Fucking hell, I love this bloody jacket:

That's the Wested Leather Co. "Raiders" jacket. It's a bloody beautiful peice of lambskin. I obsess over these things, so damn nice. It's an authentic replica of the jacket worn by Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is made by the same company, cut from the same pattern, made to the same specs. The only way it could be more authentic is if you stole the original jacket from the Smithsonian.
But, even if you don't know exactly what it is, it's a freaking beautiful jacket. And, get this, it's only about $300 USD. I've seen crappier lambskin jackets in department stores for >$500. For that $300, you get a jacket that is not pre-made. When you place an order, you give them your measurements, and they custom-make your jacket. You can ask them to change things, such as make the lining silk (the historically accurate, and thus default, lining is polyester), some changes they do for free, others are for a nominal charge.
I couldn't be happier with this damn thing. It's sold for half of what it could be sold for, and it's made by the company of an honest man who goes through a lot of effort to ensure his product is of high quality and arrives to the customer the way they ordered it.

Pretty nice, I had a leather jacket that got thrown away by my old employer. I left the jacket there by mistake after I had quit. When remembered it and went back, they told me it was thrown in the trash! A $300+ jacket just thrown in the trash! I was and still am very pissed off about that.

Bull whips are cheap in mexico. But the specific kind used for the movie was a 10 foot long bullwhip made by David Morgan. He is a very GOOD whip maker, and his whips are very expensive. The ten footer is $635. But the authentic one is only for the obsessive collector, just get any old 10' bullwhip and the public will think it works.
The hat you can purhcase from Stetson, but being a stetson hat, it's pricey. I got a decently made hat from Disneyland for $50, but the (better looking, better made, more accurate, and more comfortable) stetson hat is the Stetson "005" Indy. price tag: $95.
The shirt and pants are thankfully easy to find, they are both sold by wested as accessories to the jacket. The price is discounted if purchased along with a jacket as part of the same order.
Other props I will list later on.

I highly recommend you to replace it with one of these if you want a leather jacket. It's such a nice jacket. I'm wearing mine right now, and god damn... it's just too nice.
