Patch arrived, but the seller didn't listen to my measurement requirements and sent me one that is way too big. I went with a different seller that can actually get me what I need.
Had to get someone from the states to make the patch as the last one from Europe was lost in the mail. It arrived today. Originally had the idea of using a cuttable sheet magnet to attach to the back but i dont think that will work with how thick the denim is. So im going to change it to something else. Maybe rare earth magnets.
Another find where I don't have anywhere else to really put it. Found this jacket from a South Korean website. A rare color variant. Had to use a website that specializes in purchasing items that can't be sent overseas to have it shipped to them then they can ship it anywhere in the world. I'm not using it for any kind of project. Keeping it as is.

Small update on the project. An expert has reviewed my notes, materials, and reference vest. I was requested to clarify some details for the patterns to be made properly. I emailed all of my answers back to their questions. I hope to have something to show soon.
Realized I had missed a detail. The snaps on the cuffs are offset and not centered. I hypothesize Guess did this intentionally so when you roll the sleeves up twice the snap is closer to the edge of the cuff to make it easier to snap closed. I passed this information onto Indy to have this be done on the project.
Doing some tests with a fabric marker to make the leftover dye triangle the movie prop has. First one I outlined the triangle and lightly colored the inside in. Didn't do it super heavy. I then smudged it around so it didn't look too concentrated. Second test I used some masking tape to make the triangle then added in the marker. Indy Magnoli suggested this method and I believe it does look more natural as he described. The tips on the real patch aren't as sharp and are actually more rounded. I'll see what I can do to replicate that once I receive the jacket.
