Got my laces and pants from Randy; can't wait to finish up this suit.
Hey Larry, how tough was it to pull the round logos off the ankles?

Seth's Nostromo gear is top-notch. I traded him my Solo costume for a set.
He bumped into Adam Savage at DragonCon and was complimented on the Nostromo outfit. :thumbsup

Thanks! I'd like to do a second pair of pants in the blue/green color and find the hawaiian shirt, but he does have that unique jacket.
And yeah, here's a picture of all our modified PF Flyer shoes. There was a group of about five of us at DragonCon this year.

LOL ... the Nostromo version of "My Three Sons" ** queue the music **
Yeah Bret's costume is extra unique. I'd like to do Ash's, but lack the sewing craft to do it myself. Maybe someday ....
I hope you had fun at Dragon-Con!!

Got some more progress done.
Lacing strips, piping and patches attached and some pockets on the inside.
Since the jacket is staying green I went with yellow piping.
Opened the edge seam and inserted the piping bias then resewed.
Had to remove the collar opening with the velcro, the jacket is so old it was falling apart as I removed the stitching.
The patch and strip on the left sleeve are a bit wonky, the jacket apparently had a large rip across the back and down the sleeve and the repair lost about a inch of surface material.:unsure
The pen holder on the left sleeve is still usable.
I decided it needed pockets inside so using the same material i used for the lacing shaped them large enough to hold a DVD or small book than hand stitched them in (sloppy job)
Only things left to do is the text on the back, lacing and department pins.

I was under the impression that the pen pocket on the sleeve was removed on the SA jackets, or am I mistaken?

Sorry, Funky, I just saw this. It wasn't hard at all. It's sewn on, so you clip the seams and pull off the little dab of whatever they used to baste it in place.

No, actually you can see it in several pictures posted in this thread. You would think that they would have had it removed first! Apparently costumers didn't see the necessity

Nice job Eric!! I especially like the nice large inside utility pockets idea (for carrying all your con-krap)

Pen holder left on otherwise I would have removed it.
Also I think the piping like on the shirts was just sewn on to the back side of the collar but that just looks sloppy as if it was an after thought (probably was)

Is the auction yours?
I don't think you can link active ebay auctions unless they are yours

Hello,
Its an RAF (British Royal Air force) MK3 cold weather jacket, the ones in the film are the "old" style one and very hard to find, the newer one are green and fairly common, so you'll have to dye it my friend! use charcoal dye with a small bit of purple dye, oh yeah give it a few washes first to remove "water proofing" chemical, check these all the info is here but let me know if need a hand,
