Hey Soul,
Any updates on the upcoming products?

I'm curious too! I'm hoping to buy a Sock It To Me shirt by Halloween. I have a pretty killer outfit lined up and that's the main thing that's missing. The star shirt is on my radar too.
Although, now that I'm thinking about it… that brings me to a couple interesting questions.
In the scene where Tyler gets the **** beat out of him by Lou, does anybody know what boots he is wearing? Maybe the Red Wing boots? Could be the Hodgman's though, hard to tell in that lighting. Also, does anybody know what his belt buckle is? I'm pretty sure it's a white tank that's slightly longer underneath the Sock It To Me shirt, postal pants, Mayhem jacket, and then one of those two boots and a belt buckle. Anybody know for sure?
Not sure what is on that belt buckle. It's been driving me nuts for years! Maybe someone here can figure it out?
These are the best shots I have of it:
I started the artwork to replicate it. No idea what that image is in the middle though?
The boots are definitely Red Wing in this scene.
Sock-it-to-Me by Halloween . . . that is a possibility.

By Halloween would be amazing!
Your buckle looks pretty good. It's still hard to tell what the image in the middle is though, but yours looks pretty identical as far as I can tell. Though, it's pretty pixelated, so it's a guessing game at the moment I guess. Only thing I'd say, which I could be wrong about, is the stars on his buckle look to me like they are all the same orientation, straight up. You have yours titled as they wrap around, which makes good sense, but from what I'm seeing in your screen-cap it looks to me like the stars are all straight, not tilted at all. Anyway, just thought I'd offer that, but I could be totally wrong.
I feared it may turn out that the boots are Red Wing… I literally just bought a pair of Hodgmans haha. If I could source the sports tank (seems unlikely) then I could do the smashing cars scene… might just have to sub in an all over print shirt though. Time to look for Red Wings I guess!
Thanks Soul, cheers!
Tyler's 4 Rings from FC:
The green ring is vintage, 92.5 Sterling. I believe the gem is glass
The eye ring is a vintage lenticular winking eye that I converted into a ring
The pinky ring is also 92.5 Sterling with a moonstone. I modified this one
The Easter egg ring is a completely custom creation

I have one of Soul's vintage lenticular winking eye that he converted into a ring. (it is different then the one he sells on the website) -- It is pretty awesome. I also own the Easter Egg ring I like that one too. I wouldn't mind owning the others.
I think Soul has one more of those vintage lenticular winking eye rings too.
On a random note, I was trying to sell a pair of hodgmans and I hate when people win and never pay on ebay -- Waiting to open a case today.

this is the info on op's that i've received from what I believe to be a credible source..
The way that they used to sell the Aeros at the OP stores was by having you pick the lens color out of a catalog of 20 or so colors. They would have clear demo lenses in the aeros and you just pick which color you want and they would make it for you. I actually still have the old catalog with the lens choices that very available at that time.I If you are looking specifically for the fight club color lens, then this is not it. An orange lens was used in the movie.
All I know about the lens color in the Aero is that Brad Pitt had many pairs of Aeros made for him in Tangerine Orange because it was on file at Oliver Peoples. It's hard to tell the exact frame color, I would lean towards silver because you can barely see the earpieces in the film and they look like they are a match for silver. The original gold aero is light shade of gold so it is definitely possible. The gothic rose color in the Op-523 is nothing more than a rumor. The lenses in the op-523 were custom made for the film. The closest color available at the time was called Coral. Gothic rose is very similar to coral. Coral has a lot of pink in it and it turns red when you wear it on your face. Oliver Peoples has said that the Blood Red color is the same shade of red as Brad's Op-523, but it has been darkened to make the glasses more wearable. So the closest you could ever get would be to have them custom make a lightened blood red lens.

How do I find that out? If I need measuring tape I don't have any... I wear a 9.5 and I feel like both the 9 and 10 fit fine if that helps any too?

That is pretty awesome. I had a feeling the Gothic Rose is a rumor based on all the photos I been seeing.
Does this source work at OP?

I dont think so but I have heard that info in the past about Pitt's purchases being on file, and that the aero and sunsets were in a color called burnt orange. I also pretty much knew that since OP are so easy about making whatever lense color you want and being a company that custom makes their lenses color, that the " gothic rose " were made for the film. ALSO, LIKE i told you guys, I purchased my op-523 in the first months of 2001, and I asked to have them made in the same color as the film. what i got was what op called, CORAL lenses. They were very very close to the film, exact a tad more pink.

I think this would be the ideal color for the op-523 if you want to get screen accurate

All of that sounds right to me. The earsocks on Brad's aeros in FC are gray which confirms the frames are silver because the gold frames have yellow earsocks. And all of the lenses for the OPs in FC are a custom mix, not a standard color by name.
Here are some comparison shots of 3 different Aero 54s worn by Brad for reference:

Speaking of sunglasses, anyone ever find it odd the same two sellers seem to have an endless supply of Oliver Peoples Sunsets? Between them both and looking at their selling history they have sold over 20 pairs. Do you think they are fakes? Which may be smart considering thats a grand per pair.
I am just wondering how they obtain so many and to my knowledge they are not sold in Japan. Anyone have insight?

I should note this is on Ebay
