lost boys MARKO jacket replica!

[CharlieTearz]

I can't find the leopard / cheetah / whatever that is thing anywhere. If anyone has a lead on one please let me know. Thanks.

The leopard/cheetah tap is a beast, and I mean a freaking BEAST to pin down. Took me over 4 months scouring the internet EVERY DAY and enduring several massive heartbreaks when I found one only to have it slip through my fingers.

Tell me about it! I ALMOST had one the other day... but someone outbid min in the last 5 seconds, and I didn't have time to re-bid. So the search continues...

Damn dude, that looks outstanding! Thought it was pictures of the original before I read your post. To the posters above, I know that feel. :unsure
I have to ask though, the two ladies, what are they??! I spent alot of time trying to find those girls.

 

[CharlieTearz]

I have a question, my replica is almost done... do I post pictures here or start a new thread? What's the etiquette on this?

 

[bdude93]

Feel free to post any of your Marko or any lost boy stuff here if you wish! I've decided to do ALL four of the jackets INCLUDING Stars, so I will be updating the thread very soon. Currently have Marko and Paul complete, David's base jackets and stars almost complete with Dwayne on the way

The two ladies are cotton tapestries. Got lucky while scouring eBay !

 

[CharlieTearz]

Cool! What did you search for to find them?

 

[CharlieTearz]

My version of the Jacket is not complete yet, but I was dying to post a picture anyway. Tommyfilth made the majority of the patches, and did a kick ass job at that, but I'm having the Skull with Flame Wings (below the "OUTLAW" patch) and the Viking patch fabricated locally right now, however I printed them off on Fabric Paper so I could go ahead and mount the "OUTLAW" and "I Don't Get Mad I Get Even" patches. The Warriors Warbird from the back is also being fabricated right now, and I'm still searching for the Slave Girl tapestry for the back, but may have it printed to Canvas in the meantime until I can track her down.


I'll post more pictures from different angles soon (since it hangs differently on a body than a hanger and I don't have one of those cool Torso Manikins like bdude93) along with designs I used for various custom elements (such as the Warriors Warbird) for anyone one who may be making their own.

Here's the Warriors Warbird I used:

Ok, Viking Patch still being made and I'm trying to decide what to do about the Slave Girl from the back, but here's my (almost complete) version.

 

[CharlieTearz]

Here's the three tapestries I used :

I plan on upgrading it with the correct colored Leopard tapestry, but it's SO hard to find, and I'm happy with it as is.

Awesome job. I am SO jealous of your guys' jackets. I've wanted one since I first saw the movie.

How did you do the collar detail on yours?

 

[CharlieTearz]

Thanks! I had ordered the wrong Matador tapestry at first, it was way too big! And it was all cotton instead of the velvet. But it did have a nifty border around it, which I used for the collar. I rather like it but I will probably put a thicker white line around the top.

 

[CharlieTearz]

I just won a tapestry for the Snake Lady from the front. For anyone else looking, I found her under the listing of "Wall Tapestry Lady Feline Handler". The neat thing is that the border of the tapestry is what they used for the Collar on Marko's jacket. Here's a few pics for anyone who may need them to make their own in case they can't find a copy, plus a black & white outline of the collar pattern. Hope this helps.

 

[Zeppo]

Awesome. I had suspected that it was a tapestry border. Nice find!

 

[Jordy]

Thanks a lot for the info mate :thumbsup

Coming along nicely!!!! FYI the canvas skull patch on left sleeve... I have a ton of them screen printed if you want one let me know. Sewn edges just like original. Also the large handlebar skull patch on same arm, I have two left from when I had mine made, only thing is, the skull is mirrored and facing other way. Other than that it's great. Let me know if you'd like me to PM u images of either or interested in buying. Sorry for delayed responses charlietearz haven't been on here much.

 

[CharlieTearz]

Yes! Please send me any images you have , especially the Slave Girl from the back. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
