Aside from that amazing lid of yours Daren, that is a lovely pic of you both...

Ian

Nice seeing the box it came in as well..

Is that because the Fed liner is covered with plastic?

Ian

Well, I gotta say Sammy...That's perfectly proportioned to you in every aspect, brim width, crown height...

Congrats on an amazingly crafted lid...

That another rabbit or did you go beaver?

Ian

I always wondered if the hat in the pilot's seat scene was just more tapered due to the fact that Willie had just grabbed it by the crown to fan Indy and wake him up. If it was all one take that is.

As has been said earlier; It depends on where you live....Here in the UK, especially in the NorthWest of England, it just hardly ever gets that hot, so I pretty much wear mine year-round..

Ian

I got the Aero Half Belt and I ordered the sleeves long...For a while I wore the cuffs (snaps) open, but found they kept getting caught on things...There was also the issue of not being able to put the jacket on whilst the cuffs were closed, but that seems to have gone away now due to the leather so...

Ian

I've got a pair of Aldens, but I've been waiting for Todd to get some more boots in stock for ages...Back order placed...

Ian

Ian

Woohoo! What size is it?

Ian

At the risk of being laughed at.....the felt looks quite thin, I'm guessing rabbit..... Is it an HJ?

Yup, but at least the lids are getting a fair bit of use..

Ian

Looks perfect on you, especially in the shoulders, like custom...I bet your Indy jackets won't see much daylight for a while..

I'd love to see some shots of the XO as well..

Ian

So, then.....HP, that is an awesome jacket!!!....Did or does that come with the option of cargo pockets? Not sure if they are period accurate, but I've got the Aero Halfbelt Deluxe that I picked because of it's Indyish appearance and cargo pockets are soooo useful..

Holt wrote:Very nice! LC is one of my absolute faves!

Mine too!!

Ian

Nice!!..I can't see the imperfections, but then I'm not that much of an SA dude...Looks great and that collar looks spot on to me.

You must be clocking up quite a few jackets now...

Ian

Nice halfbelt Hollowpond!!...Looks like a perfect fit.

Ian

That's a lot of jackets, but I wasn't that surprised about the number considering it's you...

During your study, did you do a graph plotting number of jackets acquired against time? Maybe find out your peak in jacket enthusiasm..

Ian

Great looking whip!!...I must say though, I really like the look of that 8 footer....The colour is awesome!!...I don't know much about whips, but is the saddle tan an LC type?..

Not at all like Whiskyman's and others descriptions and pictures of quite dry and wrinkled, thats why I'm suspicious

Even if it is though, it looks awesome...

I just checked the site and it looks like it only goes up to a 46.

I asked John to reblock it on his new Raiders block when I sent it to him. He also somehow corrected the size to a true 59cm and sewed the liner in. I think that the liners are now sewn in as supplied, but mine was from an old batch. I'm really happy that you like it and it really looks awesome on y...

Looks great on you and that bash is awesome!! :clap: :clap: So glad it finally found a loving head to sit on....instead of just sitting on my hat rack...Brings a tear to my eye... :D :D Just a point to note about this hat though; Although it is a Henry, it was re-blocked by Mr Penman so the shape yo...

Looks great!!...I really like the wavey zipper...

Awesome!!

Glad you got this sorted out dude!. May it serve you well..

Ian

Ian

I don't know if it's the way it's bashed, but it looks like it makes an awesome LC... The brim looks perfect for that..... Very tempted..

Nice idea Jeff. Glad your bride has got your hat's back. ;-)

Yup.... I chose the wrong country to live in for Indy gear.... Japan is naturally further from nearly everywhere we get our gear from, so I'm always at the top of the shipping charges, and usually, while the initial product is cheap, shipping can put it way outside my "reach"...Wested has...

Ian

I've just received a shirt from Todd's in XL that fit's pretty good. I'm a 47" chest and quite big through the shoulders so it's a little snug there, but that's how it's supposed to be...Right? ;) It's my first Indy shirt so I can't compare weights & colours etc, but I'm really happy with i...

That looks amazing Steerpike!!!

Congrats!!!

I wouldn't say that lamb in general was the way to go if you want it to be very durable.

Well, to me that looks great and the hand warmers are in a place where you can actually use them.....

Sleeve length looks perfect!!

Awesome dude!!

Glad you got it sorted out!!

...Can't wait to see the photo's with the new sleeve length....You've defo earned this jacket...

Do a more general search for Akubra. I googled Akubra Pastoralist and found many sites that sells the model. Hats Direct does not carry all of the Akubra hats. I got a straw Akubra a couple years ago that's not available from Hats Direct.

It's amazing how much crown height the 'pork pie' bash takes....

....Great look!!...

Are these still made by Akubra? I was looking on Hats Direct and couldn't find it....

Reet Eric?, What have you done regarding the centre dent? Can we see any shots from the top?...I was looking at shots of the LC hat and some of the top shots show a really wide centre dent, almost like a very loose 'C' crown...When I do this on my Penman LC, it changes both the look of the profile a...

Nice looking boot Bish!!

Ian

Ian

Aye....That's where mine are...I was just checking because I always wondered about the 'last' size....It's quite roomy, but still feels right..

Cheers...

Ian

Ian

Merry New Year to you too Ben..

I know what you mean...I fight the urge to wear mine every day..

Where does your big toe sit in relation to the upper stitching when you're stood up? (Just out of curiosity)..

Ian

Ian

Great boots Ben!!! Just awesome, and I love the new colour of the 405s....They'll look even better when you start to get some creases in them.. :D :D So, from what I understand, the main distinction between 405s and 403s is the 403s have Chromexel leather uppers, which are the darker colour....So is...

Ian

Those do look very nice in your pictures, I'm even more excited for mine to arrive! Have they darkened much more since you got them? I have some Pecards so I may use that as well. Wish I could afford some Aldens but for the price these are a good substitute for now. - bish Thanks...The Pecards does...

Welcome Bish!!! :TOH: I already have a pair of these that I bought last year.... http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=51018 Dunno if you guys had seen that thread.....I have no idea what colour the ones I bought are, I got them BNIB off an ebay vendor, I think they were just describe...

Always worth a look in the clearance section....That's how I snagged my first Indy jacket....Ahhh the memories..

I'll second that! Amazing looking lid. Congrats!

Looks okay to me from those shots..

The wider ribbon and color is what really makes this hat.

That's a beaut! Love the ribbon against the sahara...Another piece of art John!
