So with my Indy costume almost complete...

what do I need to maintain it?

I've got a Leather jacket, bag strap, alden shoes, holster, jacka whip, the works.

All I know right now is that I need some pecard classic leather dressing for my whip's fall. :oops: Links would be great! Thanks all!

Well, for most of those things, you can't go wrong with Pecard's leather dressing! However, if your jacket is lamb, I'd personally go with Pecard's leather lotion instead.

As for the Aldens, some folks recommend just an application of Pecards as well, but personally I double dip using Pecards and Alden's own brown fine boot cream. I buff mine afterwards, and get a really nice and shiny sheen, like the pair on Indygear's own website:

Not exactly SA, since Ford's on-screen pair are so dirty and distressed that they almost look like suede... but nevertheless, if you got the gear, might as well keep it in tip top condition, I say!

Just be careful with the fine brown boot cream, since they tend to stain the white stitching, and IMO, Ford's screen-used pair's white stitching is quite prominent.
