Firstly, please may I say for the record that this is in no way intended to represent a screen accurate portrait of the Marshall College classroom, it is simply an attempt to recreate the "look" but some effort has been made to acquire/construct a few pieces that may look familiar.
A number of items were chosen at random to provide a suitable backdrop for the main theme of this thread which is the tweed suit. A more thorough look at the desk props will be posted in props discussion shortly.
The location is the Royal Masonic Girls School, near London. In the same classroom the original scene was shot.
This 3 piece suit was made to order by Bookster http://www.tweed-jacket.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with full bespoke options. I've attempted to compliment the Indy suit as much as possible by requesting as many of the movie specs as was practicable, patch pockets, horn buttons etc.
The cloth is Donegal Tweed in brown fleck (Magee of Donegal).
I made the decision not to ask Bookster to try and recreate the half back belt and plait detail because to undertake this faithfully would not only be difficult to translate to the tailors online but there was always the chance they might get it wrong, not to mention the added expense. Therefore, I simply opted for the plain back/no vents and it looks great.
What, am I in trouble?
If anyone would like further detailed information about ordering from Bookster, I would be more than happy to discuss the details of my own completed order via PM.
A huge thanks to Kt templar for all his help (and the use of his Cypriot Cruciform Idol) and to Indy Magnoli for his ultra screen accurate Marshall Tie.
Hope you like the pics.
Cheers,
JTW.
This is just absolutely great. I will definitely PM you about that suit.
