MGS3: Those spurs

Description

Nothing much to say about this. The photographer just loved my spurs as much as I do :D
Dropping a littel funfact about the costume: The part of the Sam-Brown-Belt that goes around my shoulder is a part of one of my handbags. I bought an ordinary Bundeswehr-Belt, made some loobs from fabric, added two D-rings and clipped on the Handbag-handle. It used to be an improvised solution but somehow I liked the shiny look of it so much that I just didn't feel like sewing a new one anymore.
About the spurs: Ocelot is wearing a pair of spurs that either doesn't exist (I have never seen such a shape before and I also didn't find it in any shop that provides equestrian items) or are hard to get. It was also almost impossible to find a pair of brass-made spurs (that would have at least looked golden) which were not too expensive - at least not one of those swanky western-riding spurs. And so I had to decide: Will teh spurs look boring but golden or do I want BIG DAMN FANCY spurs. of course... for Ocelot the latter. So they're just silver with a brass-weel but they look absolutely fabulous.
And most importantly their sound is wonderful (jingle jingle jingle)!

Definitely one of the very best Ocelot costumes out there. Only thing lacking is more pictures with strange hand gestures : P. Can I ask you how you got that excellent jacket? Did you sew it yourself or did you buy a military jacket somewhere?
