Excellent review, Gipetto. Looking forward to pics, if possible.My set just got delivered! COA says I got #22
Won’t be able to put it together until after work but here are my first hand impressions:
-Whole outfit (jacket, shirt, pants and satchel) is weathered but lightly. Seems like he went light on the weathering maybe from fear of over doing it? Better than nothing though
-jacket feels soft and like a nice grade leather. Front pockets don’t open at the side like the real jacket. That’s not something I’d use so not upset about just noting it. The zipper is metal and I think it can actually close but I don’t want to try lol
-shirt is meant to have the sleeves rolled up as there are no cuff details. Shirt has weathering on the chest pockets but no other sweat stains anywhere from my quick glance. Love the tiny in scale buttons though.
-pants look really nice imo and color looks pretty accurate though I’m no officionado about that. To my eye, they’re definitely close enough. There’s some slight dirt weathering close to the bottom, but again, nothing too heavy.
-gun belt and holster is real leather which I did not expect. Buckle looks hand made but nicely done especially compared to my SteveO’s toys belt which had a rough looking buckle. I think I can shape it to the D ring look potentially to be more accurate. No metal keeper loop, but I have mine from the SteevO belt I may use here.
-web belt is my least favorite. The strap itself is the wrong color I believe and it’s just your average ribbon. Feels a little flimsy. But the buckle is a heavyish metal which is nice with a metal end tip.
-satchel is also not very accurate imo especially in color, but does have magnets in the flap with a real leather strap.
Overall though, I think it’s a very nice set. The price is high, but having it in hand now, I’m satisfied, especially with the added real leather elements in the belts, straps and holster which I don’t believe was disclosed (or maybe I just missed it). And even if you had no other intentions of getting super accurate pieces separately (like gun belt and web belt, etc.), given all it comes with, it’s a great set to have as your one and only without real need to upgrade.
Excellent review, Gipetto. Looking forward to pics, if possible.
Thanks guys I'll try to get some pics later today, but might not be until this weekend for me.Yea, for real. Really appreciate that breakdown, @Gipetto0812
Great pics! Could be the pictures emphasizing it more, but looks like your pants and jacket have a little more weathering than mine. My jacket pockets definitely don't have those cuts on them though. They're pretty smooth like the rest of the jacket.
This looks like an clothing excellent set! Congrats to everyone getting it.
Is that the JX S01? I always find the hips to be a little slim/narrow on that one. Curious to see what you think with a slightly larger body.
Will you be looking to sell this jacket then? Calling first dibs if you do...Some quick iPhone shots of the set while on lunch.
distressing is minimal but it is there. I like it

No sleeve cuffs of the shirt which is kind of odd but I suppose you don’t see it anyways.

the bag is a bit rough though, lol. I can still find some purpose for it.

lastly, I’m not sure if this is intentional distressing or not (not much of an issue cause I’m using the Jagzz jacket) but my jacket has cut marks on the pockets.
Overall at first inspection the set is pretty nice. I’m quite happy with what I got. I’ll be throwing it all on a figure a little later with pictures to show.
yea for sure, I'm definitely enjoying it as is right now as well. Can't help but think of things to mod thoughI see what you mean about the bumps on the pockets. I think that should be a piece of cake to achieve.
I have a couple ideas brewing.
Thank you. I’m on the fence about any mods right now. After a few days of staring at it all I’m sure something will pop-up, though. Haha.
Yup. Exactly what I’m thinking. If it’s needed, dampen and then use a small roller (pencil, pen, sharpie) to help get that impression.I'm guessing since it's real leather, I could just soak the pocket flaps in warm water for a couple seconds then 'emboss' is from the underside. That's my plan right now, then glue a small round stud or magnet to keep the shape.
