On my Facebook newsfeed today I got an ad for a brand new Wested shirt. Supposedly they’ve adjusted the color and the buttons. Does anyone have experience with the brand new Wested leather company 2020 Indiana Jones shirt? I’d like to know how it compares to all the others that we already know and l...

Cabela’s stopped making their safari line when BassPro bought them. A real bummer, because I loved those shirts. No wonder I couldn’t find them! That’s such a bummer... -KB :( And, sadly, LL Bean appears to be phasing out their very nice poplin field shirt, which came in a great close-enough color,...

These shirts are going to be made in house, in the USA. Maybe the only Indy shirt to be so :). The only Indy shirt I've ever LOVED was my Todd's, because the material wasn't dressy. If this was a custom shirt, I might sign up for it, otherwise my long torso and long arms don't need another OTR shir...

Well, the first major problem with my S&J Raiders. The leather actually ripped apart down by the side seam. Around 3 inches from the bottom of the jacket underneath where the side straps are on the main side seam of the jacket. I am taking it in to my alterations place to see if they can do a f...

Just a quick note of artificial distressing/aging of leather. I have tried most of the traditional methods. I even had pretty good results wacking a jacket onto a cement sidewalk. But this time I tried something new. The jacket in question isn't Indy but the results would be the same. Rather than sa...

It's here! It's HERE! :D My S & J 38 just arrived. What a Work of Art! I feel like it should be put on display as a prop...but, no, I will wear it. The horsehide is fantastic. Its a light as any lamb I've worn but not as delicate, and the distressing is not only accurate, but looks realistic. Na...

Looks great. I’m shopping for my first last Crusade jacket. I still haven’t seen this on their website.

After nearly a month in transit my new S&J jacket arrived this week! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4546/27101171279_35faaf6615_c.jpg That jacket looks fantastic. I love the leather and the saddle distressing. Just looking at you in the picture, since you are into cosplay and all, I would like ...

He was apprenticed by Morgan and knows his stuff. But be prepared to pay top dollar and wait a lot longer than his quote.

I love my 8 foot Del Carpio and never had a problem with it. Dealing with Bernardo is an absolute joy as well and really treated me as more of a friend than just a customer. Here is my 8 foot Del with my 10 foot Morgan. Only the length of the handle gives it away. https://s7.postimg.org/4lui6lbyz/b...

Found this thread and searched this group today. No results. Is this still a thing?

RayROnline

So here I am looking through these older posts because I am now considering on as well, and I couldn't help but notise the last post says " I'll post pics..."

WELL???

And you should have had enough time for an opinion or two also...please?

RayROnline

You guys that REALLY know your cracking and your whips, this one is for you. :whip: What whip would you buy today that matches the quality and usability of the classic David Morgan or Joe Strain? I don't have much experience, and I believe my 8' roo Raiders style (maker withheld for sake of impartia...

I keep mine in Adventurebilt style hat boxes from http://www.sarahshatboxes.com/results.asp?Category=Hat%20Boxes#sthash.S6WHPv96.dpbs except for 1 which I wear from time to time which stays on my Indy display. and you did mention pictures, so http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/shootermcgavin_01...

Last year I ordered a custom Wested...not an Indy jacket, but the very close A-2. I sent Detailed instructions, one of which was the placing of the New Old Stock (rare) WWII AAF decal on the left sleeve. Since I had 2, I sent both in case they messed one up. I got the jacket with BOTH decals SEWN ON...

RayROnline

Agreed...Steele & Jones for Extreme customer service, Bespoke fit, perfect dimensions subtly adjusted to your body style. You won't be sorry.

RayROnline

I would think Steele & Jones could give you anything you ask for.

I think US customs wanted to keep it, but after nearly a month in their hands, they released my HJ replica Explorador 36 SC style and I LOVE it. It really comes to life when it is put on with the turn action. This is literally right out of the box (and still has some box dust on it). but I want to s...

I would sure appreciate some of you guys suggestions and recommendations on where you prefer to buy Fullers earth and any details like color that I should look for

RayROnline

Wested has changed the tint of their shirts it appears. I bought one as part of a combo deal several years ago and it was greenish/khaki. This is a nice version. Pockets on the large side. I posted new pictures of the shirt in better light. I'm used to the grey/stone color but I know some scenes ap...

RayROnline

Thanks for the review.

I have 1, 2nd hand, said to be about 3 years old. Fits great, I love the light weight material and the way it hangs. The color is fine with me. I'd like another, but no one has posted one in the Bazaar for some time.

A couple of days ago, my mother called and said," You got a package in but it is really beaten up. I hope it isn`t a hat cuz it is gonna be in serious trouble!" I was expecting my new Steele & Jones Herbert Johnson Streets of Cairo Replica some time this week and knew this was it! I r...

RayROnline

Did I just miss it, or did no one mention that Steel & Jones does a killer HJ replica?

And, while not inexpensive, it is reasonable in price and extremely well made by hand.

I have nothing from you. Not spam, not junk, nothing. I just emailed you (odo) what I last heard from Diego. You should be able to reply on that account. I also added you as a preferred sender.

So recently bought a Wested pair of Indy trousers as I heard there was a new more SA pattern. I really like them.

Yup Jeremiah got the chance to check out my HJ replica from Steele n Jones. I absolutely love this hat. I never added any extra stiffner. It might have felt a little stiff compared to his Penman but I found it reasonably soft and supple compared to hats from other vendors. Over the years it has sof...

RayROnline

If you have the chance, go for a Penman, any Penman. I already have a S&J HJ, an Adventurebilt and a Penman ABL Raiders and the Penman is the best by far. From left to right S&J, Penman ABL Raiders and Adventurebilt: http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/4213/medium/IMG_62732.jpg htt...

It's strange..when I wear the Fedora, it looks much better. I don't know, what are your opinion? Should it be more curved on the front part of the brim? :TOH: (I remember it having the same curvature as the one pictured in my last post when it first arrived from you). http://img687.imageshack.us/im...

Nice collection. I'm surprised I don't see one Todds or the amazing Steele and Jones jacket Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk I have both pictured but the photo quality is not that great....... HAHA, so you do! That's what I get for looking on my phone and not the computer screen :notworthy:

I am also anxious to see these. The pockets do look frighteningly wide in back, other than that I like =) Let's hope that pic is deceptive.

This is excellent info, thank you. I most likely will stay budget minded with a hat since I've no clue if it will get worn outside of fun. However, I really the idea of a nice hat, so I sort of hope it sticks. I'm fairly proportionate in stature, 5'9" 155 @ 38-39" chest 32" waist, so...

I want to post this thanks to Wade for making good on the old outstanding transaction just as promised. Much appreciated!

Another heads-up: Just talked to Wade and he's received very few e-mails about old pending orders. He has no way of knowing how many there were, but from memory he thought there were more than those who have contacted him already. So, if you're waiting for something, shoot him a message: adventurel...

If I didn't know better, I'd say it almost looks homemade. The turnbuckle is a standard piece of hardware from any big box, and the wood piece look partially hand carved. Dalexs It does.
