I'm real happy with this buckle, the actual webbing is of great quality too, although its the wrong colour for any Jones getup. Soooo, I need to find some good webbing in the appropriate colours. I know Lantzn has another thread where he is posting his finds, if I come accross anything I'll post the...

Just picked this up on ebay for a VERY good price.

Original WWII web belt, the buckle is nicely worn without looking trashed.

I'm with Frogman on the size of the pockets, they seem a wee bit big to me. But Like I said its Mb's jacket and if he's happy with it then thats the main thing.

Got ya Daniel.

On the flap mod for westeds, Fedoraider done a pretty good job on his

It is a very nice jacket, pockets are too large for my tastes, but then its not my jacket.

Looks awsome though.

rover smith

Looks fantastic.

The holster is one of the things on my to buy list, I'll deffinatly be giving this a go.

rover smith

excelent find. I particularly like the gold glitter one

rover smith

Yup they drape in the exact same way. At a guess I'd say she probably removed a few inches of fabric here and there. If I was a little more skilled I would give it a go myself but I would likely end up ruining the trousers. I have a pair of Westeds which I will be taking to the tailor soon as I'm do...

Looking great Holt, your sister done a great job. They really remind me of this pic.

Can you shre the exact alterations she made? thanks

Thats a very good point. Is there a standard to how the dimensional cut is applied or would that vary from label to label?

rover smith

Thanks very much Jens.

Safe travels

Was there not talk of the possibility that the sweatband was removed, atleast in the SoC hat? If it was a slightly smaller size could this be a solution they came up with on location so it wasnt as snug?

So would a stiffer hat produce a more obvious brim warp?

I might be able to find more of those backpacks (the original ones, of course), if enough people are interested (it's easier to convince the military surplus retailers I have at hand to look for more than one issue ... plus it could decrease the price). Jens, you can put me down as interested if yo...

Outstanding Mitch, everything looks great

One thing though, those gloves could do with a trip down the Well Of Souls

rover smith

Looks awsome frosty! Just like its been dragged behind a truck

rover smith

He staple it to his head so it dosnt fall off, we see this in the behind the scenes extras, he also talks to the hat so it knows when to hold on tighter

rover smith

I have a freind who is a barber and he would get friends and family in the shop to practice on. I was the lucky recipeint of one of his shaves, he did ok, did catch me a few times though.

rover smith

They look well used Holt.

Are they Wells Lamont?

rover smith

Mitch, People still will get confused. The thing you must piont out in these three shots......IS do not turn the hat back before creasing. People actually do that? Did they not think "why turn the hat if I'm just turning it back?" Good step by step photo though Holt, I think that should c...

Possibly not enough demand. Pretty Much everyone getting Indy gear will buy a Mark VII, probably not the rucksack though. You can always enquire. A word of caution to everyone about the reproductions that are out there though. I've had mine a little over a year and its really starting to fall apart....

I think he means onscreen they look different colours in those scenes.

They only sell the one type on that site, just in dofferent size tubs. I've used it on a few different types of leather with good results. But Michaelson is your man for which type with which leather.

Was interesting seeing the whip used as tool for locks and such in close.

WOW! That slider look exactly like the slider found on the strap of a WW1 German gas mask can! :shock: ...Ya don't think???? :-k It is pretty close now you mention it, the ones I've seen on those cans are a little thicker, but they would probably work on a leather strap. All in all the whole packag...

I've got a Temple Of Doom, its in the basement, just through the spiked wall chamber, I have to tell the Thugees to keep the demonic chanting down sometimes.

That strap looks great! Where is it from? I'm gonna guess Wade Egan (if no one minds me guessing until rover tells us)... Not a Wade Egan buddy, I think the tell tale sign is that its not dyed through, I believe Wade does that with his. I got it from a guy in the UK who runs this site www.lost-ark....

IndyRiv was desperately trying to find more of this fabric. I corresponded with him, but never got the name of where he found the fabric. He was looking in the UK which is a good start. New York might also be a good place. He was a member here for a few months and is now off of the list. Not sure w...

Very strange how its shifting colour so dramatically.

In Knibs first pic of the shirt it looks similar to the desert grey in Magnolis post. maybe a mix up with fabric?

No- the main picture is a scene or scenes from one of the films and the props are then sort of scattered around the pages as dressing.... idol, whip, staff of Ra headpiece, diary pages, Mutts sword and knife, Sankara stones, etc. I accept what Agent5 has just said, but if that were the case WHY wou...

rover smith

So is the calander all shots of props?

rover smith

I doubt very much they would have used just the bagstrap to have him hang there, there would've n doubt been some harness involved. There was a thread that discussed this with some stills that showed what appeared to be some kind of wire on the strap.
