Limited Run Ghostbusters Jumpsuit (7 versions!) by Magnoli Clothiers

[thundergod124]

YES! We hit a snag with materials but are back on track now. We're making some molds for the contoured shapes right now (teaser going up on our Instagram account shortly)...

I can't wait for your elbow pads. I have GBFans ones which have been modified to have the black patch, and those look ok and I also grabbed some off of ebay that were billed as "screen accurate". They were total poo... So I'm itching to get a really solid pair.

Not to resurrect an inactive thread, but I need to share this. First a little backstory: I have been cosplaying Ghostbusters since 2018 and started out with the standard TrueSpec suit. After watching this thread, I eventually decided to pull the trigger on a Magnoli suit. After purchasing and receiving, I ended up being very pleased with it.

In the mean time, I started dating a woman who supports my hobbies and my general craziness. Over the last year, I got her cosplaying with me and she ultimately inherited my old TrueSpec suit. However, the suit does NOT fit her at all. So, as a surprise, and to act as a "promise ring" to her, I ordered a Magnoli suit that had my last name on the name tape.

This is where the real story begins... I reached out to Magnoli Clothiers to see if they'd be able to make her a suit without the measurements coming off a garment. My first interaction was with Joachim, whom I had already interacted with on my previous purchases, and he was incredibly accomodating. I went ahead and sneakily got her measurements and shared them. There was a huge amount of email exchanges among myself, Joachim, and Carmel to ensure the suit was right.

The suit arrived well ahead of schedule. After having ordered it in late December, I wasn't expecting it until maybe the end of August or beginning of September. To my utter shock, it arrived in late April - early May. When I opened it, it looked perfect. It matched mine almost perfectly. The the real test would be the fit. We are currently in the process of moving in together and I wanted to give her the suit as a promise ring. When I gave her the suit (and Magnoli boots) she was shocked. Her first reaction was, "is this a Magnoli suit!?". When she tried it on, she was so pleased with the fit. It was totally perfect. Last weekend, we did an event for a family, and we got to rock our suits together for the first time.

Here are a couple shots of the suit. I just wanted to take this chance to share how excellent this experience was.

I received my GB1 style mid-May and love it! I've worn it to two outdoor events so far and it felt great. The first time I wore it, the heat index was over 100 degrees F with a noon sun. While the fabric is thicker, it's 100% cotton, so it doesn't feel hot. It breathes great, and I imagine it will help keep warmer as things cool down for fall/winter events. Added a picture, as the color is perfect in the natural light.

I do have a question for Indy Magnoli . I'm interested in the GB2 herringbone suit as well. From the screen grabs and the auction pictures of the screen used GB2 herringbone suits, the khaki looks a bit lighter than the suit on your site. I was watching Ghostbusternews.com's video review as well, where it looks darker than in the films as well.

I know the color is very dependent on the lighting, but I haven't seen any pictures that seem to capture that same lighter khaki from the film. Does anyone have any examples of a V2 suit they've purchased that show the suit in natural light?

Indy Magnoli - Is it possible to source a lighter khaki version of the fabric for a one-off purchase? How much of a price increase would something like that run? Adding a picture for comparison.

Thank you, that's definitely a lot closer. Thanks for sending that along!

On a side note, my paranormal boots arrived, and they are incredible. Thanks for taking the time to work so hard to get all of the little details matched up with the screen used boots.

Hey Indy,

I recently got one of your aged belts and I'm blown away with the quality! Any update on the elbow pads?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Shouldn't be much longer... will post as soon as we have some news.

I've taken my GB2 charcoal suit out for a couple of events in the last couple of weeks. Great product from Magnoli. Lots of compliments.

Made exactly to the measurements I provided, as I went back to double check. I also made a special request to use the GB1 patch on the arm, which was accommodated.

The duck cotton fabric is pretty heavy, so if you plan on wearing this suit a lot in warm weather, keep that in mind. It was great at an event this week, as the weather was around 50 degrees F. It kept me perfectly comfortable.

Charcoal color looks great as well!

Thanks again Indy Magnoli !

Looks fantastic! I ordered a GB2 charcoal suit this past spring, after loving my GB1 ripstop suit so much... can't wait for it to be ready!

My V3 gray suit finally got here this week, and just like with the V1 suit, it's magnificent! The fit is exactly what I wanted, and I love the heavier canvas of the suit. Got my patches sewn on today... Can't wait for the next con to wear it to!

Indy Magnoli Any chance you'll be adding a black version of the flight suit with the equipment division shoulder patch?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Absolutely... it'll be on our site in a week. Feel free to pre-order if you like... just e-mail us to set it up.

So I'm about to send in measurements for a V1 suit. I am worried about custom suits, vs off the shelf. Do they 'size' these up for bagginess? I know GB2 the suits were way more baggy on the guys. But I'm worried about the sizing. I basically know what off the shelf size I am/like, but I'd appreciate any advice, especially for the price and wait time.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Best to provide off-the-garment measurements that way you can get it the bagginess you're after. Once you place the order we'll discuss measurements further with you via e-mail.

 

[Fett202]

Any word on if we'll get an update on the pads before march?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Should have some news on the pads soon...
