lost boys MARKO jacket replica!

[pennywise]

TWO of these for sale on ebay right now
"Buy it now" NOT mine. The price is a little on the high side but not unreasonable, they can be very hard to come by, especially the correct style like these.

It looks like the same seller "Buy it now" NOT mine. The seller doesn't reference "Lost Boys", but they obviously know these two tapestries are sought after. $200 seems excessive to me, but they are accepting offers...

Okay I looked at their other items and they have the Matador tapestry too. They must have had the intention of making a Marko jacket and changed their mind. Too bad, so many people quit this project and it's really not that difficult, just time consuming and a little spendy for the materials but quite doable. Anyway, it's "Buy it now" and NOT mine.

Welcome.
What tough parts are you referring to? The tapestries or patches?

That's wild for this. I've seen ones opposite color go for like $20. Some dude was clearly in here snooping or gave up.

There was a guy the other day advertising in here. Probably him. He said he had them all and was flipping them.

Yeah but the opposite color is wrong, so that's sort of a mute point. He obviously knows what he has and is probably a "lurker" here on the board.

Tapestries and patches

Have you checked Etsy? Ebay? Sometimes you find these rare finds on Marketplace too if you have a FB account. As far as the patches I know there are some sellers on Etsy but quality wise is unsure. I've never ordered patches because I'm not that far ahead in my own project. Other members here usually give a heads up to ebay posts on the tapestries so just keep your eyes on this thread.

Just rewatching and looking at the back right shoulder. Does this confirm then that BOTH matadors are required for a screen accurate Hero jacket?

Yes, that is correct for Alex's movie version. However ALL the jackets are different and honestly I wouldn't waste your money on buying another because your jacket will never be 100% accurate anyway. It's nearly impossible to find the real lady tapestries and patches. That's your call though, but personally I think the extra money could be used towards other parts of the jacket. That's just my 2 cents for what it's worth. I did do my movie version with the second matador ONLY because I happen to have and extra so I thought "what the heck, I might as well use it". I don't think it's necessary and kind of a waste of money.

I wasted money and bought both. LOL, But I wanted it to be movie-accurate, so it was worth it to me. Call me crazy.

If it's important to you and you can afford it, then it's worth it!

Anyone had contact with etmatthe recently? Messaged him about his awesome squid skirts some time ago but havent had a reply. Barring working out how to order from Sweetlysynnd, their squid skirts are the last item I need.

 

[etmatthe]

Yes sorry was just away from site for a bit. I am working on more squid skirts too. I am a perfectionsist. The only problem paying for R&D on the skirts is costly to produce.

I’ve started working on gathering the items for a jacket build. If anyone has any extra vintage items for the coat shoot me a dm. Got a couple original items thanks to Pennywise, and keeping an eye out for more. Will try and document my jacket on my channel, it’s a shame not more people have, would be interesting to see for sure!

Welcome aboard. Its a long old process but the folks here are brilliant. Any advice you need someone here will have the knowledge.

Thank you! Just slowly trying to gather all the various items needed. Scored a vintage Levi's jacket in the correct size for a reasonable price too which was nice.
