He made me a gunbelt!
And it is awesome
The leather is good stiff belt quality with a smooth finish also on the back
side. There's grooves along the edges and the buckle is fastened with two
screw locks similar to the ones used on bagstraps only these has slots on
both sides making it easier to tighten them. The buckle is the real deal:
a nickle plated brass buckle from Noel Howard.
I'm a little late writing this review, the belt came before Christmas, a very busy time with tons of relatives coming over.
Thanks IndyK
I couldn't possible be happier, it's my favorite belt.

K, that is a great looking belt. I think it is very screen accurate. Congratulations.

Thanks Bufflehead,
your right about the screenaccuracy, IndyK really made an effort to get it right.

Your right Jens, a gun and holster is next.
He he- GraveRobberGreg, you want to see me in my gear.
Hmmm maybe when my Aldens arrive
It can be a big step to go public.

So does this mean there's a new vendor or is this a one off?
I don't think the metal keeper is shaped right (for Raiders at least), but the rest looks great. I have the same gripe with my TAG belt.

You'll have to ask IndyK what his plans are.

Well, I dont consider myself a new vendor of Indy-gunbelts, but since this belt gave me the idea to produce durable, high quality all round belts for sale, I will off course make the Indy-belts for those interested as long as Noel Howard will supply the buckles.
Noel Howard will always be the man to contact if You want the real thing. He makes the best gunbelt there is, and with his belt also being the original from the movies I see no reason to aim my belts for screen-accuracy. However, Noel was kind enough to supply me with the various buckles from the 3 films, allowing me to produce the belt in a style that came very close to the originals, and this belt, as shown on K's photos, will be the standard Indy-belt I can make for those interested.
You're welcome to PM me for more info.
Here is what it looks like when "buckled up".
Cheers
