You should enjoy it!!! Gus is a great guy to deal with. I have had several phone conversations before and after the purchase. He is free with knowledge, very plesent to talk with.

Take that thing out and enjoy!!!
