Ok, so i am going bananas with the stripe sizing. I initially spaced the stripes a 1" by .4" with 1" by .2" gaps. That gives me about 36-38 stripes per arm, which is nowhere near enough. Diego Luna is about my height, so unless his arms are abnormally longer than mine (which i doubt as I have given gorillas a run for the money), I need to adjust my design. One thing I noticed is that the puff additive grew the stripes to about .5", so Ideinitely decided to shrink them to .3". I am going to try two news screens, the first at 1" by .3" with .2" gaps which should get me about 42 - 46 stripes and one at 1" by .3" with .1" gaps which could give me 52-57 stripes.
I'll post up the results, when i finish

I had the same problem. When I spaced to have 50 stripes they looked too small, but counting them up on his jacket there should be more than the 37 visible that I got with 1cm x 3cm with a 2mm gap.

My screens have been giving me exposure problems. I'll try again tonight. Hopefully we'll have some visuals to compare this weekend. I'm gonna put it to a vote as to which ones look the best.

Here are my updates to the great stripes screening project. I was finally able to the exposure correct on the my screens and re-print them in the new dimensions. The 1" by .3" with .1" gaps stripes were definitely off. They were ultimately too crowded and not even worth viewing. The stripes with 1" by .3" with .2" gaps. looked correct and if i leave my sleeves just a tad long, I'll end up with about 51 stripes. I did a color comparison with a blend of 6:3:1 and 6:3:2 yellow, white and brown. Once again i added 15% by weight puff additive.
I believe that the set on the right are more true to the color, so I went with those.
I'll update with pictures of the completed jacket shortly.

That new mix does look better.

Here is V2.0 of the jacket. Much happier with this one. although it is largely the same as the first one. I feel that the stripes here are much more accurate. I also flipped the zipper, got more accurate buckles, and used a lighter thread for the contrast stitching. Now to work on the vest.

Great work! I don't suppose you take commissions?

Would you be willing to sell a pair of the other buckles on those boots? Not exact, but close enough?

Can I ask what you used as a pattern, or if you free-handed that? Every time I look at it, I think life jacket. Surprisingly, it seems people don't make patterns for life jackets.

I used an old outdoorsy vest pattern that I had in my arsenal.https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct...l3_azrMpzZArpTvJBYRcWpHQ&ust=1487787820536120
Since neither look was quite right I combined both styles. (neckline and collar of Look A, with the body of Look B) I self-lined it and left the sides disconnected. It is held together by the webbing and buckles. I filled it with .5" foam to get the look of a flak Jacket. I did the pockets myself.

I'm doing the parka right now from an old 70's Tenson jacket with almost the exact same blue color as the one Diego Luna wears.
Just finished our Andor Pants:
Kind regards,
