Dale is correct about the leather belt. It is very simple in design
and you shouldn't have problems getting one. The same applies to the
webbing belt. It is offered in nearly every Military Surplus store in
a large variety of colors. By the way, they are usually 46" long and
can be shortened to the desired length (Indy's belt wasn't shortened).
However, there is one more thing you need to know: The belts in ToD
and Raiders were brown while the LC webbing belt was kahki. The brown
belts are very rare. They have been used during WWII but weren't issued
naymore afterwards. Also the buckle on Indy's belt appears to be a
little silver in some scenes as well. The brass has worn off with use
so don't be concerned, it IS the standard brass roller buckle. I have
been using my buckle for quite some time now with many different
webbings and the brass has completely worn off.
By the way, a "Indy's Diggs FAQ" about belts, whip holster, holster,
etc. is currently written.
