I left out another scene where he wore the charcoal wool suit: steak house scene with him and H.W. and Tilford walks in with his group. Probably my fav scene. "Excuse me gentlemen. Excuse HIM gentlemen" :rotfl:rotfl:rotfl "I told you what I was gonna do...."

And then there's this but I guess it doesn't count since it's a deleted scene. H.W. giving him a straight razor shape up:

I definitley favor the wool suit and it would be my first choice but I can understand why people may find it less appealing. I think it's WAY more interesting than your average Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs black suit, but I get that it's a little monotone. But I think that's the same problem that I have with the quail hunt outfit. The hat, jacket, pants & boots are all earth tones. That makes it monotone also and not to mention very similar to Bill's outfit(colorwise).

He wears the brown plaid jacket from the quail outfit just as often as the wool suit throughout the movie but he mixes it with all different vests/shirts/pants. I dig the brown plaid and think it is just as iconic as the charcoal wool but if it's mixed with something different than the quail hunt pants, it won't look so washed out.

Can't find pics but a good example of a different combo would be in Eli's first sermon scene. You get a good look at it before and after the sermon: Brown plaid jacket(same as quail gear), iconic brown hat, light grey stripped shirt, black vest(same as quail gear), dark grey pants(they may have a pinstripe. I don't have the BR only DVD so hard to tell). Brown calf-high boots laced to the top. Watch chain & pens.

I just don't think it's a good idea to chase a scene specific look because we want the accessories that it would come with. I think it's better to accept that we're asking Rainman to do a character that isn't that accessory heavy. Aside from the pens and watch chain(which can or can't be concidered accessories) he should of course have his pipe and maybe his metal wiskey flask. If the wool suit gets done, maybe a shot glass from the steak house like the one he swiped from Tilford. Or a hat as an accessory to go on the side of the DX sculpt(maybe that's too much to add to the DX). IDK if Rainman does printing but some big, dukey old school $100 bills like he offers Paul Sunday would be cool.

As much as I'd like to see Rainman work his magic on a shotgun or other extras, I'd rather see him do things that define Plainview more.
 
if you're in the UK and have lovefilm, this is now available to watch online. think they added it fairly recently. gonna take another look - been a while since i first saw it.
 
:yess: can't wait to see it painted with the sweat marks on the hat. This is gonna be killer.

Any thoughts on my rant about the outfit fellas? I know there's some anti-Quail and there's some "don't care". What's the latest concensus?
 
No interest in this character but the oily Daniel would certainly have been the more Iconic, a bloody bill and an Oily Daniel would have made quite the display!
 
oily Daniel could ultimately alienate customers. I think the quail hunt outfit is sophisticated and iconic for the character. However the bowling pin scene would make for a fantastic display! If it were up to me, I'd get a poll started with the two or three outfit choices and let the people decide.

With the hat :dunno

The only time when Blood and Oil would truely mix!
Sculpt w/hat looks promising, I hope he goes for charcoal pocket watch suit.

Poll sounds like a good idea!

Well I am not prepared to start the poll here as I don't know how far gone Rainman is with the outfit.

As far as I was concerned he had made his mind up.
