For something like that, I would go with a pair of Merrill or Salomon hiking boots (no break in required) and a good pair of wool blend socks (Darn Tough).

I have a Todd's brush that works well.

Have you considered the Coyle's Downtowner from Todd's Costumes? It's a great hat. I've had mine for a couple of years now and really like it!

I cant wait to see it for the 5,000th time in October. I don't care how bad the gear is, I can't get enough of the show! I like this attitude. :TOH: It's the spirit of the costume and the enthusiasm of the actors that's important, not the screen accuracy. 99.9% of the Disney-going public doesn't ca...

Adam and Jamie have a YouTube channel called Tested. Might end up seeing the hat on there!

Now back to hats: I have a Steele & Jones '38 for sale on the bay if an tones interested. It's perfect but unfortunately it was blocked on a regular oval block when I needed a long oval. :TOH: I ran across that hat while searching eBay last night! Looks great and great price but too big for me ...

As Holt said, this is easily repairable. A patch and a little glue and you'll be good to go.

OR, what size is the jacket? I'll give you $50 for it (sorry, man, it's damaged!)

How bad is it? You might be able to get it repaired. Pictures?

Lol.... its a Mk1 Ford Escort with about 250bhp per tonne. I use it for tarmac stage rallies and im building a mk2 for the forest.

Sweet!

Looks good, nice work!

Nice hat!

It's also possible you get a little more sun in Florida than we do in Northeast Ohio!

Penman and all the other guys building hats recommend waterproofing. If it's good enough for them, then it's good enough for me. YMMV.

And once you get it back into shape, get thyself some good waterproofing spray. I like Scotchguard with silicone on my Todd's Coyle's. But I'm sure there is fancier stuff out there too.

550 cord makes great boot laces.

Lexol Leather Cleaner should do the trick.

Looks pretty much spot on to me.

Even if it is screen used...40 grand? C'mon son!

Thanks everyone! I really dig the Todd's fedora, too. I get many compliments every time I wear it. Hard to beat for just over $100.

Tibor - I like the cardigan idea. May have to explore that look. I have a black zip up that is probably close enough.

I've been basically lurking here for a while so I thought I would post something worthwhile. :TOH: https://grisez1.smugmug.com/photos/i-qWBG8tc/1/L/i-qWBG8tc-L.jpg Top to bottom: Todd's Raiders (Coyle's) Downtowner Landing Leathers A2 (with a light dusting of fullers) Propper long sleeve tactical sh...

Great hat and excellent beard!

A light dusting of Fuller's earth will stop the squeak (if you want to go the distressed route). That's what I do to my A2. It looks good and no squeak.

I, too, just received my Todd's Downtowner and really like it! My next hat, though, will be a Garrison Raiders. For not much more than the AdVintage, you can get a custom made Garrison.

Moleskine notebooks have the same Prop 65 warning.
