Hello everyone. Niagrawhipco here.
This seemed like the most appropriate place to put this posting, but if it isn't, moderators please feel free to move it if need be.
Over the last year or so I've begun to really hone my leather crafting skills. I've learned how to make belts, holsters, pouches, etc. I wanted to know if there was any interest by the members of this forum for another vendor that could offer Indy Leather gear, specifically belts, holsters, whip holders, and bag straps. I've been able to source nearly all the necessary components I'd need to make these and it seems like an opportune time to try my hand at selling some screen accurate leather gear.
I would offer them in a variety of styles based on the different versions in the films.
Belts: Raiders, Crystal Skull Holsters: Raiders, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Crystal Skull Bag Straps: Raiders, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Crystal Skull Whip Holders: A non slip double wrap design, each film design, or a custom color.
Each of these items would be handcrafted from premium grade leather with a keen eye to detail, in an attempt to make them as screen accurate as possible. Prices will be competitive with the current offerings, and I will be looking into reliable shipping methods to be able to offer these to as many people as possible.
In the coming months I will be posting pictures of my work so everyone can gauge their interest in these items.
Thank you all for your time,
Niagrawhipco

Nathan does great work. I have a KOTCS holster he made. It's a really nice piece. He's also very easy to do business with.
All the best luck to you, man!

Thank you Josh! I sincerely appreciate the words of encouragement! I'm a bit tied up with some other projects at the moment as I wait for more supplies to arrive but I'll be posting pictures of my work as soon as I can. Thank you for checking out this thread everyone.

Alright, I've sourced everything I need for the Holsters. Just finishing up sourcing materials for the belts and bag straps. I'm hoping to have some reference photos to show everyone within the next month or so. Looking forward to sharing my work with you all.

Thanks. I've been lucky enough to sell a handful of my early work and judging from the feedback everyone seems to be pretty satisfied with it. I've worked hard to hone my skills and I hope the end result shows.
Thank you everyone who has replied or checked out this thread. Your support and encouragement mean a lot!
