IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[Timemeddler]

It’s known as a “four-inch military-style hem”, and the front hem is actually slightly higher than the rear one, giving the bottom of the trousers a very slight downward slope from front to back:

And do we know how Creg is getting on with the Aldens? He hasn’t updated the thread since his first render shot.

Looks really good. For my suggestions, like others, I think it would be good if the shirt could fit a little better. The shoulders look too broad and the upper arms too loose, maybe. The shirt also looks to have magnets holding it closed in the front. They look pretty bumpy in the pictures. Is it possible to place them under the faux buttons to hide them more? Also, will buttons be placed on the shirt front pockets? For the pants, as others have mentioned, I feel they should be longer and slightly baggier. From behind, they also look tight on the hind quarters. The pants to me also look very light in color. They look much different from the proposed fabric.

That's my concern also. Whilst they are lovely pants if they aren't the right colour, even if they fit better, they will still look off.

What could be improved on - even over other versions - is making them a little looser around the crotch area. You can see how they pinch around that area like tighter, modern khakis. But these should have more material there and maybe the inseam lowered just a bit. You can see it in Mr. E's second and third photo. Not being a seamstress, I'm not sure how exactly to achieve this, I just know what I see.

And yes, the color looks more like TLC color. needs to be more brown.

Also a little hem detail (very tall) could be added...

Yes I agree with this. The pants are very tight on his butt when you look at them from behind, as seen when he clambers up to the opening of the cave and also onto the plane wing in Raiders, but from the front they are strangely baggy around the crotch area. I suspect his pants in the movies had a much bigger waist and the belt pulled in would be the reason for the baggy front area.

Saying all that I think the shirt and pants look great so far. The shirt colour is spot on in my opinion.

It’s because the proto has pleats.

Pretty sure Indy’s don’t have that, hence the bunching when belted.

Agree about the pants needing to be darker and looser. These look more like a modern pair of Dockers I'd get at JCPenny.

Here is an updated image on the pants length and shirt. I will let her know on the hem. Also i got a surprise.

Here is your bonus item guys. The belt and whip clasp.

So far, I like what I see. The tailoring work is terrific. The back pockets, the shirt details, all really nice. I think the bulkiness of the bagginess of the shirt tucked in is from the material "stripes" running down the shirt and thickening the material.

I do agree that the pants legs could be let out a bit. Also, I think the waist could be let out a hair as well, it looks a little tight.

I'm not certain if her lighting is throwing off the colors but the shirt is looking a bit too gray and the pants too walnut light brown. But we picked the material, so let's hope its the lighting here and not the lighting on the swatches we picked from.


Of course, what I was really looking forward to seeing was the jacket. Any chance that will be shown any time soon?

 

[davejames]

I do think the sleeves need to be taken in a bit, but otherwise the fit of the shirt looks perfectly fine to me. Since it did hang on him a bit. You wouldn't be able to create that effect if it was tightened up any more.

I'd like to know what body she's using, looks like the biceps are larger than the Solo body.

It's the lighting she took it with her phone she was asking if i was receiving it ok on my end. Jacket is being worked on as we speak she will send images soon.

Using the one i sent and the bicep aren't big she made the sleeves big goanna ask her about that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Good to know, thank you.

Also, the holster, belt and whip-keeper are really nicely made, beautiful and accurate work... except for the color of course -- but there's way too much work to make it look worn and colored correctly than what Iris can really do. It's certainly a nice bonus item for people to weather themselves.

Is the holster, belt and whip-keeper still the $30?

 

[Timemeddler]

The shirt looks fantastic! The pants need a little work, but they’re almost there. Nice work, Iris!

 

[Timemeddler]

And the leather work looks sensational too!

 

[Ecklectic]

I thought it was just a holster we would be getting. Does that $30 cover the belt as well? Looks great.

Yeah i believe it's apart of the set. I asked her if she can use a darker brown for the belt.
