Tombstone Val Kilmer / Doc Holliday Costume

[Cameron1138]

I just did some more searching on Taobao and managed to find several that are tantalizingly close, but still nothing quite perfect. This one’s a black and grey herringbone with purple stripes, but they’re a much lighter purple that’s closer to pink and the overall color looks probably a little too light:

This one’s got blue stripes but it’s a twill rather than a herringbone and definitely too light:

This one’s a darker herringbone with blue mixed in, but blue speckles rather than stripes:

And this one’s a rough herringbone with alternating blue and purple stripes (!!) (I believe that’s what the original fabric has) but the overall color again looks like it’ll be too light:

For comparison, here’s the fabric I currently have, a charcoal herringbone with faint bluish undertones:

Can you do a sunlight picture on that last one?

Can you do a sunlight picture on that last one?

I'll try to next time there's some good sunlight, the next couple days are supposed to be cloudy.

Here are a few, the first is in less direct sunlight and the others are in direct sunlight, one with some white fabric in the shot to help with white balance. The white-balanced photo is closest to how it looks in person.

OK, throw down with the full warehouse reorder information for this cloth. I am, for one, very happy with the comp shot.

Not sure if they have enough in stock to mass produce these, but here's the product listing. I purchased mine through Superbuy which is the easiest way to order from Taobao outside of China.
