FINALLY my Last Crusade has almost come to an end. All I need now is boots! Next month.

Here is my new upgraded gear.

Hat: Akubra with LC loose pinch bash.
Jacket: Wested Last crusade with Holt specs. Heavy distressed.
Shirt: AB shirt with SA buttons.
Pants: Real officers pinks in the lighter khaki color.
Light khaki web belt.
Gunbelt: Todds modified gunbelt. Removed the color and replaced it with an SA brass buckle.
Strap: Wade LC strap with SA LC buckle. Distressed.
Bag: original MK 7. Distressed.
whip: Pagey 9ft 12p Raiders whip.
Holster: Webley distressed.
Gun: Webley.
Boots: Red wings 1907

This has been a long adventure. Would be cool to hear what you think

Looks great.....I especially love the way the pants, being the real deal, really match the entire outfit in terms of color, drape, and style. Especially the color match up with all the rest of the gear.

Thanks guys!

Picture of the gun coming up asap!

Yep, I love the pants!

Post by **Indy Magnoli** » Tue May 26, 2015 4:34 pm

Fantastic! The hardest thing, in my opinion, is getting all the color tones to match up. They often look too stark in contrast, but yours has that muted look of the original, with the right amount of distressing... much like your Grail Diary.

Thanks! Appreciated! I knew you of all would comment on exactly that!

Next will be the Raiders gear... with the fantastic Magnoli shirt

I am trying to put a LC look together as well.

Long way to go to rival Holt's look & remember that the person wearing the gear is a big part of the look as well.

But any advice from yall would be appreciated.

Post by **Holt** » Tue May 26, 2015 8:09 pm

Btw, I have a new LC jacket arriving tomorrow. Will post a few pictures with that jacket as well..

It has a few flaws on it. Less then I first thought it would have. Flaws like a hair taller pockets and back armseam not inswen like the temple of doom, and Facings!!! I HATE facings.. ah well. it adds to the life of the jacket so it's good I guess. Other then this it is a very nice LC. I am very curious about it..

I can tell you it's not based on the smithsonian LC jacket but the other Hero. The tad longer zepplin/beach jacket. Actually my favorite LC jacket.

The last pic is spot on dude!!!!

ChrisMD · Post by **ChrisMD** » Tue May 26, 2015 11:34 pm

Holt, would love to see some pics in the style of the "three challenges" when Indy recovers the grail. Some halloween spider webs, dirty gear, beat up, and clutching the diary for dear life. Would be awesome! You have LC dead to rights.

Really nice job Holt! Digging that last pic.

Post by **Holt** » Wed May 27, 2015 6:15 am

Thanks!

More pictures coming up guys!

Post by **Holt** » Wed May 27, 2015 6:31 am

I am soon going to do a shoot by an old hydroelectric plant from the early 1900. Only 30 min away from where I live..

This is such a cool place and has such an LC vibe to it. I can just hear the Nazi typewriters and phone rings thru the windows.

The inside of this place really reminds me of the scene where Indy says..''Nazi's, I hate these guys'' in castle brunwald.

Post by **Holt** » Fri May 29, 2015 12:37 pm

I was out hiking today! Such nice weather.. I usually hike when I need to be creative and alone with my thoughts..

I had my Indy gear in the car and I took them out after the hike for some new pictures.

Recreating the Raiders promo shot with LC gear.

CONFRATULATIONS DUDE! YOU LOOK GR8

Post by **Cajunkraut** » Sat May 30, 2015 10:47 am

Those pinks look good! Not sure why they're oft considered taboo here...

Post by **Holt** » Sat May 30, 2015 11:54 am

Thanks!

I understand why they are considered taboo around here. Thye are not very accurate.. I really lucked out with these.

Usually they have a really high waist. Or others have too tapered legs. Some are without pocket flaps, sometimes they come with only one pocket with a flap..

yeah, it pretty much is a needle in a stack..

Here is the back..

Post by **Cajunkraut** » Sat May 30, 2015 12:00 pm

Great find, Holt. May I ask where you sourced 'em?

Post by **Holt** » Sat May 30, 2015 12:03 pm

Found them on Eby for 30 bucks!

Got my new gun last week and Chris asked for a picture..so here

And just for kicks... I got the gear really dirty ala dessert tank chase scenes..

''Come on dad! come on!!''

Post by **Indy Magnoli** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 4:30 pm

Your about to lose your whip!

I love how everything is so well balanced, color/aging-wise!

Post by **Holt** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 4:40 pm

lol. I know! Funny enough it held up thruout the enitre day.. It kinda tackled itself between the whip.. but hey, it's Indy style right, just go with it. lol.

Thanks bud!

ChrisMD · Post by **ChrisMD** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 4:41 pm

Way to go! Nailed it. I agree with Magnoli, the balance is what really sells it.

Thanks guys!

The colors are extremley important to get the look of the film. The colors need to go hand in hand and not single them selfs out. I think exactly the same when the grail diary. The aging colors are very important to get the look. I feel Magnoli really understands what I am about as he is an ''distressing'' guy himself.. we just love breaking down things..

car96 · Post by **car96** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 9:26 pm

Amazing. Great gear.

Your setting the bar high. Your gear is what I am shooting for, much less Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.

I looked like crazy on ebay for some army pinks trousers and I found a few, but most all of them were a waist size of 30-32...can't even come close to that waist size any more.

I hit up 2 local Army surplus stores, one of which is huge, and found nothing even close.

Post by **Holt** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 9:37 pm

Thanks man! Very much appreciated!

I think you have some awesome great gear as well! Looking forward to you showing it all off!

I am waiting for the boots now. Should arrive next week. They have the perfect Raiders color..

In fact, I am building a new set of Raiders gear.. I hoping I can pull that one off as well.. and again, It's all in the color details. So I am searching..

As for pants? I definitley would give my friend Magnoli a ring. He makes the most SA Last crusade pants you can get your hands on and fully custom. It's worth the money! Trust me!

car96 · Post by **car96** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:10 pm

Yes, I have noticed Magnoli. Pricey, but look good on his website.

I just keep holding out for an authentic pair of pinks at that low army surplus / ebay cost. Having to pay $200 for a pair of pants that I can not even try on before....I just have problems with that.

So, since you mentioned him I will ask you a question about his website/pants.

What color do you pick to match LC as best as possible? He has many color options as I recall.

The waist size true to USA measurements?

And...do you get charged (being here in the USA and he in New Zealand..I believe) with a customs bill upon delivery?

I realize he is on the boards & I guess he would be the best to answer these questions, but your input would help as I don't think I have ever seen anyone on here with his version of LC style / color of trousers.

car96 · Post by **car96** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:13 pm

Oh yeah, one more question.

Shirt buttons LC. Are these good? What are the difference in 20 line vs 24 line?

You need different sizes for the buttons down the front of the shirt vs around the wrist don't you?

Oooh, I'll just wait until Whipwarrior gives you the ''Trailer voice'' on these buttons! Saty tuned!

(if he doesn't show up soon, yes, these are the most SA buttons you can get)

IndyRiv · Post by **IndyRiv** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:56 pm

Holt

Did you do any tailoring to the trousers? Reason I ask is because id be interested in a swatch to see the color and texture up close.

Thanks and GREAT work on the gear!

Post by **Holt** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 11:00 pm

Nope. 100% officers pinks!

Thanks!

I didn't catch this one! When ordeirng pants from Mags he usually asks you to measure out a well fitting Indy pant. Like the Todd's you have! Measure the heck out of it and send the specs to him! As far as details go, The details are the best SA details for LC out there. Color? some swear to camel. I like it myself. You want soemthing khaki light and not grey brown like Raiders. Your best option is to pm Magnoli! He will be of help to all of your questions.. Don't let him age or distress you, as he will try. (don't tell him I said that)

ChrisMD · Post by **ChrisMD** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 1:11 am

FWIW another vote for Magnoli. I have 2 suits and a jacket from him all second hand. Superb craftsmanship.

Post by **Michaelson** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 7:58 am

Shoot, ANYTHING you get from Indy Magnoli is the best, so why stop at trousers and suits. I have a vest and jacket by him, and they're built like tanks!

Moving right along.....

Regards! Michaelson

Post by **Holt** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 2:26 pm

Yep, I have had jackets, shirts, pants, bag and bagstrap.

All very high quality gear.

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Fri Jun 12, 2015 8:29 pm

Holt I love the shot of the Raider promo, spot on.
Now one question, do you have someone taking the pic's or are you doing the 10 second, run around and BAM pose like your in the middle of a scene.

This is one of the parts I love about this hobby, that and the awesome people.
Keep up the good work.

I'm already preaching to the choir, so I'll stay off my soap box. Vintage screen-accurate buttons practically sell themselves, anyway.

So..Whipwarrior....tell me what size to get?

Here is why I find the officers pinks to be the perfect Last Crusade pants.

Indy's on the left and mine on the right. I hardly can spot a difference in the color, material and drape/thickness.

car96 · Post by **car96** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 7:20 pm

What size buttons do I need? the 20 or 24?
