Hi everybody!
I want to make a Nostromo crew costume but I can't seem to find any good leads for a similar white crew shirt (unless I'm just looking in the wrong places). Does anyone have any leads where I can find something close to it?
Also, can somebody advise how to do the pink piping along the pockets?
Any input would be much appreciated!

Indy Magnoli makes a great bespoke one, you can see it here:

General consensus in the community is that the original was production made, and not something modified from a found item, but if you want to DIY it, looking for vintage EMS/Paramedic uniforms might be an avenue to explore.

If you haven't already you might want to look through the 58 page thread on the outfits.

There is also the Alien Legacy forum ( I haven't been there in many years )
There is also a Alien section on the Prop Summit site.

I got luck on eBay, found something pretty close as a base. I'm still working on mine. Try searching for snap closure button down shirts, than narrow the search to "white" and "short sleeved."

Let us know what you find.

IIRC most folks modified Dickies shirts and pants to make the outfit. (you want cream)

Pink piping "Maxi Piping Wrights PC 03 Lt Pink,
Screen used shirts have it sewn on back nothing fancy.
