A kinda small thing, but I snagged this today and dig it, especially since you CAN actually (barely) see it in the film.
Tom Cruise Shirt from Oblivion
- Thread starter Art Andrews
- Start date
Very cool piece. But I can't help but think if Tom had any problems with bottom of that shirt. For a piece of wardrobe that you barely see, why add a strap to make sure it doesn't move? It definitely makes the piece more interesting.
There is one scene (trying to find it in the movie) where you see his jacket come up and his shirt if shown (he is really arching his back). My guess is, it was made so when things like that happened, you saw shirt and not bare skin.

Exactly. William Shatners shirts from Star Trek III and IV all had one of these on it...or most of them did. Just keeps you looking cooler in the film and not showing your man-gut!
Great screenmatch!!! :cool

The fact that Tom Cruise wore them is reason enough not to buy them, lol.
Shirt came in today. Very cool.

Is this custom then? Thats the only reason I can figure you bought it.
And thats the only place you see it in the movie? Tucked under the jacket?

It's always possible that they may have intended to have scenes of him without the main white jacket to just show the bare shirt
Yup. Completely custom from Bill Hargate.
If the fact that it is custom made is that ONLY reason you can think why I would pick this up... I think you are being a bit short-sighted on this.

Bill Hargates stuff is amazing. Thats why it reminded me of Red Planet, also done by him.
Yes...the other reason you picked it up is your a scientologist! :cheers

Cool shirt, Art!
Though I've watched the film 5 times, I haven't looked closely at his undershirt in these scenes, but I will next time. The scenes I'm wondering about are the ones where he's at the cabin wearing the plaid shirt. If memory serves, isn't the plaid shirt unbuttoned, and if so, wouldn't this undershirt be evident then?
Also, I feel like there's at least one scene where he's wearing the jacket unzipped, but maybe not.
Art, do you think there is any chance that someone might replicate these shirts for the masses?
Thanks and again, great acquisition!

Was wonder if and where I could find this for sale
This is a piece from my personal collection. It is a custom made shirt.
Although I would consider selling, I have no plans to make copies or replicate it.

Hey Art,
I own a few things from this film, including a couple of these shirts. They are very cool... I was recently doing some screen grabs and to let you know you clearly see this shirt at the beginning of the film.

Haha, I just found out about it myself today, when I'm looking for screen reference for my pistol build. It is indeed a black hero shirt seen in the scene.
Here's my enhanced screencap.

Very nice! Too bad I JUST sold this to another happy collector! LOL

That's a shame you let it go (although I'm sure it was financially worth it) Oblivion is a stunningly beautiful movie. Every single shot looks like it came right off a concept sketch and I love the contrast between the clinical looking technology and hostile surface of the planet.
I didn't do too bad on it and I would have never let it go if I thought I could get more original pieces, but to me, this doesn't display well on its own and I needed some $$$ for pieces I will hopefully be showing off later today!
Art, what's your size?
