Re: Signed Fedora

I understand that. I don't really have the money to send it to the US and get it checked out. However, after speaking to a few people, they've pretty much said that getting a COA is worthless as all it proves to them is that hat is what I'm claiming it to be. With the internet, I could easily forge ...

Re: Signed Fedora

other than there's a picture of SPF signing the hat? No. But then, getting COA isn't worth the time at all or even worth the paper it's printed on. All the COA proves is that it's a hat signed by said people. Which I know it's genuinely signed, I know the guy I bought it from. He went to those shows...

Signed Fedora

Two years ago now, I came into possession of a signed Dorfman Pacific fedora signed by a handful of Indiana Jones actors. Namely John Hurt, Julian Glover, Sean Flanery, Vic Armstrong and Wendy Leech. There is no official COA, but I was given a sheet with the star's names on, where the show was and t...

Re: Wested Leather shirts/trousers

I was doing some pricing up. Wested's trousers would cost me £70 including postage within the UK. WPG trousers would end up costing me more in the range of about £130. Which would include shipping to the UK, plus relevant import tax and customs fees. AS much as people say that WPG trousers are good,...

It's because that UK Gun Laws, especially the VCRA declare that all guns that are of a post 1870 design are banned, unless you happen to belong to a museum, theatrical group or re-enactment society. I think it's wrong as you can buy a BB Gun version of said weaponry as long as they conform to VCRA r...
