Be sure you get old-school overalls, not something fancy and trendy; Ebenezar uses his clothes to work in. I don’t remember where, but he was also described once with a white t-shirt, which will help with the Atlanta weather. Finally, he also wears spectacles—it’s only mentioned in TC, but some fake wire-rims wouldn’t hurt.
Eb dresses like my father did, who was a chicken rancher and commercial salmon/crab fisherman. We lived in California, so ditto with the white tee shirt to go along, though my father favored a muscle tee shirt. Wonder if Eb carries a hanky in his back pocket, a well broken in scrape knife in the hammer loop on his hip,[you have no idea, it would take him an hour to select a new one], keys to his boat and pickup, change, box of matches, oh and his precious very sharp and carefully maintained pocket knife in a pocket. In his chest pockets he kept a stub of a pencil, usually the flat carpenter's kind, toothpicks, reading spectacles and his pack of Camels.. He also wore a pain ball cap of heavy work cotton material, gray usually, but with age, grease, dirt, it always had a greenish tinge. So if Jim wants to assign magic to any one of those items for Eb, he may do so with my blessing.. But any one of those additions would make Eb a very authentic farmer in my eyes.
