Yeah I sent an email to them as well shortly after I posted this thread. Like M said, I hope they honor the warranty on repairs if needed. I will post their response when I get it.

So just browsing through G&B website, I noticed the Expedition is no longer on the sight as are a number of other jackets they used to make. Anybody know what's going on with that? If they are not making them any more, I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Misfit13

A lot of times I wear my GB goat with a Pendleton or Hawaiian shirt underneath with a quarter cap. I get either "Nice vintage look" or someone talks like Edward G Robinson. Go figure.

Misfit13

I love the LC jacket the best. That looks beautiful!

Misfit13

Thanks for all the replies. I work as a firefighter/operator in an oil refinery here in Peoples Republik of Kalifornia so I am surrounded by all sorts of interesting items. Makes me a bit paranoid lol!

Misfit13

Hey there. So I have been storing my web belt, gloves, Linder knife, etc in m WW2 issued satchel. I've read and have been told by other Indy gear heads that the bag was treated with asbestos. This makes me nervous. Needless to say, I emptied the contents out of the bag and figured on replacing the b...

Misfit13

I have found these as well on ASMC.de. I use them for my German mountain packs from the '90's.

Misfit13

It would be a cool alternative to the Dickies jackets I would think. Depends on the color, I would buy one!

Misfit13

I think its an awesome idea. "Why is your lining like that?" "To evade Nazis. I hate those guys." Leave people wondering if you live in a time warp.

Misfit13

Thank you Cajun! Just to clarify, The anchor and ship is a tribute to my Grandfather who fought in both WW2 and Korea. I got it for him since he had such an impact in my life. It put tears in his eyes. The rest of the arm reflex more traditional representations of my family. But pack to the whip. It...

Here are the pics. I hope you enjoy :TOH: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/hotrodmonster/IMG_1201_zps49dcc80b.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/hotrodmonster/IMG_1362_zps86736412.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/hotrodmonster/IMG_1364_zps059c7aaf.jpg http://i1074.photo...

Thank you Indiana Jeff!

Misfit13

I too have the LLBean dark khaki. I would like to make it a more brown Last Crusade. color. What would be the best color RIT dye?

Misfit13

Sorry to be so late in posting. Been out of town and Work related stuff always gets in the way with the fun stuff. I still need to take pics of the whip. I will be able to get to it this week. I also need to take pics and post my DeMiguel diary I received a while back as well.

Misfit13

Got an email from Dusty yesterday saying my whip has been shipped! I will post pics when I get it.

Misfit13

Awesome! I shall be following this thread with great interest!

Misfit13

Is it too late to be added to the run list?

Misfit13

Annual pass holders here at Disney Anaheim. I live close enough to hear the fireworks rattle my windows. For me, Trader Sam's is the best place for a cold one outside of the islands! :D Back to the jacket. @ micsteam, I added those snaps because A) I wanted to, and B) I love LC. Is it SA? Nope, but ...

Misfit13

Thanks everyone. My enthusiasm for this jacket is giving me pause. As always, the members here are nothing short of helpful.

Misfit13

It's a 1903 Springfield Michaelson. It has an original barrel from 1918

. Thank you for the kind words! I wanted to add the snaps so it would have that LC vibe and like you said, block out the wind. And yes, I wear it whenever I can!

Misfit13

Here is mine. I had direction from the good Dr. Nebraska on snap placement (thank you Sir!). They are Prym 15mm antiqued brass snaps. I also put a custom name tape on the inside pocket. The tape matched the liner perfectly and I chose khaki for my name. I chose G&B in goat due to the excellent r...

Misfit13

Thanks Cajun! Your post will help determine my decision.

Misfit13

Hey everyone! I'm tempted to pull the trigger on this one. Want some advice from you fine people. I own a GB in goat in size 44T. What do you think would be a comparable size? How does the fit compare to the GB and does anyone know if the cut is close to the LC jacket? I'm too nervous to special ord...

Misfit13

That is correct Rio! I think I just damaged the convex edge on my BRKT Bravo 1 by using the cuff on my sleeve.....

Misfit13

Beautiful! I can't wait until July for my Last Crusade whip!

Misfit13

Thank you Chuck! I'm looking forward to the pics of you AB's!

Thanks Pete! Seeing pics from the other guys is one thing, but seeing and wearing them in person, and I'm just amazed at the craftmanship. You won't be disappointed!

Misfit13

Well I bit the bullet and went to my local Alden retailer in Newport Beach not too far from me. The store is Gary's. Nice place and helpful staff. Anyway, I bought the 405's and they are nice! http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/hotrodmonster/Indy%20Pics/DSC02108_zps50405227.jpg [/URL [url=http...

Misfit13

Since SA is the stuff that drives men mad, I tend to refrain from such pursuits and go with what a lot of you fine people refer to as "screen reminiscent". To this end, my GB in goat with a 15mm antiqued snap installed on the bottom of the storm flap fits the bill nicely. I haven't install...

Misfit13

Dude, really?! Thank you for the heads up. Maybe I can get my foot fitted at one of the Alden distributor stores this week and order some before the first. Here's to trying anyway....

Misfit13

Well, after a lot of reading on this board and surfing Alden's website a ton, I've decided on getting the 405's. I like the way the leather looks on that model. And yes, Tundra, I was amiss in calling the city "Frisco". I have never used that word while in the city and since my girl is fro...

Misfit13

Will do Tundra! Once the dust settles from the Holiday madness I will take a few photos of the jacket at post them in said thread.

Misfit13

I purchased my goat Expo in early September of this year based on the incredible reviews from Tundrarider. I have, since the purchase, slept in it nightly, worn it whenever I can, crumple it in a ball in the corner of the bedroom, and rubbed the jacket on the carpet which knocked down the shiny quit...

Misfit13

Thank you all for these incredibly informative replies. It gives me a lot to think about concerning leather colors and soles. I believe I'm leaning more towards the 403's and for practical purposes may have to get the commando sole. Looking forward to trying them out at Aldens.

Misfit13

Ladies and Gentlemen, I refer to the experience and knowledge of you all to school me on this issue. My search function refuses to work tonight. I'm going up to Frisco in March and plan on hitting up the Alden shop. My questions are as follows: What exactly are the difference between the 403 and 405...

Misfit13

Well, I placed my order for a Last Crusade 8'er this afternoon. The email i received said it won't be ready until the end of July. I'm really excited about it, but the wait! Oh, the humanity!

But from the reviews I have seen from you folks, I feel I made a good choice

Misfit13

That's it! I'm sold! Now where did I put my Christmas wish list……..

Thank you, gentlemen, for your post. My worries have been averted.

Misfit13

I've been giving a hard look at the Magnoli's. Did you give him your actual size and did they fit true? I'm just worried about what size to order since it would be custom and coming all the way from NZ.

Misfit13

Thank you all for the compliments on the hat! I'm really enjoying wearing it!

@ Chewie Louie, I ordered it in the beginning of August.

Misfit13

Received mine today http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/hotrodmonster/Indy%20Pics/DSC02093_zpsd6781487.jpg [/URL[URL=http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/hotrodmonster/media/Indy%20Pics/DSC02097_zps9ec82321.jpg.html] http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/hotrodmonster/Indy%20Pics/DSC02097_zps9e...

I received my hat today. All I can say is WOW! I took some quick photos before work and hastily uploaded them to photo bucket. Gonna try to upload them here. please bear with me.

Misfit13

Thank you sir! I'm holding out for todds and hopefully they will get my size in soon. I'm rocking the dark khakis now and trying to get that MacAurther washed look to them. Still, that taupe look is real nice.

Misfit13

Gentlemen, in your opinion, what color of the L.L. Bean chinos comes close to the color taupe? I wasn't able to purchase a pair of those before they discontinued them. It looks to me that the lighter khaki comes close, but I defer to the experts here. Thank you in advanced.

Misfit13

I'm new on this board but I just received my tracking number from Mr. Delk. Should arrive on Monday! I've read lots of the member stories on the long waits and no responses to emails, but in my case, Steves timeline was just a month longer than quoted and comms were responded promptly. Just wanted t...

Misfit13

*UPDATE*

Mr. Delk just emailed me the tracking number. Looks like it will arrive on Monday!

Misfit13

Thank you everyone for the welcome! And yes, Mr. Penman, pics will be posted once the hat is in my possession and I figure out how to post the pics :D . Like I said, Steve just emailed me yesterday that the hat will be shipped. The wait excitement is even worse now! Kinda like getting the shipping n...
