Not to hijack the thread but have you ever considered looking for a hat made as a "long oval"? I can see from your photo that the hat comes away from the sides of your head a little bit. I wasn't even aware that this was a "thing" myself until I purchased my first custom hat (whi...

I see someone else mentions them a couple posts down and compares them side by side to the Alden's but at least they are on sale now.

Saw these today. Might be a good alternative

I don't see this posted so I thought what the heck.

OK, I know I'm a little late to the game on this one but I have a Todd's, a WPG and a Wested. All purchased within the last couple of months so all are the most recent runs. In the picture below, the WPG is on the bottom, the Wested is in the middle and the Todd's is on top with a pair of Todd's pan...

Also the 1/2 Windsor tends to come out more symmetrical than the Four-in-Hand which is another reason why I like it.

E

Eundercoffler

OK, I can see that this is a contentions subject from the last thread mentioned above but I will go out on a limb here. Despite what Indy uses, the width of the knot should be dictated by the spread of the collar. If it is a narrow spread collar use a Four-in-Hand. If it is a wide spread collar use ...

Eundercoffler

I only have experience with Todd's and WPG. The WPG pants are a pretty thick wool and could probably handle some abuse.

I have been waiting for these to go on sale and finally they are. I own two of these and like them a lot. They are a poly blend so they don't wrinkle like the cotton ones (which I like). Looks like most are on backorder but they are still taking orders. They seem to run a little big so size down one...

Eundercoffler

Just out of curiosity Croft, are you trying to collect every version of every Indy shirt ever available?

E

Eundercoffler

Hey Croft,
I haven't washed it yet (I'm a little gun shy after my Todd's shrinking so badly). Ill see if I can get some pics but it won't be until next week.
E

Eundercoffler

I just got one of Wested's shirts about a week ago. The color doesn't look anything like the photo you posted. I wouldn't describe it as yellow-ish at all. Compared to Todd's current shirt it is a little more brown-kaki or sand colored while I would call the Todd's more of a grey-kaki. The Wested is...

Eundercoffler

I'm not sure how much mine shrunk in the width, maybe a little but mostly it shrank in length.
E

Eundercoffler

Ya that looks like mine too. I'm 5'8", 175 lbs. The Medium fit me great until I washed it. Now the shrunken Larg fits OK. Sleeves are appropriate length but it is still a little big in the body. I'm temped to buy another medium and dry clean only! On a side note, I just got a Wested size Small ...

Eundercoffler

I would love to get a WPG but they don't have any mediums in stock

E

Eundercoffler

Looks like they have a dark Khaki and a light Khaki. Do you know which ones these are? I'm guessing the lighter based on the photos.
E

Eundercoffler

I have a Wested Raiders in pre-distressed (can't post photos at the moment). I love it. I also have one in lamb and although I think the lamb is probably more screen accurate, I find I wear the pre-distressed more. I think the distressing gives it a more "Indy" look even though it's not st...

Eundercoffler

Though I wasn't thrilled with Todd's jacket or hat (and sent both back), I did rather like the shirt and felt it was of fairly good quality. I was just disappointed with the shrinking. But, I'm very happy with their customer service?

E

Eundercoffler

I always like the Harness Boots myself. Retro looking... could be biker... could be cowboy... but with more attitude than either. Of course maybe those are to close to Engineer boots for the look you want.

E

Eundercoffler

So I measured mine this morning and found that the sleeves had shrunk a full 1 1/2". It looked like I was wearing my kids shirt. I emailed Todd's Costumes and Sue responded back that they were hearing some reports that the shirts were shrinking in the wash and she would be happy to either excha...

Eundercoffler

Any update on this? Hoping to pick up a new shirt soon!
E

Eundercoffler

Nice.

(I especially like the Winnie the Poo blanket!)
E

Eundercoffler

Very helpful comparison. Thanks. :TOH: For what it's worth, the pictures of the WPG's don't look any more baggy than the Todd's. They may feel different and from other angle may look different, but they look loose without being overly baggy. With Todd no longer making trousers, these look like a so...

Eundercoffler

Great review, Eundercoffler! :TOH: I'm still considering a pair, but was wondering about the sizing. If I wear a "36 waist, is that what I should order? As you know, some of us were a little ...uh.. disappointed to find out we were a bigger in the waist than we thought..due to his 'true measur...

Eundercoffler

Ok has anyway had problems with their Todd's shirt shrinking? I washed mine in cold water and then line dried it and it looks it it shrank up quite a bit. I can hardly get the sleeves buttoned now!
E

Eundercoffler

For those of you who have the Todd's shirt, I have a care question for you. How do you launder this thing? There are no care instructions in the shirt and I am afraid to dry it or steam it for fear it may shrink. I washed it to soften it up a bit and get the "new" wrinkles out of it then l...

Eundercoffler

Ok, some comparison photos - Here are the two pairs together. Todd's on the left, WPG on the right. They are pretty close in color, the WPG's are just slightly lighter. (picture taken indoors near a window with no flash). http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx64/EUNDERCOFFLER/IMG_0453_zpsa15d38de.jpg...

It wouldn't be until Monday at least until I could take some.

I picked up a Mark Anthony shirt this weekend at Kohl's. Comes in White and has two seems (not pleats) down each side and through the pockets. Doesn't come in Stone buy does come in White. On sale for $37.00 http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1614046/marc-anthony-slim-fit-roll-tab-woven-casual-button-...

Eundercoffler

OK I ordered a pair of these. They are a thicker wool than the Todds and fit a bit differently. They are really thick around the waist band where the pleats are. They are also really baggy in the thighs. In general I like the fit and cut of the Todd's better as well as the weight of the wool. I will...

Anyone know if Wade is still selling gear? I can't seem to track his site down.
E

I'm 5"8' and 175 Lbs with a 41 inch chest. I got the medium and I found it to be tight in the upper arms and across the chest. I imaging with your build it should fit just right. In any case, he is really good about returns/exchanges so if you need a different size I don't imagine you would hav...

Eundercoffler

Wow, that last picture come out large! Sorry
E

Eundercoffler

OK, heres a couple pics. I wasn't going for a specific Indy look, just a general indy style hat though I think it came out kind of Crystal Skull-ish. The flash washed out the side dents in some of the pictures but I think you get the idea. http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx64/EUNDERCOFFLER/Mobile...

Eundercoffler

OK, so I wound up picking up a Fed IV also. Went with the standard rabbit as I wanted the carbon gray color which wasn't available in the delux. Worked on it a bit today. I have to say it is a bit stiff for my liking. I had to put the steam to it quite a bit to shape it. I do like the hat though it ...

Eundercoffler

Ok BendingOak,
What height do you usually crease the hat to at the front?
E

Eundercoffler

Thanks but I don't think that was it. I took a look through that thread but didn't see the photos I was looking for. There seems to be some disagreement about the bashed height of the front of the crown (LC hat). I was just hoping for some clarification. I know if I ask everyone will offer their opi...

Eundercoffler

I remember seeing either a post or a link on here to a series of screen shots from the movie with a scale ruler laid on top of the photos for reference. I can't for the life of me find that post again. Does anyone know to what I am referring?
E

Eundercoffler

Wound up getting one of Lee Keppler's new Beaver Brand hats. Superb, I'm glad I spent the extra money!
E

Eundercoffler

Ok well I wound up buying a Wested Leather "Raiders" jacket in Lamb. Got an off-the-shelf size 40. I generally wear a 40s so I was not surprised when the sleeves were a little long. Took it to a taylor today to have him bring them up about an inch. Nice looking jacket though, I can't wait ...

Eundercoffler

Interesting, I emailed Wested and they sent me back a size chart for the, "Raiders and Crusade Jacket". According to them, the dimensions on both jackets are the same. Below is their email. "Hello, Measurement wise the stock Last Crusade and the Raiders are exactly the same. The main ...

Eundercoffler

Thank you!

Hello all, I was wondering if someone could explain the differences (specifically in fit) between Wested Leathers Raiders jacket and their Last Crusade/Crystal Scull jacket? I looked on their website and couldn't find anything about the differences. I also searched here and came up empty handed. Tha...

Eundercoffler

I don't know, it doesn't look to me like the front tapers back that much. I think the issue here is that he typically wears it tipped back on his head because the front brim comes down so far that it looks like it is tapered more than it is. If you look at the band when he puts it on, you see how an...

Eundercoffler

Great, thank you Bigfoot, that's what I needed to know.
E

Eundercoffler

Thanks, good info. It sounds like the Federation is a fairly soft hat (if it can be bashed without steam) not like the Akubras I was looking at. If the Adventurer is anything like the Fed, it seems like either one would work for me. I would still like to hear from someone who has one though.
E

Eundercoffler

I have been considering the Akubra Adventurer and went to a local shop that carries the Akubra brand today. Though they didn't have an Adventurer, I did look at a couple other styles and they are very stiff/hard and frankly not very comfortable. I was wondering if anyone who actually owns one can gi...
