I know. I honestly don't even remember seeing it on film. Maybe I just didn't notice. Even so, why would he need a broken headphone earplug anyway?

Some of the advertising photos showed the earpiece. I don't remember it in the film. Maybe they edited out Max having a radio and communicating with the war rig ??

It´s strange. On the publicity "blue" photo he has it; on the same "blue" take from the trailer he does not have it. Inside the rig he has it, in another captures he does not.

As mentioned by DH it may have been concieved as a communication device.

Here's a photo of my vest so far. The pouch on the left hand side still needs to be attached (I'm planning on heading to the local shoemakers to see if they can help with that). Everything was cut away with my leatherman and I'm kinda impressed I didn't slash everything to pieces. Roll on payday so I can do some more to it.

In the rough cut, Max finds and frantically reinserts the broken earbud. It calms him down considerably. It's never used as a communication device; I think it was just an affectation or fetish. The sound guy said in an interview that they used it to pipe music to Hardy while he acted, but that doesn't pass the smell test with me. (Although if you look at pictures of Hardy in training, he's wearing white earbuds.)
Max Replica said that he read that Hardy's take on Max was that he was a SWAT cop (thus the tactics and proficiency with weapons) and the earpiece made him feel like he was still in touch with his team. Maybe, but that's no tactical earpiece. Frankly, I'm glad they eliminated it because it didn't really serve a purpose, storywise.

I think they're pouches from canvas construction tool belts, maybe with embellishments like D-rings.

Thanks for the info! Maybe we'll see that scene in the deleted scenes on the blu-ray. Miller said there's at least 5 deleted scenes in this interview

Yeah, he originally wore that torn-off ear bud through a good part of the movie. All of those shots must have had the ear bud painted out, and that's no small amount of time or money. It was in the first audience preview in May of 2014. By December or 2014, it was all gone.

Looks good but the pouches are supposed the be sewn a bit lower on the vest. There are a bit too flush with the large pouch. See photos for reference.View attachment 480648View attachment 480649
Pouch sewn on, MOLLE pouches added.
Karol, that shoulder pad looks fantastic. How do I get added to your mailing list?
Same goes for the tan m4 pouch on the other side. It hangs lower.

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with the rear mag pouch on Max's left, is it torn down the seam?
Oddly, it looks like when they chopped up the triple mag panel, they separated all 3 before putting the left 2 back together.
On the other hand, they look fairly different in color to me. I'm curious whether they're different colors or one was much more weathered than the other.

Could be some where cut down the seam and separated and some were not. I believe 6 vest where made so they might be slightly different from on another. Same with jackets with some having stitching on the top shoulder arm seam and some not. I'm sure when arlo has time he'll chime in on the subject. Last I heard from him he was away working on another film.
