Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
Ok I’m going to ask one more time to get back on topic. If you want to argue about Ford’s height, there’s an entire section for you.

You posted this as a statement of fact and leaves it open to scrutiny.knibs7 wrote:
IMO, that just doesn't seem long enough to fit Harrison Ford, who at the time, was about 6’2” tall.
As mentioned people here cannot accept any other conclusion. Its just not within the relm of fandom possibility.
Carrie Fisher is listed as all of 5'1" . If George (who in an interview called Mark Hamil short) is 5'6" then yeah, Ford would would be about 3-4 inches taller than Mark. But in this world it cant be any other thing.

The shot with Daniel Craig is conclusive as they are wearing basically the same suit and shoes standing on the same platform, but people cant handle it.
I think it much more likely that Ford is about 5'9" 1/2 maybe 5'10" and this is more consistent with info as given by NH.

Ok, so multiple people in this very thread, who have met Harrison have just been going through life thinking they’re 4 inches taller than they really are??Texan Scott wrote:You posted this as a statement of fact and leaves it open to scrutiny.knibs7 wrote:

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
Ok, as the topic say's RAIDERS BAG strap Revelation.
My Knibs7 strap is a very well piece of leather work, the distressing is great.
The color is a nice Raiders brown, and the Sam Brown button (i guess that's the best way to describe it) works great.
And where he put in the seam looks great, I almost couldn't find it at first.
I give this a 10 any day of the week.
I made only one mistake (I think) and that's where I need help.
I know the stand strap length has always been 65" and this was based on Fords height, (sorry Knibs7)
I gave Kyle my height of 65" in hopes that the bag would be higher and the buckle would be placed more center (like Indy's is)
Here's some shots of the strap and the surprise whip holder which is also nice.
Now this where I need help, does this look right for my height. Be honest, if not I'll sell it and try again. I'm patient, as this hobby has taught us that.
Kyle, this is a nice strap, you done good my man.

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
I prefer the buckle to be more centered to the chest, I think just below the third button of the shirt is generally considered good placement. To my eye the buckle does look too low on you.Indiana Croft wrote: Now this where I need help, does this look right for my height.

I seem to recall that ordering the bag strap length equal to your height is supposed to result in the correct proportions for the right look.

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
Thanks so much, Croft! I sent you a PM regarding the strap.

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
Knibs7 reached out to me and I’ll be sending the strap back and we’ll work it out.
Great customer service.
Anyone interested in the Legacy version, you can’t go wrong, this is nice strap.
And Indiana Jeff, thank you for your honesty.

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
You're welcome. I was confirming for you what you already knew. My Bride and I do that for each other with some regularity.
Kyle or Croft, I am curious, how is the buckle attached to the strap? The Chicago screw on the other end was replaced with a button, but is the strap still attached with a Chicago screw?

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
Yes it is.
But you can’t really see it.
And I actually like the button, the Chicago screw alway seemed wrong for something that would have been put together in the field with what was at hand.

Re: RAIDERS Bag Strap Revelation
That is correct. I’ll post a picture of the original in just a bit.
