Alien / Nostromo Uniforms

[Larry Young]

OK, finally finished both sleeves and added the command wings. I'd just like to thank Mike and Jeff and Randy for making this little project pretty painless. Of course, a couple of my friends have seen it and want me to do one for them...

OK, a few posts up is a pic of my wife and my son Walker, who really liked helping out with my jacket project. He's only two-and-a-half, so "help" is a relative term, but he liked opening the various packages I'd get from Randy and Jeff and Mike and all, and he'd be there as I assembled and glued and dyed and ironed-on and all. And every time I put it on he says "Daddy! Jacket!" with what I take to be a small sense of pride of accomplishment.

So, when I saw a Baby Gap army jacket in the store, I found a use for the commercially-available but not-accurate patches I'd bought before I'd got Jeff's amazing work, and found another Christmas present for the lad. It's wrapped up, under the tree, right now, with a tag that says "To: Captain Walker From: Captain Dallas."

That looks great! I'm sure Capt. Walker will be very happy on Christmas day.
It might be a good idea to inspect your tree first to make sure there are no lurking face huggers.

That's SUPER, Larry!

Walker's gonna love it! Wish I could be up there to see you guys this Christmas.

 

[Funky]

I've got the rum ready, Jared!

Maybe a little O/T but I was really saddened by the recent death of Dan O'Bannon. I shall dedicate my jacket to him. Without his fantastic imagination, there would be no world of Alien.

I'll second that Bill,

Can anyone confirm if the D-rings on the shoes are white plastic, or just metal D-rings painted white?

I can't confirm anything 100%, but they look plastic to me. I did some measurements and they look like 3/8", too.

 

[Jonesythecat]

Those D rings seems plastic to me too and I was told that they are footwear accessories. They use them for boots lacing.

Thanks for the replys guys, I'm working on converting my PF flyers right now. I agree, they look plastic, I'm just having a hard time locating any

 

[TheMechanic]

I don't believe they would be plastic, I always assumed they were metal D's just painted white. I could be wrong though.

Oh, has anyone done up an Ash shirt yet? I've poked around but only saw the white ones. It would be interesting to see a light blue one.

 

[division 6]

Saw someone at a con a few years ago dressed as Ash.

Cool, my high school math teacher back in the day looked just like Ian Holm. I used to call him Ash but he didn't get it.

Indy Magnoli has blue ones available:

"Light blue with pink trim" is the first option available. I have the white one, and it's stellar. I wear it around, as it's so comfortable and well-made.
