You could be on to something. AFAIK both barrels on the Smith and Wesson's were the same size but he also uses a Browning HP. I always assumed be just had the one size holster.

Has any of the current shirt offerings matched the fabric of the original exactly?

I think it's been generally accepted that NH used the same fabric as the originals

Has anyone noticed that the fabric doesn't seem to be the same as the NH/MBA?

I don't know if I've read this around somewhere, but I believe Magnoli's LC jackets are modeled after the Smithsonian jacket. I've never seen a Magnoli LC jacket I haven't like, especially since he uses a lambskin that distresses just like the LC jacket, so my vote is Magnoli. Search for Holt's thre...

http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/GrayBrownHats_zpsgiwstw94.jpg In my opinion, when the hats are directly compared next to each other, it seems as though the ribbon on the Clipper is slightly wider. I think the Clipper ribbon is 42mm compared to the ~39mm of the Hero fedoras. I kn...

Here's my LC. After 3 previous jackets, I finally got the jacket I see in the movie http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/knibs7/f1b24aaf-e388-4833-ae4d-e7179c1f7031_zps82b7bb46.jpg Knibs, if you would have said that jacket was the screen used one or the Smithsonian jacket, I'd believe you. That...

Azuma,

Any update of the new Raiders shirts?

-Adrian

indydude18

Azuma,

Yes, I have one from the 1st run and it rocks. Only wish the epaulettes were a tad bit longer.

Such as this:

Will this pattern have the epaulette extending past the shirt pleat?

indydude18

I'm sorry but please show me why? We already know that the TOD was the poet for sure as was the LC except for the couple of Stetsons in TOD. Besides all that the question was is the Raiders and by no means is it. John, how do we know that the Poet was used for in ToD for sure? If there is no docume...

I'd have to disagree with you there John, I think the Grosvenor is THE model used in ToD.

indydude18

You guys are in the ballpark! I personally feel that the Grosvenor model was used, but in ToD. Here are the photos fifthchamber was referring too. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/1984%20Poet%20-%20Sable/IMG_5473_zpsc794fe11.jpg http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/...

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a screen-used ROTLA holster before, all I've seen of the holster was off of the film. :-k I know there's a black and white photo somewhere around here that shows Ford leaning against a wall and you get a great view of his holster. AB got the holster spot on ...

Beautiful jacket!

I agree, I love this type of leather. My TNO is just like yours, super light weight and very very flexible.

indydude18

Now I THINK, but I'm not sure that this is a Raiders-era HJ that was blocked on a Raiders block or something similar. I've had this for a few months now, but it's been sitting in a box because I've been so busy. The block shape and ribbon look Raider-ish, and it has the correct address but I really ...

indydude18

Wow Christian, that looks marvelous! Is that custom sized or HF sized?

indydude18

Lee eventually got the shirt and pants made from a guy named "Ralph", who apparently was the original tailor for RAIDERS. As I recall, I had to wait about two years for mine. I still have them, but of course they no longer fit after so many years. I also still have his original flyers and...

indydude18

To me, that looks like my Magonli HJ so I'm going to go with that!

They should! They're made of the same material the film pants were.

Hey there guys! I was able to get my hands on a super old Harley Davidson biker jacket in a Dino-Hide lambskin. Is there any possible way to make the leather less pronounced or get the Dino-Hide to be less exaggerated? Two methods I've been thinking of: 1. Repeated leather conditioning 2. "Iron...

indydude18

Very nice! They did a very good job duplicating the shirt!

indydude18

SA or not, that is one cool looking piece of gear!

They look like they have been on quite a few adventures!

Any idea what their age is?

indydude18

Okay, in that case let me rephrase my question: Are NH's holsters designed from a screen-used model (ala NH screen-used shirt, trousers, jacket, etc.) or were they modeled from what he saw on screen/memory?

indydude18

Here are photos of the screen-used items Noel had before his passing. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/NHGearthisone.jpg http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/NHgear1.jpg And here is a photo of my NH holsters: http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/DSC05...

indydude18

Really? I was under the impression that the Sparks jacket had narrow, straightish pocket flaps like the other early Westeds. Didn't we see it here? This one has scolloped, deep flaps with an almost Last Crusade look. Yes, I agree it isn't terribly SA, but the leather is so thin and soft so it's per...

indydude18

I just received 3 Noel Howard/M.B.A. holsters that are in great condition. I had seem some pictures of a display down in the UK that showed Noel's screen-used jacket, shirt, trousers and Alden boots. I also remember seeing a Raiders holster and gun-belt in the picture. Does anyone here know if the g...

Just thought you guys would like to know what the copy of Sparks old Leather Concessionaires jacket looks like.

Wow, these look incredible! VERY nicely done, Azuma!

I'm in!

indydude18

Nice strap, but the screen used one has more of a "bulge" between the buckle Kyle Kyle, That could be because: 1. The strap in the above screen-cap was just a little loose in the buckle area 2. The strap leather was thicker. EDIT: I just checked, I have a NH bagstrap with Wade's buckle th...

indydude18

Just thought you guys would like to see this. I bought this off eBay recently trying to get a close color to the HJ Clipper but I think it may be too dark. Does anyone here own a Vintage HJ Clipper? Do any of the hat experts know how to date this HJ? I can never seem to date a HJ from the 30 New Bon...

lantzn, that's my fault. I took these photos indoors with bad lighting. The shirt is actually identical in color to a NH Raiders shirt.

indydude18

I still think Azuma's ToD takes the pie, but I thought it would be fun to compare Noel Howard's version. Noel's is totally SA, except a few details of course. Anyone have an Azuma ToD that you guys could post a picture of? ;) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/DSC04765-1-1.jpg Full ...

The pocket flaps look SA enough and so do the angled seams above the back pockets, but IIRC, their reproductions do not have pleats. WPG's shirt is very SA, great color, great construction and great material. I would highly recommend picking one up! :tup: And if you don't mind, can you pick one up f...

Is it too late to add on here? :D This is my TN that I received from TheExit148! I think it's about 2 years old now since he got it from Tony. It's pretty much ~1:1 HF sizing and I love this baby to death! http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k530/indydude18/DSC04538.jpg http://i1114.photobucket.com/...

lantzn, was there any mention of removing dye from buttons? I think I found a couple that are the correct size and shape, they're just too dark IMO.
