Mine was (I think) £90, the guy didn't know what it was and it was old stock with the wrong instructions. The service was about half that again, not exactly money well-spent!

If I may be honest I don't like any of them.
Dallas jacket has pockets where they shouln't be. The flightsuit main problem is that the collar should have pointy tips and not a round shape like in modern flight suits.
I hope that my critics are accepted with no offence and that they may help you to make a more accurate product.

ndatmo did state that they were an "approximation" of the costumes and I think they're a very good attempt.

I'm guessing that Italian is your first language Jonesythecat. Really a comment like "If I may be honest I don't like any of them" has a high chance of being interpreted as an insult, no matter how much you don't intend it to be. Offering constructive criticism is of course fine but we all have to be aware not only of what we write but how others might interpret it.

Yes Italian is my first language and I did not intend to offend. My criticism is constructive because I pointed out what was wrong in them, I didn't just say that I didn't like them for the sake of saying it. Can you see my point?
Anyway I must add that I missed the "approximation" part... so, apologies. I'm quite an accuracy-nutcases when it comes to costumes, if you need any help to improve the product, ndatmo, feel free to contact me.


PS I still don't understand how it could be interpreted differently but, as I said, English is not my first language.

No problem Jonesey.

I suppose in situations like this it's a good idea to be diplomatic in terms of opinions; particularly where one of our own has put time, money and effort into making something they're proud of. It'd be different if the discussion was about a new design of car or something, that's way more distant in terms of being related to the AL board.

It's kind of like saying to a friend "No offence, but your wife is ugly".

Hope that makes sense.

just looked through your jackets etc, excellent work, they have a used look to them and really capture the gritty look of the film! excellent effort and superb results! well done!

I believe I think I saw pictures of that costume on the RPF, I liked the costume even if ironed-looking lol. Lucky ones those few who have an original flightsuit from that period.



I see your point now
Sorry again ndatmo

If these are the ones on Ebay, I am definitely getting one.. these are awesome. Sure the pockets are a bit off, but they are not a MK3. They really capture the look!

Here is how Danita's (ALIEN) version of Ripley turned out. Thanks to Montana (Jeff) the patches rock and we work together and got the G-4B suit.
She pulled it off nicely I think.

I noticed that no one replied here. I also wondered if Ripley costume in Aliens was custom made or it was military issue, considering the pockets placement it might be proper flying suit, does anyone have knowlegde here?

I’ve seen one of the Ripley jumpsuits in person and I own one that Lance Henriksen wore as Bishop. They both look custom made to me.
