Recently TheMechanic posted this picture:
Now guys, am I going nuts or is the penpocket stitch missing here?

I have pictures where you can clearly see it.
There is one weird thing about the pleats that you'll see too.
I'll post soon.

I would love to see those pictures TheMechanic. This picture has made me curious about the CS shirt.

Here you go, Crystal Skull pockets. As you can see, there is the pen pocket.
You'll also notice the pleats are sewn
over the top of the pocket, thereby making the pocket unusable and merely decorative.
Weird huh?

wow, that is wierd. I wonder why they did that and if it was done with any of the shirts used in the other movies.

I have even bigger pics than this and one other thing about the CS shirt, it's twill like Magnoli's.
No, the over the pocket pleat was not done on any of the other shirts.
Must be the new costume designers "signature".

where did you get these pictures? Thats awsome.
If only we had pictures like that from raiders we would have been able to solve so many mysteries about the gear....

You just have to know where to look.
I have some great pics from Raiders but no scanner.
It's hard to believe for so many years people didn't know about the pen pocket on the Raiders shirt when it's obvious in many old publicity photos. Just like the grooves on the holster. Easy to miss if you're not looking for it though.
Again there's disputes over what the Crystal Skull bag strap buckle looks like which I can't believe because there's bigger than life size pics of it on the net, which I have.
