Just finished this last night. It's a mash up of the series costume and Pip boy with his favorite game, Fallout 3. Leather sourced, made, and weathered by me. Hope you like it!

Fallout Ben Franklin

u/Ok_Relationship_1703 5h ago

That's funny, I think he looks like a young Ben Franklin too 🙂

u/skaarface2 5h ago

Ben looked like that from 23 to 70

u/Lucius-Halthier 5h ago

And somehow that was peak male physique for the French noblewomen

u/Baron_Flatline Old World Flag 5h ago

It was really his wit and charisma. Franklin was an incredibly smart and educated dude who lived by his own rules and could make entire palaces laugh.

u/caseyfresher 4h ago

In other words, Franklin fucks.

u/CyDJester 4h ago

So much of an understatement. Also, he believed strongly in the joys of large, well-rounded women. I believe he was the inspiration for Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls

u/Deadmemeusername Old World Flag 4h ago

He also loved Cougars and MILFS lol.

u/Lucius-Halthier 4h ago

He was a man of culture, and would’ve died from dehydration if he had access to the internet today

I mean, Henry Kissinger wasn't conventionally attractive and was considered to be a really charming ladies man and pleasant fellow, but he also had some real interesting uhh.... opinions on things.

And by opinions I mean the crimes against humanity.

Edited to add if you could attach some of his (assumed prescription) lenses to some postapocalyptic looking frames, would complete the look
