The Van Gogh trip!I still really like the picture of you with the wing.
The Van Gogh trip!
Ordered a white "marcella" bow tie from ebay in hopes that dying it the right color will give me a very close S6 tie look.
Until someone can track down the right weave fabric used, this will have to do. I will get some pics when it arrives...
Can't wait to see the results! By the way, did you manage to learn tying a bow-tie?
I've been trying to no success. I will have to have one of my actor buddies show me in person since watching instructional videos have proven useless.HaroldVonBraun said:
As for the new tie I ordered, it's a pre-tied and coming from the UK so it will be a few weeks.
Texture looks good and the size/shape of the tie overall is a great match for the Smith tie.
If they can't help, you're welcome to add me on skype, i could try showing it over video-chat, my skype name is "gussgriswold".
I think the boots are absolutely phenomenal. I'm really impressed with what you were able to get done on them for not being All Saints. The whole outfit is super good, with the exception of the shirt. I would recommend Steve Ricks if you have quite a few dollars to drop. I believe his Smith Shirt goes for $300, but it's dead on accurate and I adore mine.
If you don't have 300 dollars lying around, you could also buy a pretty accurate shirt from iTailor.comfor about 30€ as far as i can remember.
I have a "Utah" shirt on order with Steve Ricks so I should have that soon enough.TheGallery said:
Please, do share some pictures when you recieve itAnd perhaps review some aspects like the fit, cut, worksmanship and minor details.
Where on the itailor website did you find that shirt??
follow this instructions easy as pie
Go to www.iTailor.com, select patterned fabric for the shirt and go to page 17, select the 6th fabric on the page, select long sleeve, box placket, box pleat, tab collar, no pocket, 1 button angle cuff, no contrast fabrics, white buttons and buttonholes, no monogram, then fill in your sizes. All in, it's about $50. (credit to ninja_risu for finding this option)
Yep, that's my iTailor shirt - all the details are on Manofsteel25's excellent breakdown.HaroldVonBraun said:

So I've got a Utah shirt on order with Steve Ricks, Magnoli will be sending my adjusted tweed back...and I just put a deposit down on another Steve Ricks made item.
If its the green great coat, you won't be disappointed. He showed me some of his stitchwork on it and it's beautifully made.

It's NOT the green coat. I actually don't like that look for the Doctor very much and have pretty much made up my mind to NOT cosplay in that costume variation.Risu said:
It's not some huge surprise, I just can't talk about it yet until I get my tweed back from Magnoli.
I think it is one of his tweed jackets. Or screen accurate parts for his Magnoli jacket. Just me guessing?
Received my authentic S6 boots today. I am very happy with them and I love that rich leather smell coming from them!
Truth be told, I still prefer the look of the S5 boots - I've come quite fond of my close-enough 5 boots so it will take some getting used to wearing these, but I've already started to break them in and I am happy I ordered a half size bigger. My "actual" size would have been too tight.
Here's the Abbyshot tie.
The color is not so bad and although some have said the tie is undersized, I feel it is just right.
I'm hoping to eventually get an even better version of this tie.
It's quite good size-wise i agree, the main problem is the shinyness though, whereas the real bow-tie is quite matte. Nice to see you learned to tie bow-ties
is that what I think it is
if it is, nice I'm jealous as Yoda would say wait you must
I have a trip to Central Park this Friday for photos, so more pics to come.
