Still, I respectfully disagree.. and I've been collecting my Indy costume stuff for more than 15 years.
You can only get so much for 2-300 bucks. I don't know if you guys are members of the Club Obi-Wan forum but the colour of the pants and shirt is discussed at great length there. The only pants and shirt that are spot-on colour-wise were made by the late Noel Howard, only recently has Anthony Magnoli of MagnoliClothiers.com been able to reproduce a pair of pants in the 'right' Raiders colour.
Even though you think you have the right colour, it will change in different lighting. You can never be movie accurate only scene accurate.
I don't think you can expect Sideshow to come up with the absolute perfect Indy 1/4 pants for a $270 figure when dedicated fans has put literally years and years of research into finding the exact colour of just the pants. AND still people, say - 'aren't they a bit too grey, aren't they a bit too brown? too dark?, too light?'
Sure, I've put alot of work into my Indy PF too, including painting the jacket properly dark brown and buying one of the awesome holsters you make Mfisher
I've also modified the belt with a metal keeper and fixed the whip holder and painted the bagstrap.
But again with a little custom work, it
is Raiders specific. IMO It's not just a general Indiana Jones figure.
Just look at the fedora - perfect!!! (needs a repaint) but the shape, the stovepipe look is so Raiders. The cut of the jacket, (although a bit too short) is definitely Raiders. The boots are the correct dark brown shade. The buttons on the shirt are light grey - in the other movies they were respectively dark greeninsh/brown (TOD) and dark brown (LC).
I own a real Mark VII Gas Mask bag as used in all the movies... The only thing that changes is the strap and buckle between movies. The Raiders PF bag isn't great, but I don't mind that much.
