Nice bag

Hi Finding correct Temple of Doom bag strap has been a thing for me for some time now. The first thing is correct leather. This strap looked so smooth and thin and yet strong. The color appears to be very dark brown so it mostly looks black. tod bag.PNG It even gives me a feelings that some straps i...

Paul Stenhouse was last active in 2018 so you probably won't get an answer. You can just copy the tutorial from his original posts and paste into MS word document :TOH: Too bad to hear that someone was not active for that long. I hope they are OK. Were there any pictures in the document ? Because, ...

By the way, if anyone wants the whole word file, I'll ship it out. Can I post a personal e-mail address here?

Hi
Is this email address still correct ? Can I send you email to get these instructions in a word file ?

Cheers,

Thanks for advice.
Also I noticed there are good threads here on COW about making whips. I will check them out.

Jonesy Jr.

You won't get a quality whip for that amount of money. Only a costume piece like Todd's costumes whip or Magnoli clothiers whip. If you want a quality whip you either need to save more money or get a Paracord whip. I guess I will wait for now :) Maybe I will even get a piece of real leather for way...

I was browsing the web about Indy bag and I found this: https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/-sankara-stone-and-pyrotechnic-bag-from-indiana-jones-and-the-temple-of-doom/a/997009-1232.s It's an auction listing for "Sankara" stone and pyrotechnic bag from Indiana Jones and ...

Jonesy Jr.

These look very good, but too expensive right now. I was thinking about up to 200 euro. It does not need to be very high quality. I would only like that it's 12 plait and that it has it's core made from strong rope.

Jonesy Jr.

Hello
Does anyone know some whip makers inside European Union ?
I would like custom made Indy style leather bullwhip.
The price should not be expensive.

Jonesy Jr.

My two cents, and I think you’ve chosen wisely, but there’s a thread regarding a pocket inside the jacket where he puts it. Been awhile, but I don’t think he ever puts in the jacket. But hey, there’s a reason for watching it again. Croft :mrgreen: Thank you. Yes he puts it into jacket in the prolog...

Hi Michaelson

Could you post fresh link for this. This one does not work anymore.

It works. Thank you very much.

Thanks to everyone posting here. I have decided that I will carry this bag with it's original web strap. I have been carrying two MKVII replicas with web straps for years now, so now I will just switch to original. The breaking point in deciding was because in DoD the Antikythera fits into the bag, ...

Jonesy Jr.

So I have decided to buy an original W&G MKVII bag. This thing is beautiful and well preserved and the one I got looks straight out of Dial of Destiny, including correct studs. Here is my dilemma: I bought this bag so I will wear it, not for display. But now that I got it I noticed military stam...

Jonesy Jr.

That's actually very plausible theory.

Jonesy Jr.

Prettt sure the rumor started because of when the cross is grabbed from the bag in LC. Realistically, they probably used more than one manufacturer. I’d just focus on the color and studs for accuracy. You are right about using bags from multiple manufacturers. I doubt prop team have paid any attent...

Jonesy Jr.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums. I have been thinking about buying Waring & Gilbow Ltd. MKVII bag. But there are also lots of bags stamped with other makers that I can get for half the price. Waring & Gilbow Ltd. brand is considered the one that was used in the movie, but could someon...

Lightning wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2025 5:03 pm I certainly can't see anything that looks like a makers stamp in the Cross scene.

I agree with you. Only thing I noticed in the Cross scene was that round brass ring inside the bag, which is also present on some of the bags made by other makers too.

Jonesy Jr.

Anyone ? Some proof ?

Jonesy Jr.

Wow, good job. I especially like that idea about flap on small pocket. This is practical.

Jonesy Jr.

I don't know about thin horsehide but I own S&J ToD in thin cowhide. It feels and drapes like lambskin. Very light leather. About thin horsehide, just send email to Diego from Steele and Jones and he will be happy to answer to any of your questions.

Jonesy Jr.

S&J jackets are worth the wait. You won't be disappointed.

Jonesy Jr.

Very good stitching job. This type of stitching takes patience to do and because you did it, you will love your bag even more.
I did not have patience to do this on any of my bags so I just burned frayed edges with lighter, but it does not look that good and clean as yours.

Jonesy Jr.

Tomorrow I'm going to a local tailor shop to discuss improving this sewing and protecting the inside edges from fraying 🤠. I'll take the opportunity to use the return for the repair. I just preferred the Wested to the Magnolia because of the hardware without the black paint - nickel/chrome plating ...

Jonesy Jr.

That's a great looking bag. Yours looks like the one from Dial of Destiny. You can spray paint metal lanyard disc darker. This sewing defect you mentioned can easily be fixed. If you do not own sewing machine you can ask your local shoemaker. It will cost you less than sending the bag back or buying...

Jonesy Jr.

That would be great. I'm looking forward to your post.

Jonesy Jr.

Hi I have a dilemma between the Magnolia reproduction and the Wested Leather reproduction. Which one offers the best quality, the best reproduction of the original? Which one will just be better? Magnoli I know has something plastic, probably a rivet. Wested has very few reviews but looks better......

As far as I know, not really. This has become my "grail" in the last years... I want a full metal M1917 replica, with at least some moving parts. I have the HG131 airsoft revolver, but it is mostly plastic. The Tanaka replica is also heavy weight ABS, but it weighs around 600 grams so rea...

Hello As the post subject is; Is anyone inside European Union making M1917 revolver prop replica ? Not functioning one, besides maybe hammer moving and drum spinning like Denix Webley replica does ? But what I want is that it "feels" and looks like real, not like plastic toy. Thank you Reg...

Hello everyone I know this post should probably be posted in prop making threads, but today I want to share something special with you.

Dear Indy Fans, It is difficult to announce, but Azuma Indy shirt is now becoming a part of history.

The studio owner, who has been in the fashion industry for ove...

There were probably multiple bags used for filming. I noticed nickel D-ring in Cairo scene too. And small nickel O-ring during the scene where Indy is putting bag of sand into the bag. In Temple of Doom in the scene where they are on the plane the O rings also looked like nickel, but when Indy is pu...

Jonesy Jr.

What I find fascinating and will admit am slightly embraced is missing the evidence that Indy’s bag strap had been infused together with two riffle slings. The behind scenes picture I am sure we all have seen for years and yet missed a clue in plain sight. Well done knibs7, will be touch for a cust...

Jonesy Jr.

I still believe that the strap used in Raiders was simply just one rifle sling. They were examples of K98 leather slings (and other rifles) that were up to 75" long. It's unlikely that prop team would waste time fusing two straps together than simply going with something else. Those two horizon...

Jonesy Jr.

So I'm considering ordering a S&J jacket after seeing so many rave reviews over the years, but I'm curious- does anyone know if the prices on their website are up to date? And especially with their take on the CS and DoD jackets, was S&J able to source the same leather types from the same m...
