While the first three Indiana Jones films take place in the 1930s, the bag that he carries and uses to carry his treasures was actually a WWII surplus gas mak bag. More specifically it was the British MKVII bag. There were actually a few manufacturers of the bag usually in green canvas but sometimes in white or yellow. During the war, both the infantry and the police wore this mask.
Most of what one sees when looking at Indiana Jones is the leather strap over his shirt but the bag in many shots the bag is under the jacket. However, in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls, Professor Jones wears it over the jacket.

After removing the Chicago screw on the end that has the loop, run that part through the left side of the metal ring, and then through the strap buckle. Give yourself some room for adjustment (about 18 inches depending on how tall you are) and then with the secure the strap loop onto the other metal ring by replacing the screws. Once you have it on, you can make further adjustments to the strap. Just make sure that the strap goes from right to left and the buckle should be right about your sternum.
Here is a demo on how to do this in the video below.
While I buy my own products with my own funds, here is a link to What Price Glory's website and to the actual bag that I bought. I ordered this right as the pandemic was realized and this still came in about a week. http://onlinemilitaria.net/
