Tombstone Val Kilmer / Doc Holliday Costume

[greenmachines]

I might try again tomorrow but I think I've reached the limits of my graphic design skills lol, I just don't have an eye for this. What I've done so far is very clearly pasted together on a computer using images of flowers drawn by different people in different art styles rather than looking like a cohesive Victorian-era print. I think the image I found earlier will look more authentic for the period even though it's not as accurate (but of course anyone with more of an eye for this kind of thing is free to try too).

You and I run in the same lane on that. I call it "good at ten feet" but I also know you ripped seams just to put them back as two row instead of one.... threads dude, threads....

However, this is JohnHolliday 's thread and that causes the spread of perfection OCD by association.

I am in the middle of remaking most of the RDJ Sherlock Holmes stuff I completed at the beginning of the year after finding or going to great lengths to source better fabrics so you're not wrong lol. For the red vest I'm definitely waiting for JohnHolliday's fabric since we know exactly what that one's supposed to look like, but I'll admit my standards for exact accuracy for the silver vest are a little lower given that we don't even have any images good enough to get a clear view of the pattern in the first place, so I'm a little more willing to settle for close enough if I have to. I have a ton of other things I can work on first though so I'll wait and see if anyone better at this sort of thing wants to take it on.

While I wait on the correct items to get made (we are still backed up on orders from over the summer) I have just been playing in the studio with stuff that Val/Doc might have worn. It’s fun putting this stuff together but I would much rather have the correct items.

Also came up with this outfit while I wait

My new Doc in town boots. I really wanted the old west square toe boots to match Val's in town boots and now and I have a pair

I very much approve.

Thank You greenmachines I can't wait to show everyone our Tombstone collection as it is going to blow people's minds But first we have to finish some orders on the books and get a couple more projects (John Wayne items) finished. I really wish we had more than just one person making everything and more time in the day

While waiting on things to get caught up I decided to get a set of Custom Spurs made to match the spurs John Wayne wore in most of his movies. After getting the spurs made, I finally found a pair of Duke's boots like he wore in Hondo, The Searchers and Rio Bravo (Last two photos are of the boots in spurs as seen in Rio Bravo). Yes, my wardrobe collection just keeps growing and growing, and before anybody says anything, my leather guy is making me the correct spur straps

I appreciate you expected we would notice.

Which makes you wonder which of us is pictured here, pointing out an inconsistency during shooting.

Those boots/spurs are just so cool

Ya, I admit my reaction was not about canon and more about that I would wear these boots.
