Makes the pyro look too much like an engineer:
This makes they pyro look a bit too much like the engineer.

Some suggested improvements:
Narrow the face mask a little.
Change the gloves to be black (shiny black with an ash black overly or suede black with an ash black overlay)
Make the clothes less baggy
Make the suspenders look different (probably make them ash black)
Make the pants solid black (shiny black with an ash-black pattern overlay)

This should address this issue.

As of another cool idea for the set: Switch out one of the weapons for a "hot rivit gun" that shoots hot rivits replacing the flare gun for a long range attack. (Suggested stats for valve, more contact damage, less burn damage, larger magazine size.)

Otherwise this is amazing.

Read Valve's submission guidelines for statement.

A good test, take the character, put an all black "silouette" shader filter on it so no form can be seen other than the outline and see how it looks as you pan it around.

Does it still look distinctly like a pyro? If not, than it needs work.

From the submission guidelines:

Gameplay: TF's characters have distinctive silhouettes that help a player differentiate between classes in the heat of battle. Consequently, we tend to avoid items that overtly obscure or confuse these silhouettes.

Valve knows more than anything about how players recognize characters in the heat of gameplay. They have done extensive studies on it, and have specifically designed that guideline for the purpose.

Small adjustments could address that while still providing the proper feel.

Upon reviewing each item the "Riveter's Raiment" is the part that needs adjustment.

The rest of the set is perfect as is. I gave my thumbs up and down as appropriate now on that review. (Thumbs up to all the set except that one item, which got thumbs down for requiring further improvement.)

The idea is sound, BTW. The body clothing just needs to be adjusted to look more like a Pyro.
