: Forgive the redundancy if this is getting worn into the ground, but can anyone give reliable replica sources for the shirt and pants besides Angels and Burmans and Dometakis? Is there one unanimous source for each item?

: Thanxs!

: P.S. How does the LC holster compare to the ToD holster? I really haven't been able to tell much difference, if any. So, presumably the Webley MKVI holster that works for LC could decently pass for ToD? However, would the Colt New Service .45 ACP he totes in ToD fit snugly in this holster? What's the sentiment on this one?

: Thanx again!

Actually, I was told that Western Costume Company in California made some of the pants AND shirts for the Raiders production, which, considering the number of each item they must have had made, doesn't sound inconceivable. Western Costume Company responded to me saying that they could reproduce anything I wanted, which tells me they at least have access to a pattern, whether original or not. The only problem is their exhorbitant price tag.
Also, I have one of the replica Webley holsters, and it looks a bit different from the TOD holster-the flap retaining post appears to be mounted on the holster in ToD and pushes through a hole in the flap, whereas, the LC holster has the post on the flap, with a leather tab that wraps from the holster body on top of the back part of the flap (hard to describe, but I hope you see what I mean). Also, the ToD holster appears to be a bit shorter than the LC holster. I personally think that both holsters were made for the production and no "real" actually existing holsters were used. Perhaps the LC holster was copied from the original British Webley holster, but I don't think they copied it exactly.
My 2 cents.
