Limited Run 1979 ALIEN - NOSTROMO CREW UNIFORM

[Bondo Fett]

Allright, I should have started another thread...

I took this picture of Dallas and lightened it up to the point the shirt seems close to the "Ivory" color. The green shirt seems a bit more blue than the pistachio color (to my eyes).

Am I beating a dead horse here? Being over-critical (probably both)?

At the risk of complicating things/re-inventing the wheel, here is my Gildan Ultra Cotton T in pistachio, with embellishments, photographed under natural light. The lettering on the back is olive drab/grey.

This reads into the blue for me. I seem to remember the sets had lots of fluorescent tubes but they shot with tungsten film. Might help explain why Ash's uniform reads blue when it is in fact seafoam green.

Apologies if this is too distracting or hijacking.

Hello there!

Would like an ivory in a large size, please! Thanks!

Thank you!

I’m interested in an Ivory in Medium please.

Thank you, list updated.

Hi, been following this for a little while now- truly outstanding work so far- please add me to the interest list for a blue, and possibly an Ivory too size 3xl [or slightly larger if you do em] cost permitting.
Again, marvelous work sir, well done!

Thank you sir! I will be updating the project soon.

That is true and a good point about the seafoam green/blue.

The little horizontal strip of fabric is the correct color of the shirt I was trying to match. I managed to work it out, but yes.. this is a finicky color

Sort of a gray-green on that strip. I wouldn’t call that a seafoam green myself…

But the “embellished” Pistachio shirt looks good in the photograph. I’ll probably just stick with that.

This color is referred to as "Seafoam Green", the lighting while taking the photo and the fact that we all view the same photo on our computer screen, does not convey a 100% accurate representation of the true color of that strip.

NostromoCrew,
For what‘s worth, on the color called Sea Foam Green, I was involved with many commercial nuclear plants that required this color in their major equipment specifications and especially control panels. The color, per my eyes, was always most like the second sample in your “color palette” which for some reason disappeared as I wright this reply. Some of the X-Navy submariners hated that color. Love your Nostromo work.

Major Update

Hi everyone,
Biggest update so far! The first post now includes the fully revised size chart, updated price list, And new photos of my final version of the crew shirt.
(The final version will of course come with the brass buttons. They are too precious to use on samples...)

 

[NostromoCrew]

I should also thrown these in the wash to show off how well this fabric wrinkles, another day...

...For some reason I really like the way the epaulets sit on the shoulders:

NostromoCrew was kind enough to let me try on his first prototype shirt earlier this year. It was a great garment, my only nitpicks being that the fabric weight could be higher and the epaulets sturdier. This week he sent me his second prototype, and to say I was floored would be an understatement.

First of all, the fabric was a heftier, ridiculously comfy linen (you'll never want to take this shirt off) and the epaulets so sturdy that a xenomorph could grab them and hoist you to your doom without a single seam ripping.

This shirt is not only the most accurate replica I've ever seen, but also one of the best made shirts I've ever worn. The fabric, fit, and construction are top shelf. NostromoCrew has gone the extra light year and it shows in every stitch. These shirts (and I've ordered three) are worth every penny. Do not hesitate.
