Hello Indy Magnoli, I have one of your bags purchased in 2019 just before the new model, after several original Mark VII getting ripped from the strap attachments and yours holding up strong after 3 years of intense use I'm never going back to the originals. I really like the old placement but it's ...

Hello everybody, it's been a while since my last login, I was surfing the web today when an add for a Herbert Johnson fedora that actually looked screen liked showed up, went into their page and saw that even a beaver felt fedora was being offered; so no surprise had to log in to Club Obi Wan to kno...

One of the things I remember since the first time I saw the movie

hard to miss.

Man your complete gear just looks awesome!

I just received the lighter yesterday, it's definitely a vintage zippo, I had my doubts due to so many fakes going around and more because of the actual price of $30 dlls with free shipping, it's a model 200 and with a little research I did it seems the screen used one was also a 200. The design see...

An unplanned purchase here on ebay from a chap in Spain. I had fancied an AB beaver hat but thought it a little out of my price range so bought an Akubra a couple of years ago and more recently a Penman Everyman, but when I saw this I had to have it. Looks to be unworn as well which is a bonus! Hav...

He should upon request, he made a special 7 footer in Roo for Anthony De Longis if I'm not mistaken.

Blake from TWC has a brand new 10ft Nolan ready to go if your friend is interested.

Here is a review made April 2016 of the zippo limited edition lighter, don't know if he is a COW member. https://youtu.be/kQGVUDNqq5Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; By the way the relicraiders 1937 version doesn't look like a SA one, the screen used one looks more like the ...

I'd interested if he's still making anything. :-k I was in contact with him last year to make up a lighter for the FL summit raffle, and then he suddenly disappeared from radar. Never did raise him again, and I've been a LONG time customer! :-s I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has been a...

I just noticed that the Zippo version has brush metal finish, while the original is polished,

think I better cancel my order

adiemilio

Does anybody know if it actually is screen accurate? I know zippo lighters have had different casing shapes during the years. If this is straight from Zippo, I doubt it's actually period accurate but just modern Zippo with the clover. but Relic Raider makes them in different vintage styles. http://...

adiemilio

Well I placed an order, I needed a lighter anyway.

Agree.

Looks great, beautiful guns by the way.

Can someone post a photo of the logo in question?

The name "Adventurebilt Henry" is all kinds of classy, while "Everyman Hats" doesn't quite have the same ring. Same exact hat, though, except for the sweatband. Some go for the quality, some go for the name, I go for both, but I really did not liked the Everyman sweatband :lol: ...

Pretty cool. Careful with that salt though. Heard a story of a guy who went swimming in the ocean with it on. Really messed up his hat. So the part where Indy jumps off the streamliner into the sea must have made that hat in LC look and do some funny things. Thanks! better be more careful next time.

adiemilio

haha, I got my AB beaver wet on saturday after going to the beach with my son, the waves splashed and got the top of the brim wet and covered with some sand, didn't worry too much but I still had my doubts because of the salt; I wasn't expecting to get it wet I didn't think the waves would splash th...

About to bash a new Fed IV Deluxe. I know I want to permanently remove the liner. Do you recommend removing the liner first? Thanks If you are going to remove it anyways why not, it will not affect the bashing process, might make it easier so you can actually reach the felt from inside and not have...

adiemilio

Looking back, I too was shocked! Firstly, that the hat did not look like it did in 'Raider's', etc. As, the movie progressed, I remember becoming more comfortable with the hat, overall, but not fully. Then there was 'Crusade ' and I really fell in love with the hat! Strange as it was in certain sce...

adiemilio

Holt you get the Raiders bash spot on!, makes me want to send you my AB.

adiemilio

No pictures at this time as I am moving and everything is packed until the week of July 11th. Got my Beaver AB with a CS bash in today. The box looked damaged and when I opened it, I freaked as the fedora was about 2-inches tall and folded over to one side. After throwing a temper tantrum as the wi...

I used to wear my Dorfman Pacific almost everywhere when I was in High School, loved riding bike with it, wearing a T-shirt, shorts and sneakers. Now that I have my AB raiders and I have to go to work in a suit I use it whenever I have the need to cover myself from the sun, you could say it is for d...

The HJ would be perfect for the Castle scene in LC I'm trying to pull off. I've had no luck trying to shrink /taper my Fed IV. I ordered the Harrison from Advintage a few days ago so maybe I'll have better luck with it. Love that lid btw! :TOH: How's the AB holding up? Looks better everyday, I like...

adiemilio

When I was in search of a HJ I also loved the picture from the Swaine Adeney, but I was not going to pay $363 dlls plus 104 dlls shipping for a factory hat that you can't even have it re-blocked someday, I went for the adVintage one, it's the same and only cost around $220 shipped, If I recall corre...

Anthony De Longis has said it a couple of times, short of a gun he can defend himself against any other weapon with a whip, It's just not sane to try it against a firearm.

adiemilio

That curling, if what I am thinking of, is nothing to worry about. The whip is not fully broken in yet and it will loosen up and be more flexible with use. Just don't force it looser with your hands though. Let it happen naturally. Yes, will certainly let it take it's natural time to loosen up :TOH...

adiemilio

Today was my first time cracking it, man was it tough, and I thought I was good at it, couldn't do a single crack only a very silent one with the SoC movements, other than that just swooshes, the final 2 ft of the braiding were curling when I picked it up, maybe since it was mainly stored by the pre...

Yes, and it's definitely much beautifull in person than what a pic can tell.

adiemilio

Very nice! I have his 8 footer and a Morgan 10 footer and I love the feel of my Del Carpio, great guy too. Yeah I was impressed with the stiffness and the way it rolls out something I had only seen on video, not as loose and floppy as some pictures made me think it would be. Makes me wonder just ho...

adiemilio

Hey guys, just got this in the mail yesterday from Trinity Whip Co. it's a Del Carpio 9ft Raiders from around 2011, still date to be confirmed, and I have to say I'm amazed with the quality, I have never owned a whip like this, my first whip was a Mexican/noodle/plastic-cable-core/masking tape wrapp...

I can always send out my portable conformator to not only get a accurate reading of your head size but also shape.

Well it's been almost a month since I received my hat, was not happy with the amount of turn it had so I added like an inch more (the back-end of the middle piece of the ribbon ends aligned where the front of my ear starts, I think that is SA). But somehow I see the hat gain some slight taper when v...

adiemilio

Just gets better and better every time I wear it. I have Rolled it up and jammed it in a backpack. I have used it to collect water and used it as a pillow. It's versitile. Oh and it keeps the sun off your neck too. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b589/gunner25111/Adventurebilt/AA4D40F6-CA8E-4E0...

Looks much better, did you followed John Penman's video on doing a Raiders bash?? No, I just did it from looking at photos of Indy's hat online. Can you give me advice on how to make the side without the bow look a bit straighter like the other side? First I would recommend starting with this video...

Belloq was in some way fond of Indy, he told him they were very much alike, and it wouldn't take long for him to follow his same dark steps. :Dietrich: Just that he did things to provoke more hate of Indy towards him instead of to corrupt him, some kind of Darth Vader trying to convert Luke in a sor...

adiemilio

As Michaelson has pointed out many times - men back in the day would rotate their hats. A new hat was for special occasions until it was worn and then it became the daily/work hat..... which for me makes the most sense for Indy as well considering he wears a brown fedora for atleast 40 years (or lo...

adiemilio

They were taken from him by Belloq at the beginning of the film. We see him unroll another revolver he takes from his desk and toss another whip in his suitcase in his room when Brody comes to see him to tell him the Government wants him to go after the Ark.

Thanks

, I wore it a little bit and noticed it got better, then just sprayed some room temperature water on the remaining wrinkles and passed my fingers over them to even it out.

Hey John, from the date of pre-order of the first run to the ETA, not when you finally have your stock ready. I was too eager and had to order the quickest option

It looks pretty good, i'm working right now on fixing a mexican plastic-cable-core with rope masking tape thong and leather overlay, to full leather

I don't expect a good quality whip from it but at least it will improve.
