I have pictures where you can clearly see it.
There is one weird thing about the pleats that you'll see too.
I'll post soon.

I would love to see those pictures TheMechanic. This picture has made me curious about the CS shirt.

Here you go, Crystal Skull pockets. As you can see, there is the pen pocket.
You'll also notice the pleats are sewn over the top of the pocket, thereby making the pocket unusable and merely decorative.
Weird huh?

I have even bigger pics than this and one other thing about the CS shirt, it's twill like Magnoli's.

No, the over the pocket pleat was not done on any of the other shirts.
Must be the new costume designers "signature".

You just have to know where to look.
I have some great pics from Raiders but no scanner. :(
It's hard to believe for so many years people didn't know about the pen pocket on the Raiders shirt when it's obvious in many old publicity photos. Just like the grooves on the holster. Easy to miss if you're not looking for it though.

Again there's disputes over what the Crystal Skull bag strap buckle looks like which I can't believe because there's bigger than life size pics of it on the net, which I have.
