The embossed logo at the base of the hydrant attracted my attention and I decided to do something with it -- I reproduced it and added three rotated copies, then made it 3D using alt-move nudges. At this point it began to look like a medal of some sort, so I began to think about uniforms -- probably spurred on by the hydrant paint job. I found a picture of a Canadian Mountie and replicated the blouse, lanyard and leather crossbelt. The pocket and flap are just selections of the base cloth with an added bevel and dots for stitching. The rumpling is from the distort>wave filter applied to the cloth layers with added shading. Buttons are filled circles with a radial gradient highlight and an emboss style. The belt and lanyard are filled rectangular selections with emboss and bevel styles.
