lost boys MARKO jacket replica!

[etmatthe]

Apparently this person has multiple ones of the flying wheel.

Hi! I have never used this website before but I’ve been researching Markos jacket so I can start trying to make a (at least mostly) accurate version, and this forum has been very helpful. I was wondering if anyone has clear photos of the patches and tapestries so I know what to look for a little better. I’ve found good ones of the ladies, but not the others. I think I saw a few links for the smaller patches as well.
Thanks so much!

So I thought I might post a list here of all of the patches. Pennywise's list of tapestries, preferred vendors, and reproduction patches on page 41 was tremendously helpful so I thought maybe having a post aimed specifically at all the vintage patches would be a fun and quick way for people to...

Heres a great place to start.

Thanks! Sorry for one more question, but with the leopard tapestry i’ve found one facing the wrong way with the blue sky, and one facing the right way with a red sky. Which aspect do you think is more important to the look of the jacket?

You can use the wrong way leopard if you're not hung up on being 100% accurate, here's a picture of someone else's. The red leopard on ebay is too big, note the dimensions. Also, to me color is important to achieve the correct look. I personally think using the incorrect red peacock tapestry would look better then the incorrect blue if you can't find the correct one.

I have a red peacock and some cheetahs, but the cheetahs are the wrong colour but the correct orientation - for sale if you PM

Pennywise would you mind dm'ing me that Warbird template? When I was adjusting the the size the upper left part of the wing is cutoff slightly in this photo. Thanks.

You mean this? You know its on page 41 right?

I found an original Live to Ride, Ride to Live the other day. When it popped up I thought it was a copy that others are selling until I looked closely and read the description and that it was pulled from a denim jacket. I've seen lots of other versions like red and orange but never this one, only once on a jacket but it looked double the size. Also from the pattern of the wings you can see some look more spread apart than others. I've seen a patch collectors version that has an original LTR/RTY, viking and back-off patch and the LTR/RTL is more spread and the design much better with more teeth and detailing on the skull but it is the bigger version, and Markos is a smaller version scaled down which is why some detail is lost. I also have found an extremely close replica. It was said to be a replica of the 70's version but its from Japan. I'll do an A-B when the original arrives.

Awesome! I bought an original once, thinking it was the right one, but it was too large.

That's awesome! Sweetlysynd makes a great reproduction, but you can't beat having an original.

Not 100% correct color pattern, but facing the correct direction. They're asking $40. Ebay, not mine.

Vibrant color.

I had SweetlySynde make me a 13 patch, and it's gorgeous! I'm completely in love with it. I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to punch a hole in it. LOL

I did some recent upgrades and will have 4 extra patches and I will give the old ones to a good home for free. The wing wheel, #13, orange ribbon, and 1903. "Personal message" me if you want them. Unfortunately since I'm giving them away for free and also paying shipping, that's only in the US sorry. Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah everyone.

Trick or Trick Studios has released their Lost Boys "Michael" mask and I have to say the David mask is much better. I think they missed the mark with this one. It's looks too "cartoon like", and more like David Hasselhoff.
