G&B Sizing

Hi there. Been many years since I've posted here - about 10-12 years ago I bought a lamb Raiders Wested from @Ken. I still have it! It was my constant companion in High School. It is tagged a Size 38. Since then my weight has changed a lot and I'm probably 20 lbs under where I was in High School, ma...

Ahhh!! Wested Tear!

Today, in the hall at school I did a little roughhousing with my friend, Lance. At one point, he grabbed my Wested Lamb and we heard a loud RIP noise, and at that point I knew the sleeve was torn. This is the same jacket that belonged to Indy Ken and he beautifully distressed. I'm afraid it's a litt...

Do I have to bleach them or something first to get the olive color out, or should I just do it like it is?

Oop. One more thing if you would(hopefully). Did you inquire as to the origin of the grey felt bodies? The color Indy has, the dark grey with a hint of brown is really unique. If they sold that body too, that would be really grey-t (ha ha).

Perhaps i'm a little foggy on the entire concept of taper all together, but what exactly is reverse taper? I saw ITG refer to it as a good thing with her new Keppler, but I didn't quite understand what it meant.

Darn the downtime, had to go and re-register my account.
