My random accessories

Well, so much for making thread names that explain what you're about to see. 
This is just to show my impulse purchases and random acquisitions.
WEB BELT from Todd's.
One solid brass, one gold colored. I defy you to tell them apart! ;D I found one place (not counting the "solid brass" edging on the back) where it can be seen that they're different. Other than that small detail, they're EXACTLY the same. Weird. Guess the "gold" color is actually brass. Which is great! I'll compare with my Wade Egan belt when I get it.
GLOVES from Todd's.
I think sizes run a bit small on these. I'm usually a medium in gloves, but I should've gotten a large in this case. Regarding quality, I don't think they look like you can use them too roughly. The seams seem weak, compared to other leather gloves I have, and something was ripped a little bit under neath the thumb. I'll write Todd about it, it's probably just a mistake in the specific glove.
STAFF OF RA HEADPIECE from Todd's.
Looks great, and really good weight to it! When you hold it and look at it, it is obvious that it's "fake", ie. it looks kinda mass produced. But that's only something nitpickers like me notice, I think.
TEMPLE BAG from Todd's.
Size of the bag seems spot on. It's VERY ligth colored out of the box; white. Here's what I've done to mine so far:
1: Soaked it in a strong coffee.
2: After a while, I decided to add some food color. It had an added effect, and I found out it could be used to create stains on the bag.
3: Drained the coffee and covered the bag in topsoil.
4: Rubbed the soil in like crazy, while it was still wet!
5: Beat exes dirt off the bag
And there you go! The coffee gave a great base color, and the dirt added the look that I wanted. Here's the result.
It's still a little wet, as it lies there, so it might change color a little. I think it has a great basic look, but I might add patches of darker color, or distress it in some sand and dirt. I'm worried about rinsing it out, though... I don't want it to loose it's color.
HAT RIBBON from Todd's.
Compared to the ribbon on The Henry, which I believe is as accurate as can get, unless Adventurebilt saves the 100% correct for the Deluxes, Todd's ribbons are spot on. Impossible to tell the difference just by looking at it. Below is a pic next to the Henry ribbon. It's good!
LC BLACK TIE from Magnoli
Great quality! Didn't actually mean to purchase it, but when offered as compensation for some hickups with the pants, who am I to say no?
