Not really fair to comment on the "Gunslinger" when he cannot respond. Seems like a "low blow" to me.
The original post was thoroughly discussed on a previous thread and the jacket and complete look are historic for the individual being portrayed.
I happen to know that the garments in the photo were sewn up by a tailor who is an accredited historian and that the tailor consulted a NWC/HBC Historian, a retired University of Aberdeen professor. The waistcoat is from a well know supplier of historic attire.
And, of course, the gentleman in the photo believes the belt is worn exactly as it was by the portrayed individual during that time.
