Hey Everyone,
I was poking around what price glory today looking at Indy gear, and stumbled onto some ww2 era US overseas service bars. http://onlinemilitaria.net/products/5603-US-Overseas-Service-Bars/?bc=no
Now, I don't think these are what were used on his trousers, but I think it may have offered some inspiration in his costumes, especially for Empire and Jedi. In the new Original Trilogy Costumes book, it does mention that the original concept design had similar military inspired tuxedo stripes and they were swapped with the bars we see on screen.
A quick google search makes it seem like a lot of sellers have these on big rolls that can be cut to measure. Maybe they can be an alternative for some of us to hand embroidering or paying big money to get some embroidered.
Cheers!
