I have faith in Iris' judgment. Without seeing them in-hand, I really can't say which of the materials is the best.

That’s the toughest part. Things in pictures on a phone can look a whole lot different than in hand. At the end of the day, I trust Iris’ judgement as well as she’s always delivered as far as what I own from her. Real leather being used also goes a long way here.
 
Perhaps ask to see the swatches under 2 or 3 different lighting conditions?

Natural daylight (outside)
Indoors
Harsh spotlight. LED or similar.


Just an idea.
 
Did you ever speak to Iris about this?

Thanks.
I did but she said there isn't anything she can include. I asked about the belts a while back when i started the run and she doesn't have a way of getting the buckles for both belts.
 
Maybe it helps to add the outfit breakdown that is included for the $300 payment -- jacket, shirt, pants -- on the front page for people just coming on. The separate holster with no belt is spelled out clearly. I can see where some people might be expecting a web belt as well like with the Yunsil run.

Yeah i will definitely do that just so everyone knows what they are getting.
 
Don't fret too much about the bonus item idea. Honestly, I just want a top-notch release that's accurate to Raiders. Deliver that (in a timely manner) and I'm more than satisfied. I think a lot of us feel the same way.

Just for the record I wasn’t asking anyone to fret. Nor was I expecting anything and all I want is a great outfit too.

Was just following up on a suggestion given from another member, seeing as it was to be mentioned to Iris.

Nope not at all, mate. I was addressing Luis as I was the first one to suggest a "bonus item" in the first place. :)
 
Haha I know exactly what you mean.

If in the case that Iris can't properly scale real leather for this, I am sure she can find some quality synthetic material with good color and grain. Her Daryl Dixon set from a few years ago is quite nice and it used synthetic leather-like material; has great color and grain.

Yes that’s my hope also.

I am concerned over the texture of the leather at 1/6 but we shall see.
 
Just for reference, this is the material she found a few years back (although its black, it definitely looks like leather):

If she can get this in a dark brown, I'd be happy.
