My Indiana Jones Costume: An Archived Account

This page is an archived historical snapshot. It preserves one individual's personal account of assembling an Indiana Jones costume. Nothing here describes present availability, ownership, pricing, schedules, contacts, or endorsement, and no continuity with any current site or vendor is implied.

Overview

The archived page presents a fan's costume project, item by item, along with a note about a decoder image for carved writing associated with an Indiana Jones attraction. The author describes wearing the finished costume to a convention in Santa Clara, California, over a holiday weekend. These details are reported as the author's recollections and are not independently verified here.

Costume Components as Described

Hat

The author states that a Disneyland Indiana Jones hat, acquired years earlier around the time the attraction opened, was reblocked by a specialist in Las Vegas. The page characterizes the blocker as highly regarded and notes that hats are sent to him from various places. This is the author's description only.

Jacket

A leather jacket is described as coming from a California seller. The author compares it favorably to a more expensive alternative from the United Kingdom and remarks on comfort and price. Such comparisons are personal opinions from the archived text.

Shirt

The shirt is said to have come from a vendor the author names. The author notes that the fabric felt heavy for a dress shirt and that the sizing was very large, requiring alteration by a tailor. These are the author's impressions at the time.

Bag

The page describes a bag obtained from a Singapore-based seller, with the original belt replaced by a leather one made by the author. The author also mentions acquiring a genuine Mark VII gas mask bag and plans to modify it. No claim is made about the current availability of any such item.

Belt, Holster, and Whip

A friend is credited with making the belt and holster, while the author made a whip strap. The page mentions an intention to offer holsters through an online store and a whip in progress. These statements are historical intentions, not current offerings.

Gun and Shoes

An airsoft revolver is described as the costume gun, with planned painting and weathering. For shoes, the author chose a lower-cost alternative to a more expensive brand, citing a purchase price and typical retail range. Prices are historical and not current.

Props

The author describes a metal headpiece prop from a Singapore seller, noting a cheap-looking crystal and that both sides are identical. A printed map is also described, with credit to a named creator, and the author notes an understanding that the screen-used prop was blank paper. The author expresses a hope to acquire a fertility idol. These are personal notes, not verified production facts.
