This is a fairly simple build for the inexperienced and is also a very inexpensive build if your a first timer or on a budget. I will post links for the items i used Total build was roughly about $120 Scratch build having no parts prolly closer to $250. (Boots is a big $$ item) ![FB_IMG_1611712883892](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d258e86fbcf65585033756402672fd85ccede9a7.jpeg) ![FB_IMG_1611793516068](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/52336f7eae7bf2bef585a5de119ff1b4632a8910.jpeg) ![FB_IMG_1611712901327](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/1/195caa8f3a99f02beaed83d1d68126ba4f0a205f.jpeg) ![FB_IMG_1611712908588](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9e89ca2aaf16372f99ad58f577d4a7c2bd8a0738.jpeg) Patch can be found here…[Patch Czar | Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/patch.czar) ![20210126_202653](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8f31896ca97194b20ce50b1a65800764d0243b7c.jpeg) Dogtags can be found here [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z7YMM82/ref=cm\_sw\_r\_cp\_apa\_fabc\_NfneGbX9JNWM1?\_encoding=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z7YMM82/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_NfneGbX9JNWM1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) Or anywhere that makes them. ![FB_IMG_1611712952740](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7fa37ee5cd8b628a210408b6fcf59c711dc5603c.jpeg) ![FB_IMG_1611712947326](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c5ec955a7f540648e25f8ba74402cb358917b8aa.jpeg) These gloves can be found here > **[Men's 100% Genuin Leather Cowhide Driving Riding Winter Gloves Soft/Luxury |...](https://www.ebay.com/itm/274341035429)** > > 100% Cowhide Leather.

And a large brown leather pistol holster & pistol As I made my own belt & holster I used the same faux leather for both … you will need to make the holster as a real revolver holster is entirely too small.

I’m glad you pointed out the boots! People often leave out the footwear from a build in either budget or in their interpretation yet they’re super important in the look. ---
