Thanks folks,

Trigger pulled. Went for Beaver/Rabbit blend. Crystal Skull style in Sable. The Raiders sable just seemed too red for me. Now I play the waiting game. It's gotta come all the way down to New Zealand so I'm praying for a pre Xmas arrival.

The collection grows................

Bradsburns

Hello Gentlemen, I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on an advintage harrison, but am unsure of which color to go for. Sable or Raiders Sable. There are a few comparison pics on the website but I'd love to see pics of the two on somebody's head in daylight to help with the final decision. Would ...

Bradsburns

It is difficult to watch, I understand. Indy 5 will be all glasses, all the time.

Bradsburns

No examples from Crystal Skull Magnoli?

Bradsburns

That is one amazing jacket. Looks superb to me. Nice work. The arms on the one I ordered ended up being too short, but yours looks great.

Wear it well on many adventures.

Bradsburns

Dude....epic buy. How did you find it? Seems odd the listing never mentions Indiana jones which is what I normally search. Sneaky.

Bradsburns

Which has the best feel, material wise?

Bradsburns

Any pics? I've thought about doing that with my wested.

Bradsburns

I'll just check with my wife....

Bradsburns

Toss up between the lamdtouch and the predistressed wested for me. Nice collection. How often do you wear them all? Do you have a rotation?

Bradsburns

Glorious jacket! Side question.... Who's the maker of the fedora in the second pic? Has a great colour.

Thanks

Bradsburns

ROLA is the one for me. All the way. Just suits and fits you best. LC looks a little short to me

Bradsburns

I also wear my fed when performing. Helps me get into character. Puts those trilby wearing folk to shame.

Post pics when it arrives.

Bradsburns

I second that vote for the fed, just gets better with age and mistreatment.

Bradsburns

Back length is 26 inches. Spot on I reckon.

Bradsburns

The Magnoli repro is as good as you can get in my opinion. Great colour great construction, and it's new so you don't have to worry about rot or asbestos. Also good price.

Bradsburns

Thanks for the compliments. I'll be wearing it in public at a convention at the end of the month. Good times

Bradsburns

Yes I thought the leather might be too light in colour when I was looking at pics online. But there was one indoor pic that looked so good so I took the leap. The colour for me is pretty close to perfect, I could use it a tad darker but only slightly so probably won't go down the pecards route. The ...

Bradsburns

Well Gents, I finally have my dream jacket in my sweaty idol grabbing hands. After months of checking ebay everyday and politely hounding folks on this forum I finally came across what I was after. Its a Wested pre distressed cowhide size 40 last crusade cut. Was very nervous about how it would fit....

Bradsburns

I'll give you one vote for cowhide. Just a better leather in my opinion. Choose wisely.....

Bradsburns

Pull the trigger. It looks good. If it doesn't fit, sell it on and try again.

Bradsburns

Where's the video footage!!!?

Bradsburns

Yes there was one for sale on eBay which I was rather interested in but with one day left on the auction the seller decided he wanted to keep it. I was all geared up for the bidding war to begin in the last hour. He had no bids so I guess it's his right not to sell but I wish I had put a bid in earl...

Bradsburns

I am impressed. Looks superb!

Bradsburns

Yea sorry W, I should clarify. Washed goat is an older hide that Wested used to offer. I keep seeing them come up on the secondary market so was just curious about quality.

Bradsburns

Just hoping ya'll can chime in and let me know the difference between the goat and washed goat at wested. I'm looking at an LC in both styles and just need some more info before I pull the trigger. Pics of you jackets would be most helpful.

Once more into the breach....

Bradsburns

Excellent! Would love to see some comparison pics.

Bradsburns

Just double checking Holt, this new LC baby of yours, is it a Wested? It is indeed glorious.....you chose.....wisely. I want the same jacket, any special specs or is it basically OTR.

Bradsburns

Templar what kind of leather is that one? It's glorious!

Bradsburns

Roadhouse!

Bradsburns

Hmmm, well it's a big question for me. I currently own a fed deluxe and I do love my fed but I find myself as one does letting my eyes linger upon other hats. One in particular the advintage harrison. If anyone could weigh in with opinions on which is preferred. I dig the colour of the harrison and ...

Bradsburns

I have Magnolis budget whip and for low end product it gives high end results. Well made looks great. I use mine for display only but it definitely looks the part sitting on your hip.

I chose.....wisely

Bradsburns

Is the cut the same between the two. Is it just a colour change? I have both a todds (yellowish) and a wpg. I tend to find the WPG is worn the most as the colour is bang on for me, but the todds is more comfortable to wear.

Bradsburns

excuse my ignorance, but what type of fedora are you wearing?. Jacket looks great.

Bradsburns

Great colour. Looks like good one.

Bradsburns

New Todds really nails the colour. wested definitely too yellow, reminds me of an older gen Todd. The WPG seems pretty Crystal Skull to me.

Bradsburns

we'll Texan Scott I believe I would prefer my girl as a Marion rather than an Indy.

Bradsburns

Yes, I would dig an indy shirt made of more suitable outdoor material, quick dry etc. hmmm

Bradsburns

actually would Indy wear a silk tie....hmmm?

Bradsburns

My first thread to make 2 pages.

Thank you gentlemen.

Bradsburns

Hmmm pajamaish is definitely not what you want in an indy shirt. My todds, again it's an older version, is in no way bedroom attire....well.... No definitely not. material on mine is thin but not too thin and after a few washes has softened up rather nicely.

Bradsburns

Sweet bag man! Looks good with the rest of your gear. How is the stitching on that thing? I hear the originals sometimes suffer from rot.

Bradsburns

Thanks Chris, just used a double needle technique I learned online. Measured out where to put each hole. Made holes. Then stitched by hand. hopefully with each leather item I make I get a bit closer to looking professional.

Bradsburns

So I'm going with Four in the Hand because I think it should be a little "off" for Indy. Here's a couple pics. Wearing Thrift store tie Italian silk, Todds shirt, Wested Jacket, Fed 4 http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn40/bradsburns/IMG_6375.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn40/br...

Bradsburns

leather bug indeed! This hobby just keeps dragging me deeper down the rabbit hole.

Bradsburns

I'd go with magnoli, then you add the prestige of saying "oh this whip....yea it's a magnoli"

I'm about to pull the trigger on one for that very reason.

Bradsburns

Thanks IJ exactly what I was looking for! Half Windsor has my vote.

Bradsburns

Hey Gents,

anybody know what type of knot is used on Indys tie in Last crusade. Windsor or double Windsor would be my guess.

Random question I know but I want the look.

Thanks

Bradsburns

Well, I figured why not give it a try. I had an old leather chair, some string and some time. Had to do a bit of reading with regards to stitching leather but I think considering it cost me nothing I'm quietly pleased. I mean it's far from perfect, but that just adds character and that's what Indy i...

Bradsburns

well...I think it's fair to say I have never wanted a suitcase more in my entire life than I do right now. That thing looks amazing! great inner pockets as well. Sure beats the rubbish you can buy these days. Thanks for sharing.
