No, I think because I ordered them right before the Holidays I may have to wait a while. Also, the store is in Australia so shipping will probably be longer than I would usually expect for such a small item.
I'll put up pics when I get them.
EDIT: got the straps today and they are just that: straps. They look the part but dont connect in the back like the ones SWFreak got. Don't bother getting the ones I got unless you just want them for material.

Here's the pair I'm patterning mine off of
Not the WWII suspenders they used for the TV show, but they're constructed exactly the same(minus the modifications they made, obviously). Even has the right hardware.

Mine came in today, they look exactly like yours.

Just ordered about four yards of 2" heavy duty tan canvas and another four of 1" heavy duty tan canvas (which the propreitor of the local Army-Navy store said was commonly used on suspenders in the WWII era). I've got clips like on his suspenders, am ordering the leather ends and have a reasonably good pattern. I'll keep you posted on how it comes out.

Found the link for the wash boots on e-bay. I can't find another pair. Still this is not the exact boot. It is the exact sole. It seems to have been removed and placed on the shoe that i posted earlier.

GD - Where did you order the belt from?
For those of you that are in need of shirts, check you local second hand/Salvation Army/Goodwil stores. I just went an had a hard time picking just one shirt..so I got two for $2.00 each.
I also found some tan suspenders for $2.00 I'll be using the parts to modify my suspendenders.
Anyone had any luck finding something to use for the pant leg stripe?

Having never worked with leather before, how would I go about asking for the thickness and/or quality of leather for the first holster in this link.

For the pant leg stripe, just go to your local fabric store/warehouse. they'll have plenty of rolls of the 1" thick chocolate brown stripe for the legs of the pants. I got 5 metres of exactly what I wanted for £2.00 (about $3.75)
As for the belt. Its easily found once you know what you're looking for. There's plenty out there with very slight variations, so just pay close attention to the fine details and shop around a little. Give 'Luger Belt' and 'German Belt' a quick search on eBay.
They're also available in both black and dark brown. Mals is obviously the dark brown one and it can be seen in a few episodes and a lot of the publicity shots that the colour of the belt and the holster didnt match in the series, so there's no call to worry too much about changing the colour to match your holster or vice versa
SWFreak Pm on the way.
