Heck, they're not working for me at all, so I'm a bit puzzled too.

Now that's weird Michaelson, because I can see them, but when I posted them, they went to right.
So I'm not if that's what Texan Scott is talking about.

...I saw your attempt at posting those photos, Croft, and thought you might need a tweak or two, ha! Hope you don't mind.

I don't know if Indy would have used that model of snow blower, Croft...

You might need to pick up one of these:

I bet he'd prefer yours, though, for sure!

He found it in Nepal. Abner was tired of helping his daughter clean a pathway to her bar so he invented the contraption. She's been drinking people drunk ever since to pay for the darn thing!

Hey , Marion's adventures would have made a great spin-off !

FYI, they're showing up for me today. Must have been a bird frozen to the lines down here yesterday blocking the photos.

Yeah, that snow blower thing is just not SA!

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 10:09 am

I have one of those contraptions to, just find this one a little more efficient.

We didn't take to many close up's of the "undertones" ThatManFromRio, but here's another shot taken at the same time.
This is my US Wings SL, I put this one through the ringer, to big for me so I soaked it down, and through it into the dry on med heat. Shrunk it down and gave it a nice worn look, just like I'd taken sand paper to it.
Oh and yes I the gave a heavy coat of Picard's to soften it up.

Looking great there, Croft.

I've also got a US wings SL (US), and I've got to say, so far it's my favorite Indy jacket (current inventory includes:3 Westeds, 2 US wings).

Texan Scott · Post by **Texan Scott** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 2:36 pm

Why is Croft right hand justified...

You must be wearing a right handed cardigan, Croft? Either that or the weight of the blower tilted things askew? This is what happens when a guy uses non-SA related items....it just messes up the whole Indy universe.

Got my MOTB Cardigan/scarf this week from Indy Magnoli. I LOVE it. The sweater is so unbelievably comfortable, and warm! The color and look is spot on for both the sweater and scarf. I will take some better pictures on Sunday. But here's a quick pic I took while watching the Hobbit on this cold winter night

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 4:56 pm

I am so jealous,

love his sweater, one day I'll pull the trigger.

By the way what was the turn around time.

Lovely sweater, where in great health and warmth.

Croft

chuck2003 · Post by **chuck2003** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 5:14 pm

Yeah he got both of them to me very quickly. I Put my order in January 3rd, I got the scarf on the 17th and the sweater was delivered on the 28th.So he made and shipped the sweater to my door in less then a month. The sweater is SO comfortable. I cant really explain it but the material its made from is so soft. Wish I could get bed sheets made from it haha. And while it is an expensive sweater it actually is one of the cheaper Indy items I've bought so I guess I cant complain. Well worth the money IMO

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Mon Feb 03, 2014 2:00 am

Looking good and that was serious fast turn-around.

Looks like the knit on yours is much tighter than mine. I look forward to closer pictures.

These are expensive for a sweater, but like Chuck said, compared to other pieces of 'name brand' gear (as opposed to the pennies on the dollar you could spend on 'close enough' options), the sweaters are in the same ballpark. And well worth it to me to get the exact sleeve and body length I wanted.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

Slight update.... I've only managed to wear my sweater a few times. This morning I picked up my sweater to put it on and I noticed there was a hole in the seam that connect the collar to the main body of the sweater. It's not a high stress area like the armpits/shoulders and I only wore the sweater a few times. I've only had it for less then a week so I really don't think this was caused by me. I messaged Indy Magnoli and explained the situation. He mentioned they have to open the package and inspect it when it comes through customs and It may have been damaged then. Now that I think of it there was a hole in the bag when I received the package but at the time I thought nothing of it. Indy messaged me back right away and said to take to a tailor and have it fixed. He also mentioned that he would in fact reimburse me for the cost of the repair. Will be taking the sweater to get fixed tomorrow morning will update once I get it back. That being said I would like to say how much I appreciate the fact that Indy firmly stood behind his work. I don't know how the hole occurred, whether or not it happened when it was being made, during shipping or something that I caused. But it's really great to see him stand behind his work and offer to reimburse me. Definitely will be buying more from Indy in the future.

Well finally got my sweater back from the tailor and it looks great. Cant tell there was ever a hole....And heres a few pics I took today

I don't want to sound like an old fart (I'm only 41) but we never had a snow blower (I used to live in New York area) but god bless you Indiana Croft for having one !! LZeitgeist, that snow shovel you got there I had one slightly bigger and I used it for two things the snow and the Sunday morning dump my German Sheperd dog Shamus used to leave when I was a teenager !! Ohh yeah Sundays were special days at our house !! Lol !!

Anyone know a knitter?

Did anyone snag one of these before they were gone?

Just wandered into the MotB episode here at COW, and love that look on Indy. Fortunately AE still had one in my size and I snagged it! Would have liked to get my hands on one of the Duluth ones, but I guess that's what I get for being late, heh.

lantzn · Post by **lantzn** » Fri Mar 07, 2014 5:35 pm

I bought this pattern from the Etsy vendor and found a lady who is an amazing knitter. Any ideas what yarn and color I should have her do this in?

After finding the 7 parts to the MotB episode on YouTube I just spliced them together and exported to Apple TV settings. I looked forward to watching it with these Indy "bookends."

I think it might be almost impossible to find the brand of sax he's playing, but given the small size of the horn, I would say it's a curved soprano sax....

Just noticed that I can't find my MOTB cardigan. I think I got it from Land's End., but they don't offer it anymore. Anyone know where to get a SA one? I've already looked at Magnoli's.

lantzn · Post by **lantzn** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 3:37 pm

I picked this pattern up from Etsy I was thinking of having a good friend of mine knit it up for me. Does anyone have an idea of what color and type of yarn to use?

Why does the Magnoli Wyoming Cardigan not allow you to select a size? Large, Medium, XL...etc?

Most of Magnoli's clothing items are made to order per your measurements.

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:38 pm

Yep, you fill in a sizing form and the sweater is made to measure.

I have one and was able to get the length custom made so it doesn't hang out the bottom of my Indy jackets when I wear them together.

I found this at a local Dillard's Department store. It's Roundtree and Yorke and was priced at $79. I think this was the easiest found piece of Indy gear I have bought so far and it's really comfortable.

I got the Duluth sweater today and ordered my normal size of 2xl. It is pretty roomy and looks like it would be comfortable. The length is too long to look right for me with my Indy jackets. By itself with the fedora, it looks fine. I will most likely just box it up and mail it to my Father in WV.

The 3XL Olive/Brown What Price Glory (WPG) I have which fits like a 2XL looks much better with the Indy jackets. It is about the same length as the jackets and the sleeves don't need rolled up. It is also more of a body conforming shape but not tight at all. I think wearing the sweater over the collar of the jacket works best given the cut of the jackets but that is a personal choice.

Recent trip to the bitter northern realm of Calgary - of course I took my gear just to be able to wear the cardigans...

Old Navy:

Duluth Trading:

Both size L, but the Duluth one is substantially longer and bulkier. Lined and kept me warm, but poked out from inside the jacket everywhere.

If I actually had the need to wear a cardigan on a regular basis I might acquire a Duluth size M. (Anyone want to trade?)

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 1:58 am

Looking good! I like the addition of the boots.

Those Duluth sweaters are nice, but they do run fairly huge-ish.

I also picked up a new brown Chaps Shawl-Collar Cardigan on EBay for under 30 dollars. It has the look and is thinner which fits under the jackets much better. Cotton which is a plus for washing.

So would you order a size smaller then?

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 10:51 am

I have not owned one, but every person who has has commented they are very roomy. Some have gone down a size, especially if you want to layer under a jacket.

I received one for Christmas, and it is roomy. However, in my case I have been wearing it as a coat. Sometimes with just a shirt, and sometimes with a tshirt and a sweater. I do not intend wearing one under a jacket or a coat

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 11:26 pm

Could you provide the size you have and the following measurements:

Pit-to-pit
Sleeve
Back length

That'll be hugely helpful to the membership.

Indiana Jeff

trancoss · Post by **trancoss** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:21 pm

Duluth trading size L:
Pit-to-pit 23"
Sleeve, inside: 19"
Outside: 26"
Back length: 28"
I hope this helps
