First Indy look - on a shoestring

I'm into the Indy lifestyle more than the gear but for my birthday fancy dress party this year I put together this costume.
It's all from stuff I had [reblocked market-bought fedora], stuff I made [whip, holster and bag] and cheap charity shop clothes.
Yes, it's not SA, but everyone got who I was instantly. And no one said, "What are you suposed to be, a lion tamer?"
For 130 euros the lot, I'm well pleased.
Regards
Enigmata

You look very well traveled. Great work!

I like some of the qualities of the fabric of that shirt, the cloth reminds me of a screen accurate raiders shirt. That quality seems to be lacking in some of the current vendor's "dress shirt twill" offerings.

Looks great. It may not be SA but you got your point across. Great job and a great price.

That's just about the best compliment you can get!

I am indeed, as Nibs pointed out, a lefty

The shirt is linen which naturally wrinkles a lot. So much so that if I ever ironed it I suspect it would be too big for me!
It's also a tapered fit for my chest and waist rather than the 'straight-down-from-the-armpits' cut of most mass produced shirts. This stops it bunching up at the top of the trousers. (thus showing off my lean adventurer's torso of course)

Linen, there we go, I want a pre-shrunk English linen Indy shirt.
That would be a very interesting animal that I would not mind giving an "adventure test drive".
Examples of semi-linen looking raiders shirt drape:
