Here are the parts I used for my Keel Haul. ![Screenshot_2016-07-10-17-34-03](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1103555f2c0ccc5cea4389bab1e76031d0ff53b4.jpeg) The jacket is a used brown leather jacket that looked close to what the figure had. I added the Keel Haul patch made by me (artwork provided by Ron Rudat), 3 stars (what a Vice Admiral would have) for the shoulders, navel wings painted antique gold, and ribbons that I thought would go with the character based on his filecard. Most are original, but some are altered with acrylic paint. Also, not pictured, are a standard pair of black boots and black leather gloves. ![Screenshot_2016-08-17-15-56-54](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/510a68d53452ab5523f72a95707711c5b1e72125.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2016-08-17-15-34-23](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8cc6ebbc5a87ea41fb728e75cd06b94a09f8aab5.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2016-08-17-15-34-31](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/beb909a170199624188dbfe7d0dedb1117cb0f91.jpeg) ![20210127_112619](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/754b35482540e458e6207c1fb5191319479d07e7.jpeg) ![20210127_112627](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8dc4fdccbc050755367288266b45f7a38b720feb.jpeg) ![20210127_112631](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9a35c35d6bb58779aba4ac0d01ca4019ecec5b9e.jpeg) The pants are tan cargo pants and the shirt is a Red Kap chambray shirt. I attached star patches to the collar. ![20210127_112949](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/37f960ed6c2beacdcd4954e8d5f3596147293fc2.jpeg) ![20210127_112935](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/792fc8a8c42bdea6df93341acbf8d174f676b33e.jpeg) The hat is made from several parts. I’m a budget guy, so I found several of these things at a flea market. The hat is an Army officer cap. I don’t have the double scrambled eggs, but that’s ok. I made the white cover, the front badge I bought for $1 at the flea market, and to give it that “headphones over the hat look” pilots would have, I removed the original part that was inside that gave it that stuff look and used electrical wire to bend into shape. I think it came out decent. ![20210127_112649](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/524482ff6c7093826d2849bd379ece5abddda4d7.jpeg) ![20210127_112653](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a817cc453bb81d5941c4c4e1f70973a253fc6564.jpeg) ![20210127_112711](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/31331c1a541d2305bf73903d90b3792d6efdbc4f.jpeg) ![0824161513](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ee8d7d6a603ec8f845159e1d11a145c945b570aa.jpeg) The belt and drop leg. I bought a drop leg holster with one leg strap removed and painted a toy M1911 pistol silver. The belt itself is a standard black leather belt that you can add a buckle to. I made the buckle from two parts I found on eBay. A round blank buckle and a stick on anchor that fit perfect. I have to repaint the buckle because it’s been sitting in a tote. ![Screenshot_2016-08-17-16-57-55](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5cec147aea3bffb884c7b2105a5aef2ca01d3532.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2016-08-17-16-58-06](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3821cf0c85974a79d8d2cf7e545df16dba45e1f8.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2016-08-19-11-08-11](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/469ce87267bc70f694a6fbdd716dad4ecf624450.jpeg) ![20210127_112838](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9a2b98e8332b802acf8ff952702bde1259803f9b.jpeg) The final product. Excuse the banana…it was JoeCon 2018 and they didn’t allow weapons…plus they’re good for you. ![FB_IMG_1529802908941](https://forum.thefinestcc.com/uploads/default/original/2X/1/16f4bbb7a4adeddeabbdeb3f445d2f5032bbdf81.jpeg) ---

Nice, I want to make Keel-Haul as well . Can you tell me where you had the arm patches made for the jacket? ---

I made the Keel Haul patch (straight from Ron Rudat’s art he sent me) and the rest came from eBay. The collar should probably have pins, but I couldn’t find a cheap set at the time, so I went with patches. I am still planning on purchasing pins and maybe upgrading, but I haven’t wore the costume in so long, I kind of forgot. ---
