Gorak,

Thank you for the kind words on my avatar! I appreciate it!

While I don't know what Todd's official return policy is, his customer service is terrific! I bought a stock Raiders Jacket from his store and a few times after wearing the jacket the snap ripped off one of the pockets when opening it. I had only worn the jacket a few times, but it had been a few mo...

I am not sure how much the cost was either as it was a gift for the holiday. I would feel uncomfortable asking the girlfriend. My guess is that the estimate above is close, definitely under $100.

Sincerely,
David

I second Cowboy's mention of Delmonico's in New Haven, CT. My girlfriend sent out my Fed for a clean and re-block for as a holiday gift and they did a terrific job!

Good luck!
David

Shane, Sorry for the slow reply, I have been out of town. An irregular is a shoe with a cosmetic defect that makes them not able to be sold at full price. And Shoe Mart doesn't always have them in stock. It is possible they didn't have any when you called. It could be worth a call to make sure. Sinc...

Hey everyone, I thought I would pass this info along. The Shoe Mart in Norwalk, CT is having a January Clearance Sale. According to Alden, they are the only store that gets shipments of the irregular 405s. In fact, this is where I bought mine. NOTE: I don't know whether they have any 405s irregular ...

Paul, Thanks again for the great work on those whips! As for the WSP whips, I am not certain who made those. I bought them about 4 years ago, and at the time I didn't inquire as to who had actually made them. I didn't know as much about whips at the time otherwise I would have asked. Does it look li...

Hello, Just wanted to show you guys some photos of the two 4ft. Indy Style Whips Paul Stenhouse just created for me. They are beautiful, nice and balanced and have a great, screen accurate look to them. I need the small ones as I sometimes practice and perform indoors. They are very accurate and cra...

Now, that's natural distressing! Sincerely... David :( It was gross. I was just walking down the street and there it was, partly in my neck too. Luckily I had my Wested auth. goat on, which withstood most of the stuff. I could wipe it off easily, thanks to the leather cream. Still...it wasn't a plea...

Hemingway, Outdoor carpeting isn't a bad idea actually! For a season at an amusement park I was performing with the whips and the location I was performing in had concrete ground. I went to Home Depot and bought some outdoor carpeting and managed to get through the season (approx. 3 shows/day, 6 day...

Jim,

Since you hosted a group, let me ask you this. Are there any issues that come up regarding using the whips in a public park? Do the police or neighbors ever get freaked? lol

Sincerely,

Dalexs,

I am outside of Hartford. You?

Hello,

Here is a question for everyone. Is there a meeting place for whip enthusiasts in CT or Western MA?

I checked this site: http://whip.know-where.com/whip/

But there were no meetings in CT or Western MA. Does anyone know of any or should we CT/WesternMA folks make one?

Sincerely,
David

Das,

Were they stock jackets or custom made?

Sincerely,

Fedora,

Do you have a pic you can post of just your block? I am very interested in learning to reblock myself.

Thanks in advance!

Hehehe, just tell them it could be worse. You could be spending all that money on drugs and heavy metal CDs!

Enjoy your jacket!

Wow!!

A pair of Wells Lamont 1123's just sold for $132.50 on EBAY!!!!

Any chance that Hatsdirect could be involved by importing the felt bodies and building the hat?

They have always been interested in helping us out. Perhaps they would like to be the ones who produce the new "official" Indy fedora using the original felt bodies.

Hmmmm........

Fedora,

I am interested in going in on the hat bodies as well. Keep us posted and let us know if there is anything we can do to help in the search for pieces or parts!

Sincerely,
