that is great gear sparrow for sure. one thing that i do notice of peter bros hats is that they are typically quite tall. if you're asking what i'd change, i'd have to say a shorter crown and darker boots.....maybe a warmer brown on the bag strap as it's kind of reddishy brown (which is kind of wierd as i have a magnoli strap and it looks dead on so it could be just the picture quality). everything else deserves a loud "sig heil (sp?)" from the stitch nazi camp
.....now go and get everything dirty

your boots are SA to the truck chase scene which showed boots that are comperable to today's standard alden offering.....oops, i meant last year's. today they are a tad darker but still a long reach from actual hero raiders boots. michaelson has got some deep brown boots that are very comperable to the raiders style. my AF64 from carmel look pretty close....just don't look at the rugged sole's
whats key for me is that the stitching on the moc toe should be dark as well....can't find those on the standard offerings.
i hope you disregard my comments or your in for one expensive ride.....there's no hope for me anymore so save yourself if you can. all in all, i think your gear is great.
cheers

Good look overall. I too, noticed the reverse taper in the tall hat. A suggestion for the shirt, though. Wash it (hand or machine) and let it dry on a hanger, not in a dryer. Do not iron or press it. I think you want a more rumbled look.
Nice outfit that looks like it all came together in a relatively short few months, if it took that long.

[quote="IndianaBogart"] I can't believe your bag strap came from Todd's. I got mine from him about a year ago and its a lot darker. Yours looks a lot closer to the Raiders strap than mine. /quote]
here is Todds new bagstrap with the older one I got a while back.
looks dead on to a raiders bag strap to me.
well done Todd!
