IndyGear on a budget....

I thought we might get some input on thrifty ways you can get your fair portion of the gear and not spend a fortune. Here is a short list, your thoughts/input of your own choices:
Hat: Fed IV, Deluxe or Stadard, $120-$76
Shirt: A close-enough (such as Lighthouse) or thrift purchase. Indy shirt--WPG or Todd's. $20-$50
Jacket: Todd's Standard or Wested Standard. $150-$220
Bag and Strap: WPG or Todd's +/- $50
Web Belt: various, Ebay--very inexpensive, +/- $1.90
Gun Belt: Todd's and others--$30
Whip holder: $20
Whip: depends on maker and length, $100 to $1,500
Holster: Todd's clearance, $20
Pants: Close-enough--Wrangler casual khakis, Wal-Mart, taupe. $15
Boots: Todds. $75
On the low end, you could easily spend less that $600 for a complete set of the gear. This does not take into consideration thrift or second hand purchases. Obviously, if you shopped around long enough, and bought everything second hand, you might pay half the price, but let's say you bought everything new. Your own vendor selections and input:
