I have the same problem, one foot bigger than the other, plus wide feet. So I've come up with a little ritual to break in snug boots that has worked really well on several pairs of boots and shoes. I bought a pair of Alden shoe tree's that are about half a size bigger than what I wear and are also w...

I have one of Dusty's and it's really nice!

Been wearing my Garrison quite a bit lately as its been cold up here. Wore it out on a snowy day and it held up great. Such a comfortable hat!

We've been going through some old family photos and came across these pictures of my Mother, her sister and my Grandfather from 1949. I know everyone wore hats back then but the resemblance to Indy's hat was just to much not to post. It's got that nice high crown and wide brim. Unfortunately neither...

Another great looking hat!

That is a great article! Thanks for posting it.

My Girlfriend and I took a little mini-vacation to Frankenmuth Michigan this last week, and made a stop at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland (361 days of non-stop Christmas :Dietrich: ) The weather was right so I decided to wear my Garrison. Thank goodness I did as we were attacked by a roaming Christm...

I had the hooks replaced on my Land End Crosby close enough boots. They are not small hooks like the Todds or Aldens but they are very strong. They cost me about $30 a shoe to have them put on, way more than it should have, but now that I've got those fixed and I shoe gooed some Vibram soles on the ...

Here is what I posted on how I distressed mine, hope it helps.

I can't remember if this is in the actual movie or if it was a cut scene put back in the "redux" of Apocalypse Now, but here is a picture of him smoking in that scene.

How are the lace hooks? Saw on a reviews on Todd's website that one person had a hook bend and break right away, so just curious if that was a fluke or are they made from weak metal?

Looks great Dusty!! My ten foot Raiders whip from Dusty looks great as well. I am purely a novice to whips and whip cracking but I was able to do a simple crack right off the bat and it felt very easy to do. I was expecting the 10 foot to be much more difficult (which it may be as I try harder crack...

And there you have it folks. Everything you needed to know about moths. Seriously, I wasn't aware that larvae were the real culprit. Gailen :TOH: When I was very young, my uncle convinced me that he could turn into Mothman and prowled the night eating the woolen underwear of his unsuspecting victim...

Great looking hat there. And outstanding photos especially for a 7 year old!

I really like the wide ribbon on it. Once again great job David!

Well, it looks like I'm finally going to have enough disposable income next week to order mine after all! :D I've just been hired to score my first commercial for a major electronics company this week (I'm also a composer). Since this is writing for multimedia, I think it'll be fitting to have a go...

There is a huge difference in offering valuable correct information nicely and acting like everyone around you is an idiot (which you've done since your first post). You say you don't care but I really hope a mod will step in and teach you some manners.

I just received the one I ordered today as well, being a large guy I ordered the 3XL Long however on receiving it, the length of the shirt itself was only 31", it barely reached my waist. The arm length was fine, but someone screwed up majorly on this shirt. I sent a note in to them to get an e...

Just wanted to post these pics of the US Wings brown Signature Goatskin I got a couple weeks ago when they were still $195. I've been using the distressing technique Tundraraider posted here . The colors are off in this picture when I have a chance to take some pictures with better lighting I will. ...

bish

I know this is an older thread but I just wanted to thank Tundraraider for the great tutorial. I don't have an Expedition (I hope too someday after I've slimmed down a bit) but I did recently pick up a US Wings Signature Indy in Goatskin and the tips here proved just as useful on that jacket as well...

Very nice Jeff, I love vintage finds like that! Perfect condition. If you don't mind me asking what did that set you back?

Show some respect. Respect is earned and a two way street. I saw very little respect for Indiana Jeff in Mr. Penmans responses. Everyone has a choice in how they treat other people and just because you live in a certain part of the country does not give you license to treat people poorly. I've live...

I know to most people here, its a hobby but im not a hobby hat maker. This is how I make a living. I am glad someone finally said something about your attitude in this thread, I've been reading these posts since I asked about hat boxes and Indiana Jeff has attempted to be helpful and friendly. He e...

Thank you, Bish. I am humbled and very happy by your words. :TOH: More ladies look than you know. Shhh, my girlfriend won't like that hehe. ;) Actually she loves this hat about as much as I do. And your welcome, you deserve every bit of praise, you do great work. :TOH: - bish Sent from my iPhone us...

So I was out most of the day today here in Michigan and it was in the 50's so I decided that it was perfect weather to try out my new hat in public. WOW!! Let me gush again... WOW!! I like hats, I've always like hats, think more people should wear them. However I have always been a tad uncomfortable...

Yeah I had to decide what whip length to get, since this was more for displaying and wearing with an Indy costume and I probably will not get another whip any time soon, I went with the 10 ft. Realizing also that it would be a bit harder to learn with. But that's ok i've never done things the easy w...

That looks great!!!!!! Curious about the sweatband. Is that a A personal touch to have it pleated like that? Thanks, the sweatband is just wavy and there is a bit extra at the back of the hat which is bunched up a bit. I can't say enough though how soft this sweatband is. It's really amazing and fe...

New Garrison Hatters Raiders Fedora My Garrison Hatters Raiders fedora arrived today, this arrived shortly after my Crease N Corral Raiders bullwhip arrived so it was a great day. Just like the whip, I've been wanting a real Indy fedora since I was a kid and finally today is the day. The hat is fant...

Today was a great day, not one but two items I ordered at the beginning of the year arrived. Both things I've wanted since I was a kid and first saw an Indiana Jones movie in the theatre. (I actually saw Temple of Doom first because my parents thought I was too young when Raiders came out.) The firs...

Any recommendations of a good moth resistant hat box?

So sloppy workmanship aside, as I said in my last post these are the most comfortable shoes I own. I ordered a second pair and they are as comfortable as the first after breaking them in. Just a note I did not artificially distress the second pair at all other than a coat of pecards and they broke i...

Just to clarify are ALL the American made Indy jackets made by Schott? I just bought a Signature Goatskin since they were on sale for $195 and the site said they weren't going to be made any more. It's going to be my lose weight until it fits just right jacket ;) It arrived today and it's really nic...

Great pics and great job making these Wade!!

I wear my satchel all the time now. It so nice to have something to hold stuff I might need. I just wish I had the money right now for one of Wade's leather ones. But I haven't gotten any negative comments at all and personally I wouldn't care. My girlfriend and I call it my "man-bag". I d...

Very cool looks like we'll have some Garrison picture goodness between the two of us.

And thanks for the info, I keep meaning to ask David about the waterproofing but also didn't want to distract him too much hehe.

Great picture!!

Oooh I can't wait hehe.

So for those of you with Garrison hats any specific care tips for a first time fur felt hat owner? Is it a good idea to waterproof it or does he do that to the hat already?

Congrats on the gift certificate and hat, it looks great!! Someday I hope to have the funds for a Penman, if only for the great Prisoner music on every video and the bike logo. (I'm just as much of a Prisoner fan as I am an Indy fan

I've seen a hat get a hole like this one, it was in the movie ''my name is nobody'' when Henry Fonda's character shoots Terrence Hil's hat like 4-5 times and there's supposed to be only one hole... Well Depp was friends with the late author and gun enthusiast, Hunter S. Thompson, so you never know!...

So now that I've had these for a bit and they have been broken in for my wide feet, I have to admit these are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. They fit like a glove now and the insole has just the right cushonjng for my feet. Even after I lambasted the quality in my post earlier, the fa...

Thanks all :TOH: It's been great to breath new life into this hat that has just been sitting on a shelf for so long :lol: I also got some great comments when I wore it out that day.

I got my glasses back today with the prescription lenses in them. I have a pretty hefty script so I got the lightest lenses I could.

Hey all, This isn't an Indy hat, however since it's St. Patricks day, I thought I'd share some pictures of a green wool felt hat I've had for many years. It was originally a Broner "Villager" Pork Pie hat, but yesterday as I was dreaming of the Garrison Raiders hat I have coming in the nex...
