[Indy Magnoli]

The gloves are finished and available for purchase at my site: http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=272

Kind regards,
Indy

oops, link not working...


BTW - any news on the pants?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Should be working now...

As for the pants, I'm still waiting on the fabric from my manufacturer.

For the sake of accuracy, what was Heath Ledger's size ? M ? L ?

Thanks

 

[Indy Magnoli]

I would guess M... but just a guess.

-Indy

 

[Hecubus114]

Indy - I know before you said you probably wouldnt, but have you given anymore thought to making the suspenders? Its the only thing there isnt a quality source for thus far...

 

[Indy Magnoli]

I would if I could... but I have yet to find a quality manufacturer of suspenders. I'll keep looking and when I find them, first priority will be the Joker suspenders!

Kind regards,
Indy

Indy,
GREAT price on the gloves - they look fantastic. Looking forward to upgrading my costume with these.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

Oh, and Indy, I know it's a strange fabric to work with, but ever consider doing the futuristic jacket from Back to the Future II??

Doing a 100% accurate jacket would be a nightmare (as others on this board know well), but I was thinking of perhaps doing an "inspired by" type jacket that would be relatively accurate, but a sort of real-world version. What do you think???

Kind regards,
Indy

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

I know someone who has an accurate material for the red parts of the jacket - it's a rubber material that would need molded, but the sleeves I would see being done in a sueade or something as apposed to rubber.
Sorry for going off-topic here.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Drop me a line and we can discuss the details...

Kind regards,
Indy

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

Email sent.
If we can get things rolling - and I mean SERIOUSLY rolling, hopefully sometime soon we can start a thread on it that actually produces results!

 

[Jawafive]

Finished these today, finally.

Oh what the heck, here's what I got...

Indy Mag-shirt, vest and tie...cannot say enough about the quality:thumbsup
The suspenders...got them from a member here.

Pants...actually ebay, but they are womens, so the wife has to bring in the flair of the leg.

Soho lab shoes correct socks...
Mask -Tyler H. Awesome piece! thanks...

Still need a coat, blazer and gloves
And desperatly seeking a professional looking wig.

I recieved the chain from zootsuitstore.com today, and sadly, its not really accurate at all the links are, like, "double links" (its almost like two chain woven together). The Joker one is simpler - that kind of chain that lays "flat", if that makes sense...

 

[Jawafive]

Are you sure that's an indy magnoli shirt? In the picture with the shoes it appears to be a costumebase styled shirt.

 

[Jawafive]

I would also really like to see pictures of your zootsuitstore chain. I was holding off on purchasing.

Yeah, doesn't look like one of mine. Forget the detail... there's no Magnoli Clothiers label at the inside of the neck.

Kind regards,
Indy
