The shirt could use some tighten up for sure, as for the Jacket, I think fixing the pointy shoulders might correct the problem IMO.
BTW, I was looking through the reference pics and I saw that Rocky's fedora hat has a turquoise colored feather, am I right ?, any more pics of it ? I can't find any reference.
I did find something similar :
Might use that image for reference and paint the feather accordingly.
Should I add the feather ? I didn't know it had a feather.

I was gonna PM you that to ask if you already knew but I figured that you did. He does have a light blue feather; I think there may be a second feather of a different color there too.
I don't have any reference shots handy but I'm sure we can dig some up
Any close up pics or clearer pics ? I might just use the hat I found as reference for the feather and paint it accordingly. I think there are a few more but they are black, like the pic I found.

I might have a few ref pics somewhere I’ll dig them out unless someone else beats me to it
As far as I'm aware the issue with the shoulders has been passed on to te tailor and will be sorted for final product. I agree the shirt could also do with being tightened up a touch also tho.

Blue feather is a must it's there throughout the whole movie
Its quite a large feather more broad than long almost fanned out.
Any clearer image ? The feather might be fanned out because of the wind or something.
That one and the other you posted earlier are the only 2 I have with a shot of the feather leave it with me will scroll through see what I can dig up
You can tell by the ridges that the feather in both pics are pretty much the same size in breadth however you could be right about potentially the wind having an effect in the second pic as the placement is slightly different
Yeah, those are the only 2 pics I have showing the feather, haha. I also want to know what's the white spot next to the feather, it shows in both pics.
Since it's just a turquoise colored feather I was thinking on using the one I found as reference, I mean its just a feather and its look is quite random, the color IS important IMO.

I wish I had more time to help out and dig for clearer screenshots today. If no one comes up with anything today I can dedicate more time tomorrow.
sparkstron put these up and you can see the feather is present even in the shots that aren't straight on. The last one is our best money shot so far.
Even if this isn't the actual screen used prop (I'm not saying that it's not but there are a lot of fakes and imitations in the screen used game. There are only a couple of really reputable sellers) it does have an accurate band. On Rocky’s hat he had this loop that the feather went thru as opposed to the more common bow found on pork pies/fedoras.
Beat me to it
But heres a few more pics
I added one there of the fingerless gloves and specs would be a cool extra.

I got an idea of it, gonna work on it and show WIPs.
Thanks for the input guys

I'm glad that the pointy shoulders are getting addressed but I'm also concerned with the details of the shoulder "flap". As is I think that she doesn't have the angle of the design right and I believe it's more of a flap than just a stitching design. To me it's the most unique part of the jacket and what sets it apart; I'd hate to see her overlook an important detail.
You can see what I mean in a lot of these pics
Ok time to bring the noise :naughty:naughty

sparkton's jacket has the right idea
I would be interested in a better head sculpt and jacket for mine.
This is an icon I want to have as pefect as possible.
It actually looks like more of a flap than a stitching. I hope Teddy logs on soon and see this so he tells the seamstress to change it a bit.

Here's a better shot of the feather and maybe brass stud?
"sparkton's jacket has the right idea"
Yeah the shoulders on mine are nice, shame the arms are too long and the jacket is a bit short.:slap

"Prior to the start of production on this last Rocky film, Stallone, a long time friend and client of Baron Hats sent Master Hatter, Mark Mejia, the original tattered Dark Navy Blue stingy brim fedora that he'd worn in the 5 previous Rocky movies.
With this as his starting point, he asked Mark to create a new version of the hat in the same memorable style but with a look and feel befitting his character's lifestyle as the retired champ.
After a number of prototypes were created (everyone knows Mr. Stallone is very exacting), the two men decided upon a herringbone weave from a mill in Cheshire, England... and the new hat was born."
