I've been collecting materials and working on my Danni costume since May 19, and I decided to make a costume for Capt. Oram too, since Oram and Danni share the same gloves and share similar utility belts, gaitors, packs, and hat. I noticed Columbia clothing had two anoraks this season for women that looked a little like Danni's and Oram's anoraks, so I bought and modified them with patches and paint, and dyed the anorak for Danni a darker grey.

I have yet to paint the gold circuitry onto Danni's anoraks. I made a quilted belly piece to sit under the Columbia anorak's front pocket to mimic the under-coat Danni wears under her grey smock. This piece can be removed so I can still wear this anorak to town and not look completely odd (only the usual amount). Halfway into modifying my Columbia anorak for Danni's costume, I saw that eBay user Cosyahoo in China was making and selling a more screen-accurate version of Danni's "chemical suit", as they called it. I really like the design and don't have the time or expertise to draft my own patterns, so I ordered this too. I'm going to improve upon it by painting the gold circuitry onto the right breast side and sewing on a smaller, better quality patch on the left arm. I suppose now I have an "everyday" and convention version of Danni's top to wear. Also I'm a little obsessed, but I'm preaching to the choir, eh?

I want to thank @
Banzai88 for the chest patch on Oram's anorak and HobbyBuzzard for the sleeve design of Oram's anorak. Actually I want to thank everyone here for all the effort and insight they have put into this thread and helping each other get accurate or just cool designs for our Alien Covenant costumes and props. You have all helped save me so much time, effort, and inaccuracy as I work on these costumes. I love seeing your work too, and I really appreciate the effort put into making patches @
Banzai88), labels (@TheMechanic) and radio props (@thadbo13). Most of all I'm happy to have found other people as interested in this movie's costume and prop design as me. It's a pretty niche group...but dang, it's dedicated.
