To distress patches, I've roughed them up with a hole saw-based shredder tool, then added some black wash, then rubbed some light dirt into them, and then spray with clear matte spray paint. I think the spray paint does a lot because I prefer the matte look over the shiny polyester fibers.

I'm uploading a pic & here is my listing for 303 leather bandolier.

Osnaburg cotton would be a pretty good choice for the wrap parts. The outer robe would almost require a blanket. The tea dyes and Rit dyes look great, but there's a really easy way to dye things brown. It's called potassium permanganate. They use it to clear out iron from swimming pools. It...

I've been making some of the Lawrence of Arabia style bandoliers in leather if anyone is interested. They're dark brown leather. A lot of Lee-Enfield rifle owners are buying from me. And probably a couple Nathan Drake cosplayers. lol.

The Star Wars fan base has always seemed like one that was obsessed with screen accuracy. Do you agree? And if so, why do you think that is? What is it about Star Wars, or its culture and community that makes its fans so committed to making such accurate props and costumes? Thanks in advance...

SloppyJoe, no one knows for sure. But I can tell you by looking at it again that it does have characteristics consistent with the top part of a boot, with the toe and sole removed. In other words, take some pleather goth boots and turn the right one into a gaiter. That would be a better bet, I...

No. You have to leave a tab, about 2.5 inches long, right along the rear sleeve seam, and then fold it up and rivet it. Spend some time on this thread.

So, as many of you know, I am making pleather Mad Max jackets just in time for Halloween. I posted photos of the prototype before, but recently was able to grab one of the production jackets and even weather it up. I think they look pretty damn good.

If anyone is capable of making runs of the body armor, or other items, send me a PM. I am always looking to partner with prop/costume makers who can provide items for members of my mailing list. I've received interest in Immortan Joe costumes, but I already have my hands full offering Max...

HAHA! Yea, you're totally right. I looked at it myself.

The boot in this shot doesn't look much like Max's boots in other shots. It's probably a stunt pair.
