Wow, just did that search and I'm turning up like-minded sentiments as what you voiced. Though most of what I'm seeing is 3 or 4 years old.

Heading back to Google, but if anyone's had these more recently, has anything changed?

Cheers.

Anyone have a pair? I'm considering grabbing them while they're on sale-- I like the look of them.

Are they true to size? Durable? Any input would be appreciated.

BaptisteTheFool

The observation must be made... In that third picture, with the contrasted lighting, the frilly drapes and the couch and your arms outstretched as they are, you appear as a zombie from some 1930s Lugosi type film, rising from a coffin in a funeral home. :lol: That said, great looking jacket! :tup:

BaptisteTheFool

I've had a pair for over a year now, but I just bought two more with this sale. Thanks for the heads up.

BaptisteTheFool

Graeme says a tracking number would be fine and that it's his usual practice anyway.

I didn't mention you, Daren, but considering he says he always sends tracking numbers, perhaps double-check your inbox? Might you have overlooked it?

Get mine too!

DHW

Luckily mine hasn't shipped yet, and doesn't for a few more weeks. I guess in the future, it'd be best to ask for tracking in advance.

Do you have a tracking number?

BaptisteTheFool

_'s thread pointed out that the jacket's origin, according to the film's timeline and the timeline established in the expanded literature, would originate somewhere in the 1920s. He pointed out in his thread that zippers didn't become common on jackets until the late 30s. So his timeline is still co...

BaptisteTheFool

Pardon, I meant the Indy 4 hat was sold last year, not last month.^^^^

BaptisteTheFool

Yeah, I know which hat you're referring to...

Quick search says Screen Used sold their Raiders gun last year. And a Indy4 Fedora was sold at auction last month too... Still could have sworn that this hat was sold... senile? Is there a date you found for the sale?

BaptisteTheFool

Didn't he sell it like 6 months ago? I seem to recall a thread with pretty much this exact title.

BaptisteTheFool

Wow, I like a lot. Though their model can't pull off the look...

BaptisteTheFool

The grail they had was the one he holds up in the film referring to it as the humble chalice created by a carpenter. I can try get some pics but will have to go up that way again, will see how I get on ... It will make me look like some kind of weirdo though, taking photos of a restauratn window wi...

BaptisteTheFool

Wasn't the false grail sold in auction a few months ago?

Pictures?

BaptisteTheFool

Just received PM from Graeme: the whips were shipped on Friday! Hopefully they'll get here in time for CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Woo-hoo! Do you know what this means? GRAEME ROBERTS IS SANTA CLAUS!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: DHW Excellent! Look ...

BaptisteTheFool

I wonder if yours is just a holdover from Graeme's hiatus? I'm expecting mine, ordered at the end of September, to arrive end of January/ beginning of February. Though I haven't heard from him in awhile to see if he's still on track. Eagerly looking forward to it, though. Your review of the 6fter yo...

BaptisteTheFool

SITTING?

Well, I think we need a "during" as well, if that's the case. Before, during and after?

BaptisteTheFool

I was quoted $100+.

Needless to say, I didn't take him up on the offer.

BaptisteTheFool

I concur on Wade's super holder. The whip isn't going anywhere with one of those.

BaptisteTheFool

Got mine today... first impressions are favorable. I wore 'em all afternoon today after switching the laces & putting a cushy ("are ya' jellin'?) insole in. Comfortable and quicker break-in than my Red Wings... dunno if that's good or not. I'll post pix as able, but I'll say this; Alden sh...

BaptisteTheFool

Those look great! Just need some new shoe laces and you're set for shoes! :tup: On a side note about the Todd's boots, I talked to the lady at the Todd's booth yesterday and she said that they will be going with a new boot maker shortly. She said they were working on improving the shoes overall, an...

BaptisteTheFool

I have two. Both were bought as seconds on eBay. And they're both extremely different. The first one I bought is too small for use as a weapon's belt, the second one is a tad too big but... The first one is a lighter brown, it's a stiffer leather. The second has a richer coffee-like color. It's a mo...

BaptisteTheFool

Heh-- I had never heard of these before, but they really have the look down. $150 seems like a reasonable gamble if only I could afford to gamble.

Todd's boots haven't held up for me too well...

BaptisteTheFool

Seconded on strap cutting. Especially if you're short. I cut mine. And actually when I was carrying stuff in the bag before I cut the strap, it would irritate my shoulder. It now hangs more SA and doesn't feel like such a burden.

Cut it to suit your height.

BaptisteTheFool

I bought one the other day. Been meaning to post pictures. Not altogether accurate, but not bad...

http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/933_UHC_4 ... Brown/1649

BaptisteTheFool

Todd's. Can't beat it for SA at the price point. It's usable and will hold up, but it shouldn't really be used extensively, at least in my experience. Others have had better luck.

BaptisteTheFool

I have a couple pair of those. Great pants! Yes, Orvis stuff are somewhat expensive but the pants are very durable and comfortable! Not that it matters for me since Orvis discriminates against little people... ...but if you got them as close-enoughs, did you go with the browns or the khakis? How do...

BaptisteTheFool

Yeah-- Orvis is Sizeist anyway. 32" and up!

I'm a 30".

BaptisteTheFool

Saw these in the Orvis Catalog today-- http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=9852&prodgroupid=&prefix=pg&varcatidsrc=SI00&item_code=985G http://www.orvis.com/orvis_assets/prodimg/9852FHbrn.jpg Pretty accurate, though I'm not so sure about the brown. Perhaps a tad too dark? An...

BaptisteTheFool

Gotta say if it really has the SA features but fits a bit better... I'd go for that. The jacket I tried on from you was excessively ill-fitting. I might try again for a better fitting piece. As for insulation... I'm indifferent. Could be a nice feature. But I kinda want a lighter jacket that I could...

Or maybe it was the other gun I'm thinking of? A cursory search of the boards turns up nothing.

...I could just be going senile at 22?

BaptisteTheFool

Todd has said the orange tip pops off very easily... Know I saw that posted either on the boards or his site...

Rather than paint it, why not just pop it off?

BaptisteTheFool

Lol, guy's swimming in that jacket. I could probably use that for a blanket.

Love that leather, though!

BaptisteTheFool

Looks nicer than mine. Got the UHC today. It's pretty much what I expected. A bit bigger than I expected, though. It's a little plasticy feeling, though the grips feel wood-like. Took it out for a few shots and it seems to shoot straight. Not bad. Pretty much exactly what I expected it to be. I'll t...

BaptisteTheFool

Beautiful.

Grrr. Missed the ###### Fedex guy. Now I have to wait until Tuesday.

BaptisteTheFool

This is one of the most stunningly gorgeous jackets I've seen posted.

Absolutely perfect.

BaptisteTheFool

True, gearheads will know, but no one else will. That said, may as well get a $6 capgun. ;) Kidding of course. :lol: Thing is, they're selling that as an Indiana Jones package. That's all that bothers me. Why not use the right gun in the first place? Even a K frame would be the right outline. :-s R...

The Raiders revolver was an N frame Smith. Two completely different guns.

Regards! Michaelson

And it's $25. It'll stuff in a holster and no one but gear heads will be the wiser.

BaptisteTheFool

I shall let you know on Saturday. Fedex says it'll be here by then.

BaptisteTheFool

Darn it, this might have been a better option. http://www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=6231&catid= Opinions? Photoss may not approve, but Todd's is out of my price range right now. As a holster stuffer, that looks decent enough for me. I just ordered it from Amazon (SpeedyToys.com is uni...

Man, that looks gorgeous! Can't wait til I get mine.

I take it you're quite happy with its performance?

It's ALL flicks, because there's a patch of Bamboo to the left of me, and a tree to the right and above me. There's no place to let the whip stretch out here.

Looks like that other jacket someone posted some months back. There was one on Amazon and it was like $150. Anyone remember what I'm talking about? Edit: Here we are-- http://www.amazon.com/Brushed-Napa-Leather-Coat-Color/dp/B001VE2T5S/ref=sr_1_223?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qlEnable=1&qid=12864...

BaptisteTheFool

And thanks to you, Daren. It was your review of that 6fter that convinced me to go with Graeme.

BaptisteTheFool

Heh, yeah. I agree.

Hollywood's tone leaves a lot to be desired. Found him pretty disrespectful with me the other week as well.

I've got one of Graeme's whips coming to me probably in late January. Gift from my folks. Looking forward to it immensely.
