Forgive me if someone has done this before, but I had the opportunity to have both of these in my presence at the same time, so I took the liberty to fire off some comparison shots in good light.
Both are un-distressed, no modifications, straight how you would receive them from the vendor. In this case it's Todd's Costumes VS Costume Base

Did Indy leave his little string on his bag (the one in the side pocket) I want to take mine off.
He doesn't appear to have it here.

I think it's safe to say that the long string has never been seen on screen.

Love the heavy-duty latigo of Todd's straps too.
