Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a very long time (mostly doing NASA spacesuit stuff), but I recently got back into Ghostbusters after many years of being away. I wanted to share the super-accurate Ghostbusters flight suit I've been working on the last few weeks. I borrowed Adam Savage's suit that was made of Afterlife fabric for reference. There’s a lot of debate about the color of these, some say they were khaki and others say grey, but I thought the Afterlife suits looked really good so I matched it exactly. I also went one step further and dyed two slightly different shades of ripstop, one slightly darker for the sleeves and pockets because the original ‘84 suits were two-toned like this. I also incorporated a number of details that I’ve never seen on any other replica, even the high end ones. The collar stand, the little grommet holes in the armpit, the Velcro tab on the cuff sewn on TOP of the seam. The measurements of the pockets and zippers are mostly identical to the screen-used Stantz suit that everyone references, but I had to change a few things because Dan Aykroyd is much larger than I am. For instance the chest pockets needed to be closer to the center zipper than his suit because it’s much wider than mine. Overall I didn’t have to rescale the pockets too much, so I’m happy about that. Thanks for looking (I'm still around).
