So Diego, I'm waiting to see the cowhide Crusades in leather that's been pre-distressed before construction. Do you have one of those to show in the near future? I'm sorry, but the only LC distressed is order #53, and is in the lightweight cowhide. Not the premium cowhide seeing on car96's jacket. ...

chuck2003

IMO Wested and screen accuracy doesnt go hand in hand (Although the hero pattern is spot on. Just the leather type and the buckles on the straps arent right). I feel like most people buy a Wested to say "I have a Raiders jacket from the people who made the original". If what your looking f...

chuck2003

Would love to have a last crusade jacket as well!

chuck2003

I love Magnoli....He makes some great stuff. I've been dying to get a last crusade jacket from him! Your jacket looks great wear it proudly

chuck2003

Magnoli just made me a pair of raiders pants..your not going to find a better pair of indy pants imo

chuck2003

Can't wait just put in my order

chuck2003

Oooooo I'm excited!!! Guess I'll be your guinea pig haha will post pics when I receive it

chuck2003

Sweet email sent

chuck2003

any approximate eta on when they will be available

getting the itch again for another jacket

chuck2003

Wow cant wait going to go with the distressed one for sure! any approximate eta on this ?

chuck2003

Wow that's a fine looking jacket......This might tempt me into buying one jacket per movie

chuck2003

Any one know of any con safe whips ? I have a del Carpio whip but most cons will not allow you to carry a real 10 ft bull whip. Does any one know of anything that looks like a real whip but can't be used as a whip

chuck2003

I know both wested and bill kelso need to get on the ball and make me my LC jacket i've been dreaming of lol

chuck2003

I have to say I'm quite jealous. I've been wanting to order a LC Jacket but I'm scared to order a custom spec'd jacket from wested. Really wish they would make a hero LC ughhh

chuck2003

Really love the stuff he makes. Now that I've finished my raiders costume I want to do a LC and buy his LC belts/straps. But I've been hesitant to start buying stuff because no one makes a good off the shelf LC jacket and I'm afraid to order a custom one from wested. So unfortunately I may have to w...

chuck2003

I had a pair from the most recent runs. There are some pro's and con's for sure. They are great reproductions. If you put them next to a pair of real Aldens it would look almost identical. If you are just looking for them to be a costume boot they are a great choice (if you can find them any more he...

chuck2003

I a had no doubt they would do right to their customers. Stefan is a very helpful guy when I talked to him via email. I just think this was a case of over thinking it a bit. If they do a new run in the future I think I will wait until they are released. For now I'm going to put in in a order for the...

chuck2003

Well Stefan emailed me back and offered a full refund minus shipping fee's/ paypal fee's as long as they are in mint condition. Really ***** I was looking forward to these boots for a very long time. I really do like them as a boot purchase but as a indy boot purchase for them to not even be in the ...

I agree that is the color of the boots he wore IMO. The closest thing that Alden makes to that is the natural chromexcel. Its very close not perfect but a #### of a lot closer to then the AB

See those look almost identical to what the AB aldens....but a raiders boot they are not

chuck2003

Yep nice boots on their own but not whats seen in the movies imo. They are nice boots but these are supposed to be the end all be all screen accurate Raiders boots and they just arent. The color is completely off. Agreed, Chuck. It's not about what the boots might've looked like before years of wea...

chuck2003

I'm sorry the darker boots look great but those aren't working for me. Nice in their own right but nope.

chuck2003

I second Magnoli....Believe hes the only one out there that makes fitted Indy gear. I have his MOTB sweater and it fits perfect and looks amazing very high quality

chuck2003

My Review of the revised AB Alden 405's Well they are finally here after about a six month wait. These are a revised version of the original AB Alden which is supposed to be an exact copy of the boots worn in Raiders. The boot has changed quite a bit from the last iteration. The biggest change is t...

chuck2003

Boots should be delivered any time now currently awaiting the fedex man. Will update with pictures as soon as I get them

Update: @#$% fedex...."Estimated delivery :N/A" aka its never made it to the delivery facility........

chuck2003

email Stefan info@adventurebilt.com to order they cost 550 euros...cant wait to get them will post pictures the second I get them! Luckily I'm off on wednesday so I can eagerly wait for the fedex man

chuck2003

Man this thread really makes me want a last crusade jacket. Wish they would make a Hero crusade jacket I'd really be scared to death doing a custom order with Wested. Especially knowing how difficult they can be to communicate with them from the states.....I may have to pick some ones brain that has...

chuck2003

Cant wait to see these in person the leather treatment seems to really bring the boots alive. Stefan said my package should be here wednesday so I will post pics once i get them.

chuck2003

Dear Chuck,

good news:
The boots arrived yesterday. We'll take some picture tomorrow and prepare the shipping.

Best,
Stefan

chuck2003

I'm interested in hearing the difference between to two as well. I have a WPG shirt and its a nice shirt but I bought a long at the time because that's all they had and its REALLY long. So I don't wear it often unless I'm wearing the rest of the outfit. I'd like to upgrade the shirt was thinking pos...

chuck2003

Well considering raiders is the most popular of the four movies I would say the Raiders hat would be the most popular

chuck2003

Well finally my whip has finally came. I ordered a 10 foot Raiders whip in late November early December. Took a bit longer then the initial estimate but it was well worth the wait. The whip is GORGEOUS! Really upset its 1 degree outside right now or I would be outside giving it a good crack. For now...

chuck2003

I asked Stefan if he could possibly send me a picture this is what he said. "hehe, your anticipation is highly appreciated. We'll see what we can do once they arrive!"

Maybe try to get Stefan to post something up. Would be good to see them posting again.

I asked him to let me know once he receives them. So once he does I will ask if he can send a picture to me

chuck2003

Well finally got my sweater back from the tailor and it looks great. Cant tell there was ever a hole....And heres a few pics I took today http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag296/Rebel2003/2014-02-20134927_zps3580b9af.jpg http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag296/Rebel2003/DSC_0205_zps32c62eb3.jpg

As soon as I get them in the mail I will post them up some time next month

chuck2003

Some good news....Stefan from AB has just informed me that Alden has finished the boots and are currently on the way to AB which will then be delivered to me some time in march!

Hmmm and what is the overall consensus about the original hero boot ? Was the welt/stitching dyed as well or was the boot dirtied and distressed to make them appear dyed ?

chuck2003

Slight update.... I've only managed to wear my sweater a few times. This morning I picked up my sweater to put it on and I noticed there was a hole in the seam that connect the collar to the main body of the sweater. It's not a high stress area like the armpits/shoulders and I only wore the sweater ...

chuck2003

They look great! Cant wait for mine ordered the Adventurebilt Aldens should arrive in march

chuck2003

Yeah he got both of them to me very quickly. I Put my order in January 3rd, I got the scarf on the 17th and the sweater was delivered on the 28th.So he made and shipped the sweater to my door in less then a month. The sweater is SO comfortable. I cant really explain it but the material its made from...

chuck2003

I think some where between the makeitjones buckle and todds buckle would be perfect. I like the way todds buckle is dulled and beat up but I think the actual buckle is to thick. The make it jones buckle has the shape imo but way to shinny. That being said it isnt a big deal to dull down the shinny m...

Got my MOTB Cardigan/scarf this week from Indy Magnoli. I LOVE it. The sweater is so unbelievably comfortable, and warm! The color and look is spot on for both the sweater and scarf. I will take some better pictures on Sunday. But here's a quick pic I took while watching the Hobbit on this cold wint...

I wish I could see the newer BK stuff in person only cuz I've heard from several different sources that it is thinner than the first version. I love the first version I have but I could use a slightly thinner blend living in the humidity and heat down here. But if anything has more grain than what ...

chuck2003

Looks great Croft! Cant wait for my sweater should be coming soon.

chuck2003

Took some more pics of my hat a few weeks back.

If you have a dremel tool, I would say buy Tanaka's Bapty and dremel down the sight. The Bapty is practically identical to the Stembridge minus the front sight. Dremel the sight either off entirely or to the shape. If you dremel off entirely, then solder on a pre-fabricated sight. When all is said ...

chuck2003

Just got my scarf today. Really warm and comfortable, which will come in handy this coming week since its going to be in the teens. Hopefully my sweater will be coming towards the start of next month

chuck2003

Bought me a nice distressed sandbag from him as well. Just came today and It looks amazing. I love the stuff he makes and im running out of new things to buy from him haha.
