Good one Jean...about the only thing I see wrong is the boots. At that time most likely your pants would have been tucked into the boot tops. Oh...and of course the gosh awful colors. But not bad for a first try. dntn Just kidding Jean...looks good. Except your too clean like most of us.

not bad buddy, but you missed at least one other thing! also how do you know those arent mule ears
Because they aren't square toed.....at least in the photo they don't look like it. Nor black....seems doubtful.

those arent black boots, those boots are filthy. but good eye so far!
Well I am about as far from an expert on these things as, a bird is from a Mack truck, but here goes, Boots look like old modern work boots: pants look sort of like faded jeans but I'm sure that is just my eyes, Where is your knife and looks like a very modern deck railing in the background. You would fit in real nice around here chrrs
believe it or not the trousers, and braces are period correct. the trousers are a dusty light blue, and the boots are a "harness" style cowboy boot. a dear friend and a lovely lady made the shirt for me.
OK help me out here What are "Braces"?
An older name for suspenders Jerry.

From what I can see in the pic and what has been said, I can't add anything
Would the braces of that time period have had the metal parts on them?
