...on the other hand, the publicity of filing the lawsuit will point a lot of people to Frost River, so I guess they should take the win

Adirondack Jones

Yikes that clip showing the backpack is SO quick ....seems like milliseconds....it seems Frost River will have a hard time showing any 'material damage'

I had no idea Gemma was so darned cute

Adirondack Jones

isn't it just hard to believe that in the day, men would go to baseball games wearing suits and ties and real hats? it always strikes me how anti-suit people have become. My brother in law gave me a boatload of s&%t 'cause I showed up at his daughter's graduation wearing a suit. He said, "I...

I have a Disney jacket from the early 90's that had that same label. The jacket itself though is a much darker color, almost black. I always assumed it was a Cooper.

Adirondack Jones

Yikes! I love my Indy jackets as much as the next guy....but that video on tanning is almost enough to get you thinking about becoming a vegetarian

Adirondack Jones

it happened to my old Disney jacket after many years of wear

Adirondack Jones

I agree. To my eye, the LC is a little more of a 'cowboy' hat than a classic fedora

Adirondack Jones

Question about Wested pants....Do you order your true waist size like you do with Todd's or the 'vanity' waist sizing most companies use for pants?

Adirondack Jones

the other problem with any Indy jacket on a bike is the collar. It flaps in the wind and can ver very distracting when it keeps slapping your helmet. When I have worn an Indy jacket on the bike, I end up turning the collar in so it doesn't flap around so much.

Adirondack Jones

No doubt, the Todd's pants are great. I found that the inseam was a bit long. I'm not a tall guy (5'8") and usually take a 30" inseam. Since the Tod's pants are a sort of nineteen thirties cut, they have, shall we say, more room in the crotch than us 2012 ers are use to. So when you measur...

Adirondack Jones

Very nice work, Indiego! Looking to find out more...

Adirondack Jones

I've been touting the Exploradora for a year and a half now. I've got a SOC that is a faithful friend, worn everyday. You'll never go wrong with a Steele and Jones fedora! Thanks again, Indiego and Roberto.

Adirondack Jones

I think the 'public space' 'private space' rule is a pretty good one. When going out to eat though, I usually leave mine in the car as there is nowhere to put hats in most restaurants. Ihate to put it on the floor and it feels tacky setting it on the table.

Adirondack Jones

the horse is probably pretty abrasion resistant, but I have to agree an Indy style collar is not conducive to motorcycle riding

Adirondack Jones

I read something online a couple of years ago about hat etiquette (I'll look around and see if I can find it again), but I seem to remember that you took you hat off, obviously) in church, or anytime you entered a building where people lived. So, you could leave it on in the bank, but, if there were...

Adirondack Jones

weston, any chance of posting shots of the jacket with you in it? I really like the color and the leather but I'm concerned about the collar. Theman's pics do make it look unnaturally large.

Adirondack Jones

I"ve always been a big fan of Red Wings and, honestly, I'd rather have a p[air of these than a pair of Aldens. Not in the budget right now, but it's nice to know they're out there for when finances allow.

Adirondack Jones

those red wings look great. I'd like an Indy boot that I can actually work in. That's the problem with both Aldens and Frey... I think that sole would be just too slippery for working on ladders and roofs. Currently got a pair of Red Wing 202's and they're a great boot. Not quite in a position yet t...

Adirondack Jones

So I stop at the convenience store this morning to buy coffee and the (fairly young) girl behind the counter says, "I really like your hat.you've got the Indiana Jones thing join'. And you got the jacket too." (Wested cotton, BTW, not even leather.) So then I stop by another Convenience st...

Adirondack Jones

I can't remember the last time I got an "indiana Jones" comment, but I frequently get "nice hat,' or "i Like your hat".

Adirondack Jones

I too have and older Todd's bag and it's great. Never had a Magnoli bag, but I have no doubt he also offers a terrific product. Why don't you just go ahead and buy both, just to give the business to both of these great vendors.

Adirondack Jones

I agree, these are terrific screen grabs. I does appear to me as though the shirt is a little heavier than either the Todd's, WPG or Azuma shirts. Anyone else think so?

Adirondack Jones

hate to be the one that brings this up...... 'most authentic shirt' is kinda like looking for the 'most authentic jacket.' it's kind of in the eye of the beholder....

Adirondack Jones

I've currently got four Indy jackets in rotation... My bantu Wind is is pretty much my 'go to' jacket, a Wings legend that I wear in the colder weather or to go motorcycling, a three or four year old Todd's standard, and a Wested cotton for when i know I'm gonna be getting it dirty or paint-stained....

Adirondack Jones

I've owned a Christy's. My current hat is an Exploradora, but I just recently bought a Fed Iv in moonstone. For all the talk I've heard over the years about how durable the Fed is, i was surprised how light and thin the felt is. Lighter and thinner than my Christy's for sure

Adirondack Jones

if the criteria is which one you grab when you go out the door, then I'm gonna go on record as voting for my Todd's Bantu Wind. May not be the most screen accurate, but it's comfy and well broken in.

Adirondack Jones

Indiego, it looks like you and Roberto have another winner here. Really great looking hat.

Adirondack Jones

fedora, yes. Sachel, no.

Adirondack Jones

I was working out int he garage the other day and remembered I had a prescription to pick up over at the local pharmacy. When I walked in the pharmacist said, "Jez, I almost didn't recognize you without your hat."

Adirondack Jones

I've gotten that comment a few times as well..."My grandfather used to wear a hat like that." I've never actually had a negative comment about the hat/jacket combo. Last year, my wife and I were at Lowes and while she was checking out, I went outside. The guy at the register said to her, &...

Adirondack Jones

I'll give my endorsement to Diego's hats... I've worn my SOC hat from Steele & Jones daily for over a year now and it is a great hat.

Adirondack Jones

I washed mine once in cold water in woolite, inside out and it doesn't seem to have damaged them in the least. Even Magnoli says you CAN wash wool as long as you're careful.

Adirondack Jones

I'm also curious about the sizing. I got an XL Bantu that, after a cycle through the washing machine, fits FAIRLY well, albeit a little roomy. I'm wondering if a L would be a better choice for the new standard.

Adirondack Jones

I wear my Exploradora fedora and Wings Legend or Todd's Bantu Wind everyday. If it's cold, I wear a fleece underneath. I only occasionally get Indiana Jones comments, and when I do, I say, "thanks." Sometimes I'll just smile and say, "Well, it's because my life is an adventure." ...

Adirondack Jones

glad you brought it up.... I've been thinking about ordering one but I'm still a little gun-shy on the sizes. I got a Large a couple years ago, and, while I'm not a big guy (5'10", 195), its always been kind of snug. the material is okay--it's a bit on the yellow end of the spectrum--and the wa...

I bought a cotton jacket from Wested a couple of years ago, OTR in size 42 and it fits okay and its gotten beat up enough over the years to be a fine 'everyday' jacket when I'm working outside and don't want to mess up any of my leather jackets.
And, they're fairly inexpensive...

There's a book out about the decline of hat wearing called "Hatless Jack." Look for it on Amazon. And, by the way, I'm another one of those guys who doesn't mind wearing a suit (and I've also recently mastered the art of tying a bow tie). We had a party not long ago for a relative who grad...

They all look awful close to the old Redwings 202

Adirondack Jones

let me just chime in here...no criticism, constructive or otherwise. Diego and Roberto make a GREAT hat. I got my Explorador '36 last spring and it's been lived in ever since. Great hat, great company, great guys to do business with.

Adirondack Jones

I gotta go with jlhampton. I'm currently wearing a pair of $100.00 Red Wings and they are super comfortable for work. I'd love to get a pair of Alden's, but the price point and the leather sole kind of rule them out for me.

Adirondack Jones

I'll add my name to the chorus praising the fine work that Diego and Roberto do on these hats. Great hat. Great price. Great guys to do business with. A real quality outfit.
