[Soulinertia]

You guys ready for some more?

 

[Iamjwpc]

Awesome man!! Looks great:thumbsup

 

[Pacino]

That second photo down of Brad looks like a missing person's shot to me.

 

[coolsnell]

Yes!

Kinda looks like his shirt from Kalifornia minus the tie dye?

Looks awesome

 

[BlackSugar]

That's cool, I'm gonna have to make me one of those.

Can you give us another angle?

Ask and you shall receive my friend:

 

[BlackSugar]

Thanks man. I have an old hippie friend that knows how to tie dye, I'll get'em to make me one of those

Edit: Yours have a weird stitching, which looks cool. Do you think it's an original he wore or just similar vintage shirt?

That shirts cool! found or fabricated?

btw Soul, how did that durability test with your painted Gucci shoes go. did they hold up?

 

[Soulinertia]

Its a found vintage shirt. Actually I think his is a ringer style shirt. Probably something like this:

I dyed the collar darker on mine to get it to match closer.
I don't think his has any white stitching.
But this one will due for now until I finish a more accurate one

The guccis didn't do so well. I wore them around for about a week and they started developing cracks. I think I might try again with a different base coat. They are pretty much just display pieces now.

I know everyone has all the red Olivier People's of Tyler's, but does anyone have the silver, black lens model of the 523?

He is seen wearing it during the airport scene (before his official debut), parallel the narrator on the escalator, in which the narrator says "If you wake up in a different location, could you be a different person?"

I know they have replicas of that color, but I've never seen one of that color in the official ones.

 

[BlackSugar]

Did he wear his red or postal pants with the tie dye shirt?

 

[Iamjwpc]

Pretty sure the red pants

 

[Iamjwpc]

Actually I'm not sure.:unsure could be the postal

You know, there's a certain level of irony here with crazily obsessing with Tyler's wardrobe, way overboard or not. To me, the point of Tyler Durden's odd and random wardrobe was simple; he literally doesnt care. He says this himself, materialism is worthless, and all we need are clothing, any variety. So he literally couldnt care less about it. So copying him then... it's sort of being an anti-conformist... conformist. Dont get me wrong, I have a few things too, mostly just the stuff I personally thought was cool, like the puffer vest, but to collect absolutely EVERYTHING? Then to the point even to obsessing over a simple tie-dye shirt... like, did you all even see the same movie I did? You never did answer my question either, about like when you do get absolutely EVERYHING... then what? A complete collection is satisfying, no doubt, but a bit empty in the long run I think. There are plenty of sad, sad, sad Durden wannabes out there, the kind who change their names even. I just really hope you're doing it as a collector and not trying to literally BE Tyler Durden. That would be just too sad.

Pacino, what is it that you're looking for in these forums? I literally can't figure it out. Literally. If your intention is to alienate yourself, then you've accomplished that. Literally.

TheRPF is A dynamic social network where artists, creators, collectors and unabashed movie enthusiasts share their passion for the props, costumes and models from their favorite movies, TV shows and video games.

The Replica Prop Forum is the core of the replica prop and costume community and is the central hub where collectors of original and replica props, costumers, modelers, sculptors, and artists intersect.

The purpose of the RPF is to provide a fan, family, and licensee friendly site for anyone who shares a passion for movies, television shows and other entertainment media to:

* COLLABORATE in researching the details of props, costumes or models
* SHARE information and discoveries relating to props, costumes or models with the community
* SHOWCASE works-in-progress, completed projects, and collections of props, costumes or models
* CULTIVATE a deep sense of community within both the prop community and the greater entertainment memorabilia community

TheRPF is not a place to bash other collectors and enthusiasts for their interests or hobbies, no matter how "sad" or "obsessive" you may deem them. The irony of Durden collecting isn't lost on any of us. We joke about it all the time.

For me, Fight Club is a passion. It's an incredible book and a film that spoke to me in a way that no other movie ever has. I think a number of us feel the same way. Collecting props and wardrobe pieces is just a fun hobby and a way to connect to the source material which has inspired us so.

Stop judging and over analyzing people. Some people are interested in costume designing, I find it an art. People can be whoever they want, we can be Tyler Durden or Willy ****ing Wonka... Don't tread on us man!

As johnnytropper said: Literally!

Agreed.
And I am not trying to pretend to be Tyler Durden. I just love to search for the different pieces from the film(and other films). It's like a scavenger hunt. And I love the look of all of the combination of clothes he wears(colors, cuts, materials, etc.) and that credit goes to Michael Kaplan and his creativity as a costume designer. He did an amazing job putting that wardrobe together. It was carefully thought out to give such a cool look. Definitely would not be able to acquire the same style just by going into thrift shops mindlessly grabbing anything off the rack. I am not succumbing to the hype of designer brands, I love the look of everything he wears, not the necessarily the brands. I am also a creative and artistic person so I could really appreciate the wardrobe as a form of art. I've even said that I wish I thought of that wardrobe and it wasn't in FC, so I could wear it without it being recognized as a costume from a movie.

I second this, to infinity...

Absolutely, Kaplan is a genius. Literally!
