That looks about right. I just went back and looked through some screencaps to refresh my memory. Looks like his belt has a leather keeper on it too though.

I looked through his post, but can't find where Boss says what material the name tag was from, but my wife figured it out. Oil lantern wick material. After stenciling it black and fading, that is genius as it seems as it already had the same texture.
So I think we all narrowed down the name tag material until further correction. But I will update after we append it to our coat.
New screenshot of Quints name tag from my 4k copy of the film added. (Sorry, I know it's a 4K, but it was the 70’s)

I removed the cuffs, cut off about an inch of the sleeve and reattached the cuffs with the same off-white thread as the other repairs.
I actually bought a vintage pair of the actual shoes. You can see them back in the thread.

Yeah, I might not go that route, I have a pet peeve about short sleeves on my arms.
Also, I am using the M-65 Field Jacket that has Velcro and no V-cut down the sleeve.
So it will take a little work to replace the Velcro with the buttons, buttonholes, and that v cut.
Do you know what size those buttons are? Mine might be the same size as the M-65, though they are a different color.
Also, what size lantern wick material was that?
Correction: You said it was Military name tape then? I could have sworn it was wick. Let me know the dimensions if you could.
Thanks so much for your assistance. You have helped a lot of Captains on this island.

Yeah, that was a bit of a tumble calling them more accurate. I was very wrong and I didn't mean to sound cocky when I didn't even do the right research.

Is the dark jacket that Quint wears in the town hall meeting scene with the chalkboard, etc., a CPO shirt? Very common back then. My brother and I had them. Thanks for any info.
When it comes to vintage stuff from the 70s I always order a size up.
Was looking up source materials for a Quint build and while reading through this thread, my buddy sent me this. I had never known about this scene:
NO FREAKING WAY!!!!! I was going to Lowes to get some plumbing. Stopped at the local thrift, went to shoes......
My size, ready to stain and muck up....
I swear, I hadn't ever heard of Sperry before reading THIS thread, THIS week. Now to post in my new quint build thread. Today, I win.

I need this same info. I want to do the chalkboard scene. Anyone pass a guess on the dark coat/shirt he has over his normal blue shirt?
And not trying to say.....but yep.... I am spoiled or anything but this was 2 dollars at thrift today. I will modify the scallop on the pockets to match....

I'd suggest you simply wear them and let them get stained and mucked up on their own. Or not; they're your shoes now.
Almost done actually but I love them because I can wear the whole outfit to town and only Quint fans will have a clue.I'd suggest you simply wear them and let them get stained and mucked up on their own. Or not; they're your shoes now.
Pockets done, now maybe a change on color on buttons and wearing it a bit to age/weather:
