Limited Run Ghostbusters Jumpsuit (7 versions!) by Magnoli Clothiers

Given that this patch and the Todd Cook Designs/AZSpidey patch is based on the one attached to ZedR 's screen used Stantz flightsuit I'd say the irregular shape of the circular border is pretty accurate.

Each and every one of the screen used patches differ to the next due to being hand made which obviously also results in individual quirks and misshapen areas.

First of all, regarding sizing: There is a sizing chart on our site. If you choose a standard size, your suit will be made to the measurements listed in that chart. It does not take into account what you wear underneath, what gymnastics you intend to do in it, how much beer you had on the weekend, etc. What is listed in the chart, is what you'll receive. Period. So, check ALL the measurements. Compare to an existing garment with the fit you want. If you want it to fit loosely over something else, make sure the measurements you choose reflect this. We're using a similar chart to what G&B uses, but we can't guarantee that our 44R, for example, will fit exactly like their 44R... that's why we're providing the measurement chart. So please check and do NOT order just based on the size without checking the measurements.

As for the GB1 patch... the original artwork was certainly a perfect circle, but embroidery methods in the 80s allowed for imperfections in the way one color overlapped with another. That's why you see the wonky circle in those parts of the logo where the red is touching the black outline of the ghost. You can see the machines also had trouble keeping a consistent thickness to the black lines. To get the same look, we made a wonky graphic because using today's equipment, a perfectly rendered circle will give you perfectly embroidered circle and perfectly formed black lines will be embroidered the same way. I really think the wonky graphic is the way to go with these. Once they are sewed onto the suits and worn, with the natural bending of the arm, it'll look great. Being display flat, as in a frame for example, might look a bit weird, but we're not selling these loose, so no worries there.

Hope that clarifies/answers all the questions and comments in the above posts...

Kind regards,
Magnoli
 
Unfortunately your sizing chart is confusing. "Compare to an existing garment" It's impossible to compare because apparently your using the a similar chart to what Gibson & Barnes uses. Wrong Gibson & Barnes uses a sizing chart not in half measurements.

I'm comparing my 44R suit from Gibson & Barnes:


The G&B has a chest measurement of 44 inches. Your size 44R has a 1/2 measurement of 24 3/8....I don't understand half measurements....Does that mean the full measurement is 48 and 6/8 inches?

The shoulders on a 44R G&B are 20 inches. Your G&B has shoulder measurements which is an equivalent to a Gibson & Barnes size 50....Nearly 4 sizes bigger!!

The waist gets even confusing. Your 44R has a 1/2 hip circum measurement of 25 3/8 which I can only imagine means the full measurement is 50 6/8 inches. The 44R on G&B has a waist measurement of 40 so your suit has a waist over 10 inches bigger.

" We're using a similar chart to what G&B uses, but we can't guarantee that our 44R, for example, will fit exactly like their 44R"

Your chaert is not similar in the slightest, I also don't understand why you don't use excactly their chart and measurements for your suit sizes. It's what people in this community understand, I'm not a seamstress or a tailor. I know my chest measurements and waist measurements and usually look for clothes that have measurements similar to other garments where I know the measurements. I can't do this with your run.

Looking at your suits, the only suit that will give me a 40 inch waist which is the waist size that is perfect in my G&B suit is a 34....A suit 10 sizes smaller....That does't sound right to me which makes me believe your measurements are well off....Especially as a size 34 suits which will then lead me to a garment that has a chest size 6 inches smaller than the Gibson & Barnes

Even Gibson & Barnes suits have a consistent measurement between Regular and Tall (Long)....A regular suit from them will fit someone between 5 "8" and 5 "11", I'm 5"9" so all the suit lengths are consistent. Your suit length varies depending on the measurement....I mean according to your sizing chart a 44L is longer than a 46L.
-----------------------------------

I would like to ask for a refund. Please inform me how I should go about doing this. I don't believe I can work out your sizing sodoku puzzle and work out a suit that will fit me so it would be easier for everyone if I forget all about this run. Best of luck to anybody who figures out what size they need!!!!!!!
 
Every other flight suit I've ever bought does take into account some clothing underneath, and I just asked a simple question, so I don't think the attitude toward customers is warranted. I just thought it was reasonable to assume you knew how flight suits generally fit if you're offering one for sale.

Magnoli appears to be using the standard nomex cwu-27/p sizing chart that all the nomex suppliers use which would tell you what to expect if you've ever owned one of those.

I'm a 5'6" short arse and I found after trial and error that a 42S nomex fits me perfectly with a bit of room for thermal clothing if needed when it's cold.

A lot of folks fall into the trap of ordering their exact size the first time around, I did.
But going two sizes up from your chest size based on this specific sizing chart seems to give the perfect slightly baggy look from the movie from my experience.
 
abaka9, simply e-mail sales@magnoliclothiers.com and we'll issue you a full refund immediately.

NuclearJungle, What I was trying to say clearly is that we don't assume anything at all. You pick the off-the-garment measurement that gets you the fit you want. If you want something slim fitting, then you pick the one that gives you a little room over your off-the-body measurements. If you want a baggy suit, pick the size that will give you plenty of room. By using a form like this, we let you guys get the fit you want. Everyone is different, so we don't assume what fit you want, or how much layering you want under your suit.

The best thing to do is to take a casual jacket that fits the way you want the torso of the suit to fit. Zip/button it up and lay it completely flat and stretched out smoothly. Take all the measurements from this and compare to our measurement form. You can do the same with a pair of pants to check the lower body measurements as well.

If you're still not sure, I'd recommend not pre-ordering, and wait until we get a few of these made and we (myself and other RPFers who want to help) can give you our height & weight along with what size we got to give you an idea of general sizing/fit.
 
Just wanted to post a pic of the GB2 hose connector.

I have no idea if the same mold was used for connectors in both films, but it gives a jumping off point for discussion.

Just wanna chime in and thank Indy for a) agreeing to refund me and b) discussing my issues across private messages and understanding that any criticisms I have or complaints I've griped here are due to my passion.

My plan is to wait until the products are released and some people have them to comparee sizes and then order....

All credit to Indy, I've been involved with the GB community long enough to know that some people can really be touchy when you ask for refunds and try to talk you out of backing out. Indy was perfectly fine and refunded straight away with no gripes and also admitted that there was no issues or bad feelings....My worry was I'd be blocked from buying when I was ready, which again is an experience I have had before in this hobby.

I'm looking forward to seeing the next updates and will continie to be as constructive as possible to ensure these suits are what the community has been crting out for
 
Honesty, I'm now pretty disappointed. Your 2nd version of the patch was pretty perfect- idealized logo, made using the screen accurate fabrics and techniques. But now it just looks like Todd Cook's patch, which I already own. I was looking forward to having a patch that matched everything, as I'm not wanting to replicate Stantz's costume, but make my own using my own name.

I get that I'm in the minority here, but I was hoping to have the idealized logo.
 
If Todd's patch is dead-on, and IM's patch matches Todd's perfectly, I don't understand what your issue is other than you now have an extra, highly-accurate patch?
That's not what I'm saying- because there is already a dead on accurate patch available, modeled from a screen used patch, I was hoping for the more cleaned up idealized logo.
 
ah yes, I understand now. I kind of agree on that one too. I prefer a clean, idealized logo, but made from accurate materials(I don't like the shiny white fabric many use on their replicas). The suit fabric and color are far more important to me than the patch.
 
I'm just thinking- if it's going to be a generic, yet screen accurate, gb flightsuit, it should have the idealized clean logo. But, if this is gonna be marketed as a Stantz replica suit, then it should definitely have that screen accurate patch.
 
they’re not marketed as generic suits. They’re marketed as Screen accurate copies of the suits on screen. The patch is a perfect example of what we seen on screen. Not an idealised version made using screen accurate materials.

I would imagine the ship has sailed on the patches by now and by this stage, the suits must be closed to having a prototype - still interested in seeing the herringbone though
 
I have to agree with abaka.
Quality idealised patches are readily available from many sources where as there are extremely few accurate patches.
Less than you can count on one hand in fact.

I'd much prefer to have a nice accurate patch on the suit out of the gate given that accuracy is the whole point of this run, rather than to have to replace the patch with an accurate version after the fact.

So Indy makes an idealized patch, and the response is, “No, that’s not screen accurate!”

So he makes a screen accurate patch, and the response is, ‘No, I want an idealized patch!”

Just goes to show you can’t win... :lol:

Keep up the good work, Indy! You’re more patient than I...
