Re: Mad Max: Fury Road Costumes Thread
So I was looking at the battle jacket trying to figure out how and what pouches are removed or altered. I started with the small mag pouch on the right shoulder and noticed how small and fitting is was to the mag. If you notice on the battle jacket they are only 2 small pouches on both sides of the chest. For the FR version the one on the right has some type of aluminum case inside one, kinda like a Altoids case. The small pouch on the left side seems to be removed to make room for the knife. That pouch would most likely be the one used for the small mag hold on the right shoulder. What looks like a Beretta mag. Only thing is I'm not sure if they did indeed use that same pouch or if they got it off another South African type rig. When you put a mag in that pouch it is clearly too tall and too wide.
Here's a test shot with a Glock 19 mag and the flap folded in out of the way.
When comparing pictures to the FR version it's clearly smaller and better fitting. I'm just not sure if they cut it up to shrink it down to fit the mag or if they used a pouch from something else all together.
Here are some observations I made though.
As you can see there is double stitching on the pouch too while every other pouch on the rest of the jacket only has single stitching. Not sure if that's to reinforce the seam if they did indeed just use the pouch already on the jacket, or if they used it from something else that already had the double stitching.
Here's how the pouch looks pinched tighter.
Also take note of the flap that is attached to the FR version. If they indeed just used the same pouch and just altered it to fit, why would a shorten flap be present? The flap is not attached to any of the pouches on these jackets but on rig itself, so it's a bit odd to carry it over.
One last small observation.
Anyway let me know what you guys think about all this.
