Going up on SSF someone get it there and post it back here.

Here it is....

Thanks for the help.

 

[Ecklectic]

That will do me. The length looks spot on.

 

[IndianaPaul]

No problem. The jacket looks pretty good, maybe it should be a little less broad in the shoulders; it kind of puffs out a lot. I'd also suggest going without the zipper since the teeth and it are pretty big. For the pants, they might need to taper at the bottom some; they kind of bag up.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wor you will be very happy and the pants are perfect.

Well... I am very happy about the length. Finally, NOT a bomber jacket. That's huge for me. I hope that's not the final zipper though because that silver is really distracting.

My only concerns are:

1) the way the collar is connected to the jacket itself -- looks a bit like a shirt collar rather than a jacket collar. But I need to check my ref, I could be wrong.

2) the material doesn't look as soft as I imagined based on the way it wrinkles (or doesn't). Perhaps it just needs to be worn in and "crushed" a bit. Can Iris confirm this? Maybe crinkle up one sleeve a bit to show how it creases?

It's still wip so yeah i can tell her to futz with it a bit.

Also, be great to see the back of the jacket with those ties too.

It's hard to explain the "shirt collar" effect going on, but there seems to be a lot of material used just above the zipper before the flip of the "collar" -- do you see what I mean? It's what you see in a regular shirt collar. I don't see it on the real Raiders jacket or on the other 1/6th jackets or if it there its very, very small. I don't really know tailoring so not sure what purpose that 'inner band' serves or why it seems to have so much material sewn together.

I realize that WIP shots are not always the most flattering so I'm keeping that in mind. More pics is always a good thing. Of course we need more opinions.

Looking pretty good. I would have to agree and echo with what the others have said about the jacket. The zipper is a no go for me and something does seem to be up with the collar. Seems like the stills the collar lays flat to the shoulders.

Shirt looks wonderful.

I'd also love to see some pics without the Jacket if its not too much trouble.

 

[mstradford]

Looks great. Will it be weathered or broken in?

 

[Mr.E]

I like what I see overall and look forward to seeing improvements. I get the feeling the outfit as a whole needs to be properly futzed in order to sit right. The collar as it is now resembles how the collar sits on a brand new (unbroken in) Wested replica. LOVE the colors though with everything together.

I think the zipper is okay. It's brightness could easily be dampened down with a black acyrilic wash, possibly around the edges.

Glad to hear feedback and i will pass it on to Iris, for the zipper i want to ask if you guys want it to function or not i know it's not necessary but i like the idea that we have it as an option. Also zipper might be sown upside down hence the weird top part and the color is close to what the jacket had on screen. Collar can be fixed, also the shoulders can also be fixed a bit. This also could be the issue with it not being futz properly

I think the zipper is fine as far as size and stuff but damn, needs to be darker. Haha loving it all, and based on how much the pants and shirt have improved since their first pics, makes me confident the jacket will look great too.

I believe the zipper can be changed or at least fixed to not look so off at the top. And plus i believe weathered by a skilled artist it can look even better. The pants look good but i need to be sure that Iris got the TOD pants i sent and used them for reference.

 

[Timemeddler]

Yes, I agree that the shoulders need to be brought in a little bit, as they seem to stick out beyond the body on the first prototype.

I also concur with others about the jacket collar - I think it just needs to sit a little lower and flatter on the neck/shoulders.

I’m not a fan of the zip myself and will never be zipping mine up, but I guess a black wash would dull it right down and make it more-or-less un-noticeable from normal viewing distances.

 

[Ecklectic]

The material looks just the same as on my custom Wested jacket. If that outfit was shipped off to me now I would be more than happy with it although the right zipper does look like it is on upside down. Being able to zip it up would be a great extra option but it wouldn't bother me if it didn't.

The zipper is a no go for me

and there it is....That's all I was trying to say in my earlier posts. For me, the first thing that hits my eye is that zip! It could be because of the colour, it could be because of the size. For me, it doesn't look like the item I was hoping for, it looks a lot like the Medicom jacket, but that can be easily rectified by changing/painting or even removing the zipper. I wouldn't care if it did up either.

The length is better, but the Yunsil still has the much better zipper imho, if she could find one like that that would be great if possible.
