Noel's costumes (and I'm not saying this because of my former involvement in this industry) are exactly that: costumes. Levi Strauss jeans will take a beating, Noel Howard shirts won't. I have ruined two Noel Howard shirts by simply wearing them, not in hiking adventures, not in daring battles with ...

Who on the board actually owns a pair of the Wested set? or are they not in complete production yet?

ANNOUNCING...

(suspense)

Just kidding...

Actually I wanted to know what you guys have been thinking about lately. Do you like shirts, are you content with L.L.Bean's and things? Just picking your brain in the shirt world. PM me. That is all.

Things are happening among us that are mysteries now...

I believe it is 2" I could be mistaken. It doesn't matter really. The TOD had many more differences, but that's for another war.

I think by the time a Raiders hat gets into the hands of the fans, the kids of that generation will have never heard of a VCR.

Sincerest Regards,

Agent 5, Why are you worried about the white stitching being dyed as well? The original boots in Raiders were brown, I don't see white stitching at all. IMHO, I like the red color, and I hope it stays. Fans here believe that Alden will cater to our needs and wants, and I guarantee you, they will not...

WHEN WILL IT END!

I just bought another crusher cap! and I'm still hunting for an A2..... errrrrr.

but I like it

I am not taking any of your comments as arguementive. I love discussing this too, and this is why we frequent this website. Fedora, I absolutely love to talk about this, and you're what makes this board exciting, your passion to learn, and you're regarded as a master. That is a unique quality, never...

Rick Blaine

A dear friend of mine, who is a member on this board. I won't name any names ah haha hah *cough ah MAGNUM *cough. Sorry about that... Magnum brought up that perhaps the heat could have caused the sweat band to shrink and tighten. Definitely something to think about. Thank you ahh.... unnamed... for ...

Rick Blaine

I am glad the fedora world is alive again. Yes I failed to mention that I believed the felt was of a different stock (Per the Brazilian manufacturer) but I believe the LC and Raiders hat block and crown heigth are EXACTLY the same (of course the brim is slightly different etc) 3K$ explained it by sa...

Rick Blaine

Yes, but I do state that this isn't the way to go if you want comfort. Unfortunately the accurate way is not the comfortable way. However, as we well know there are excellent alternatives.

Sincerest Regards,

Hello friends, With all of this talk about the Herbert Johnson hat, and the question of its authenticity, and the fact that this section of the board is quite dead as of late. I felt the urge to post my theory again. DISCLAIMER: This is only a theory, it does not reflect the views of the staff membe...

Rick Blaine

I am very glad. It has been too long since we've talked.

I M me some time at DanREELvision

BWAHAHAHAHAHA JONESY!

Thanks Dakota! How have you been? haven't talked to you in awhile.

Sincerest Regards.

Look at the size of the storm flap, this could very well be a production still, and not an actual screen used jacket. And I do not CLEARLY see the Idol set (no offense toward Agent5) perhaps I need to watch the film again. Another thing is... This could very well be screen used because after costume...

Just remember Lord Clarence, "you just can't have one!". It's a slippery slope that a lot of us, once we have stepped on it, have slipped all the way down right into the 12 step programs we are always talking about. :-) -S ohhhhhhh...... Believe me, I second this, and will take it one ste...

Rick Blaine

You're both right. If you go on www.acmedepot.com and follow the appropriate links it talks about the history of the "crusher" caps. There were two reasons this hat was called the "crusher" the first was what was said earlier about the pilots taking out the stiffiner ring inside ...

"Derailing" isn't the word for my dilema. I go to a vintage clothing show, I want 1930's clothes, I go to a gunshow I want an Indy S&W, I go to FS and I want a flight jacket, and that is the main thing at the moment, but it doesn't end there... Now I find myself studying the history of...

Rick Blaine

Yes I thought it was Peter banning, listen, how I am suppose to know, remember IT IS DUSTIN HOFFMAN that's saying it!

Rick Blaine

Yes but Chamorro, you failed to remember about the alternate ending to Casablanca (from the Simpsons) Where Hitler comes out of the piano and Iilsa comes back from the plane to save Rick Blaine just in time. NOW THAT was a beautiful ending. Actually in my opinion Casablanca was not a sad ending at a...

Rick Blaine

Welcome back _. I must say since I saw you at Buchanhin Arms when ITG was here my mind has thought of nothing other than that beautiful M422 A that you were wearing. Awesome jacket.

NO NO. I'm not talking about Peter Botwright! I'm talking about Peter Banning (Robin Williams) from the delightful Steven Spielberg film "Hook". I recently bought the (lame on special features) DVD for my collection, and while watching I noticed his specs, now is it just me or are those BO...

Holly. The lambskin has never been known to be a good durable leather. It can tear very easily. And as far as surviving stunts. It didn't. Watch the making of Raiders. There are holes galore in that jacket. Sincerest Regards. Dan

Rick Blaine

Regarding the cuffs, every jacket (including FS) has an allowance of leather folded under so if the owner of the jacket wanted a longer sleeve he could do so at a later date. My Wested and every FS I have seen has this allowance tucked under, this creates a thicker section on the end of the sleeve. ...

Rick Blaine

Also, regarding the fabric. The Howard fabric was always to thin for my taste. It reminded me too much of a dress shirt.

I have never heard of Swiss Cotton. Egyptian yes, Swiss no.

Rick Blaine

Hey Pyro, Expect an Instant Message. Where was this tailor when I needed her? The collar doesn't look curved enough on the sides to me. The stitching is nice, the epuelets could stand to go back just a little more. Very nice, are you coming to the QM this year? Sincerest Regards. Dan P.S. I paid $20...

I was going to say Allen Edmonds. I was at a car show last weekend hunting for 1936 Ford parts, and came across two vintage pairs of Allen Edmond wing tips (black and white, and brown and white) each for $50. I have seen new Allen Edmond wing tips go for as much as $500, unfortunately, my father has...

"Bedroom adventures" is exactly the stereotype Sebastian and others from Whip enthusiasts are trying to exterminate from the associated hobby of sport cracking. Sebastian's goal is to make Sport whipcracking an olympic sport, but stereotyping this incredible sport is exactly what is keepin...

I am sorry Sergei. My mind misplaced that you owned the pair. Perhaps you could show them to me today with Rundquist. It wasn't "celebrity" status, I just failed to remember that you owned a pair as well.

Rick Blaine

I know that the prototypes had wider pocket flaps, and the pockets cargo pockets are too far back, also I believe the action pleat is stitched in perfect alignment with the shoulder stitch, when it should be 1/8 off. FS could tell you, or _.

Sincerest Regards.

That is a beautiful whip. I had the honour of "throwing" some Mike Murphy stockwhips owned by Sebastian of Whip Enthusiasts when I was in Dallas, TX. Those whips sang, as a matter of fact, I have always had trouble with stock whips, the balance, and feel, but that gorgeous pair of Mike Mur...

Rick Blaine

3k if I have come off as "arrogant" or "rude" I apologize. Your zealous, and passionate work is certainly illustrated in your posts. My only disagreement is I do not believe that the hat was bashed off center, I believe it only took a slight "turn" to make the "Cia...

Rick Blaine

I admit some of the photographs do merit your theory as far as accuracy is concerned. That is not what I am arguing. What I am arguing is the fact that this was originally done for the film which I must wholeheartedly say "NO" I have said this once, and I am not alone. Harrison Ford has a ...

Rick Blaine

Congratulations Sergei, I was honored to be there to share your happiness. Sincerest Regards. Blaine

P.S. "That is my least vulnerable spot"

Rick Blaine

The framesdirect website is somewhat misleading. Thanks to Sergei for the following information. The photograph of the Berkshires shown on the website is different from what you order. If you notice on the temples the BOICs have a half plastic piece on both sides. The berkshires of Pyroxenes do not,...

I am 16, and absolutely cannot stand the attire of the average young american male. Dear God. It lacks culture, sophistication etc. Watching the classic 3 Stooges shorts I am reminded of the above quote by MK that, yes, even the bums dressed better than the average male. What amazes me is that today...

That is a wealth of knowledge. I have tried to contact Jim Butkis. I live 5 minutes from Escondido. It would be very interesting to see some of the pieces in his collection. One thing that fascinates me is how in the 30's and 40's respect toward one another was considered practical and common. For e...
