Ok, Super nitpicky fine tooth comb mode activated!
Exactly what I want!
I agree on the pictures; it's rainy and getting too dark out for pictures, I'm going to have to try to get them done during the day outside. The angle is partly just the positioning required to get far enough back in our apartment to get a clear shot...the place is not conducive to full body picture taking

I'm going to have to come up with better strapping for the knees. Part of it probably
is stance. My left foot's natural position is at about a 60 degree angle due to development and injuries as a child, so standing with my feet more or less straight on is a pain. I might move to elastic strapping instead of leather, as it'll flex better and hopefully keep the positioning. I might have to reposition the velcro too. Fortunately the straps will be hidden by the kama and will match the flight suit.
Upon closer inspection of the right holster, I think you're right. That's the first leather piece I ever finished, and I was pretty heavy handed with the dye so what weathering is there is hard to see. I'll hit it with some lighter colors to even it out compared to the rest.
Definitely agree on the vest. Strapping it tighter and shifting the position did not do much to alleviate that issue, so I'm going to have to go back to the tailor's board.
Yep, leather girth-sash-thingy, old plastic buckle. I can paint it up to look metal-ish, or I might replace it with proper metal buckles. I actually have all new buckles coming in tomorrow that are the same color as my chicago screws and armor, so I could add two straps and buckles to the girth thingy.
Ironic that you should mention that
. This is my old kama, and when I cracked it out of storage I realized that none of the edges were finished except the top, they were all just un-hemmed fabric so I went through and hemmed them all, lol. I can definitely weathering them up to get it good.
Thanks for the input!
