Nice! I did end up getting a partial refund and kept the jacket, which is now literally falling apart.

Pyramid Jones

Steele & Jones can do whatever you need. I’m getting an LC from them and they’ve been nothing but helpful in the process.

Pyramid Jones

Sounds great. I recently bought on of the Thin HH jackets of another member on here and am more than thrilled with it. They take quite a lot wearing to soften up but the jacket will outlast me I reckon. Might get to take a picture or two over the holidays and post em up. I’d definitely be intereste...

I’m getting the thick cowhide, it’s more in my budget than the horsehide.

Pyramid Jones

I have a remake coming, too. The fit and leather are great, but this was the second white label LC jacket with the snaps exposed on the top of the pocket flaps. I understand with the first jacket, since mine was the prototype white label LC. I’m hoping third time’s the charm, and Magnoli has been g...

I’m joining the club everyone! Placed a down payment on a Cazadora ‘38 today after my current issues with the Magnoli WL jacket I just received. Figured why deal with the hassle of I’ll fitting and poor quality jacket sand jump straight to the best of the best. I requested a distressed level somewhe...

Pyramid Jones

Hmm, I've never had any structural concerns (stitching, etc.) on any of my Magnoli jackets - everything is nice & tight. Heck, personally, I prefer it to USWings and a few Westeds' that I've owned. But, of course, to each his/her own. Looking forward to seeing your new jacket once you get it re...

Pyramid Jones

The undertones of my jacket weren't grey, but I did notice a very minor nick in the leather too. I've owned two Magnoli jackets and between the two, one was more tailored in the waist than the other (despite the measurements regarding the waist being exactly the same). For me, they're not deal-brea...

Don't worry... we'll get this fixed up for you. Joachim has had a couple of days off, so his response is delayed due to this. He'll be catching up with things tomorrow. :TOH: I appreciate the reply and Joachim did get in touch with me today so hopefully, we can come to a solution. I really do like ...

Pyramid Jones

This was similar to my experience ordering a Magnoli Raider's WL as well. It came with a number of production defects and quality issues that in the short term detracted from the appearance of the jacket, and in the long term made it unlikely that the jacket would hold up to regular wear. Sadly, Jo...

I agree entirely.

The color is grey which if I’m being picky isn’t like the pictures on the website or really what I’ve seen from other peoples post.

Pyramid Jones

Hello everyone, so for you folks that followed my thread about Wested LC versus Magnoli LC I now have in my possession both of these offerings. So the Wested jacket is great in fit and quality, the Magnoli not so much. My issues with the Magnoli jacket can be seen in the photos attached through the ...

No it should be titled the “Cairo Bazaar”. I’d get in touch with an admin and find out why you can’t see it.

Pyramid Jones

Not sure if this is the best place to mention this (I don't see a spot particularly to sell singular items, so please feel free to delete this message admins), but I mistakingly bought an Advintage Harrison Raider's Fedora without a turn, 56cm Sable. I'd like to return it, but the shipping costs ar...

Update for you folks. I received the Wested predistressed lc jacket yesterday and it’s a great fit. Sizing is spot on for me and the look of the jacket is not Overbearing with the predistressed hide. Here are some pics https://imgur.com/gallery/PBrBVNJ Looking good! When you get the sizing right th...

Wow, that jacket fits you perfectly , congrats! :TOH: would be interested to see how the leather looks under sunlight as well I was pleasantly surprised after reading so many bad things about Wested sizing for off the rack jackets. For reference I’m 6 foot and about 190-200 pounds. On their size gu...

I've been tempted to try a WL Raiders jacket, but not if it comes more glued that stitched. I suppose if I do try a magnoli one it will have to be the deluxe priced one. I'll let you know if it's glued or not, from the sounds of it that were a hiccup that only happened a few times :-k . With a $300...

Pyramid Jones

Captain D I have always prefered the LC jacket over the raiders jacket. Its got to have something to do with the distressing or something I'm not sure. Just an fyi when I ordered mine the other day, after discussing measurements with a manager at Magnoli and the order was processed, it stated there ...

Pyramid Jones

Imma hang on to it and use it for survey in July in my rotation of other shirts. But I am going to pick up a long once I get back in august.

Pyramid Jones

Hey guys, I just got a wpg shirt and I got to say the shipping was amazing. Shipped from United Arab Emirates and was here at my door in New Mexico in 3 days. However, the shirt has a quality control issue or is perhaps a second. One pocket flap is almost half an inch bigger than the other and one s...

I just spoke with Herbert Johnson about getting a yij hat made. They stated they can do it in beaver and follow the specs of the original hat. For only around $600 I think that’s an excellent deal for beaver and being from the original hatters. In comparison my full beaver western weight custom hats...

Pyramid Jones

I ordered one on May 10th, I think? It's not really jacket weather, so I am not really in a bind or anything. What I can say is that I traded emails with someone at Magnoli where I was pretty much having an existential crisis trying to find my correct measurements. I'm in a position now where even ...

I really hope so. I think by getting photos when the jacket is finished I will be able to catch any of the possible issues that other people have had before it gets to me here in the states.

Pyramid Jones

Okay, everyone, I sent an email to magnoliclothiers to address some of the concerns I had. The fellow I talked to was super helpful and even offered to send me photos after the order is completed if I do indeed order. I think I am going to give them a shot, if I get a bad jacket I can't return then ...

I ordered 2 White Label jackets from Magnoli that both shipped 1 month after ordering. However, both arrived with serious production defects and had to be remade (Magnoli Clothiers does not accept returns, even for production issues). The remakes took another three months, and then the jackets arri...

Pyramid Jones

Hey everyone I am strongly considering one of the LC white label jackets that Magnoli is making now. I was going to go with the wested LC but I want cowhide and a better fit than what most describe. So I'm curious for those of you that have this jacket, how long were the wait times? and how do you o...

Pyramid Jones

Beaver can definitely take a beating. Now idk about dress weight beaver but the hats I wear are custom made by a buddy down around Austin Texas. They are a heavy-duty beaver felt, I have two hats, one is going on 10 years old and I wear it occasionally, the other I have which is exactly the same is ...

Pyramid Jones

Oh maybe thats it.

Pyramid Jones

I have been trying to contact Fedora by his email for a week and I get no reply. What should I do.

Pyramid Jones

Ya I understand except I don't want to screw up one of Steve's masterpieces.

Pyramid Jones

Ok I will keep reblocking the cowboy hats and let Steve do the hats I wear everyday.

Pyramid Jones

Ok good. I have reblocked 3. They were all cowboy hats that I turned into fedoras. My block is not great but I hope to be getting a new one soon.

Pyramid Jones

Ok, Then when I get to a store tomarow that has Naptha I will do that to my AB first. It won't do anything to the ribbon though?

Pyramid Jones

Ok I can leave the sweat and liner on it. What about the ribbon would that do anything?

Pyramid Jones

Ok thanks for the advice I will try the soap method before the naptha. Does the naptha make the hat taper if its not on a block. I have an AB too and once I learned more about this I was going to try it on the AB as well. Can I leave the liner in it or will it soak through?

Pyramid Jones

I am going to reblock an old cowboy hat to a fedora and am wondering about the use of Naptha. What I need to know is how to use and anything that concerns it and the hat. I need to do this because 1:the cats got there hair all over it :x 2: Dust from the closet has well seeped into it I guess :-k an...

Pyramid Jones

Nice John!!! Looks Great!!!

Pyramid Jones

It is not as wide as the YIJ ribbon.

Pyramid Jones

Thanks Michaelson I steamed it a little on the underneath of the brim and had no result for there are a few spots there.

Pyramid Jones

Well on the top I have it covered with light brown almost tan and I think it is dirt but it covers the top and I have brushed the hat but can't get it off. I was wondering can you all suggest anything I can do yo get rid of it. I have even used some steam and brushed it at the same time.

Pyramid Jones

YA that is what I am going to do I bought about 4 old wool cowboy hats off of ebay and I am going to try with those first.

Pyramid Jones

Ok I will. Thanks Bink. There was one more thing I wanted to know about I was checking out hatsupply.com and noticed all of the hat bodies they have can you all tell me in advance which body I should get from them and in what color. They have fur felt they have beaver but it is long hair. I was wond...

Pyramid Jones

Ya I saw that. Well, I am not willing to pay that much for my first time.

Pyramid Jones

Ok well I looked on eBay for a old cowboy hat and I could not hardly come up with anything in the right size and color.

Pyramid Jones

Well, I got the block now all I need is a hat body and I will already have everything else. Well what I need to know is where to get a hat body preferably rabbit so that away I don't spend to much money on a beaver and screw up or something. Ok back to this I need to know where to get a raw hat body.
