Took possession of my new 8 ft Crease-n-crusader whip today. Was also fortunate enough to shake hands with Mr. Damrel and speak with him in person for a short while. Very nice, courteous fellow. It is some beautiful work, and I can scarcely see how he sells them for this price. If you have been thin...

Very cool opportunity, John! That type of recognition is definitely a result of your hard work.

Really like the hats.
What color felt are those?

Great looking Penman hat there Daren!
Sort of making me re-think my choice of felt color for my next purchase.

Great choice! Suits you.

Earlier this week, I returned home to find a box from Oregon just inside the door. Opening the cardboard shipping box revealed one of the nicest hat boxes I have seen... and inside that... Another amazing Crystal Skull. http://cadenceduckcalls.com/penskullfront.jpg http://cadenceduckcalls.com/penman...

I'll go against the grain a little and say the CS jacket.

For much the same reason that Michaelson so eloquently stated.

Great hat Nebraska!

Just a couple months from getting my Crystal Skull hat from John, and already thinking I should order the CS Travel now.

Great looking hat!

Great looking Skull fedora, wwhisko!

I recently got a pair of 403s, due in part to this review...

They were ordered true to my real size and I am well pleased with the fit.
Very comfortable from the beginning, no real 'break-in period' was needed.

Hope that helps.

That Expedition looks like an amazing jacket!
Your review sure makes me want to buy one...

Enjoy it, it's a nice one!

Yes, they are 403's... I just edited my post to say that.

Always wondered the same thing about the movie.

So recently I began to accumulate the things that appealed most to me... hat, jacket, boots. My first purchase was a Penman fedora. Not yet made of course, but on order none the less. Next was a USWings Cowhide Legend. Really digging that jacket. And now these: http://cadenceduckcalls.com/aldens.jpg...

Great looking jacket! Enjoy!

Great jackets!

Like the SL Legend... but that AC Hero is really something.

great jacket!

Good read! Congrats John!

(Glad I got my order in when I did!)

Great looking jacket!

Thanks for the comments folks!

tekors-
Yes, that is how the jacket came. I'm planning to let it distress as worn. (I can tear up an anvil with a rubber hammer.)

Weston-
I was pleasantly surprised that the cowhide was a dark color. Really liking it.

The jacket has arrived... on the WARMEST day so far this year of course. Whoever decided Jones should wear one in the desert was crazy! I called USWings and spoke with them about sizing. I'm 6ft, 195, and have a 45" chest.... sort of borderline between L and XL... so with some concern I opted f...

Great looking jacket!

I have a Legend jacket on the way. Hope to have a pic to show soon and that it looks as nice.
