For the sake of practicality (both ease of locating the parts and overall strength), over strict screen accuracy, a one-inch wide LC strap wouldn't be a bad thing. I doubt that anyone would actually notice the difference in width unless they were strictly scrutinizing your gear precisely for screen ...

Surprisingly, Holt, that LC strap isn't common when compared to the Raider's version. Getting the roller buckle is the first trick, though not so terribly difficult with a touch of imagination. The next step is that bend in the buckle. That extra step doesn't get addressed all that often. Then the f...

I'm glad to hear it! Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks for the heads up.

Now that you've matched both the Raiders and ToD bag straps are you going to take that extra step and supply that bend and complete the Last Crusade version of the bag strap?

You'll need an assortment of measurements for the shirt. I supplied the following information...

weight
height
neck measurement
shoulder width
chest
natural waistline
arm length

I also added length and belly just to be safe.

I know of at least two COW members that own the shirts that this seller offers. I am one of them. I opted to have the custom tailored shirt and it really is the best fitting shirt that I've ever owned. The shirt looks good and is flexible. And, unlike the photos of the shirt in the eBay auction, the...

This one is closer, I think...

It's a touch pricey but it looks correct.
These can be found on eBay as well. look for "Elsa lucky charm lighter"

I just received another e-mail from Gery L. Deer of Whip Artistry Studios regarding the LC gun belt. It reads as follows... "We’ve done some review of the photos of the LC belt and you are correct on the rivets used to hold the buckle and keeper to the belt. However, the buckle is not brass, it...

Lee's site is...

To order you'll have to e-mail him at ROTLA007@aol.com

a lot of the pictures on the site are down but you can see all of his straps in this thread.

Bigger than the four extra inches that Gery recommends? I'm glad to finally hear from someone that has this belt. Thanks. I was thinking of going larger than the four inches as well. Not only for the sag of the belt but also for the extra length we see hanging free from Indy's LC belt. Gery's belt d...

Now you're getting there. Even the strap width sounds correct. If you'll examine the pictures in the thread entitled "The Lee Keppler Bag Strap Pictures" you'll see that you've absolutely nailed the ToD strap! Awesome! You are so close. For the LC strap all you need to do now is bend the u...

Use a Coil Keeper from Whip Artistry Studios to hold the whip in place without slipping. It's $14.99 and it would blend in with the Raiders style gun belt. As a side note, I've posted about Whip Artistry Studios a few times. I have no connection to or affiliation with them whatsoever. Respectfully, ...

Whip Artistry Studios will make an accurate LC gun belt for you. I e-mailed them to ask about an accurate LC belt and I got the following response... "Yes we can make a customized version of the Indy belt for you. Riveting the buckle and using brass hardware shouldn’t be a problem. As for sizin...

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Enjoy Westercon.

Last night I was PMed by Lee, who had heard of my search for the LC bag strap and buckle. A number of photos on his website aren't working and so he was kind enough to send me pictures of his work. I tell you, I hit the motherload here. First, his Raiders strap... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h...

Nassik

Thank you for that answer. A strap just under an inch wide seems like a nice compromise between the different strap widths. It's unfortunate that you don't have a center bar roller buckle yet but these straps still look good. Keep up the good work!

Respectfully,
Nassik

Nassik

The buckles are looking great! I wonder if there are any plans to make the other strap buckle... the one with the roller on it.

The majority of strap makers go for the Raiders strap and it's hard to find a strap for LC or even ToD. The roller buckle is a hassle to find.

Nassik

Ah'. I was expecting a roller buckle for the LC strap. I didn't see it and so I questioned. Are the two straps the same width or is the LC one slimmer? Raiders was 1' wide and LC was 20mm (or 3/4") wide. I think that these look fantastic and I'm glad to see them. I am impressed with what I see....

Nassik

Interesting. A straightforward Raiders version of the strap. Looking at your website I see a listing for the LC version as well. Are there any pictures of it?

Nassik

1" wide? I thought the LC strap was 20mm (or 3/4") wide.

Nassik

Looking at the pictures I think that the horizontal lines are stretch marks and natural creases, not deliberate markings in the leather. Considering the stress that the leather went through during the filming of that scene the marks don't surprise me. If we're feeling particularly scrutinizing, thou...

I am bumping this thread only because I don't know if anyone realized that you can buy a LC style gun belt complete with brass hardware. The information regarding this possibility is detailed above in my last post. If I'm not supposed to bump a thread, I apologize. I saw this thread dropping lower a...

This strap isn't as easy to come by as the Raiders version is. I know that Magnoli ( http://magnolic.ipower.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=164&osCsid=7026a2ed1af3a52b77420d8621db7049 ) offers one but that it's out of stock at the moment. According to their site... "Bo...

The Work America men's boot isn't bad. Unlike the first pair, these boots do have the white threading on the boots. The pull loop isn't such a big deal and you can cut it off if you want to get a little closer to the Alden's look. Swap out the laces to get a little closer to the authentic look and i...

I'm giving this shirt a chance since it is so close to the LC shirt from what I can tell. I've ordered the custom-tailored one in the hopes that it will fit just right. I wrote to the seller about the button color issue for a LC shirt and was told that they'll use darker colored buttons for my order...

Nassik

Awesome picture, Holt. That makes it abundantly clear. I appreciate it. Here's the trick question, then... if the belt's hardware is all brass, what about the whip holder? The whip holder slips onto the belt and its loop closes with a snap around the whip. Every whip holder I've seen, again, is silv...

Nassik

Thank you Holt. I appreciate the picture. I'm starting to work on the LC look and I doubt that I ever would have caught the brass buckle. The pictures I've examined can be confusing. The buckles of the web belt and the gun belt do look similar but I just figured that it was a trick of the light. Tha...

The LC gun belt had a brass buckle? I've looked through the forums using the search function, I've been through a Google search, and I've stared at all the screen grabs that I can find of the LC gun belt. Other than in this thread I'm not finding any mention of the LC gun belt having a brass buckle....

Nassik

I'm examining this shirt and I think that it's actually quite screen accurate when you compare it to the Last Crusade shirt. For instance, look at the pocket flaps... they curve down to a point (a sharper point than on the Wested shirts). If you look at Indy's shirt in LC, particularly when he's sta...
