Just re-reading the thread to make sure I've not missed any tiny snippet of valuable info and came across this.
I don't know if I'd refer to it as an investment, but if that makes you feel better then sure
Definitely a labor of love! And thanks man, I appreciate the nice words! Hope to see some other folk’s jackets soon here too.I don't know if I'd refer to it as an investment, but if that makes you feel better then sure
More like a labor of love. I've said it before and I'll say it again, your jacket is without question the most accurate replica made so far. Such a thing of beauty. I look forward to seeing how you incorporate and display it in your prop room.
Mercari is total garbage, avoid it like the plague. One look at online reviews will confirm my statement.
Thats what I thought. Just wanted to check. Thanks man.

Hey that's really nice! I believe I even have the same peacock lying around waiting to be used or just trying to sell it. Good job!Hi guys~
Just wanted to present my work here as well, and to thank everyone that posted helpful resources. I've been reading all your posts and felt like I've had companions on this wacky journey. It was a very fun project, but it can also drive you mad sometimes
My biggest difficulty was finding the tapestries..and ofc they weren't the right size, so I just worked with what I could find. For many of the patches I made the vector designs in Illustrator and had them embroidered locally. Some were fabric printed as well, to lower the overall cost.
And the most interesting ones, were the 2 original chain-stitched, which I made from scrap fabrics I've had around, collage work.
Thank you again or all the resources, and if anyone needs the vector files for some of the small patches, lmk!

My best friend is the seam ripper. God knows how many times I've taken apart that sleeve and reattached the parts. I lost count after three, four attempts.
It did, like two other times! It's a total scam!
