These jackets are really amazing
Great buttons!I've been trying to find accurate 4 hole Raiders shirt buttons for YEARS! You'd be shocked how difficult it is to find an accurate style that's readily available.
4 holes, English Rim, Tan/ Grayish/ Olivish. 1/2" diameter. Machine washable and Dryer friendly. Seriously these are the most difficult details to find when trying to make Raiders replica clothing. I feel your pain!
These were some of the ones I sourced:
"the raging inferno that is SCREEN ACCURATE BUTTONS"I loved the full scale adhd/ocd train ride you took me on through this build. First we follow the best at cheapest game and reach the point at which the but-not-close-enough bug kicks in and then we follow that with learn new skills to create what isn't commercially available at the quality I now want. We tempt fate, put on the suit, dazzle everyone (and it really did because it's a d@mn nice build) but suddenly get caught in the raging inferno that is SCREEN ACCURATE BUTTONS. And now I just feel like another day in group at the RPF sharing the passion for perfection at any cost..... no screw that, as cheap as possible but still perfect... er than .... aaaaaaahhhhhh the lighting is wrong!!!! Oh and there was more than one shirt used in one scene over months of reshoots and..... I love it, it is awesome and you will of course make it er, awesome er.
It has crossed my mind ...Great work on a budget...Only thing left to do is go outside and roll around in the mud, get it good and weathered....!!....![]()
Oh my yes, the 50 dollar bottles of wasted resin learning that you can't get enough heat in such a small object to get the catalyzer to kick in or that you should not mix so much at once..... on and on. Yep, this is one of the steps to crazyville that were not yet seen in this build.Ya know....
Take a mold of the correct shape and size of button, buy resin and tint and make your own buttons.
Cuz that won't be crazy expensive and time consuming
Luv your build, thanks for taking us on your journey.
Fired up by this post I realised my parents are visiting my brother in California. I can get them to bring buttons home to France with them and then pick them up when I visit in the summer!I loved the full scale adhd/ocd train ride you took me on through this build.

No, the new buttons look a completely different colour to the advertised ones ... but given the length of time it took for me to pick them up and the word way colours look on a phone ... I can't really be bothered to send them back.If I could send a hug, you got it. This button story feels deeply familiar. Was there two possible styles used in the film? Likely, but maybe no. Do your new buttons look the same color as when they were advertised? I don't think so, if I am comparing the right two sets. If you go by the newly auctioned shirt (authenticity of the auction item??) will that mean you do, in fact, have the right ones anyway in a previous stash?
