Purchase link for Mr. Digital's Flashback Flynn Jacket

i made this account just for this thread! so awesome And that Jacket is a must have .......Master Digital how tall ru? how much do you weight? I wanna get this jacket but I also want it to be the right size

Programs,

After seeing the amount of interest in the custom Flashback Flynn jacket I was able to convince the maker to add it to one of thier websites. You can find it at the following link. I don't know how long it will be available for, so get one now if you are interested. Just remeber, as it is a custom made item, there are no returns.

Black Perforated Jacket

Unfortunatlety it was a bit more work to produce than they initialy thought, so the are selling it at $180. Still, its much cheaper than the Alpine Stars NYC jacket and it can be made in any size. Just provide them your measurements. Good luck! Let me know if you need anything else.

Sorry if I missed this MisterDigital, but does the jacket have the flap behind the zipper where the EL tape can be applied?
 
Yes, it does. Its a heavy fabric about 1" wide. There also flaps on the wrists to keep the style the same.

Cant wait to see pics,
My only issue is where the non-perf leather attaches to the shoulders it looks a little flat where on the real jacket it looks like its an extra layer added on top of the shoulder, giving it more depth.

Is it flat that or just look like that from the pic on the site?
Aside form that it look pretty good and a whole lot cheaper than the NYC. Cant wait to order mine.

Thanks for all your work, can't wait to see pics of it in person.

Yes, and no. The NYC jacket is a very thick motorcycle jacket intended to protect a rider in a crash. As such, its is much much thicker overall. It probobly does have an additional layer of something underneath the smooth nappa to help protect, making it look like a more dramatic difference.

The Flashback Flynn is definitly thinner than a protective motorcycle leather, and its only made from two layers, one of which is smooth nappa and the other perforated. I guess you could say that its more fashion than function in that regard. Its geared toword summer wear anyway, hence the perforations.

To directly answer the question though, in person you can definitley tell the the smooth nappa leather is the top layer, and the way its sewn and stiched makes it look even more prominent, but the difference between the two layers is a a bit less dramatic than the NYC. It doesn't detract from the look at all though.

Does that explain it?

Thanks for the link. Not able to purchase now (especially at the increased price), but will keep it in mind for later.
 
Soul your work continues to amaze me.

I got to wear my Tron costume to a on campus "80's" party. I love being the center of attention, its so much FUN. Though the party has made me realize that I really do want to get my suit illuminated. So I guess that is the next big step.
 
Very sorry, really tired and making this post the night before Anaheim comic con. I said I would post a detail how to, but later. Here is what was done plus some tips, details will follow when I more awake.

Started out with a picture. (I told my friend to find a fleece jacket because stitching can be easily removed with out permanent damage)

Took it into illustrator to sort play with the ideas.

This is the tape by the way! It can be found at any "harbor Freight" store.

Using autocad, I print a 1:1 scale print out of my patterns. I offer this as a service as well, where I can design any pattern to an any size or shape within 8.5X11 that can be sent to you as a pdf and printed out to perfect scale as long you don't adjust scaling in the printing.

Pain staking process of separating red and white. And cutting out the patterns.

Had to do a special fitting for the chest because well guys have flats chest and some girls don't.

What do you guys think?
 
Awesome stuff shogun! I don't think it needs EL Tape...that's my opinion. Reflective tape can achieve the same effect, lay flatter in some areas, and still look really good!

What do you guys think?

just one question for you, seeing as how the finished jacket has yellow reflective tape did you just paint over the white or highlight it or something? i need to know so i can do my military style jacket.

I can't say for certain, but I bet he just used yellow. Notice how he bought the Red/White tape and separated it to use just the white. The other common reflective color for that kind of striped tape is Yellow/Black. You see it on semi trucks all the time.
 
Buying Red/White and cutting it up is very much harder than working with White to begin with, just saying. :) White is out there, you just have to dig a bit harder to find it.
