When I ordered my very last Raiders shirt from Noel, I asked him to send me a few spare buttons. He included 15 buttons in the package. To me, those are gold because I am having difficulty locating buttons that match those.Cassidy wrote:...and the ROTLA ones were excellent.

I don't think the pockets were sewn shut in the film. They become unbuttoned and do move and flap in some scenes. It make no sense to do the extra work required to sew them shut.
As for button placement Noel made me a custom shirt and I had this fixed. I wear a size 16 and with the buttons placed 3" apart from the collar they matched perfectly to Raiders. They do affect the way the shirt is worn if you don't button the top 2. It reacts totally different.
The buttons were placed differently on the other 2 films which is where the inconsistencies of Noel's shirts came in to play.
As far as Noel's color it was accurate to LC and I believe TOD. I saw a shirt from LC at auction and that's the color. I think Raiders was just a bit lighter. Lighting changes everything. Look at indoor scenes, that will be a better source of color than Cairo.
Peter, for a 1st shot it looks awesome. Now it's just everyone's nitpicky details to deal with (myself included).

I too have a small stash of Raiders buttons, Pyro, and you're right, they are surprisingly impossible to match! In the US, anyway. But obviously Noel bought his somewhere; I doubt they manufactured their own buttons.Pyroxene wrote:When I ordered my very last Raiders shirt from Noel, I asked him to send me a few spare buttons.

I guess they're British-made, like just about everything else in the Indygear pantheon...

Epaulets
Sorry for interjecting here, me being a n00b and all, but after watching the Cairo roof scene I think I have found why there scenes to be a discrepency (sp.) between pointed and flat ends, the point seems to have rolled up slightly, and given the camera angle appears to be flat.
Hello,
First let me say I think it is great that Peter will be making the shirt and pants!
Second, can I ask if the shirts will be available in a custom size, as the shirt I got from MBA years ago went to my brother because the 2XLT was more like a regular Large size. I know the shirt has a slimmer cut than most modern american clothes, so I hope I can get one to fit!
Third, here are some shots of the shirt in the cairo scene. I got the epaullettes with the sun on them, so the detail is pretty good. I can see the three sided shape, with the stitching running straight (if that makes sense). The raw screengrabs are sharp, I hope the cropped and converted to jpeg pics I'm posting will help. They are from three sequential frames off the dvd.
Thanks,
John D

Has anyone purchased one yet? Any new modifications that Peter has made to these shirts to help make them more screen-accurate? Inquiring minds want to know, lol. I have been thinking about purchasing one!
Kind Regards,

We are also only going to be offering one type of shirt, the lighter weight one and not both, it was just the prototype that was made from the heavier fabric.
Cheers Peter

This may seem like a dumb question, but are the action pleats (I guess thats what they'd be called? ) fuctional, or are they just stiched on? I know it must have been discussed before, so please excuse the repeatitiveness (sp...heck is that even a word? lol) of any questions I may ask. And no one knows the exact changes that Peter made to the shirt yet? I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see. I too am curious on total cost of the shirt, as well as the pants, to the US.
