Wouldn’t this post be better off posted in the guns section?

Seriously though, not sure about stretching but I do know satin allows you to slide your arms in easier without snagging and bunching.

For what it's worth... I purchased a Raiders Poet in Beaver back right before Jack left. To my eye, it looked dimensionally spot on to the Raiders SOC that I had always wanted. I had others from the vendors mentioned above, and while they were exceptionally crafted hats, the crown never seemed quite...

I must say that is a sharp looking jacket in black!

What’s the acronym VINC ? I know it’s going to be something super obvious but I’m not piecing it together...I guess that doesn’t bode well for my Wheel of Fortune tryout.

I have a third being made up for me by Blake Bruning. Blake also makes a pretty sweet whip. . Let me chime in by saying that I was looking to purchase a “first whip” for my son’s 10th Birthday to go along with a special Raider’s screening at Franklin Theater that I arranged for him and his friends....

Ride Guy

How do you think this will compare to the BK in horse hide?

Ride Guy

Nice Review. I have a BK Relic Hunter Cairo and concur with the more chocolate-esque color. I've found that an application of Pecard's brown tinted dressing really helps bring it closer to perceived screen color as well as help for weather proofing. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/6...

This actually makes me kind of sad for a host of reasons.

I’m imagining a potato brown color

...is there a reference color I could look up?

Ride Guy

I wanted to chime in and buttress the points made with my own experience. My interactions with Jack in making the hat I recently ordered & received have been second to none in terms of his professionalism and customer service. In the end, thanks to Jack, I got the Raiders hat from HJ that I alwa...

When I read "trim the hat" it was as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Ok so here is the gasoline tossed on an open flame... Let me preface this by saying I don't know anything about floating sweat bands, stitching methodologies, build techniques, etc...I'm simply stating that from my engineering calibrated eye, the Herbert Johnson reboot matches EXACTLY what I see on ...

Ride Guy

I can't speak to any of the other manufacturers as all I have is a 10' Morgan from 1991 and never got another one; it is a great whip. However, I will say that when I was looking to get my son his first whip (was on the fence between a 6' & 8'), Blake of TrinityWhips made an excellent 6' whip th...

I think Magnoli used to make a custom sized "adventure" bag that was dimensionally larger to hold laptops; not sure it that is still an option but would be a great way to carry.

Holy Smoke Dr. Jones...seeing that jacket takes me back. That was my first Indy jacket purchase shortly after starting at Disney. They sold them at the Adventure Outpost (Disney-MGM Studios) and Avigators (Pleasure Island) for the princely sum of $350 in 1992. Even though I got a 35% discount it sti...

Does the BK Relic Hunter have these?

The Studios used to have a functioning costuming department that was visible through the studio shuttle tour (big red shuttles Backlot Tour).

Does anyone have pics of worn-in Alden 405s in chromexcel (not 403s)? I am pulling the trigger on a pair from Alden SF and since I already have a newish pair of the regular 405s in brickish-brown and thought for the second pair I might try a more brown color. Do these darken over time to look more R...

Ok, so I thought a local theatrical and costume supply company would have this in stock. I called and the guy in the phone said they did but he turned out not to know what he was talking about because when I went there to purchase; bubkis. Is there a readily available substitute for fillers earth th...

I may try it but the pucker factor is high

Thanks for the reply...and the hat!

Hi all, I just received my Penman Raiders in beaver and it is a thing of beauty. I am thinking about adding Fuller's earth for halloween but just can't quite bring myself to do it. Has anyone tried to remove Fullers from a hat thus treated? Perhaps I should just pull the trigger on a legacy AB and t...

So do you think the standard 40R (purported to be HF size for ROTLA) with the 25.5 inch sleeves is an inch short as compared to the screen used one?

Ride Guy

So If I am ordering a BK Relic Hunter in 40R (which was the reported size of HF in Raiders); the standard sleeve size for this said to be "Size 40 has a sleeve length of 25 1/2". Does that match the SA version of the jacket? The Straited Lamb is supposedly as spot on as possible for the ma...

Ride Guy

Thanks Tibor, I did mean the mechanic fight and desert chase for the jacket and not the streets of Cairo; that's the hat. Thanks Texan Scott for the detailed synopsis. You said the S&J Cadorza was the most SA but the Kelso tops it in other areas. Does the Kelso match it in SA for color/texture. ...

Ride Guy

Tibor, how does the Kelso compare to the Todds or Wested Hero? Is the current version of the Kelso striated lamb a good match for SA Streets of Cairo color? If you order standard sizes (say 40R), does the fit match a SA look with no adjustments needed? Thanks.

Did you save the webbing belt that came with the bag? That is the exact same material as used on the sides for the o-rings. You can take it to a tailor or luggage repair and have them re-purpose the webbing belt into the side ring holder.

Ride Guy

Can anyone comment on the length. I prefer a full break and the 31" inseam is almost long enough, I am curious if there is enough material to let it about an inch or two. The description on Todd's site says Other details that are true to the original trousers are 4" military hems, . Does t...

Hi Blake, it's killing me because the local theater is delaying showing the movie because they wanted to build a marketing thing around several Spielberg Blockbuster Movies; starting with Raiders and Ending with Jurassic Park. I'm making a few props for the lobby (crate for the ark, cherubs, idol, e...

Ride Guy

Thank you gentlemen for the nod...I appreciate it. If you are settled on Wested, I hightly reccommend the Dark Brown Lamb.. :D Settled on the Wested sounds like you have thoughts on another vendor? Do you have a suggestion? Did you water treat the DB Lamb to bring out the textures? What else do you...

Ride Guy

Ok so I've decided to get a ROTLA Wested Hero (though the BK Relic Hunter is extremely tempting); aside from the measurements conundrum, the skin question is even worse. Shrunken Lamb, Vegetable Tanned Crispe, standard Lambskin, Dark Brown Lambskin. The pics I've seen of the Crispe and have rejected...

I went with the Raiders beaver; I originally bought a poet from Swales at HJ back in the day and I've always been disappointed in it. I'm finally scratching that itch of replacing it with one that looks correct like in the Idol scene. I went with beaver because everything I've read indicates it's mo...

Excellent choice! So did I, which did you go with?

Thanks Tibor, I appreciate the feedback and will check out his site. Its good to be able to draw on other's experiences. I'll keep you posted. I'm close to narrowing down the decision between 6 ft and 8 ft by looking at the ratios of my height to whip length and my son's. Its the engineer in me that...

I just wanted to add a personal anecdote for Penman Hat Shop. I called John out of the blue asking about re-blocking a HJ fedora that I've never been quite happy with. He was thoughtful and generous with his time and responses even though I was catching him between tasks. I was so impressed with his...

I've made my son wait as long as I possibly can to see Raiders (all of his friends have seen it but I wanted to make him wait until he was the same age I was when I first saw it).
