Yeah, open up the crown and then stick a measuring stick next to it and eyeball the height. If it's an AB Henry, the height should be 5 1/2 inches, although taper may have lowered it. So I guess if you're looking for a lower crown, HJ's "new" block (5 1/4 inches) would be an improvement. ...

generalFROSTY

Their facebook page has more details. Their standard is a 5 1/2 inch crown, but they also have a 5 1/4 inch crown that they made. https://www.facebook.com/Herbert-Johnson-Hatters-Piccadilly-590501921150110/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; How would I best measure a crown on...

You could very easily have your AB Henry reblocked - if you don't feel like sending it back to Marc, there's plenty of people stateside that would be happy to reblock it - David Garrison, John Penman, Steve Delk, etc. If that's not your cup of tea, I put my vote in for HJ - it's rabbit, it has a sc...

It's been years, but I'm finally going to "retire" my AB Henry. The crown has tapered over the years and wear is starting to show at the pinch. I have a hand made Beaver from Northwest Hats that I keep as a dress hat and won't distress it for gearing up, but also because the crown height i...

All this talk about who has or doesn't have the "real" ribbon is rather pointless. Mike's hats are superb, got mine today and adore it!

Finally got it a few days ago. Apparently, a clerical error was the cause of it not being shipped right away. Overall, I love the design and the fit is fantastic - dare I say better fitting than my AB shirt. I was expecting a lighter color, compared next to my AB shirt, it has a greenish hue compare...

generalFROSTY

I recently got mine before he sold out.
While I love the color, fabric and overall comfort - more than a few people have commented how it looks too baggy in the crotch. I'm starting to get a little self concious wearing this out now because most of the time it seems that's the first comment I get.

generalFROSTY

I ordered nearly 3 Weeks ago and still yet to recieve it (size small).
I emailed asking, all I get is a copy of a customer service message sent to the warehouse.

generalFROSTY

Ordered mine last week. Hoping the color is lighter than my AB shirt, which I love the fit and design but always thought it was too khaki in color.
As always, looking forward to upgrading and adding to my gear!

generalFROSTY

I'm looking into possibly adding the WPG shirt to my collection. My one and only shirt that I have is the AB, which I love the design but always wanted a shirt with a lighter color that didn't look so khaki. If anyone can advise on the AB vs the WPG (comparison pics would be helpful) it would be gre...

It takes a few days of getting used to a new style bash. I really like how the LC bash looks on the Akubra and also how well it compliments my head shape.

generalFROSTY

I just picked up a Stetson western hat to convert into the Walking Dead hat. It's a chocolate colored, beaver blend "6X" Skyline model. I have no issue with the quality of this hat, it looks really good all around! http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc506/jimmy2step/20131203_100451_zpsfad...

After nearly four years of proudly owning and wearing my Adventurebilt Henry, I finally decided it was time for a gray hat. My Akubra Fed 4 Deluxe Moonstone arrived today and my excitement was palpable! I was relieved to find just how well-made this hat is, and the felt quality, though not as smooth...

generalFROSTY

I recently re-shaped my Henry after several years of it's original bash I gave it. I always felt the crown looked too tall on my head, but finally had a thought about reshaping it to a height that was more appropriate for my size 56 hat. First, I opened up the crown again then carefully used my garm...

generalFROSTY

I've been giving a hard look at the Magnoli's. Did you give him your actual size and did they fit true? I'm just worried about what size to order since it would be custom and coming all the way from NZ. I had my measurements taken professionally and then compared to a pair of off the rack dress pan...

generalFROSTY

I started out with the Taupe LL Bean pants, extremely comfortable and the color paired quite excellent with the rest of my gear. I've since upgraded to a tailored pair from Magnoli which looks and fits like a dream. One day, I'll pick up a pair from Todd as I support his contributions to our hobby 1...

generalFROSTY

My Henry, paired with my Last Crusade look.

generalFROSTY

I'm very happy to say I've finally ordered an Akubra FedIV Deluxe - the Moonstone gray version.
I've been so happy with how much character my Henry has developed over the past few years and would never want to get a second "brown" Indy hat.
I'll post pics as soon as it arrives!

generalFROSTY

So is the general consensus that these are just cut really strange?
I'd like to get a more stone colored shirt and to my eyes, the WPG looks more stone than the AB shirt.

generalFROSTY

But has it gotten any more comfortable in those two years?
That sweatband is just awful.
Have you had any trouble keeping the shape on yours?
I've noticed that with my black Adventurer, the brim seems to want to go back to beeing wonky in shape and it holds a bash about as well as a piece of steel.

generalFROSTY

When did the price of the Henry go up? Last I saw, they were $280 I think - now they are listed at $325 (and still worth every penny btw) just curious if manufacturing costs had gone up. I'd still like to get a moonstone fedora sometime... It hasn't been that price for some time. In any case, it's ...

generalFROSTY

The color it will have when distressed is the deal maker for me.
If it distresses with a brown or reddish brown then I am sold.
My current Todds distresses in a gray tone.

One of these days I'm going to have to break down and buy an instructional DVD.
I can still only do the overhead and forward crack.
I'd love to be able to learn some combinations.

generalFROSTY

I've been out of the loop for a while - how long has Todd's newest jacket been on the market? My Todd's jacket is nearly two years old now so it must be from his original run. I read that the 'new' jacket distresses with a brown color underneith - can someone please provide evidence of this. My Todd...

generalFROSTY

Thanks, generalFrosty, you are too kind. BTW, Tanaka tells me they are doing an airsoft version too. Is anyone interested in that? I can buy those by the single case instead of 10 cases... -Todd I think I'll stick with the cap version. Seeing as how you gotta get rid of so many, it never hurts to h...

generalFROSTY

I'm planning on buying Todds replica revolver sometime soon. As nice as it would be to have a "real" one, I simply do not feel comfortable owning a real weapon and would not want to carry it around with me when geared-up. With the Tanaka replica, you have the fun of being able to "pla...

If possible, I'd like to see a WPG next to an AB for color comparison.
I own the AB but wondering if WPG shirt is closer in stone color...

generalFROSTY

Yes lighting is very important when working with color. I use to manage a small print shop and we installed full spectrum florescent tubes in the shop so clients that saw our Pantone color swatches (for choosing colors) inside wouldn't be shocked when they took their finished printed product outsid...

generalFROSTY

Good deal Mike! I've been getting that itch lately to get another Indy shirt. My AB has served me well all this time but wanted to get something a TAD more towards the stone color my eyes see on-screen. BTW, in case I missed it in the replies, what pants are you wearing? They look perfect on you - a...

generalFROSTY

It's SO true how colors will look one way by themselves, and a completely different way when next to another. Indy's gear is very earth-tone based, so the color of the shirt may look different to your eye when you have it paired with the dark brown leather jacket, the tan trousers and the brown belt...

generalFROSTY

I think I'm def going to be picking up one of the WPG shirts eventually but the sizing chart has me scratching my head. I am a slim 160lbs, athletic build size 38" chest. I don't see a size on that chart that looks like it would fit, or am I just missing something? Thanks for the details, Holt....

generalFROSTY

I will look into the WPG shirt as an option.
I think the shirt should have at least a TINY smidgen of Khaki to it, not entirely gray.
My Adventurebuilt shirt is great in design, but I've always been dissapointed in the color.
What is commonly considered the actual color of Indy's shirts?

generalFROSTY

I totaly agree Jedirun, I wear mine all the time with just a casual shirt and no ones the wiser. ;) Croft :mrgreen: And that's the beauty of Indy Gear. With the exception of the weapons belt accesories, you can wear this stuff anytime almost anywhere and it is never looked at as a "costume&quo...

generalFROSTY

Ahhh, thank you. I didn't realize Magnoli offered more than one version of the shirt. So version B wold be considered a "Crystal Skill"? It recommends the color "Light Khaki" while option A recommends "stone" - how drastic a difference is there in color? I will have to ...

generalFROSTY

I like the way the fabric and color looks on the CS shirts. The fabric looks soft and the color more stone in color. Right now I have been rocking an Adventurbilt shirt which is great in design but I have always felt it is a little too khaki in color for my tastes. I think a lighter colored shirt wi...

generalFROSTY

I'd like to take some pics of my Todd's boots soon and show them off. They are about a year 1/2 old give or take and they are so well worn and broken in - the look gorgeous! Although I did some faux weathering with sandpaper on the toe and heel, it is mainly all naturally worn. I was thinking of mak...

generalFROSTY

I have a Wested I purchased second-hand last year. I believe it is a LC version - in goatskin. I was always a little on the fence about the color. It is too 'brown' for my tastes, at least from what I am used to seeing on screen in Raiders and TOD - but the LC jacket was always more brown looking on...

generalFROSTY

Wow, that pecan color actually looks really good!

generalFROSTY

It may be soon time for me to get a gray FedIV. To this day, the one and only Indy hat I have ever owned is my precious AB Henry. It would be nice to see what another fan-favorate Indy hat feels like.

generalFROSTY

I've been out of the loop for a while - I just recently saw that Todd finally got his trousers out! They look amazing, and such a great price - something we've come to almost expect from Todd. I got my Camel brown wool trousers from Magnoli earlier this year *still havent taken pics yet* but I will ...

generalFROSTY

I recently got a Christys in black. I am quite unhappy with it (maybe I'm spoiled by my Henry) not only does the felt become easily warped, but the sweatband is very thick and stiff and digs into my forehead leaving a line and stitch marks. It's pretty unconfortable to wear and the ribbon stitching ...

My neighbor poked his head outside one day and gave me the evil eye while I was practicing. Since it was early in the day and I was on my own property, I kind of glared back at him, gave a loud crack and thought to myself "Go ahead...come over here and say something..."

Awesome photo!
Now that the weather is nice again, I am finally out in my backyard crackin' away!

Thanks Mitch - you know, I'm as straight as a board yet I still know a good butt when I see one! :P I have to arrange a time with my photographer (I am a photographer myself, but it's a little hard to take good photos of yourself!) so I can get some really nice pics taken in not just the pants, but ...

generalFROSTY

Yay for package day! The wait is over and I finally got my Magnoli 100% wool "Camel" trousers. They look, feel and fit perfect! They are much lighter than my LL Bean 'Taupe' colored pants and similar in color, but have all those authentic details and quality construction we have come to ex...

So my Magnoli trousers arrived today via DHL........and no one was home to answer the door, so they have to return tomorrow and try to deliver again ](*,) It's OK because I don't have a show until the evening, so I will be home most of the day...and you can bet your whip I will be waiting in the liv...

Todd, I am going to be ordering this gun soon but would like to suggest some additional marketing you could do for it - I see you have them up on ebay. Maybe it wouldnt hurt to list them in an auction NOT related to Indiana Jones, or change up the auction title. I would also suggest getting some vid...
