Dear Costume Designers for 19th Century Shit

Don't assume that people aren't paying attention. A woman's dress or blouse with an obvious zipper seam down the back is just as jarring as if someone in 1870s London is toting a Browning High Power.

The other thing is that when the characters are using period-correct guns, they almost always appear to be very old. They don't look like the new or newish guns that they would be.

How many 1950s westerns have we seen with contrails in the skies? Round thermostats in antebellum mansions? Plastic shotgun shells in 19th Century films?

Attention to detail is a big problem.

Or you can do a cheap re-make using some current stars?

And maybe get a second Oscar for Jeff Bridges?
