: Gary White's hats are...nice, but in no way do they compare to

: you can get the real thing for half the price.
: Stop fussing over these minute, idiosycratic details about the
: costume (brim width, jacket length, Harrison Ford's underwear
: size under the trousers, the exact number of stitches in the shirt, etc. ) and get on with your lives. You have all made collecting this outfit a complete bore and it no longer holds any interest to me. I'm just glad I obtained everything in quantity long before you all made it so dead common by blabbing everything to the Web.

: work, persistence, and patience.
: Final words: Get on with your lives, and by all means, get a girlfriend (or boyfriend).
