Except for the hat, how's it look?

Cool costume. We are making something similar for the Von Beck character in our fan film. All you need is a Nazi arm band. Are there any tutorials on how to make them?

Luke

Lukmas, the thing you might not know about Matt is that is his everyday wear.

Matt, lookin' good, as always.

Opps, sorry, i thought he was making a costume!

Regards
Luke

I think he is by looking at his title but for him he probably already had this suit in his closet and it's probably real vintage. I could be wrong of course, but Matt's lifestyle is vintage.

Matt,

Great suit and excellent hat. Personally, I am not crazy about how that hat band looks in the photo (It looks "orange-y" for lack of a better word). I realize it may look much better in person.

The suit is great. I was tryinig to discern what it is. It looks too dark for your J. Peterman linen suit. I was thinking it might be poplin? It definitely captures the look you are going for.

It is a J. Peterman Linen Cotton blend suit, still a bit tight.

The ribbon on the fedora is orange. I love this fedora, its a vintage hat so no tapering.

Matt,
That is a great looking hat, especially the sweep of the brim. It's very rakish.
I see what you mean about it being a bit tight where it buttons, but it actually looks good that way. It makes it look lived in. I have moved the button on suits (well, actually my tailor has) and sometimes that buys enough room to put off a total tailoring of the jacket.

I didn't realize the Peterman was that light in color. The catalogue made it look darker. It is a great suit and you wear it well
Enjoy it.
One last question, on that vintage hat, is that the original ribbon?
Thanks,
-HJ

Matt, it all looks good including the hat. The hat band color was mentioned and you really pull it off well.
A+ !

Very Great Suit you got there, Mattdeckard.

Thanks for the comments, guys and gal... now I need to get a monkey.

Looks great, man. Looks like all you need is the Clipper hat and take those pants up several inches so you'll have some floods and you're all set.





Just kiddin' about the floods, although that's how the pants were in the film.
I'd love to see your closet, Matt.

Yes the ribbon color is original.

NICE! Just need the cross strap shoulder holster from what I remember to finish the look

Okay, a shoulder holster a gun a grey hat and a monkey to finish the outfit.

Mattdeckard wrote:Except for the hat, how's it look?

The hat perfectly matches with the suit my friend

...and the floods. If you wanna be screen accurate. Hut as already pointed out, it looks good as is.

Looks good to me!

Nice suit and hat!

Agent 5,

As soon as I saw the pic, I looked down towards his shoes and said, "I think he needs some high waters".

Dan,

NEAT duds, my friend! I like that hat, too. I'd say if you popped one of Steve's grey Indy's on your head, you'd be good to go as a Cairo henchman. With the hat you have in the picture, I'd say you have more of a Bogart look going on. How old is the hat/suit, and what brand of hat?

Regards,

I think its his J. Peterman suit.

For info on the suit check out this thread http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=3780

The hat is a vintage Emerson that I have had for a few years. It's been cleaned and given a new leather sweatband by Optimo in Chicago. The orange ribbon and the binding on the edge are original. The hat I believe is early 1940's.

Emerson is my middle name. My full name is Charles Emerson Winchester III.

My full name is Ricardo Luigi Pierre M’Benga Chang Nehru O’Hara Casaba the Third. But you can call me VP.

Matt, are you wearing a belt or suspenders with the suit?

VP, you've exceeded your word allowance for the next two weeks!

That doesn't count, I copy pasted it from Escape From Monkey Island.

Belt, though the pants are a bit tight. I've been dropping pounds so it'll look better after a few months.

We usually don' refer to anything here as a 'costume'.

Looking realy good there Matt, looking REALLY spiffy!

There are some really cool plastic bullwhips over at IndyCostume.com though... and they sell the best Dorfmans around!

Nice suit Matt. Not only is it Indy time period accurate, you look like a bluesman from the 30's lol. Very nice attire my friend.

Geoff

Geoff,
Are you going to go make me change my avatar that I've had here for years now? We've been posting in the same threads way too much and when I see your avatar, well, my avatar being used by another member, it's like two guys showing up for work and wearing the exact same suit/tie/shoes or something.

Rabittooth should take that avatar out from the list and make it an agent5 only.

Maybe it's time I moved up in the world and got a custom avatar, whaddaya think?

Maybe it's also time to turn in my pager for a cell phone too?

nah,

youve always had that one.

Id still trade out the pager though.

Adam

How do you like my new avatar, Agent5?

Agent5, maybe we should keep the same avatar's just to confuse people

I feel a little like Charlie Brown right now.


UGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Matt, looks great. Along with the holster and the monkey you need a few Egyptian ne'er do wells to finish off the look.

Cheers!

Dan

It is time i changed my avatar.

Now where can I buy a high quality monkey?

Agent5, I agree. I think it's about time that you got a new avatar. Perhaps one of yourself?

It's now much looser

Not at all! I love that photo. It has a great "timeless" quality to it. It could have been taken last year in England or seventy years ago in Chicago. Very nice!
