Thanks! It makes me want to have a cup of coffee. Just kidding. It's alright. Sorry to hear about the grooves. When you get a chance, could you post a pic of the bag strap? I see what you mean about the whip being coiled very loosely. It's not like that on mine. Maybe Wade made a mistake? Are you sure you can't coil it tighter? Just making sure.

The coffee smell still isn't out of mine...!
Oh right, the bag strap. Completely escaped me. *coming soon*
If I coil it tighter I can't snap the button on... I told him at the beginning of the process that my whip is 10 ft. Maybe he forgot, or got it mixed up with one for an 8 ft'er. I've written him about it, I'll have to see what he says.

You've got a bad groove on your holster and a hula hoop in your whipholder! ;D What are you going to do about it?

The coffee smell ain't outta mine either! It even had a tea smell after I soaked it in tea. I guess we'll have to go around smelling like coffee then. ;D Nah I'm sure it'll come out.
Let us know what Wade says when he gets back to you.

PJ, I'll get down with it, and then roll with it. ;D Here's the promised pic of the strap, along with the rest of the gear. Including the web belt, which looks exactly like the other two I have, just a little more beat up.

;D
I just have a thought... Is there a way to have the whip coiled as tightly as possible, but the last loop uncoiled? Do you understand what I'm talking about?

I see what you mean. That's not a bad idea at all! I'll try that out. Of course, I'd still rather have one that fits.
Edit: Just tested it. It works all right, but the free loop doesn't look very good. But I found another way that works. The super holder goes around the whip twice. What I did, was to wrap all coils in the first round, and in the second, I only wrap one, the thickest, which is where the handle is. It's held in just fine this way, it just takes a lot more time to do it this way. Not very graceful, and no quickdraw. ;D

Thanks Noah! I'll be sure to post picture when (fingers crossed) I get it. I haven't heard back from Wade yet...
PJ, will do! Can't wait!
irishindyfan, is yours a custom off the rack? I wish they'd been that fast with my jacket, too.

Hey Max,
No, my jacket wasn't custom made at all. I just selected my size (44) and clicked "buy". LOL. Maybe I should have got it custom made. Would have made all this waiting more worthwhile. LOL.

I guess if there were grooves, they were very faint. Todd's strap has very faint grooves. They aren't really noticeable. On mine, they actually seemed to have faded on the front of the strap. Now it's even harder to see.

Been there, done that. ;D That's exactly why I ordered grooveless. I just can't see them anywhere! Maybe when the Blu-ray comes.
As I wrote, I've heard from the maker of the strap (through Kim) that there ARE grooves. I've seen the ones on Kim's and they are VERY light. I can see how they'd be invisible on screen when distressed.
I'm sorry to have caused you to have to spend more money. On the bright side, can't have enough Indy gear. ;D

Isn't being a stickler for detail expensive? haha I'm the same way. Constantly updating and changing my gear accordingly.

Yeah, all it takes is to sell the less accurate stuff so you can buy the more accurate stuff, no matter how expensive it is. At least you guys are actually getting income in the first place. Steven

Prices increase exponentially with screen accuracy. Those last 5% of accuracy can easily double the price. ;D Well, PJ, on the plus side, you have a lot of time now to research and make sure that your first purchase will be your last. On the other hand, we all know there's no such thing as a last purchase...!
