Rick Deckard Blade Runner 1982 - Soup to Nuts!

I placed order. How long till you ship?

Hey! I replied to your DM!

The jackets are in production now, so they should be completed shortly.

This was a very small run, so they shouldn't take too long.

It is possible that holiday shopping and shipping will delay them a bit, but I will post here when I get the freight info!

Hi!
First of all, wonderful job (and awesome initiative you have)!
I am curious about the exact level of blaser's color saturation. Is it more saturated irl than on the store photos? (those studio lights are pretty bright and can eat up the color, I guess) Is it somewhat closer to the tone of your original blaser?
I am thinking about ordering too but need to know for sure that blaser and trench coat won't blend together

I would say the most recent photos are a pretty accurate representation of the color.

I can dig the sample out tomorrow to take a few more photos against different colors.

Thank you! That would be wonderful!
Can I ask about what fabric type (hope I translate it correctly ) is used?

 

[Egon]

Here is one of the sample jackets next to some paper towels, and alone with the photo adjusted to the best of my ability to get the color accurate.

Would you/have you sold the tie shirts or pants?

Can't wait!
Also thank you for a small cashback

Sure thing! These were a little weird in pricing - they were expensive to produce and I wasn't sure what all the taxes etc were gonna shake out to. UPS also lost a box, so I'm short on inventory, so I had to adjust a lot.

I did offer the tie awhile back, but I'm working on a few more BR items for my Surplus line - either things I will do in runs like the Holster, or things like the shirts.

If the blazers do well, and the material is still available, I can do a run of trousers, but as of now, that'd be an expensive proposition

Beautiful workmanship Egon

Egon sent a pm about a shirt related project

While this isn't my final trench, I got to finally don the "full" Deckard kit recently.

The trench is the last mock up, my PKD blazer (still have a handful of 44s left) paired with my version of the chambray accented shirt, printed checked tie, my veg tanned belt (I think it's pretty close) trousers I made in a brown melange wool, adidas stan smiths (discontinued leather version with round brown laces) my version of the newspaper, and a Casio to stand in for the watch. Really happy with the fidelity of the pieces - they feel like clothing and not a costume.

Looks great!

I love the outfit paired with a big classic detective moustache. A fun twist. So good.

Hah, yeah...I can't bare to shave my mustache for every costume. I figure if I can't grow my head hair for a costume, why shave the stache?

I have been kicking around doing an OT X-Wing pilot so I can keep it and look more in character

 

[joberg]

Love it to bits As for me, I would've added more wear & tear to the whole outfit

Does anyone know the official name for this multi-corded piping around the cuffs and fronts of the raglan shoulder seams? I'm trying to look up how to sew this sort of trim and not finding anything other than regular single-corded piping. I can think of how I'd try doing it, but I'm wondering if there's a better or 'right' way I don't know about.

It's simply double piping; plenty of video on line showing the technique
