Zam Parts Resources

Zammers: I'm starting a new thread that will be a working listing of Zam resources.

We all know that sources come and go with too much regularity, though some stay pretty constant. Feel free to post URL's and pictures here, as well as reviews. If we need to be aware of anything about the resource - please post that too!

Do NOT post personal names or email addresses without permission. This is only to help other Zammers find that elusive part or resource.

I'll be trying to pull this information out of the rest of the threads and put it all here - but be patient with the process. Feel free to add your own or any updates! The more information or resources we have, the better.

Happy Zamming!

Glove Resources:

The latest Threads Magazine (March 2008) was a special on couture sewing. In it they had an "insider's list of custom services that support the fashion industry." (Pgs. 48-53). Two glove makers were listed there:

1: Lacrasia Gloves, 1181 Broadway, 8th floor, New York, NY 10001 http://www.lacrasia.com

The blurb says that she produces custom designs upon request and that you can use your own fabric or choose from their stock of imported leathers. Prices start at $50 for custom gloves in stretch fabric and $75 for leather styles.

2. Gaspar Gloves, Hollywood CA http://www.gaspargloves.com

They make custom gloves for the film and theater industries, using traditional table-cutting and hand-stitching techniques. Specializes in period styles. Prices start at $55 and vary according to style and material.

I haven't personally used either of them, but do know Threads Magazine writers usually have a very high standard. Those prices seem pretty reasonable to me too. I think I'm going to see how my gloves turn out.... since they are already cut out of the leather. I simply have to sew and dye them. If they don't work, I think I'm going to try one of these out!

Fabric Resources:

Several Zammers have used The Stretchouse - the spandex covered neoprene - and been very happy with it. You might want to order a sample to see if it will work for you - as it is NOT EXACTLY the same as the original fabric used in AOTC - it does not have the same sheen. The color is very very similar though.

I still offer the complete greeblie kit to anyone interested. it comes with 15 pieces as shown



i actually offer them in black resin casted pieces which make the final weathering and wear of the pieces easier and better. pm me if interested

How much is the set?

Same question here, how much is the set (+shipping to Sweden)?

You'll need to PM or email JDFett personally to find out how much the sets cost and how much shipping is. Thanks.

I just found a great place for neoprene...Macro International Company in Cali. Here is a link: http://www.macrointlco.com/sheets-color_chart.htm The red violet or fuschia pink look pretty close to Zam's pants to me and they stock those colors at their warehouse. I ordered some for some Padme pants I am making and for a 49inchx86inch sheet it was $34.19 plus shipping for a 0.5 mm thickness.
