Very nice!

I just picked up this Tex Shoemaker holster on Ebay, it's very close to the one in the show

 

[pinder91]

Nice! I was wondering if someone in here was going to pick it up.

 

[Travis Smith]

So, you’re who outbid me! Haha. The search continues.

Hello, everyone! Been lurking here for a while. Thought I’d finally join and share my gear. Most of it is accurate and I’m actively searching to upgrade what isn’t (Parka, holster, boots). Not shown are my Flying Cross Command Pants and my Die Hard boots I’ve been using in lieu of the Red Wings. Bonus points to anyone who knows what the X-Mas sweater is from. Enjoy!

Yes sorry about that!

I really REALLY wanted that holster!!

And as you've probably seen they do often go for a pretty penny.

And where did you get that correct flag patch? I'm in the process of having a run of them done.

Another thing I've not been able to find is the pistol with the 4" barrel like you have. I had to buy one with the 6" barrel and I'm going to chop it.

 

[Travis Smith]

I actually had the patches made as well. It took me a while to find someone with the capability.

I got the pistol with the 4” barrel on eBay. The same listing comes up when you search: “Airsoft TSD UHC 134 revolver 4 inch silver”. I’d like to repaint mine to look more authentic.

Love your collection. Do you happen to have extras of the Hawkins patch? I need to upgrade mine.

Thanks! I don’t have any extras but I’ll PM you the link to where I got them.

Haven’t been keeping myself up to date on the thread because of work, but I’m loving catching up on all the updates now that I have more time. Dr. Jones Sr, are you still trying to work out the kinks with the accurate patches?

 

[Dr Jones Sr]

Update on the run of the special flag patches: they should be coming soon, and when they arrive I will become a Premium Member in order to advertise and sell them here. Thanks to Travis for help on the details of the patch!

No problem! Glad to contribute. Can’t wait to see how they come out!

Sounds awesome, Dr Jones! Travis, where did you pick up the corduroy jacket from? I've been scouring a few sites and haven't able to find the same BR jacket or a similar one.

It was an eBay find! It runs really big too. I’m usually a L - XL and this is a medium and fits me perfectly, even with layers on underneath. It’s not 100% screen accurate (the collar is a little different) but it’s the closest I’ve found to his so far.

Any changes to the flag patches from what was discussed earlier? I'm stoked to see these!

Were you still planning to look into the Hawkins patch as well? The ones Travis found look to be the most accurate out there, though I'd argue that the shade of blue could be darker. I'd really have to stare at some pics in order to find any other differences.

Agreed that the blue should be a little darker. I’m wondering if the seller on Etsy who had these made would give up his supplier.

Finally grabbed a pair of Red Wings! I’m going to have a cobbler add the correct Vibram soles.

Upon my season 2 rewatch, I noticed that the Hawkins PD patches might not say “Indiana” above the torch, as most replicas (including the nice ones I found on Etsy) do. It's hard to make out. If the word is there, it's significantly smaller. So, another reason (besides the darker blue background) to have our own made?

I think I have some pics from S2 that show INDIANA being there. I also find it hard to believe they'd make new ones and leave it out.

Here's some pics I gathered from S1.

Well that is a relief. The font must just be really large on the ones I have. Thanks for the pics!

 

[pinder91]

This is the closest I've seen to the actual screen used patch. The biggest difference to my eyes is that the stars on the bottom seem to be smaller.

Judging by pics it appears to be 4.5" tall and 4" wide.
