A gentleman from The Fedoralounge just posted these pics of a hat he had Mike at Northwest Hats make for him. I hope he doesn't mind me reposting them here. But the show the quality of Mikes work. I love the detail on the bow. fedoralover http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/fedoralover/232323232...

:tup: Nice hat, Joeyeah_right! :tup: Looks great on ya! Is that the beaver felt version? Yes, It's the beaver felt. My budget would only allow for one hand-crafted hat at the present time, so it had to be a beaver. If i had gone for the rabbit, then i know i would always regret not going for beaver...

Ah. I am finally a member of the "Penman Owners" club. The package was delivered today. I have been waiting for this moment for the past five months, and it was great to finally receive the box today! Inside the cardboard box was the famous Penman Hat Box, and what a lovely box it is! http...

I just checked my email on my phone last night as I was in bed before going to sleep and I had a new email. It was a Paypal request from Penman Hats asking for payment! I guess my first ever Penman is about to go on the block! \:D/ I quickly logged in to Paypal and made payment! Now it's just hopefu...

Very nice! I really like the new lining!

Gorgeous looking jacket, but it looks too heavy for an "Indy" jacket.
And if I was going to stump up the cash for an Aero I'd get one of their "1930's Half-Belts"

Seeing as Wested made that particular coat for the X-Men: First Class film, I'd say you're best bet is to get it from them.
Can't get much more SA than getting it from the guy who made it for the film!

I think Tony's first batch of shrunken lamb was probably closer than what he later used. Mine was one of the earlier ones and was not anything like some of the sci-fi looking jackets he later produced. I think he ended up accomodating fan's calls for "striations" and specific areas of gra...

It stands for "Original Poster" - which basically means the person who wrote the first post in this thread about shortening the hat's brim.

Well on Feb 24th I placed an order for a Crystal Skull Penman Beaver, and a few days go I received the paper measurement... Now here comes what I'm sure is the toughest part: The Wait. =P~ Quick question: Does the wait time start when you order the Fedora, or when you confirm the measurement? Thank...

Ooh! That Aero 'Indypendant' is a lovely looking jacket! =P~ =P~ As you say - not thick enough or light enough for an 'Indy' jacket, but still... =P~ If only i had the money... Maybe one day... Although if i could afford an Aero I would go for a Surrogates style jacket rather than an Indy style :) R...

Joeyeah_right

You might actually be lucky.. I'd try a medium if I were you, at your height. I measure 45" in the chest and that's the only place a medium was tight for me. And my large seems just a little roomy. The Legends are different. I have a U.S. version and I need an XL, to go along with what's alrea...

Why did Wested put D Rings on a Raiders jacket? Is that how they come OTR? Kyle yep, the OTR sport those screen inaccurate D rings. that said, those jackets are still quite nice. But a notch under the new Hero jackets, in all fairness... Technically the "D" rings are not inaccurate as the...

They could definitely cast Mitch as Indy if they wanted to do an movie set between LC & KOTCS

Hi Nightgoat. Welcome to the forum! The best thing to do would be to give your measurements (the ones your wife took of your head size) to Mr Garrison himself and let him decide which is the best size for you. Not all hatters 'hat sizes' are the same, and can differ, so giving the measurements to th...

I would imagine getting the back panel wet and then let it dry with something heavy like a large heavy hardback book lying on top of it flattening the crease might work?

Two things with this pic: http://www.odysseeducinema.fr/galerie/Indiana%20Jones%20et%20le%20crane%20de%20cristal/Crane28.JPG ~Do you guys think the pack on the left is the SAME pack Indy uses earlier in the film? and second: ~Why is Cate Blanchett the only one with a safety harness in this pic lol?...

I just used the whole day on distressing my HH LC. I'm not much for distressing anymore but I had the urge for so long now, actually since I got it. and since I wont be wearing my HH daily it probably would take about 80 years before it would look like soething Indy would have worn. then I'm dead a...

That's a nice looking backpack in the first link!

I have made the choice to order one more Indy jacket in my proper size(??) in the pre-dis leather,Wested LC style....but, this Magneto jacket is calling me. I have not seen the movie, but from the trailer it looks like Wested built it, to me. I already have the Doctor/U-boat jacket in pre-dis, but ...

Wow Zoltar! That's a NICE looking jacket!

I think Peter's got it spot on with this 'Hero' pattern!

...and the Todds ''bantu'' of course. that is my favortie of them all I think and have been thinking of distressing it down to remove the shine and dust it up for picture taking like the one above since I got the jacket for beating it up in the first place. I just kinda have fallen in love it and f...

Wow! Is there anything Magnoli can't do when it comes to clothing?

Joe

Joeyeah_right

The finished product is good. I have seen the prototype earlier this year. I suggest the Wested bashers hold fire until we have seen a few of these. [-X Come to think of it we did until the bile forced a poster to pull his pics =; That's why I've not posted any Pic's of my Hero, Whiskyman's thread ...

Joeyeah_right

If you have the money to get a Magnoli then that's what I'd recommend. I don't believe Wings does a custom jacket so you couldn't go that route with them, although they do nice jackets. Otherwise there's always a custom Wested, which would be cheaper than a Magnoli, but although they can turn out a ...

Joeyeah_right

First of all: Welcome Dresden! :) Now, I do not own a Magnoli jacket (although I would love to one day!) But from the photos i've seen of the jackets they are REALLY nice! If I had the money spare to spend on a Magnoli, I wouldn't hesitate to get one. Hopefully one of the members who own a Magnoli j...

Wow! Great photo!! Love the lighting, the framing, the colour! Everything about it!

(And the hat sure does look great too!

Thanks for the advice Michaelson!

I shall seek a tailor's advice first to see what they can do (and how much it will cost) and go from here.

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't too tight like the Large was. Normally i always leave the jacket un-zipped.

Finally got my XL jacket! - It arrived into UK customs on May 27th and has been sitting there for a week before they send out the letter saying I have to pay a customs charge, then, once i pay they post it out on Monday and the mailman attempted to deliver it on Tuesday but of course both me and my ...

Hey guys, thinking about buying one of these. I'm about 6'2" and wear a 44L jacket. I generally like my clothes to "fit", not baggy, but not tight either. Should i get the XL or the L? Need advice from the experts! Thanks Sean Hi Sean, I am 6'2" and wear a 44L and if you go back...

Yeah, I've gone for the XL and my wife is seriously thinking of keeping the Large for herself, so it saves me trying to sell it.

When the XL arrives i'll put up a couple of pics to show how it fits.

Okay, here are some pics of me wearing the Large size.

Well, I got my jacket today (had to collect it from the Post Office today because yesterday I received the "While you were out..." card from the mailman). Tried it on, and as i suspected, it was too short, both in the arms (a bit), and (most importantly) way too short in the body, (I am a ...

Joeyeah_right

That's feels like a weak point in my new Bantu jacket. Plus, it's a 'wrong side' zipper, as in a woman's jacket. I'm sure it can be easily replaced by a tailor or seamstress. In the UK a zipper on the left is a man's jacket and a zipper on the right is a woman's jacket. I know it's the opposite in ...

Joeyeah_right

According to the tracking - mine left UK customs yesterday, so should arrive today - too bad I'm at work. It means I'll get home to a card from the mailman saying "We tried to deliver but you were out..." and I'll have to collect it from the Post Office tomorrow, if I can get there before ...

Joeyeah_right

Hmm....I'm worried slightly about the size now..I went with large, but may have been better off with an XL... Ah well, it's just cleared Japanese customs, so I should have it by tomorrow sometime I guess... We'll see then.. If it's too large I'll be selling it on and heading back for an XL I think....

Wested used to sell a Stonewashed Denim Raiders jacket, which I bought last year. They had some in the clearance section recently. It's a nice jacket and is a lot more breathable than the leather for the hotter months.
