Daily Indy gear
I use my repro Mark VII bag daily and very frequenty either my brown or gray AB. But if I'm going to out in the sun for any extended period of time, I need a bigger brim, so I'll grab my Tilley T-2.
Also daily, I carry my Hubectus stag handle pocket knife, and in my MKVII bag, a blank Raiders journal with red spine, and a pencil, in case I go on any adventure. My daily eye wear is the pair of Saville Row gold frame cable ears with my progressive prescription so I can read fine print, the computer screen and the road signs when I'm driving at night.
Occassionaly I wear my Alden 405 boots, the Platon or Wested pants with web belt, or and Indy shirt (Wested, Todd's, AB, or WPG, rarely). Rarely do I wear the whole outfit together these days.

I think for me it depends on the season... But I'd have to say, when its the right temperature for me to choose between all my gear...
Wested, then Magnoli shirt, then Aldens, then AB. I wear the jacket whenever I can, and my shirt is my favorite shirt. I rotate the shoes in and out with my brown Mossimo sneakers (very cool, very cheap), and my AB I wear whenever it looks like rain, or whenever I want to look really cool. The bag I don't wear too much because I can't fit much in it, but when I can use it, I will.

My Federation. I wear it almost everyday. I wore it the other night to see Indy at the drive-in with my girlfriend and some of our friends from church. My MK VII would be next. (which is great to put ammo and magazines in when I'm in the mountains shooting) And back during the school year on Thursday (chapel day) I would wear my shirt, pants, web belt, and black tie.

Re: Your gear
My Fed III Deluxe, followed by my any one of my half dozen Todd's Indy Shirts.
Re: Your gear
The jacket, closely followed by the MK VII and the hat, whenever possible.
Re: Your gear
Probably my Azuma LC shirt, followed by my USW Antique Cow jacket and Todd's Downtowner.

Re: Your gear
I wear my PB lid every day along with my Aldens. Depending on the time of year, either my Todd's Standard or my G&B Expo. The Mark VII gets out mostly at the weekend.

Right now it's my AB fedora. When the weather is cooler, it's a tie with my Wested jacket.

Could you please post a picture of your knife?
If my suspicions are correct, your knife may actually be a "Hubertus", which I am certain is the brand of knife we see in Raiders.
At one time, the Hubertus logo had the bottom of the "r" and "t" connect, making it look like a "c".
I have been looking for one of the NON automatic lockbacks like this for a long time. They are quite hard to find and expensive when you do! (Sorry, I'm a serious knife nut. Hence the avatar......)
Anyway, back on topic....
During the cooler months, I live in my Wested jackets (Raiders or LC, depending on my mood).
When it is too warm to wear a jacket, I'm out front throwing a whip.
Re: Your gear
Hat. I will wear the jacket when it's cooler, but it doesn't usually work well with the real cold we get here.
Re: Your gear
MKVII. Use it daily (Mag reproduction). My original goes out with me occasionally. Second would be my Fed IV. However that will soon be sidelined when I get my Penman LC.

MK VII Daily.
Fedoras daily, but rotated for weather and fashion.

Re: Your gear
I'd have to say either my Wested or my Akubra....
Re: Your gear
Does anyone here regularly wear both a fedora and a jacket at the same time?

Re: Your gear
I wear my Aldens to work everyday, everyday. There is no other boot in the world that fits and supports like they do. Second would be my USW CE Jacket. I wear my Fed IV rarely, it's too hot in the summer round these parts for "me" to enjoy it.n I usually put it on when I'm fly fishing...

I do, but now is not the season here in Poland. I get some looks but tend to dress the look up as there is no distressing on my gear. A tie and smart trousers produce a good look.

Re: Your gear
I want to say the bag, but... I have 2. One is an authentic MKVII that I only use for the full gear outfit. The other is a repro that I use as my everyday bag, never in gear.
So, given that fuzziness, I'll go with jacket. My Indy hats have lots of competition from non-Indy hats, but I have an Indy Jacket for nearly any weather, and wear them as often as I can.

Re: Your gear
I wear my FedIV everyday, either my carbon grey Standard (to & from work) or my brown Deluxe at all other times. Both have identical bashes, which are my Raiders/LC hybrid bash
At weekends, if i'm out i'll wear my original MKVI with a Wade strap, and often i'll wear my costumebase shirt. I've worn the bag with the hat, and i've worn the shirt with the hat, i have yet to wear all three items together. When it gets colder i'll wear my Wested denim. At some point i'll get a leather indy jacket - probably a Wested also, as they are only about an hours drive away.
