Whoah....Just checking back, and noticed that the lengthy, well-thought-out response I typed out last week isn't here....Bummer
I do however really appreciate the feedback and hope that the accidental lack of response didn't seem rude.

I think those of you who mentioned my lack of proper hose pretty much nailed it.
I just got laid off, so I won't be able to run out and buy proper black/charcoal colored hose just yet.
I have one pair of "real" hose, but they are green....Maybe an inexpensive solution would be to hit the thrift stores to see what might be lurking there, or pick up a new pair of black woolen hiking socks...
I have always worn/used old military surplus stuff...I was thinking about how those WW1/WW2 style lace up canvas gaiters (dyed black) would look..... Probably a bit too much without the helmet and rifle :-)

I have a shorter leather jacket which is a natural "buckskin" color and rather plain...I'm considering the option of doing some mods such as adding front pockets, dying it black and *maybe* adding some chrome studs. It's just a thought right now of course :-)

Anyways, I have to get running, but thanks so much for the feedback! I'll write more later as time allows
