One of two things happened and I've discussed the first one with Wade...

1) The gun belt on display was NOT the one in the movie
2) The gun belt on display was technically production used, but not in the movie, only in promo shots such as this...

(I did some serious lightening of the picture to show the end of the belt)

The picture quality is kinda bad because for some reason my new MacBook Pro takes the screen shot, but the picture is a white and grey checkered pattern, so I had to take these with my phone... And I find it weird that Harrison originally DID have the gun belt the same way as the previous films, but then changed it.

I also included another picture of the holster.

Also, going back to the pants fabric - you mentioned that you thought Magnoli's Camel in English wool looked great to you for CS. Could you give me your full reasoning behind your belief on that? Again, just curious to know WHY you think that.

I think the English wool is a closer material than cavalry twill because I've seen and touched the costume that was on display with my own hands and it felt and reacted a lot more like my Magnoli pants in English wool. The pants material for CS was definitely NOT cavalry twill.

Kyle,

A lot to comment on with your post (GOOD comments of course! ).

First, the screen grabs. I was wondering, when you have a lot of free-time, if you could somehow get better resolution pictures of the ones you posted. They're a great help as they are, but they'd be even GREATER if the resolution was better. It's kind of hard to see the exact curve of the gunbelt end with them. The same goes for the holster, which, I have to say, is a GREAT PICTURE as well and is more broadside which really shows the curve, design, and nuances of the holster. And honestly, looking at the flap strap (is there a more "official" term for that thing - "flap strap" just doesn't sound right to me ) on that picture, it looks more like the one on my original Webley holster. I'm experiencing vue again!

As for the trousers, thanks for your input. I've been REALLY trying to watch the flow, drape, and action of the trousers in CS to see if I could pinpoint, based on the fabric reaction, what kind of fabric it is and I'm thinking more on the concensus with you that it's wool. I thought perhaps it might be cotton due to other theories that a lot of the costume had to be changed due to the large amount of water it would be subject to. However, unless Magnoli's cotton reacts much differently than, say my cotton twill dress trousers or vintage cotton OG-105's, cotton is usually more tough and doesn't wave near as easily in the wind as wool does and Indy's pants sure do dance around which lends me to believe they're wool. And given your close-up pictures of the weave of the trousers, it sure looks like the weave of the wool Camel fabric! Indeed, definitely NOT Cavalry twill - can't understand why though If they used wool anyway, why not stay consistent with the other films and use the same weave too?

I thought you were also referring to the color as well being pretty good. And while I love the fabric color of the Camel, the ones in the film are definitely pink, and, I feel, a spot on match with the Noel Howard LC trousers. Any thoughts on the color in relation to your viewing of them?

"traditional" style from? The costume-fitting bit from the documentary on disc 1? I don't recall seeing this. The angle or whatever also makes it look like Ford's got a gut (don't know how long before shooting this was so maybe that was the case . . . but I doubt it).

Also, what is this talk of a screen-worn costume exhibit? Have I missed something? Where? When? Would love to hear more, especially about that trousers material. The deviations from the original costume for this movie is something I'd love to have a sit-down talk with the costume department about.

Thanks for all the stills. Comparatively it seems the CS gear doesn't get much attention around here (with good reason, I might add, but thaaaaaaaat's another story!).
