Your name will in time be added to that list of masterminds... :P (Excuse those trailing periods!)

Can anyone tell if they've talked with Tony about using other hides; like Goat or Horse?

Glad that the misunderstanding was cleared up Whiskyman.

I got my Thanksgiving well-wishes too.

Glad to hear things worked out. No one likes a bad taste in their mouth and I'm sure Tony wouldn't have wanted to leave it that way, hence his follow.

He's an awesome guy and great to speak with if you don't mind the crude verbiage. :[

There is nothing that is fake about Tony Nowak. He's "colorful". I'd be disappointed if I called him and found out that he "toned it down" because some Indy fan's ears were bleeding. :?

Yeah seriously. I have to admit, he sounded a bit exasperated when he called me last night to tell me he was shipping my order. He was particularly worried about how much distressing he should do on my jacket. I told him I trusted him completely and would love whatever he sent me. I'm not a nit picker and wanted it distressed a bit. His response was "I know I know but some people are so particular you never know etc etc..." Although he mentioned many times to me that he can "handle" it, I think that this stuff starts to take a toll. Not to say the guy can't deal with picky customers-it has been said before and I'll say it again: He's not a gear head.

Tony is really up for the challenge. He deals with "freaky-deak" movie people all the time, so he's used to anal-retentive types. I'm just wondering if he's having problems with some fans' interpretation of the Indy jacket. He knows what it is. He had it in hand. But what he had in hand doesn't always line up with what some people want. He can't make these things on "auto pilot". It would be taxing, I imagine.
