Tron (1982) Kevin Flynn Red/Gray Jacket.

can i like
buy a copy of this pattern from you

Hey man, sorry I never got back to you on this.
The paper pattern I drew up was not perfect, and I honestly made so many adjustments as I went along, that it wouldn't yield results anything like what I ended up with anyway.

I'd recommend getting a cheap jacket that fits you, and using that as a base to draw up a more accurate pattern. Or even start with an off the shelf jacket pattern and adjust for the seams.

Awesome looking jacket, nickytea! My boyfriend and I were watching TRON last night and bouncing around some costume ideas. I know you've said that there's no one specific pattern for the jacket, that you did a lot of modifications...but did you start with a specific pattern? Or did you manage this all with draping? And did you wear this to see the new movie?!

Brad, those looks VERY close!
I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

Doubtful I can find a pair before SDCC, but these would be great to have for future Tron events.

Regarding Flynn's shoes: Did anyone else notice that when he's in the arcade he's wearing Nike's...then he's got the Adidas on when he gets digitized? What the heck...did he hafta put on his hackin' shoes? :lol

I don't have any screengrabs handy, and I'm not a vintage shoe expert...

...can anybody specifically ID the NIKE shoes Flynn wears when he, Alan and Lora are upstairs in the arcade loft? I'd love to get a pair of those for a Flynn 'costume' I'm working on.

TRON's on The Movie Channel XTRA (in HD) late tonight (actually 3/3/11) at 2:05AM EST - not sure if the transfer will be as good HDNet's, but maybe I can tell more about the shoe from this showing.

Thanks,

I went through that scene frame by frame and I'm almost positive they're Nike Yankees: Nike Yankee 1981 / Running / Vintage Nike - Arkamix : Nike, jordan ,nike retro, nike air force one, vintage nike, running nike, collector nike They look like the black version to me, but it's kind of hard to tell. Interestingly enough, he only has on the Adidas shoes when he's hit by the laser. He has on the Nikes when he's walking through Encom.

Icey, THANKS for the NIKE info/website and all the screencaps! (I recorded TRON early this AM, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet to see if it's the same transfer as HDNet shows.)

I think you've ID'd the correct shoe, but in looking around for them on the web quickly, I didn't see any available in my size or even close. Kinda wanted the NIKEs since they're worn more by Flynn, but being able to get the Nizzas will be my fall-back plan.

Thanks you again!!

haha I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I was watching the movie last night XD

Infact, I think Flynn's whole real-world look bears a striking resemblance to Marty McFly. (well, mostly just the hair and outfit)
