Interesting. A straightforward Raiders version of the strap. Looking at your website I see a listing for the LC version as well. Are there any pictures of it?

It was my understanding that the dark brown one (pictured above) was the LC, ToD & KOTCS version

Ah'. I was expecting a roller buckle for the LC strap. I didn't see it and so I questioned. Are the two straps the same width or is the LC one slimmer? Raiders was 1' wide and LC was 20mm (or 3/4") wide.

I think that these look fantastic and I'm glad to see them. I am impressed with what I see. I assure you that I am not questioning the strap to be a jerk. I am seriously looking for an accurate LC bag strap and I am simply curious to see if this strap fit the bill. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

The buckles I found have a 1" opening for the strap so both styles are a tad under 1" in width.

Thank you for that answer. A strap just under an inch wide seems like a nice compromise between the different strap widths. It's unfortunate that you don't have a center bar roller buckle yet but these straps still look good. Keep up the good work!

I just got my strap today! I love the strap but ended up shortening it because I'm only 5'2. Thanks, just in time for NYC!

I just received the other (roller) style of buckle in the mail today, so I will be doing a Test of the LC belt today or tomorrow :)

Now you're getting there. Even the strap width sounds correct. If you'll examine the pictures in the thread entitled "The Lee Keppler Bag Strap Pictures" you'll see that you've absolutely nailed the ToD strap! Awesome! You are so close. For the LC strap all you need to do now is bend the upper part of the buckle a bit. Check out that thread and look at the LC buckle to see the bend. Here, this will make it easier... look at this screen capture from the Last Crusade and pay particular attention to the strap buckle.

See the bend?

Thanks again

Thanks for the heads up.

Now that you've matched both the Raiders and ToD bag straps are you going to take that extra step and supply that bend and complete the Last Crusade version of the bag strap?
