lost boys MARKO jacket replica!

Anyone who has spent hours looking for original patches from Marko's jacket or even the Cleo tapestry, what are some of the words you've used in searches? I've spent a lot of time looking for a few but never know if I'm looking under the right category. I would love to get the 13 and the skull with the dagger in its mouth. I have replicas but I don't really like them. I've even asked a few of the people who have made the patches in the past if they would redo them closer to the originals and they haven't gotten back to me.
 
When they make Halloween latex masks they do a mix of latex rubber and acrylic paint, I believe it's a 50/50 mix. Here's a tutorial from a company called Distortions Unlimited. The company has been in business for 40+ years and the owner's name is Ed Edmunds. He is a legend in his craft and a true gentleman. Distortions Unlimited has a website, email him explaining what is is you're doing and I'm almost positive he will respond with some useful information.
Okay thank you. I'm going to watch this. So far the acrylic has held up pretty well. I let it get rained on and left it outside and no problems yet. Trying to do an accelerated testing of it.
 
I have made another batch hopefully final batch of squid lures. I think this is version 7ish. I lost count. But I have a bunch more other failed colors of purples and pinks and different holographic fleck in the lures. The ones on prop store use silver fleck and not holographic. As well as getting the green fish hue correct on the green and yellow. It's hard to get that blue green color along with the muted sandy yellow. I tried getting more pink in it as the ones on propstore weren't just orange and blue they were more salmon. The first picture doesn't show it as well. But in person the last set of lures had a strong pink undertone.
This one I got the right amount of pink and orange colors blended to get the final product. The 2nd picture is what the current and latest version of lures is. The colors I think will naturally mute to resemble the lures on propstore jacket in the future. I didn't want to artificially age them or apply a stain, because I'm imagining that's just how they will look if left to time. These are also 13 inches long so probably longer than what wad originally on the jacket based on the peacock piece on the shoulder.

I may have a spare 13 patch but I'll message you when I get them, currently being held at a friend's address so even I don't have them yet
 
Would've liked to go to this if my entire outfit was ready. Still really cool that they're doing this again. I'll probably go next year. For anyone interested though this is really cool. You can check out videos on YouTube of this event too. Sean Clark has it on his channel.

Live to Ride, Ride to Live patches are on Ebay, vintage from the 70's. The guy has got over 200 of them and they are really cheap for what they are. I've seen some of these on vests but not as much as single items so grab one!
