The back of my gloves are always darker than my palms - I wipe my brow when I lift my lid to get some cool air up there with the back of my hand, not the palm. All the sweat and oils stain the back a nice dark colour compared to the palms.

I still have the tag from my tie I got from Noel. No address, sadly, but it does say "Royal Irish Poplin", referring to the fabric. Maybe Google it?

If a size 34 or 35 unhemmed is available, I'm good for a pair of trousers. Please send me a PM to let me know.

Thank you kindly.

A coupla' Webley holsters just went up at eBay, so you might be able to get that. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2172115089&category=13966 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2172115321&category=4074 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...

I humbly offer my Wested Goat for such a fine cause (provided it is returned after the demo)!

On the subject of socks, the following rhetorical question: Does one wear the same colour of socks everyday? I think not. I also think I am not that different than everyone else, excpet perhaps peole who wear a sort of uniform which requires a certain colour of sock. That having been said, I think i...

I've read several posts where many have indicated they've used Pecards or other products on their Aldens. A few questions: 1) Did you use the leather dressing or the motorcycle version? From what I've read in postings, the Pecard's leather dressing makes things heavier, so I though maybe the motorcy...

Is it just my imagination, or are only the top 2 lace entry points speed lace hooks? From the image, it appears the rest are eyelets, compared to my Aldens which have the top 4 lacing points being speed lace hooks.

Really awesome work - Maybe if I stare at these images long enough, I'll get enough gumption to throw caution to the wind on my Wested goat!

Looking forward to seeing the finished pix.

Why not just take an existing, off-the-shelf whisk brush and modify it, like so: [insert snazzy Photshop 'before' and 'after' image set here] #-o OK - can someone toss me a bone here? I jsut noticed on the FAQ I cannot directly load the image - if someone can host the image post, I'd appreciate it. ...

... the stiffness can be remedied by applying Pecards all the way around the whole holster. I would especially apply the Pecards inside the flap. My Keppler Holster was the same way, and it really loosened up with a couple of applications. -Sergei[/quote] Since starting to peruse this site, I unders...

Both jackets look great. Will he same technique woirk on the Wested goat version?

What are your opinions on the trousers for Raiders, TOD, and LC being creased?

Has anyone had success having existing creases removed from new Woolen NH/MBA trousers?

Would appreciate any thoughts (as if I had to ask).

Cheers.

Moules et Frites, cafe au lait, or Steak Frites, perchance?

Didn't show it, but a wondrous tale he wove, yessss..........

WOW!

That is one beauty of a piece! Very envious, I am indeed!

Agree with your sentiment as to keeping the patina as well, especially on a beaut like that!

Guess that really isn't the kind of thing you can show and tell at the Pub, eh?

2" is correct, based upon my discussions with Peter when I ordered mine.

Hi Indydawg, Thanks for the note on the LC jacket. As for whose jacket is it - good observation. I've also been toying with the idea of getting one a Raiders jacket, and hear the Flight Jackets is a good option. I guess when I'm gonna be swingin' my arms about dispatching baddies I could wear the Ra...

I've had my LC Wested (goat) for a while now, and wish it would age a bit faster. My question is this: When I ordered the jacket from Peter, he discussed that his design was the original, and the gussets were added on location by their costume people. Made sense, and I left it at that. Problem is, n...

Sergei,

It appears the soles of your brown Alden's are all leather, as opposed to the leather/synthetic sole they have now on the redtones.

Is that the case? Are there other visible differences as well?

-- Obi-wan and Only

The wait is until their new supplier is online and new production has started, most likely.

The extra $100 bucks is because you didn't say "pretty please"!

-- Obi-Wan and Only

Ditto.

Yes, just like that!

I'll see what he says and post it once I hear back.

Thanks for the pics.

-- Obi-Wan and Only

Sergei,

The photo is good for colour - do you have that photo of the old style from a front or top angle so I can document the lacing strip profile?

Thanks.

-- Obi-Wan and Only

I suppose I could ask, although he is not in their design department and I dunno how much contact or influence he has there. Will post here what, if anything, comes of it. Are there some pics you or others could send me since I would probably want to send them to him to better describe what we're ta...

I can't take credit for finding this resource; I think Lee was the one that posted it previously, but here is a great resource: http://adamsguns.com/0p.htm I did the transaction using a local dealer with a Federal Firearms License to receive the revolver (who charged a very agreeable and negligible ...

no problemo; I'll post as I get any new info.

-- Obi-Wan and Only

Done, and Done.

I'll be certain to post pics when I get it back!

-- Obi-wan and Only

Just to let you all know the following. A friend of mine works for Alden. I was #####' and moanin' as usual about the reddish tone to the 405, and he said it was potentially a thing of the past. "Too much fan boy rage?", I taunted. Apparently not. The leather supplier for the 405 has gone ...

Apologies to the Baord! My window kept indicating the message was not sent. Each time, I selected "Stop", and then clicked "post".

Lesson learned, guys!

Hello, This is my first post (although I've been an Indy fan since the first Snowcapped mountaintop shot way back when) - anywho, enough babbling... SO, I just got my Mark II Hand Ejector .455! I am very psyched. My thanks to all you for the advice and direction, especially Lee and MK! I take it fro...
