Yes and no… Originals come up from time to time and of course there are many bids and they are extremely pricey… my harness is a reproduction from The Rigger Depot.
I can get a reproduction pack (square or barrel) for about $325 no actual parachute inside… but i just haven’t been that interested in it…yet.

My first impulse was to find one, which I saw one on eBay. Then it occurred to me I have a couple original ones!
That's a great looking repro.

Mercy Edward, you made your daddy proud! I love the Petty Prints on the back wall at the top. I know you said you loved Vargas but you never mentioned others. I sold off my George Petty originals just a few months ago. If you are interested in some of my collection I will consider selling them.

A friend of mine didn’t want to go to this comic con alone so he asked me if I would go so I threw on my pilot kit and mingled as the creepy old guy where nobody knew what I was supposed to be! Lol! This generation really sucks! Lol! There was a guy dressed as Captain America and fortunately he knew for obvious reasons… Lol! I can only handle about four hours and I packed up and left! I’m getting too old for this sort of thing! Lol!

Exactly! Kids don’t watch WWII movies and won’t bother. One even asked me “are you World War One?”Ed
We are dinosaurs !
Next time dress up as “ Game of Thrones” character and you might get more attention.
Well, if I’m a stormtrooper i can hide my age under the helmet. Lol!
This is how I felt everytime a costumed cosplayer walked past me without even a glance…

Oh I know… Captain Marvel… Superman… Etc. I am quite familiar with World War II era comic characters I’m just saying I am shown with Batman and it’s not out of character for what I’m wearing to be with batman since he was established in 1939 even though that’s the 1960s version! Lol! it was a joke…

My daughter and I went as a future Captain Savage and 'Lil Red who is a descendant of this one in the comics. The last time we met Stan Lee, I asked if we could expand upon the character of Captain Savage but one that takes place far in the future. He said sure go ahead, and send him a copy of the screenplay. Sadly, he passed the following year.
It is a screen play that I have been writing about a father and daughter bounty hunters. Our Costumes are a hodge podge of different ones put together. These are from a scene in my screen play where they have to go to a formal to confront a criminal Baron. We already have several costumes associated with the screenplay.
