Will do, thanks!!

Hi all, has anyone found a source of SA shirt buttons? I've just received a couple new shirts through the mail and although the quality is superb, the buttons are not SA. I'm also looking to make a number of shirts and need the right buttons to finish the job!

indyexpat

You're both right!! I love my Wested. I'll pop in, get measured properly and order again. Pics to follow..

indyexpat

Wested arrived, oh my what a jacket! My first, not my last. Gorgeous soft leather and measurements pretty good seeing as I eyeballed it. Will base next order on a few edits, narrow the shoulders an inch and length an inch and perfect. Buy Wested!! Also arrived super fast (I li e an hour from them). ...

42" Wested arrived, pics to follow.

indyexpat

Good points.. Wested enroute, will share photos soon.

Hi all, I've ordered a couple of jackets and struggle to measure myself in such a way that it translates effectively to an Indy jacket pattern. I have a Todd size large and for my particular body shape (not the jackets fault), it's the worst fitting jacket I've ever owned. If I measure the jacket an...

indyexpat

Todd and Magnoli aside, these are very inviting even at this price..

indyexpat

Thanks for sharing the pic! I believe Wested to twill pants too, not seen any yet..

indyexpat

Considering Todd volumes are in decline, any thoughts on best cut/style pants still available in authentic fabric?

indyexpat

What is this NH shirt you speak of? Love my Todd shirts even the older pinker colour. They're well cut and well made. Ordered a couple new ones recently. WPG measurements look off to me though I don't have one. They look enormous and I visualise wearing a tent. I'm 5'7" and solidly built so shi...

indyexpat

I love them though they came up a snug fit on me so if a little unsure, try a half size bigger. They take a while to break in and the soles are pretty solid so they're like wearing Dutch wooden clogs initially. They are well made, made to last and well worth the money. Request extra laces.. I snappe...

indyexpat

Look great!! What's pants are they?

indyexpat

I used to use the mark VII bags years ago when I worked in forestry and they were indestructible especially when treated. I didn't like smelly hands from the metal strap ends or how easily everything fell out when thrown in the back of a pickup. It was a workhorse.. Now I use notepads and accessorie...

indyexpat

I agree. I've started to build my wardrobe around my favourite pieces to be worn in all scenarios hence my stress over Todd's pants. Wested is a similar fabric and there's always magnoli. Mag boots also look pretty good.

indyexpat

Rats.. Just ordered shirts and pants in my size were available. I'll have to pay postage twice. Magnoli boots look pretty good. Wested pants are similar fabric. Few options remain..

backstagejack wrote:It comes down to paying for them. It's a small niche market, that a businessman can't afford to pay for 1000 pairs of boots if he's only going to sell 200 pairs. I think that's why Todd's is no longer offering the pants or boots.

Sad but true.

What, no more Todd pants either?? D:

indyexpat

I enquired about another pair for a size currently out of stock and am advised there is no plan to reorder. Any suggestions? Magnoli boots available? Others?

Alden's are just overpriced in my opinion.

indyexpat

So If I am ordering a BK Relic Hunter in 40R (which was the reported size of HF in Raiders); the standard sleeve size for this said to be "Size 40 has a sleeve length of 25 1/2". Does that match the SA version of the jacket? The Straited Lamb is supposedly as spot on as possible for the m...

indyexpat

I've heard the pockets are different now, what's happened and what's to be done? I'm about to order a Wested..

Do you have a pocket picture to compare/discuss?

indyexpat

I got my Garrison totally soaked in the Moore tornadoes last year. You'd never know it to look at it.................. Ok I confess mine got soaked last year and I've been too nervous to use it since your post. I have now and it looks perfect. Maintaining the shape is my concern.. Anyone interested...

indyexpat

I do treat my hats with a water repellent. Let it get wet. If it gets soaked, use good practice. Push out the bashing and let it air dry on a hat stand. Put the bashes back in and go on about your business. A flight in an open cockpit plane does the trick, too. ;) :TOH: I meant to ask you if you're...

indyexpat

I also don't like the open pleats at the back making the whole jacket feel a bit costumy for me. Aren't open pleats SA? You are quite right. My observations are based on my physique in a Todd's jacket compared to others I've seen. The Kelso is open but has an internal flap/adjustment area that look...

indyexpat

Hi guys, in waiting to get my Kelso I decided I also want a Wested. As you know Wested can accommodate almost any variation of finish for any of the movies. Ultimately I'm looking for a jacket to do everything in for comfort and daily use. Regardless of movie, anyone recommend a Wested you particula...

indyexpat

I've decided to get a wested hero too. Are they fitted? I'm tight in the chest at 42".

Leather choices?

indyexpat

Great feedback guys thanks. I started with a Todd's only it seemed quite short and tight in the arms (I'm pretty thick set) and it arrived with a crimped collar that's permanently put me off. I also don't like the open pleats at the back making the whole jacket feel a bit costumy for me. I do love T...

indyexpat

Hi guys, not posted in here for a while mainly as I've had many bills to pay before my good lady agreed I can get my dream jacket. That time has come and a Kelso is what I want. They can accommodate almost any hide and variation. Has anyone a Kelso jacket for recommendations? Striated or grainey lam...

Thanks guys

Persistent rain and you have your beloved Garrison raiders to hand. What do you do?

indyexpat

Hi all, I can't find links for What Price Glory or Azuma shirts, some of the pages I had before don't open. Can these still be obtained? URLs most welcome.

indyexpat

These posts update so quickly and though the same questions get asked over and over, I'm grateful that they're answered as I'd never heard about the WPG shirts before. They look great and come in numerous sizes. I've had Todd shirts before and they're great though I have the original colour. Has any...

indyexpat

Thank you, I will use warm water and plastic bags and post the results!

indyexpat

Hi guys, I have a pair of todds boots I wear for special occasions only, mainly because they are a long-lasting, hard wearing boot and tough for my 'retired from country life' feet to break in. I was thinking of the plastic bags on the feet and soaking them to fit method. I don't want to damage them...

indyexpat

I adore my garrison so much that I hardly wear it. I'm at a vintage weekend with it and there's a little rain. Is it best kept in the box? If you wear yours rain or shine is there anything you do to maintain or look after your beloved fedora?

indyexpat

This is a massive gun & military collectable show in KY. Hopefully I'll locate one. If not I'll just continue my search. Gailen I think you could take orders for half the forum!! They used to be everywhere 10 years back in the UK until laws changed and they vanished. You used to be able to buy ...

indyexpat

I am very impressed with the Todd trousers, material, cut and attention to authenticity. Mine didn't fit me initially but thats me not the pants. There is plenty of fabric for adjustments and well priced. Todd does a great job generally I'm pleased to say. The best pants and boots in my opinion. Lov...

indyexpat

Kelso relic? I am very intrigued, where can I get one?

indyexpat

Honestly; I just want a great jacket to wear daily. $50 or $1,000..

indyexpat

I kept the title similar to keep with the theme. I'll retitle it I need a jacket I don't want it locked!

indyexpat

Following suggestions from Michaelson, I thought to start a new thread. Does anyone have multiple Indy jackets to comment on? I am literally crying out for a jacket and have read a fair bit about goat being popular. There are so many varieties so many options. I've looked at Novak (no longer availab...

indyexpat

Hi flathead, do you have any pictures? I am literally crying out for a jacket and have read a fair bit about the goat. There are so many varieties so many options. I've looked at Novak, Todd (2012), Magnoli and Wested and Wings. The truth, my Todd just doesn't sit right on me. The collar is tight ro...

indyexpat

Thanks guys, two great links to refer to. I'm going for the magnoli suit and panto glasses. Need to confirm the shoes and Princeton Fedora colour.

indyexpat

You wear it well! I still can't find a jacket I love.. budget isn't the problem its supply!

indyexpat

Hi guys

Does anyone know where I can get the Princeton shirt?

So many sources, so much work.. which is the best shirt? Love my Todd but colour wrong.. Magnoli?..

indyexpat

Thanks!!

Has anyone done any research into the Raiders Professor of Archaeology outfit? It's a great 1930's suit, something I'd like to obtain. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qOIVgGTmG6M/T1pVBdh9DaI/AAAAAAAABBo/U0BBJwKFVwI/s1600/doctor%2Bjones.jpg I do however know where to get these exact glasses from, only I'm ...

indyexpat

Incredibly useful information, thank you guys. I've just been to a vintage event too, lots of hats needing care and attention. Prompts the question - anyone here repair hats? Lining.. headband.. ribbon..

Also is the direction of brushing a hat the same on all hats?
