Awesome, congrats!

Tinplatejeff

Oh, I like that. Looks fantastic.

I may have to order one someday!

Tinplatejeff

I recommend you contact Steele & Jones for a jacket. They customize everything to fit you exactly based on your measurements.

Tinplatejeff

If you're unhappy, why not reach out to Magnoli directly? He's incredibly supportive when it comes to trying to rectifying issues. Sure, valid suggestion. I’m not trying to bash the product. Like I said for the price it’s a decent holster. Just wanted to put up a review for others to see. I’ll be s...

Tinplatejeff

You might have seen in the vendor announcements that the Magnoli holsters are back in stock. I decided to order one since the price was reasonable at US$45.00 plus shipping. It's decent considering the price, but the color is a bit off and it's two toned. Which doesn't seem to match the color pictur...

Tinplatejeff

Oh wow.

How are they breaking in for you? I’ve had a pair for a year and a half now. Love them more everyday.

Tinplatejeff

Cool video, thanks for posting it.

Tinplatejeff

I love anything and everything Steranko!

This is amazing, cool idea!

Merry Christmas

It’s a bit better, but still scoots around a little. Looks so gorgeous I’m OK with it.

Merrry Christmas!

Tinplatejeff

Wore my S&J jacket & AdVintage SoC down to Texas to visit relatives for Christmas.

Tinplatejeff

OK, the hat came with some cork spacer material.

I’ll add that and see if it helps.

Thanks.

Tinplatejeff

So I’m having some issues with mine now that I’ve been wearing it. The fit when I first put it on is great. Not too tight and not too loose, spot on. However, as I wear the hat I can feel it start to move, the front of the hat slips slowly upward and the rear of the hat drops down. I have to constan...

Tinplatejeff

For what it’s worth I vote for CS as well.

Enjoy!

I requested that Thomas go easy on the stiffnener. It is super soft and the brim is floppy and supple The brim doesn't warp like pictured until it's on my head or a hat jack.

Mine arrived also!

I sent him that pic of yours as well. The droop and sweep of the brim is great on it.

Mine should arrive by the end of the week. I’ll also post pics.

Tinplatejeff

Tinplatejeff

I see, interesting, thanks.

Tinplatejeff

I’m waiting for mine to arrive too.

So what’s the story behind the bow and ribbon defect?

I didn’t order that, did I miss out on something?!?

Here’s mine.

Tinplatejeff

Yea, the screen accurate distressing is amazing! And the Ribby Merino leather is just glorious! As far as the length, I think it's perfect, what you see is a factor of my body shape. Trousers tend to ride up high on me. My only complaint is the sleeves are just slightly too long. Not too worried abo...

After nearly a month in transit my new S&J jacket arrived this week! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4546/27101171279_35faaf6615_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4518/37991376095_cbf88bac3b_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4565/37991375595_5584ab2c55_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4...

Tinplatejeff

Awesome and happy birthday!

I have the WPG pants as well and love them. Took mine to the local seamstress and had the military hem done, turned out perfect.

Tinplatejeff

I took advantage of adVintage's recent 20% off for COW members. I ordered their handmade SOC in 100% beaver from Thomas. And it is ready to ship! I think it looks pretty great, what do others think of it? Any suggestions to adjusting the bash or let him ship as is? https://farm5.staticflickr.com/453...

Tinplatejeff

Looks intriguing for the price. It says they were made for WPG by Steve McColgan.

I was not familiar with his company, but looks like he makes a really nice A-2 Jacket sold by SM Wholesale, see:

It’s so awesome that someone with access to the archives is here. I just want to say thanks for your insight and willingness to share your thoughts!

Tinplatejeff

Thanks everybody!

Will update when it arrives.

Diego from S&J just sent me pics of my finished jacket for approval! What do people think? Looks like a pretty accurate Raiders?! My choices for it are: CAZADORA '36 -Raiders- Leather "Dark Brown Ribby Merino" Size: 44 (slightly roomier in chest) Screen accurate distressed Screen accur...

Tinplatejeff

Ok so who makes a good belt and double wrap whip holster? I’m noticing a lot of these vendors are gone, outdated sites and don’t make it easy to contact them. You would think that they would make things simple as possible for a potential customer to make a purchase. For USA maker look up Brian Lalo...

Tinplatejeff

Lots of great vendors out there.

I’ve been very impressed with the ordering process with Steele & Jones.

It’s truly a custom jacket with the pattern made just for you based on the dimensions you send them.

I should have my jacket next month.

According to this thread WhipWorks is the same as member ecwhips, though the thread is over a decade old so I can't say so conclusively. http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18350&p=257722&hilit=whipworks#p257722" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Regards, I...

This looks nice, nylon paracord Indy style bullwhip.

Anyone familiar with the maker?

Seems like quality construction from the description.

Thoughts?

Thanks everybody, super excited, can’t wait!

Tinplatejeff

Just got an email from Diego with S&J tonight.

He will start cutting the leather tomorrow and Saturday it goes to the workshop for assembly!

Tinplatejeff

Lol, I think you're still split. Here's how it breaks down, as far as I'm concerned: Garrison - the shape of the hat is SPOT ON for Cairo. You put it on and it just has that shape. The problem, imo, is that the color is off. The Raiders hat in direct sunlight looks VERY tan, with some red undertone...

Never heard of him before this thread, but interesting back story and makes some nice lids:

All cotton or cotton body and satin sleeves?

Tinplatejeff

Thanks everyone for their opinions!

I will primarily wear with long sleeve cotton shirts.

Certainly with my Azuma Indy long sleeve cotton shirt.

And if Harrison Ford could do it with cotton sleeves and shirts, what excuse do we have?!

Still thinking ...

Tinplatejeff

What do people prefer for their jacket lining?

A). All cotton lining including sleeves.

Or

B). Cotton body with satin sleeves.

All cotton is screen accurate for Raiders and most durable.

Satin sleeves provide more comfort.

I'm trying to decide for my S&J order.

Thanks.

Tinplatejeff

Anyway, some issues I have with the jacket: - rough stitching in some parts, like the straps - rough cut straps (perhaps also because of the leather weight) - the zipper is sewn carelessly - when wearing it I find it nigh to impossible to close the upper snap of the zipper flap (maybe it will get b...
