These hats almost look like they've been turned, going by the bow placement, but without the brim warping. I wonder if it's possible to give the hat more of a raiders turn without having the bow being ridiculously far forward... Yeah I've tried it...but the bow would pretty much be above my eyes LO...

excellent shots mitch! I actually just got mine a couple days ago...very pleased as well!

hey indyclone, do you own a christy's adventurer? just wanted to compare that with the raider...

Todd's jacket!

VERY nice. VERRRY NICE

I recently got a Christys in black. I am quite unhappy with it (maybe I'm spoiled by my Henry) not only does the felt become easily warped, but the sweatband is very thick and stiff and digs into my forehead leaving a line and stitch marks. It's pretty unconfortable to wear and the ribbon stitching...

I've got to say, tis' a good jacket. And it's far from being a costume.

LOL thanks for the compliments

!! Because of that, I'll be posting more pictures of my jacket haha

ajocampo

What does that jacket feel like? I gues it feels like a heavy shirt?

ajocampo

wow that looks pretty good! how's the taper on it? is it holding up well?

ajocampo

whoa, it looks so different without the liner...

ahh yes...your Christy has gone through many trials

From the salt on the beach, to the re-blocks it has gone through.

ajocampo

Sorry to hear that, but happy birthday! I think I read somehwere that the order for a new stock of jackets has been processed and is in the works. So I guess it wont be long!

ajocampo

that looks like a Christy, but the ribbon doesn't match...it also has a more 'boxy-er' look than that of a Christy. So I'm assuming it's not a Christy. However, I'm going to guess that it is an HJ.

ajocampo

Ajocampo, what color are yours? they look pretty dark in those pics. Yeah they are darker than usual in the pictures...the color of my Iron Rangers is called "Amber Harness" it's color model 8111 of the Iron Ranger. They're much lighter in person though. They offer it in 3 others colors, ...

HDRnR was looking for 2E in another boot. The beckman moc toe I believe, not the iron ranger. Thanks for the heads up though Oops, my bad! :anxious: no problem! :TOH: Yes, although I like the Iron Rangers also. They probably give a bit more toe protection compared to the moc toe. Some people say Ir...

Yeah I second that...They're a big comany too...they've got stores all around the U.S.
It beats me

ajocampo

Agreed, very Indy indeed ;) Regarding the widths, they might not offer the wide width for the boot you want. I took a look at their official website and the sizes provided for that boot are only in D. I think they only offer wide widths for certain boots, such as the Iron Ranger. You could try to gi...

ajocampo

Does redwing make wide sizes ? I've never seen them. Yes Red Wing do make wide sizes. Specifically for the Iron Ranger, they come in 2 widths: D and EE (2E). D=normal width EE=double wide. It is rare, though, to find 2E widths for the iron ranger. Why? I have no idea because I've tried on the D wid...

ajocampo

Thanks. So you're walking on the logo, right? I have no problem with that. But I prefer my leather shoes to have clean lines, unhindered by advertising. ;) That's a better way to say it LOL. Yes, I am literally walking on the logo. I, too, personally like my leather upper clean of any logos and wha...

ajocampo

Tekors, that's my kinda of adventure. Heat and sand. LOL

ajocampo

Do the Red Wings have an embossed logo on the outside of the shoe? I seem to remember that they did at one time or another. This always detracted from them, IMO. But I do like the look of these boots. The only logo that appears on the outside of the entire shoe is the heel part of the undersole. Ot...

ajocampo

Regardless of felt color there are plenty of better looking hats out there at or below that price point. The description says it ships open crowned, but who bashed that thing for the site pictures? :-0 And you can actually see the sweatband stitching in the front. #-o Regards, Indiana Jeff I second...

Did you decide yet if you're gonna get these or are you getting the other one you were talking about earlier?

here's my iron ranger

ajocampo

That 'fine' felt they are talking about...is it made from beaver?

ajocampo

Just got my Iron Rangers about a week ago. Long story short, waited over a month. The store screwed up the order or something. Took matters in my own hands. Got the boots.
Indiana Jones baby.

P.S. I shall post some pictures soon

ajocampo

oh... that's alright then. It's not that high as I was expecting. It's a really good jacket IMO. Especially if you live in a hot country, then this is a good jacket that won't make you feel like you're in a sauna. But yeah, it just sits right below the belt line. If you raise up your hands and what...

ajocampo

(i.e. the jacket is styled so that it sits just below the belt line etc...unlike other jackets which go further below the belt line). Even I am still getting used to my jacket because I usually wear jackets that go well below the belt line. Yeah. That's one of my other hang-ups on getting an Indy-s...

I figured it out with a phone call to my credit union. Apparently my crummy bank does not alllow transactions outside he United States on my debit card. Laaaaaaaaaame.

ajocampo, What size is that? What's your height and weight? I'm having a hard time deciding what size to get. I'm around 5'5" - 5'6" and 160-170lbs (still dunno why I'm that heavy, though...). In terms of measurement, I am exactly in between a Small and Medium. Hey fenris, I got a size Me...

much thanks for the compliments!

some quick snaps of my todd's standard

Just got my jacket yesterday afternoon. Aside from the customs I had to pay, everything went well. The jacket arrived in 13 days - California to Toronto, Canada. A couple of points, the jacket is just awesome. It truly 'sits' like a raiders jacket. I've tried it on with a sweater and it fits perfect...

Are you sure your hat didn't shrink of a size or more? Brim distorsions are often caused by undersized hats (especially if the brim looks normal when laying on a shelf), it's the typical situation you get after wetting a Christy's badly. I'm 100% positive it's because he 1) has a bigger head than m...

ajocampo

I own a Todds custom from the days when he offered them, now I didn't saturate it with water, the sleeves kinda lost something in length. I'm in the process of trying to strech the leather. But I'm curious, his site charges for shipping, yet the ebay store does not. Question: is there a difference ...

ajocampo

Yeah I went hiking one time in the summer with my Christy. When ever I took of my hat, I can feel the cool breeze on my head. And by the way, it was around 34 degrees Celcius, humid, and no wind. LOL

ajocampo

I remember I let my friend try on the hat, and everytime he did, the brim warped like crazy. I found out that he has a very, very wide head, which caused the brim to look wavy.

ajocampo

I know it eventaully boils down to personal taste and opinion but, as has been stated before by others, I feel in no way that Todd`s feels like a "costume" jacket. I think that idea mostly erupts from the fact of how light weight it is from most other jackets. But again...it is suppose to...

I agree, just mixed in with a raiders turn

ajocampo

Well Fenris, judging from those pictures, your Christy has ALOT of character built into it now. Comparing what you have been saying about your hat and what it looks like, at least in the pictures, it doesn't seem all that bad. Again that's only through the pictures, and you are the best judge of the...

He said SA though, which I believe would exclude Magnoli AND Todd's. indyclone, that's it. I'm now 100% sure that you either ARE Todd Coyle's alter ego, or you are an employee of his. :) David, I'm not quite sure where you are located (you didn't put it in your profile), but if you are on the left ...

ajocampo

I just have to add, even though the Christy's adventurer is more on the low end of the hats, I've realized since the day I bought my Christy, it's been looking a lot better, especially regarding the brim shape, IMO. Thing is, I recently just got fed up with the way it's shaped and just started 'vigo...

There's nothing better than being surprised by something in the mail that you've been wanting and waiting for! That lid looks awesome, Tremolo. I'm hoping to get one in the future

I guess we're talking abou sizes above medium that are out of stock? Because my medium is on the way

ajocampo

Anyone know tailoring in Toronto that handles leather jackets? lol

ajocampo

I realize that many of you probably get your jackets cut 'just so' , but occasionally you may come across a find like I did-a custom Todd's that is a great fit in all ways, except the previous owner was 6' 4". In this case you get a jacket with great length, a nice fitting chest with some give...

ajocampo

the reason why your hat became stiff is because of the steam. Since you mentioned steam, that is always a dead give-away. Steam reactivates stiffener in felt. It's like switching a light switch. The only weird thing was, it became stiff even before I steamed it. After coming from a 4-day vacation t...
