Max's wears motorcycle or engineer boots, the right boot bears an MFP badge. On the back there is a black leather holster with a suede shoulder strap for his Smith & Wesson revolver with a 4" barrel. On the right leg there is a black leather drop leg holster for Max's double barrel sawed-off shotgun. The style of the pocket is known as a bound pocket. There appears to only be one pocket on the trousers and it’s a horizontal pocket on the right-hand side. His matching trousers are cut in a standard "jeans" pattern. Under the jacket, Max wears a light blue raglan t-shirt by Bonds, these shirts are still popular in Australia though this specific colour has been discontinued sometime in the 1990's. Also note that due to the low budget of the first film, only Max's uniform is made of real leather, with the rest of the M.F.P uniforms worn by the cast were made of vinyl. Shoulder caps of unidentified origin are riveted with 10-12 rivets onto the jacket. Max's jacket has a silver name tag with his badge number which reads "MFP 4073", there is also a bronze MFP badge on the jacket. The style of Max's jacket is a standard side-zip motorcycle jacket, though the lines and cut seem to be specific to the Melbourne area and deviate slightly from similar jackets available during the period the film was shot. In Australia this was known as a "Brando" style jacket. ![]()
