Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
Since WE is no longer in the leathercraft business, who currently makes the best Raiders gunbelt?
I know about Todd's and lost-ark.net. Are there any other options?

Sole Survivor Leather makes a similar belt. Good quality and made in the USA as opposed to China.

Re: Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
Thanks so far, guys.
I wasn't able to find any company named 'Make It Jones', and the Sole Survivor belt is...well...uh...not so Raiders.
The Steele & Jones belt looks great. Now I just hafta play Roulette with sizing...

It's a little tough to find. I had to search "make it jones" in quotes. Also the Norris Casual Belt from sole survivor isn't bad. A variety of color options and you can choose between brass or chrome buckles.

Close enough/screen reminiscent anyway.

Re: Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
Yeah, sorry about that. The one I linked to is more like the later films.Cajunkraut wrote: . . . the Sole Survivor belt is...well...uh...not so Raiders.

I think the buckle on their Lisbon belt is pretty close to the original other than the lack of a metal keeper.

Re: Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
Just found this on the RPF.
According to Magnoli, Wade is planning to be back at the end of this month?

Re: Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
Wade makes awesome gear of course, but I can also vouch for MakeItJones. I picked up one of his LC whip carriers back in July, and it's awesome! Also recently ordered a pair of bridle leather falls for my bullwhips, which appear to be Filson indestructible!

Anyone have any experience with Steele & Jones in Argentina?

Hi - makeitjones here
using http://www.makeitjones.co.uk will re-direct you straight through to my website - hopefully that's a bit easier to remember and find.
Haven't updated my belts page with new stock but currently have a choice of very dark brown bridle leather, dark brown corrected grain, rich chocolate brown dyed-through and just bought a big shoulder of tooling leather for hand dyed belts and holsters.
Hope whipwarrior's falls are fitting the bill.

Order pending with the semi-custom belt we've spec'd out.
Re: Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
They fit the bill perfectly, David! Thanks a million, and I'm looking forward to the new custom whip carrier!makeitjones wrote:Hope whipwarrior's falls are fitting the bill.

What are the specs? Is this just a custom belt, or an attempt at improving accuracy?

Re: Best Raiders Gunbelt These Days?
Custom measurements, choice of buckle, leather, and tip design. Omitted the attached whip holder, and requested the Chicago screws be changed to rivets.pinder91 wrote:Cajunkraut wrote: Order pending with the semi-custom belt we've spec'd out.
