lost boys MARKO jacket replica!

[WeftJamesWeft]

Are you referring to this. The piece is different from the other jackets, instead of using the main matador's arm they used the head and body. Too me it looks like they used the head off the stunt tapestry because I'm pretty sure the screen used jacket utilized both. The front two matadors are also on the back but reversed.

I agree with you that it's the stunt matador but his jacket is black. I've seen one before it's exactly the same as the stunt matador in composition but the matadors jackets are different colours.

The screen used Hero jacket definitely used both matadors and that's what I'll be aiming for with my Hero.

Yeah I vaguely remember that being discussed, but I don't remember any solid evidence that it was used on the screen jacket.

Only ever seen the black reverse matador on the jacket used in the promo shots, which is the one with the eyes.

It's an anomaly for sure.

Still no accurate leopard (

Besides that, though does anyone have a medium and large jacket? I wanted to see if someone could compare sizes just in case I need to downsize to a M because I noticed the L does sit a little bigger on me. I'm not sure if I want to have a baggier look or go with a little bit of a tighter fit.

I may be tripping but I could have sworn I've seen a clear digital illustration of the cheetah on Dwayne's jacket somewhere. Does anyone know where that photo is? I wanted to have a better reference so I can mark out where I need to eventually airbrush on.

which one of you Jacket fans has a matador and some patches up on ebay? I may have a home for them. A friend is thinking of taking on the endurance test that is Jacketeering. A Matador and the 3 patches would be a decent starting point for him.

dm me. Its gotta be one of you haha

Oh no I was just thinking about this guy the other day! Last time I heard he was very sick. So sad to hear!

 

[RedBluePhoenix]

Finally got a Lesco jacket! It's worn but in pretty decent condition all things considering. I just need to replace the buckle & get a new pull tab which should be easy to replace. Definitely my favorite jacket at the moment ) (ignore the broken hanger I accidentally banged it hard lol)

Very nice! Just gotta add the brass rivets by the sides of the pockets. Check out Tandy Leather, they might have what you need. I would age them BEFORE you install them. There is several methods to do that. PM me if you need any help with that.

If anyone has an original Back Off and Outlaw patch for a fair price, LOL Please let me know. Thank you!

I don’t post often in here but I’ve just recently went to a horror convention to meet the frog brothers and G Tom Mac! I thought everyone in here might find it somewhat interesting to see some pictures!

I wore my Marko costume and tons of people complemented it! It made me super proud of my work! G tom Mac loved the jacket and wanted a picture on his phone which he later posted on his Instagram story! Awesome right? Jamison Newlander also loved the jacket as well. He said it was “probably the best one he’s seen” I know he’s probably pulling my leg but it’s always nice to hear haha! Corey obviously loved the jacket as well and asked a bunch of questions. I had a great time at the convention and hopefully I can catch Alex next year! He sadly had to cancel this year

That's cool Corey did that haha, when I got my photo with him he was the same he kept asking questions whilst others behind me was waiting to get their photos, I was kind of taken back as he was so interested and said hes only seen about 6 marko jackets at the comic cons hes been to in total and asked why is it that we make Markos, I told him that its a lot of effort for collecting the items compared to the other jackets as they are extremely rare to obtain. Funny as when queing to get my photo he was wearing black glasses but as the lighting was on him you could make out his eye contact and as I was 5 people behind before my photo he was eyeballing the jacket I wore haha, pretty sure some people in front of me when they check their photos he was looking elsewhere! When it was my turn I pointed to him and said ' You killed Marko!' which he chuckled, thought it would be a good way to break the ice instead of 'hi nice to meet you' haha. Its kind of a privilege getting Corey on a good day I believe as he can be hard to deal with but it wasn't my experience. The best Lost Boys actor for me who is always a pleasure is Billy, I've got a photo and signed jacket on different occasions and hes always been a blast.

The jacket turned out great Sadie, and you look awesome in your costume. Those pictures are really cool, I especially like your signed Lost Boys record. Glad you had fun at the Con, it looked like a great time!
