Those are from 2 different shirts, one of them you can see them all the way down the front.
I can actually see the texture in that picture of Ash.

Fair enough division 6 - which pic has the buttons all down the front? Have you got a link please?
hi there everyone

Finally had the guts to put that excellent stencil to use:
Will see what it looks like once it's fully dried. Will probably weather and subdue the letters a little later on.

Thanks! Yes, I dyed my sage green MkIII several times, actually. Tried to achieve that screen-perceived color, which, to my eye, has a purpleish hue. Started with a navy blue dye, which barely changed the jacket color... did it again, and tried a purple dye after that... which gave the green a greyish-brown tone... which actually has some purple in it when photographed in indirect lighting...
Make any sense? Not to me either. I guess it was a bout of trial and... well, trial, actually.
If you are going to dye yours, you might as well skip the blue dye. The purple dye will probably not affect the jacket much - military garments have very durable colour - so there's little to no chance to ruin the jacket. Your mileage may wary, of course. The above worked for me, don't know how other jackets will react to dye!

You're very welcome. IMO, there are really two options for patches - forum members TheMechanic and Merliner made very nice and accurate Nostromo patches and wings. I believe they're all out though, so you might want to ask around if anyone might have spares to offer.
Back logo was made with Mike Rush's excellent vinyl stencil.
Also, if you haven't done so already - take some time to read through this thread. There's a lot of valuable info and input re: ALIEN uniforms in it, as well as great how-to tips and leads to where to get stuff. You might also want to check out the Nostromo thread over at Alien Legacy board

Good job on this shirt! One point though; the shirts close left side over right. As in the Kane pic, the 'male' snap is on the right and the female snap is on the left. :cool
1000 brownie points for picking that up Banzai88!
: )
I knew that from my sewing teacher - how did you know that?
That shirt was made for a female so we took liberty.
I never checked Ripley's shirt. It's male as well right?
BTW - have you ever tried on a shirt with female buttons? It feels completely unnatural for a bloke.

Howdy folks!
I just a pair of PF Flyers and was wondering if anyone had spare screw-on metal binding posts. I'll need 36 of them. Did anyone buy in bulk and now have leftovers they'd like to part with for a jingle of coin? Thanks in advance!
