Hi there Bear,

Do you make these whips for sale by any chance?

Best wishes,
Stefan

A reference image of Indy using said pocket on screen.

Of course there these two images of pocket that make me think it is a regular slit pocket during the flash back scene. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240716/bc250e3a921d64deb955f398714c258e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240716/ceaad743414fac8b8ecfeca41a13e80a.jpg https://uploads.tapatal...

This is really interesting stuff Mike, it would appear that there is two pocket styles in DoD then. In 1969, it appears the jacket has the regular slit pocket. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240716/4f5fb4a718ad14d3aad6afc62d06027f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240716/33097e72b5d5d441b61...

I had a few thoughts

Mail call from PenitentManWorks! Just got my hands on the new Dial of Destiny bag strap and whip holder from Kyle, leather smith extraordinaire. Let me tell you, these accessories are truly remarkable! They're an updated version that's incredibly accurate when compared to the screen-used props that ...

Stefan Hills

Thought I would share my Nowak. When I had this jacket made the wish was that someday Harrison Ford would sign it…and so preparation met opportunity.

Stefan Hills

If you're looking for another some top-notch handmade gear, I would check out PenitentManWorks by Kyle Nibbling based in Texas. Personally, I've bought a bunch of stuff from him, and let me tell you, his work is absolutely mind-blowing. I have yet to see a more accurate screen looking strap, look at...

Stefan Hills

I see that the buckle debate seems to have been settled, but is it commonly accepted that the lining was polyester/satin and not cotton now? I can only speak from personal experiences. Having seen and handled both a screen used TOD (Noel Howard) and LC jacket (Smithsonian) I can confirm that cotton...

Stefan Hills

Michaelson look way! Kyle from Penitent Man Leather does it again. I had a Wested Last Crusade Authentic Lamb sitting in the closest for years and I never got around to distressing it because I did not have the skills to make it look natural and yet very recognizable to the distressing seen on a Cru...

Stefan Hills

Harrison’s height being less than 6 feet needs to be put to rest once and for all. Regardless of age and loss of peak height or back injuries, the man is still at least 6 feet. I am exactly 6 foot, and the shoes I wore had a 1 inch heel. We can debate if we see 6 foot, one inch or more but certainly...

Stefan Hills

I recently received a PenitentManLeather strap and the strap is perfection in terms of accuracy and build. Todd’s is good enough but for little more you get all the little details that the screen straps have. Plus, Kyle has been including a whip holder with the initial orders from COW members. So tw...

I too just put in a order, for what is called the Legacy strap. I PM’d him and while I couldn’t use the preferred payment (for me) PayPal, he doesn’t take it. I’m going all Michealson on this one and mailing a MO :CR: He’ll be sending some pictures. I thought the Raiders strap was confirmed not to ...

Very rarely does a hand crafted product move me to take the time to share my thoughts about it. However, every now and then, a few exceptional discoveries come along that warrants such reflection. One such item I purchased recently is none other than the Indiana Jones satchel bag strap made by fello...

Stefan Hills

Were the Sam Browne buttons exclusive to the Raider's strap? I'll be honest, the Chicago screws are a much better way to secure the strap and I'll be sticking with those regardless, but I've also always preferred the darker Temple/Crusade strap with the roller buckle. It looks to be a Sam Browne bu...

Stefan Hills

Will do! Do you offer an Indy 5 strap Kyle? Keep up the great work!

Stefan Hills

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 custo...

Ford is 6ft and probably a little less bare foot now...

Yep that’s correct...6 buttons...some screen used Shirts from Raider’s.

“'Admitted'? - strange word to use.” What’s so strange about the word choice?

Stefan Hills

Well you can blame Peter for the confusion. HE told us it was cowhide on several occasions. He once told a member it was horse hide, so the confusion can be understood. Regards! Michaelson Yes, but he was only able to do this because the jacket hide looked so different from previous lamb. I find it...

Harrison and Vic wearing the same Hero jacket...the same jacket in the Smithsonian. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200703/421a528ddbe44165e1642c1473995fce.jpg Steven wearing the Second Tank jacket worn by Vic as well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200703/724e447930454e0e6cf5b27ed736ac68.jpg

Peter was asked this question and he said-"In the good old days when men were men and only shaved on Saturday nights before hitting the town,there was a tannery called 'Turn Leathers' at Tordmorden in Yorkshire UK,the leather they produced was Lambskin,not the supple skin of today but the thic...

Stefan Hills

The lambskin jacket of the Last Crusade jacket in the Smithsonian feels light yet very solid. The Lambskin used is not as fragile as would be expected. The testimony being that there are multiple examples of jackets that have survived the rigors and abuse they were put through during filming. Consid...

You are a true detective in Indy jackets!

Many thanks sir!

That's interesting too. I didn't know about the Temple jackets being used. Did any of them make it back to the Archives after all that destructive stunt work? The short answer is yes. There are survivors in the archives. The best example of a TOD jacket being used in LC is the Anthony Powell jacket...

Got my buckles today. I popped out the middle bar no problem. Just some needle nose pliers and elbow grease. Will take the hack saw to the wide tri-glide on my Kelso tomorrow. Excited!

Something that really stood out to me was when Indy was fighting General Vorgel on the tank, he seems to have had time to change his tan...

Visually, the two prong buckles are slightly thicker on the side where the country of origin is stamped on the buckle rather than the traditional buckles which are even on both sides.

Stefan Hills

My original post clearly states that one should stop focusing on the country of origin stamp on the buckle and focus on the style of buckle. Instead an attempt was made trying to make the case that SOLIDE was only stamped on Temple jackets and BRITISH stamped on buckles on Raider’s jackets. The orig...

Stefan Hills

This is an awesome find! :clap: Just something I was thinking about. The picture you posted is from a cut scene from the Blu ray Raiders documentary and I noticed that in that cut scene the jacket seems to look a lot shinier that it does in the movie. My thought is that Harrison was wearing a diffe...

Stefan Hills

To say that buckle in the image is not from a Raider’s jacket is to say that both the archivist of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and Brandon Alinger (who have intimate knowledge with the collection) are both wrong. Whether you want to believe or not what has been verified by very credible source...

Stefan Hills

Here we go again...So then what type of buckle is used then? The director of the cultural division of the National Museum of American History as a favor for a curator who is a friend of mine, reached out to the archivists of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and confirmed my theory on the buckles an...

Stefan Hills

Ah I see it now, which hat would you say was used for that exhibit? Last Crusade hat from Smithsonian as well, if I'm not mistaken. The hat and the jacket were taken out of view when the National Museum of American History did their big renovation. Been in storage or on loan since. The hat, jacket ...

Stefan Hills

Hi there, Does any of you fine folks have a cotton Wested Indy jacket? Trying to see what there were reviews, opinions or pictures of it since I cannot seem to find any apart from the causal mention of it. A curious mind wants to know and I am sure a good too here too, Any help would be great, and m...

Stefan Hills

Congratulations on a beautiful jacket. With regards to the collar, in order to avoid any discrepancies with to the shape and width, the pattern was made by directly tracing the collar from the screen used “Tank” jacket in the Smithsonian.

Wear it in the best of health,

Stefan

Stefan Hills

That’s a promotional jacket created by Wested and supplied to Berman’s which then found it’s way to Gary Kurtz. The museum of pop culture in Seattle, displays it as a screen used Indiana Jones jacket from Kurtz collection which did include a collection of Star Wars props since Kurtz was a producer o...

Since we are on the topic of Jim Steranko, is there a site or somewhere prints can be purchased of all 4 concept art paintings? I have seen the popular one with Indy in the desert but the background color is wrong and the hat is always cut off. Any suggestions would be greatly appropriated. Best wis...

Stefan Hills

On a side note, though typically he does not pose for pictures as a rule,Steranko could not say no to the charms of my wife, Diana or as Steranko put it “I only pose with beautiful women.” https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190829/325c8593108a7e03133c12865faf798c.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

"Mulceber"]Really interesting. Do you think you could briefly state exactly what your conclusions are? I'm afraid you lost me part of the way through. If I'm understanding you right, you're saying that the Raiders jacket had a poly blend lining and similar "toothed" buckles to th...
