I got my jacket without the gussets and they seem fine to me although one gusset could be a bit more practical. I just ordered his standard no mods Raiders jacket on ebay. It doesn't have xbox stitching, no gussets, no elastic on the action pleats, and it wasn't 80's cut.

Colby

I think he was talking about the press studs on the jacket. They are like buttons that pop on the top and bottom of the storm flap to keep the flap tight against the jacket. I had a bomber jacket with it and I never used them either. As far as I know everyone gets the storm flap and it comes standar...

I just went to another walmart and found the exact pair I have been looking for! I really like the way they look except the crease down the front which I imagine that can be ironed out. I don't think thats a problem though. Unfortunately they didn't have a pair in my waist size that also had an extr...

Colby

Walmart has been such an annoyance lately. I just saw those pants maybe a month ago but I went back this weekend to pick up a pair and woosh! no pants! Mysteriously though a fresh set of the 1130 gloves with the patch on the palm showed up. After I found a very nice pair of gloves. I'm sure as soon ...

Same plans here.

Colby

Wow those look nearly identical! I may just pick up a pair of these today.

This is a 'sport' in Australia. Part of me wants to try it, but the other part of me likes all of my body parts just the way they are.

That is awesome.

Colby

I remember when I got my package it was on the back porch hidden from my view. So I expected it to be on the front porch when I got home. I looked around and checked the mailbox (we have a HUGE mailbox) for a package. Then I gave up and expected it to come in tomorrow. It wasn't until two hours late...

Colby

Ahh those are much nicer tapered sleeves than my bomber jackets. They had extreme taper. I think its just the way they were made. They would start out huge at one end near the shoulder and taper into a cloth and elastic cuff.

I like the look of the tapered wested sleeves.

Colby

$\:D/$ Excited about the pants! $\:D/$

Colby

If mine had them I would post pics of it but my old bomber jacket did. Although I think its a bad example since I don't know how the wested looks in comparison. I didn't like the tapered sleeves on my bomber though, it had the elastic cuffs and the sleeves were too short for me so it always rode up ...

Colby

Did you decide on having tapered sleeves on your jacket erri?

Colby

I believe so, the gloves had no brand names on them but they are large and had the brown binding just as Todds Costumes web page specified his Wells Lamont Customs had. I was pretty happy with the result of his tutorial. But one thing about it I would change if you want slightly better and more natu...

Colby

My goat does too in fact it did just about 20 min ago when I was leaving my campus for work so I zipped up my jacket raven bar style and kept walking.

Colby

What is wrong with the forum these past few days?

I can't edit my post above, and it seems that my post count doesn't go up either. Strange.

That gives me funny images of what he would do with that!

Colby

I remember someone on this board a while back was seriously considering it once! No I'm not that crazy, and the blood doesn't really show up at all without a flash. It's just there really so I'm satisfied.

Colby

The blood is actually more subtle that it appears in the picture. The flash kind of enhances it. It really looks like the blood dried there. It looks kind of fresh in the picture.

Colby

I got some updated pics with a better digital camera. I turned my right glove over so you could see my "gunshot arm grab" dried blood stain I made up on it.

Colby

I caught the Atlantis medallion too. :D (plus having COW on your computer screen :P ) The hat looks awesome! Your hats shaping does look slightly different from mine, but I believe thats due to the ways that beaver accepts bashes compared to rabbit. Mine won't accept a darn thing I do to it. It's li...

Colby

Oh yeah that is my only complaint about those boots. I don't want to cut them off though but just about every single time I stand up from sitting my pants are stuck on the little pull straps. I'm constantly checking them.

Colby

Although if I can figure out a way to try and make the ruggeds take on the same color as the Aldens do I would just be in pure joy. They do naturally distress really nicely and the tread is really nice too. One day I'll get a nice pair of aldens but until then I'll always be wearing my ruggeds. It c...

Colby

Oh don't get me wrong though I love the boots more than any shoe or boot I've ever owned in my life. :D I'm just saying if you want a decent Indy boot and only for an Indy boot you should most likely save your money for the real deal instead. I think I was a bit too vague and cold in my last post. :...

Colby

I'd have to say they are great boots but they aren't worth the $150+ in my opinion. If you can find them on sale then I say get a pair for now. If not save for aldens like Zach R. said.

Colby

I'm anxiously waiting for your finished product (or prototype) of Indy pants.

Colby

I got mine on the magical land of Ebay.

Colby

I personally love my J Crew Ruggeds and I wear them every day. I have the "distressed" version they made and not the oiled upper version. I actually wish I had gotten the oiled one now because I removed all the distressing from leather treatments anyway. You never notice the padded collar ...

Colby

My straps stick out the same way when I sit down with them for a long time (like driving) and they look like that when they bow backwards.

Colby

My england logo is underneath the inside pocket too and mine is brand new. I still haven't really gotten used to the backwards zipper yet.

Colby

The buttons are basically the same color as the shirt itself as far as I know.

Colby

Not real sure who I'm going to get my whip from. I'm not going to get a David Morgan just due to the price. I would opt for the IOAB but I wanted to push my money towards a 12 plait roohide whip this time around since my previous was 8 plait and latigo leather. If I don't manage to get enough money ...

Colby

Nothing better than natural distressing.

I can't really see myself distressing my new wested goat. It just looks too great to me to attack it with the old sandpaper and acetone. Although does anyone know if the shinyness of the goat naturally goes away with time?

Colby

Make sure you wear a hockey mask and some thick gloves before you open that box.

Colby

I'd hate to see the beaver when you open that box!

I hope he isn't hungry and in a bad mood. May need to stamp a few more Fragiles on that box!

Colby

I think the strands are too brittle. Its an old whip and has taken some serious use over the years. It's really only good for display right now.

Plus I am trying to save up for a good roohide 8 footer. I should be able to get one in a few weeks.

Colby

That whip looks almost identical to my old 10 footer. Unfortunately its now kind of destroyed after my sister got a hold of it. :evil: The fall has broken off and its made in a way it can't really be replaced.

Colby

Wow, I just tried doing what FLATHEAD said by turning the D rings around and it works perfectly! Looks better than the folding method too! Very nice.

Colby

I did the same thing you did Indiana Jerry. I adjusted the straps on my wested goat and it never went back the same again.

I have the straps in the "folding" technique now and they have held up well.

Colby

I noticed that about my jacket too. Looking at it now it looks light brown. But if I put it on and go into the next room it looks nearly black.

Colby

Oh yeah I forgot about those cufflinks. As soon as you have the dinner jacket ready to purchase I'll be getting ready to order!

Colby

When I wear my wested I can't notice the brown binding at all. Its all hidden in the sleeves anyway. And unless I'm punching a guy I don't think it will be visible much. So I may just leave it the way it is.

Colby

Hemingway Jones wrote:A TOD dinner jacket would be nice!

If you can make a decent priced dinner jacket like that you will be expecting an order from me soon! I may be broke afterwards (depending on price) but I'll be broke in style.

Colby

\:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ I got my wested in today! The tracking system that wested uses is very vague! By the way it read I thought it was being loaded on a truck in NY today. To my suprise I got home and there is a little plastic bag package! The package is much smaller than I imagined it. :lol: It...

Colby

I dunno I think I would get it modified to fit. Just because I hate my bomber jacket that does the same thing! :evil: It looks great on me if it wasn't all drooping down off my shoulders. But mine is much more severe than yours. Mine hangs like an inch over.

Colby

Is the holster you made yourself the basic holster with modifications? Or is it the deluxe holster? Also did you ask him to send it to you apart in the order form? Just curious so I can try this myself.

Colby

Hmm, if I did wear them in public all the time in winter and such I would probably make a slightly less distressed version so I don't go everywhere having filthy gloves on.

Colby

I had a gut feeling that replacing the binding would be a lot more complicated than I had originally thought. :? I'll still probably get my girlfriend to look at it and see if she is confident she can do it right. If she isn't then I'll tell her that she doesn't have to worry about it. She is as obs...
