I would say you still have a great hat. It's isn't a 100% by Steve's hand and doesn't have the block, liner and won't yield the exact shape but it will still be a good hat. I have all of Steve's blocks and parts. I can always bring it back to its 100% glory when you are ready but try and enjoy the ...

I'm trying to decide if I've made a mistake. I bought a Crystal Skull AB back in 2010 from Steve. I absolutely love my hat (you can see it over there<==== in my profile pic). Lately, it's been looking a bit scruffy. At first, I was happy to let it get that personal character from whatever adventures...

Personally, I like my Todd's boots that I bought a few years ago. I don't use them for work, but I like them for kicking around town. My understanding is that he has a new run now that is higher quality.

afterthedog

Welcome! Enjoy your hat.

A few years ago my well intentioned mother-in law bought me an official, licensed, fur felt fedora that came with a tear drop crown

. I took it to a local hatter to have him remove the tear drop and put in a center crease. Twenty bucks later I had what I asked for.

This reminds me of a time I was on a jobsite. A coworker, for some reason I can't remember, decided to start bashimg on Mormons. Several times a day he would pop off with some derogatory comment toward them and laugh his fool head off. Finally, toward the end of the day, he shot his mouth off again....

Excellent finds! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see these in person soon.

The average person on the street or in the workplace isn't going to notice the difference between khakis and officer pinks. It's only the freaks from this forum who will chastise you for inaccuracy.

afterthedog

At last! Now we can stop worring and fussing over all those details of screen accuracy. You have saved us all a lot of needless stress and online battles. THANK YOU!

My Wested is always ready to go, followed by my heavier Disney jacket if it gets really cold.

I'm up in Greeley. Colorado (COWlorado?) members are few and far between. Marshallbennett (Lance) is in the Denver area. We joined up for the AMC Theaters' marathon a few weeks ago. I'd be all for a meet up. Lance probably would be, too.

Of course he should keep both shoes!

I'll be spending the day at the Indy AMC Theaters marathon, so this fits in nicely!

Fantastic!

You really have the look of Professor Jones there!

I've gotten to the point that I don't wear my hat if I know I'm going to have to take it off somewhere. I don't mind taking it off at a friend's house, where I can be aware of it's location and relative safety, but when there's nowhere to put it, forget it. I hate wearing it while I eat, and there's...

My wife isnot going to be happy with me when (not if) I lay down the money for this.

I voted for Crystal Skull because I think it's the most wearable in multiple situations. I wear mine camping as well as to church with a suit. The SOC has a great look, but it's on the edge of looking worn out, which is great for the scene, but not so much for a more sophisticated look. Next I would...

afterthedog

Evil. Pure evil.

afterthedog

I didn't vote since I couldn't vote for all of them.
I wear my brown AB with pretty much anything with a collar. I really like it with Hawaiian shirts, and the louder the better.
Really, with brown being a neutral color, it goes with everything.

does anyone wear their fedora and satchel when ever they leave the house? i do My fedora is on my head pretty much every time I leave the house other than for work ( I work construction, and even though my AB may be tough as nails, I don't need to destroy it on a job site). My mark VII, however, go...

Great find! I'll bet that brought back all kinds of memories.

Did anyone happen to see the duct tape fedora that Adam made himself on the Duct Tape Island episode of Mythbusters?

I think a person could wear the entire SA Indiana Jones "costume", minus the whip, gunbelt, and fedora, and no one outside of gearheads would ever equate the clothing with Indy. However, add the fedora to a pair of tan pants and a brown leather jacket, and the mind instantly goes to Indy. ...

Who are you worried about making comments? Gangsters with their pants hanging off their butt, not showing enough sense to pull their pants up? I have a very hard time taking fashion tips from anyone these days. Wear your gear like you own it. People may look, but probably won't say anything. Truthfu...

Actually, that was his brother.

Wow. Looks and sounds just like him.

I just watched him today in The Ghost and the Darkness. Fantastic movie.

They certainly look the part, and you can't beat free.

I like the look of the Red Wings better.

My hat goes on my noggin pretty much year 'round. In cooler weather it's joined by the jacket. Recently I've started carrying my bag to work on a daily basis as it's pretty useful for carrying stuff (Whoda thunk?) like my Ipod, Kindle, Excedrin, snacks, and NO! It's not my man purse!

afterthedog

Something I haven't noticed addressed here is who makes the majority of purchases from Todd. Is it primarily Gearheads from forums like this, or is it people looking for a costume piece? If it's Gearheads, then I think this thread has proven that option 3 is the way to go, but if it's costume piece ...

afterthedog

I had to think about this for a while, but, considering what I use my current $75 Todd's boots for, I would go for option 2. My current pair has lasted for a couple of years now, with no problems that weren't a result of my own abuse. I wear them almost every time I wear pants instead of shorts, but...

afterthedog

Fun to watch, and some good skills there.
Is it just me, or does the lady in the upper left corner of the screen look just a little afraid of getting hit with the whip?

afterthedog

We had one evening here in Colorado that was jacket worthy a couple of weeks ago, but it has been high 80s every day since. It's cooled off a little the past couple of days, but I hear it's warming up again, though.
It won't be long now, though.

afterthedog

Like others here I like the CS configuration too. I didn't really have full gear until after CS, but the backward gun belt through the whip holder made the most sense to keep the gun belt from sliding off my hip, as well as making it easier to get the gun belt on and off.
So, in short, I like it!

afterthedog

I have both Farnums and Aldens. I love them both and wear them pretty much every day. I may be mistaken, but my sense is that Todd's are made to be a "costume" boot rather than a daily wearer. If you want them just to wear when you're "geared up" for some event, that's one thing...

afterthedog

The tall crown was one of the reasons I wanted my AB. I have a very high crown to my head, and regular hats don't fit at all. I look absolutely ridiculous in baseball hats as they always ride really high on my head as if I'm wearing a kid's hat. The high crown of the Indy fedora is a must for me.

I got the greatest reaction ever on my AB just about a week ago. My family and I took a trip to Branson, MO for 4th of July week. While we were there we visited Silver Dollar City - kind of a backwoods Ozarks theme park for those of you who don't know. On all of their thrill rides they have an absol...

The more I watch CS the more I like it. After doing an Indy marathon for the 30th I felt that it was a pretty good (no, not the best) addition to the series.

The heel on the left boot has seperated a bit but I haven't decided what I'm going to do about that. Surely there's a shoe repair shop in your neck of the woods? Do a google search, find one, and just take it to them and get it fixed. It's an easy repair for a competent cobbler, and quite inexpensi...

afterthedog

I'd wear it!

afterthedog

I think you should look good in a fedora, but there is definitely something not right about that hat on your head. Something about the front on view makes it look pointy on top instead of the straight up stove pipe look which I think should look good on you. Maybe it's the sizing like others have su...

A bullwhip dragged behind a troop carrier is in "mint condition"?

I've never had Indy comments unless in full gear at conventions or Halloween .

I wear size 12 shoes all the time and my size 12 Todd's fit great.

But that might be easier solved by just designing the Jacket all on "one side" as it were....So, if you wanted the zipper on the right, have the storm flap on the right too? If you changed the position of the storm flap it would cause a difficulty for the right handed wearer. We would hav...

afterthedog

I believe the zipper pull was put on the left side to hide it behind the storm flap.

That 6 week time frame is pretty accurate. I ordered an Adventurebilt about 1 1/2 years ago and got my hat right on time.
By the way, some of the best money I ever spent.

Oh, also by the way...Welcome!

Where in Wyoming were these taken? I've been eyeballing a spot just south of Cheyenne for my own photo shoot...Looks just like the desert scenes from LC.

Nah, I've been dragging my feet on it. His birthday is in a couple of weeks, so I have a little time. I'm mostly just trying to decide how much money to spend.

My first fedora was from Walt Disney World. I was sooooo happy \:D/ to have an Indy fedora,I wore it everywhere, even to the top of Long's Peak ( that's a story). Eventually, with all of my tweaking and fiddling with it, coupled with an Indy-obsessed three year old son, it got pretty well destroyed....
