Hey Asmus, thanks for keeping us in the loop regarding this figure, it's definitely keeping the excitement going! That said, I have some observations just to make it even more screen accurate.
1 - The diamonds on the belt need to be embossed like the horizontal lines and they have faded gold leaf inside.
2 - The ties up the side of the vest are a dark tan colour.
3 - He has a bloody tear to his trousers above the left knee (from the fall down the cliff before he arrives at Helms Deep).
4 - There are 5 ties up the front of his vest made from a braided cord and the ends are finished with black stitching. I've swapped all the vest ties of my Aragorn figures using 1mm brown La Stephanoise braided cord and it looks as screen accurate as you can get at this level. These are also attached to the vest with a figure of eight knot. (I've attached an old WIP photo of my ongoing custom as a reference, they've been tied properly since!)
(Sorry if I seem fussy; this is what nearly two decades of obsession with the costumes from these movies will do to you!)
Hope some of these help!

The trousers stay the same through the battle as you can see the tear when he's fighting. He does get the new red shirt though.I could be mistaken, but Aragorn got a new set of shirt an pants at Helms deep as both had rips from his fall off the cliff. While the pants are still black, Aragorn's new shirt was reddish.
Also, as a figure, while the tear in the pants could be accurate, a hole in the pants exposing a knee joint wouldn't be appealing IMO.
