Got a pair of replica's today as an early birthday gift. So that solves one problem for me.

How do the sizing work on the jackets im not sure what size i should get i wear a size 40 suit jacket but they made 40L 40m and 40s. What do the letters mean is that how long the jacket is

Whatever normal size you wear for a jacket like a suit, go one size down. For isnrance, if you wear a 42, go to a 40. Or if you want, go down 2 sizes. There are short, regular, and long. Get a regular, since it will look better and be better to wear

Although I believe the coat Reese wears in the film is indeed the (L) Long...

Anyone know a place for the pants or a pair that has no back pockets at all so i can at least have a seamstress add one

 

[Tsak123]

Shane mind sharing pics of the tags in your pants

 

[terminator fan]

why don't you try get some rugby pants of ebay uk might be cheaper than having a back pocket added yourself?...

Could have been. But, it should definitely be worn big. As for the next pieces (shirt, pants, shoes good luck to ya. The shirt is easy...sort of. Pants are needing more research. And shoes are well, hard to find

I found a white pair with the right pocket and I'm gonna get them and dye them grey with rit dye

Which material is the best match for the shirt?

I'm leaning towards 3. I know many are saying the shirt is black and white striped, but here for example:

Sure looks like light grey and dark grey stripes to me... More shots in post #5

Ofcourse it could be an incredibly dirty black and white shirt. Hard to tell.

Where did you find these fabrics? I have been searching and have yet to find anything close enough to match. Nice find!

Be aggressive with it. RIT doesn't want to take to certain types of Rugby pants or whatever you might have gotten. I've been through more RIT trial and errors than I can remember.

Pants were the most difficult thing for me when painting them, I must have studied them for weeks before putting the first bit of paint onto them. Once I did that I beat them down with a heavy sandblock, and walked them under my feet around my garage giving them a nice soiled look with the oil stains etc.

As for my pants, I found them at a Goodwill in the city. As for the accuracy or "84" status of my Vandals. I now own the 08 and 2015 pairs, so I've nothing to truly be let down about. Payed good deals for both and have been offered a hell of a lot of dough for my 07 or 08 pair. Whichever you say. These were actually a birthday present, but I didn't mind seeing as I can wear them more care free than my other ones when in full costume.

Just received mine. This one is a good match as far as I'm concerned.

I found rhe same pants as shane posted on the first page. I dont understand why he said he got them at a goodwill store because the ebay link jas the same pics that he posted on the first page. First he lies about changing the straps on his vandals then he lies bout the pants. If anyone wants a link to the pants let me know

 

[ShaneHelms]

No my friend, the ones I have no I got at Goodwill. Enjoy the ones on Ebay, they are entirely the wrong color. Ps. if you'd like to see the straps changed on my shoes please let me know, I'd be happy to not oblige. But for someone on here since June, no doubt due to Genisys shouldn't be picking words with someone who's put almost three years of research into this costume.

 

[Tsak123]

Please i would love to see them with different straps. And are the pants that you posted on pg 1 your pants

 

[terminator fan]

I don't get all the hate towards ShaneHelms, aren't we here to help each other out and share ideas not pick at each others costumes :/..

Anyway i came across these grey pants they are almost perfect apart from the don't have any pockets but i could over look that, the elastic waist band looks almost identical to Reese's in the pic where he is getting the squib put on him, and the hem going down the leg looks good to...

Its a shame they are from a prison supply site grrrrr..

 

[ShaneHelms]

We all love to see something and the first pair I bought were the ones on Page 1. Then I bought the pair I actually made into my Reese pants which I found at Goodwill two years back or so.



Those look good Terminator Fan. I'd go with them if your able.

Awesome find on the pants from page 1, ShaneHelms! I have been trying to find a close match for a while. Do these have a manufacturer name tag in them?
