Hello, all you geardos!
Another long time reader, first time writer here.
I've been trying to get my Grimes outfit together for quite some time now, and it's all falling into place slowly, but surely. I've got the shirt, hat and the duty belt. Just a few details remaining on the torso part (badge, patches and nametag). But my real problem currently is the pants. Since I live in Europe (Yoo-roop, for you yanks
), specifically: Sweden, I am having a hard time getting a uniform supply company to ship some pants to me. Ordinary brown pants isn't a problem. Most stores who ship internationally have those in stock (heck, local stores have brown pants...), but I want some real-deal, braided uniform pants, and that's been a real headache for me.
I even tried to contact DocRobbins with the uniform company, but still no reply. So does anybody know of a store willing to braid some uniform pants and ship them internationally? I am more than willing to pay the price to complete my outfit.
Other than the pants, things are going nicely. I will buy the bagde and patches of eBay (that hollywoodpropbadges one looks really nice), and my hat was bought from a local americana store.
This reminds me that I must take some photos of the ensamble soon...
The gun is a work in progress, but I've been an avid airsofter for twelve years now, so I know of a few quality replicas on the market, which will be bought as soon as I can find the elusive holster. There's not really a shortage of holsters, but again a shortage of people willing to send a parcel to Yoo-roop...
So if anybody has any idea where I might turn to in order to buy myself some pants, please let me know.
