size of indybag
what are the dimensions of the mkvii?
i looked in a disposals store and found a gas mask haversack which is quite similar in look to the mkvii. but it didnt have the drain holes but other than that...looked good.
however it seemed a little small to be very practical. Are mkvii big enough to fit an a4 book in the bag? and is there any way to get the leahter strap cheap? anyone got any sources? by cheap i mean under $20 australian (maybe about $15 US)

here you can find the dimensions of the MK VII: http://www.indygear.com/gear/bag.shtml
If you are willing to pay 15 bucks for a nice strap, why not pay 19,99 $ and get one from Texas Action Gear? the problem with that are the shipping costs...
Or try to find a nice leather strap near you.

Hey,
The MKVII is pretty much useless for anything other than small stuff. Books, not really....DVD's you can jam like 4 in there though.
I really wish someone would design a "laptop" type bag with the MKVII look, or at the very least donate me an old beat up one that I can take apart and adjust the pattern to make a bigger bag.
I'm sure you can find some posts around here about what people carry in thier MKVII's...some people jam quite a bit in there.
As for the strap...the TAG strap is really good. I have one on my MKVII and it's pretty sweet.

True the mark VII is a bit small. I bought a repo from WhatPriceGlory. I was a bit disappointed at first at the dimensions when I opened the box (although I knew going in what the size was). However, now that I've been using it I love it. My messenger bag is plenty big but I tend to cram it full of @#$% and regret it when my back hurts when I get home. Thus th Mark VII keeps me honest on the amount I put in.
Deconstructing it and making one to your own specs is a good plan and looking at the rectangle construction, it should be pretty easy to do. Anyone know a good source for the canvass?

So they ended up using a Mk VI in ToD instead... a "roomier" bag, less compartments...Jpevh wrote:Yeah for ToD, i dont think that the MkVII had the compartments, I mean 3 Shankara stones in one bagAndiana148 wrote:The ones used int he films, I think, were made bigger. They just look it to me.
There was a custom-made front for the Sankara pyrotechnics on the Mk VI in the bridge scene, but other than that, the bags in the movies are normal-sized to my eyes at least... what alterations are you suggesting were made to them?

As Jpevh wrote, there could have been NO way to fit the three Shankara Stones in a regular MK VII.
I think what they did was just make it a little bigger in width.
In the Indiana Jones Stunt Show at WDW, the stunt Indy had a HUGE MK VII repro. It has drain-holes and everything.
Maybe Lucasfilm has this large MK VII making company that they aren't letting public.....who knows?
