Looks pretty good in those photos.

Nice Job!

I have had and still have a few whips... I love my Joe Strain though, the color and his particular feel in the whip make it one of my favorites.

Indycraze71

I like em' all myself bullwhips are just plain cool. Since I have to pick one though I like the TOD whip because I like the rugged red and dark browns that show up in it's color in the photos from the film... just the artist in me I think.

Indycraze71

Fantastic!... I might need to add another whip to my collection after viewing those pics. Great job!

Perfecto-mundo!!!

If only I did as good of a job on my first Fed. Looks great! Wear it with pride.

Indycraze71

I'll do my best to get some pics up soon I promise. :wink: I love this new AB it really captures the feel and character of the SOC scene for me. Steve's suggestion for the wider brim made it even better. My other AB is the one you can see in my avatar. I don't recall ever seeing bad looking AB on an...

Indycraze71

Just wanted to drop a note that I received my SOC AB from Steve a couple of days ago. As always he did a fantastic job I've been wearing it right out of the box with hardly any modifications done on my own to it. The hat looks great! Steve's attention to detail is right-on. The differences in the 2 ...

He turned my old Akubra into one of my favorite hats

Drop him a line.

Indycraze71

I would recommend to just ordering it directly from Joe himself...He was great to talk too and will answer any questions that you may have.

Indycraze71

Pandora... lookin' good!

Indycraze71

Wow... lookin' good guys and gals. Strider I think your hat looks good in both styles. Are you wearing it in the LC bash then switching to ROTLA or were ya just foolin' about and always wear it Raiders style? I like that brim treatment you have in the LC mode. Erri you should keep that lid it looks ...

Indycraze71

It's always fun to see a new AB on a happy gear-head's noggin'. Congrats on the new lid and thanks for sharing. Looks great!

Indycraze71

My Strain is the saddle tan color...it's really a beautiful color too.

Indycraze71

I have a row of hooks in my closet along the top by the ceiling and thats where I hang my hats.

Indycraze71

Welcome! That is one fine and dandy lookin' Indy whip. I like the comparison photos you provided as well very accurate.

Indycraze71

Lucky find on the Pecards and it looks like your putting it to good use. That jackets gonna look real good when your done with it I think. Good job!

Indycraze71

I dunno if you wanna mess up all that good looking gear you have though Erri

Hijacking a truck full of bad guys will defintely cause some natural distressing of your gear and hat!

Indycraze71

Yes Erri Wan that's exactly what would happen ... of course you would have to fight under a plane with a big dude and hijack a truck full of nazis before you went to Cairo to slug it out in the market place. However if you done it all correctly you should have no problem turning your Raven Bar hat i...

Indycraze71

Lookin' good gentlemen, lets keep up the good work! Boy do I enjoy checkin' out everyone's hats!!!

Indycraze71

The jacket looks awesome!

I'm a Wested owner myself , but I think I may have to add an Expedition to my closet soon! Very nice jacket indeed... wear it well and often!

Indycraze71

When I tell some people who ask that my jacket is an Indiana Jones jacket I sometimes get the reply that it looks to nice to be an Indy jacket! :shock: That being said you definitely have more courage than I do when it comes to distressing your jacket. Initally I was shocked at your photos, but now ...

Indycraze71

That ribbon looks great...that is one awesome lookin' at too!!! I love that brim!

hope my SOC looks and turns like that!

Indycraze71

Welcome aboard make yourself at home... Your gonna love that AB!

Indycraze71

Yea still figurin' it out myself...I've been using imageshack. Seems to work? I was definitely not disappointed in that whip at all.It's great!

Indycraze71

Here is a close-up of the handle as well...

Indycraze71

Yup that's one good lookin' hat.

Indycraze71

Here are some quick photos of the whip...

enjoy... the bottom photo is the new JS whip and my 3 year old Robert Duke 10 footer.

Indycraze71

I received my 10 footer saddle tan Indy whip from Joe today. It is fantastic a beautiful work of art. I love it! I'll try and get some photos posted ASAP maybe even later tonight. Thanks guys for all your help.

Indycraze71

I think Ford's hat went through lots of abuse and the creases in that lid are unique and really cannot be duplicated perfectly again. Thus the cool looking Raider's lid look. However I too am open to any ideas and theories on how to try and replicate the look of the hat. Plus I am still lookin' for ...

Indycraze71

I have my grey Akubra that I wear with the rest of my stuff I think it looks good with it as well. You should have both options available if you can or want too. It's fun to decide whether its the brown or grey hat today.

Indycraze71

Yea make mine a converted pork-pie then will ya!

Indycraze71

After taking a look at that "page 3" I have to agree with Indy Doc.

Indycraze71

I'm still not sure where this line or bump is exactly, but shouldn't it be visable in just about every profile of the hat then? Not disputing here just lookin' for more evidence. Also Clint Eastwood's "man with no name" hat is the second coolest hat in film history! Well maybe its the firs...

Indycraze71

Yup thats the one VP.

Indycraze71

I think barranca's hat may have been made of straw? There is a really good publicity still photo of him pointing the gun that may show some detail to the hat.

Indycraze71

I dunno if your saying that Spielberg's hat was turned into Barranca's or not, but you can see them both in the last photo wearing 2 different hats. Which would kill that theory.

Indycraze71

It also appears to be a bit thicker or heavier than the previous movie jackets as well as having some different modifications on it like the snaps on the storm flap and a bigger collar. That said it's never really bothered me I like the jacket.

Indycraze71

Well Joe shipped my whip out this morning so it should be arriving in a couple days maybe the begining of next week. Joe said it turned out great and that the dimensions on this whip are very accurate!

My excitment level increases. I'll keep y'all posted.

Indycraze71

Yes that saddle tan looks very good, this is my first Strain whip and I am very excited to get it. I have been wanting one for quite some time now. It has shipped and should be here inna couple of days.

Indycraze71

Looks like another winner to me!

The hat looks good as well. Wear 'em well and often

Indycraze71

I just ordered a 10 footer Indy whip from Joe in the saddle tan. After seeing that beautiful whip of yours with that coloring really makes me excited to get mine.

Indycraze71

Yeah Joe said he could get to it this week and ship it out next week. Very sorry to hear about your work situation Pitfall... I may have a whip for sale here inna week or 2

After I get my Joe Strain.

Indycraze71

On the subject of the hats in this film here is what it says about the costumizing in "The Making of King Kong" by Jenny Wake. "A lot of men's hats were bought from Australian and American companies, while others were rented. "There's a company here called Hill's Hats that has be...

Indycraze71

Looks good to me... I like the lived-in look on that hat.

Indycraze71

Thanks guys, I have made up my mind and decided to obtain one of Joe's fantastic Indy whips I have emailed him and we have it all worked out. My whip should be here in the next week or so. Again thanks for all the help!

Indycraze71

Thanks Mola! That's what I was looking for

Indycraze71

Oh yeah I almost forgot if someone out there has a Strain whip they might want to sell let me know I may be interested in taking it off your hands.

Indycraze71

...gettin' an Indy bullwhip made by Joe Strain? I've looked here for a link to his site or other info, but I can't seem find it. :oops: If anyone who has recently ordered one could tell me the best way to find out his pricing and contact information and how long it takes to get one made I would grea...

Indycraze71

The "cheerio" thing is a blob or mistake in the half-tone printing dot pattern, just a printing goof. You can probably spot hundreds of 'em in your daily newspaper.
