Indy K's diplomatic good manners demand that I own up. as the maker of Indiana Dudley's Lost-Ark.net leathergoods, I mistakenly used a dye applicator previously used with shellac on the strap and belt I made for Indy K. as a result, the dye ran in the rain,he returned the goods, and we refunded his ...

I don't know where the bright orangy holster for Raiders comes from. It's brown. BINGO! One of my many Indygear riddles. WHY would you make any of the stuff an orangish color when it's brown as brown can be? I'd have to say that if I were to sell these items I'd do whatever it took to make them bro...

Wait, lemme get this straight, the right hand holster is the cheaper one (price wise)? The color looks to be better than the 'deluxe' one, not as red. Yep, indeed you are correct, although colour is always only a matter of dye on the right type of leather.... ID If I may jump in here, as the maker,...

Not sure what you're gaining with this product. The same effect is obtained with ANY leather strap and coatings of a leather dressing such as Pecards. Regards. Michaelson well, yes, and if all gearheads continually oil, wax, and lovingly care for any vegetable tanned leather strap this experiment i...
