: : : I just got my Noel Howard bag strap in the mail today(Monday 4/19). I just ordered it on Wednesday the 14th and they mailed it on the 15th. Pretty quick service....The strap itself looks fine to me. The color is like the one in "Raiders", almost a reddish brown. The top side of the strap is finished while the under side is rough leather. The buckle does, like someone else said, look worn and weathered which to me makes it look more authentic. The "stitches" that are said to run along the strap are nothing more than grooves...no stitches or thread, just two parallel indents that run the length of the strap. I ordered the 71" model and it looks like it'll fit me perfect. I'm 5'10" so with the buckle in the middle of my chest, the ends that'll be attached to the bag end up just a little below my waist. I don't think I could've made a better strap, or have had one made that is as close as this one for only $17.00. I'm more than satisfied with it and the shipping time was icing on the cake. Now I just have to order the whip holder from Noel Howard....has anyone else? What does it look like and how much does it cost?

: : I ordered my pants and strap from Noel Howard last week and am
: : currently awaiting them. I also am waiting for my Herbert Johnson
: : 'Poet'. When all is said and done, I should have a relatively complete
: : outfit. (I already have the Wested, the Morgan bullwhip, the Aldens,
: : and the MK-VII bag) I am interested in seeing how the Indy shirt looks
: : when Noel Howard or someone else posts pictures of them on X Marks.
: : Does anyone realize that Indy's clothing and gear almost costs $2000
: : all together?!?! (And that's tax-free, too!) Do the math and you'll
: : see what I mean.

: Hey, at least now $2000 will get you back, AND in style!

: Abner

Hey- GOOD ONE!!! (AND in style!) Very good...
