"Hahahahaha haaha hohe aha ha ha ooh he ha ha...and I thought my jokes were bad.... I know the squeelers when I see em."
Okay, I have had a lot of questions concerning the brand of the pants I used for my Joker...
So, for anyone still wondering...
I am sorry, but I do not know the brand. The pants only had one tag and it said 100% wool. They were bought at Macy's and they were originally light grey with white pinstripes.
Any of you on this thread know that if I had that information that I would be glad to share it with all of you.
As for the dying instructions... I have posted them on one of the other pages of this thread.
I wish everyone the best of luck and I am always glad to help... :cheers
P.S. Thanks to everyone for checking out my auctions and for all the wonderful comments about my costume... :cheers

Yes that vest is sweet. Guess you made THAT too, didn't you Sinister?? Show off!!!
Great job
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!
Thanks so much klohse!
Oh! Yes the vest is 100% custom...
No labels...
I think I said in a much earlier post that the back was original a dress shirt that I dyed to make the right color. The front was originally a light tan denim material that I also custom dyed using Rit Kelly Green and a little Rit Golden Yellow. The pattern for the vest is the one listed earlier on this thread by myself and LSFU, with a few slight modifications...
Oh! Even though you cannot see it in the photos, I have the 1944 Mercury Wing Head Dime as the "Missing/Unbuttoned" button...
It's the little things that make me smile

Well, those of us up here in NE TX got caught in IKE's path yesterday and I lost power about 3PM CDT yesterday. STILL no power, I'm on my sister's Mac right now and have just discovered to my horror that the suspenders' auctions have ended. I FULLY intended to win the 2nd set that went for $41.
Hey Ghostsoldier--how you coming with making your suspenders??
I really need some help with this suspender thing--if anybody can make me a pair, I'd be happy to pay them a reasonable sum.
Otherwise, this Joker will be suspenderless on Halloween--and I KNOW none of you want that!!

Sin...sorry for the late post...been busy all weekend...but I wanted to tell you how flippin' sweet that costume is!
You nailed the pants and the vest...I'm jealous!Rob
guys, I'm going set the last day for ordering the fabric on Wednesday. The reason being...not even half of the people who said they wanted fabric have ordered. I can't print the 450 yds when only 200 has been orders. Soooo I'm going to adjust the yardage to around 300 unless we get a lot of people buying by Wednesday. Sorry if it is taking me a while to respond to pms...I just found out I have gluten intolerance...(pretty much can't eat any grains wheat barley oats etc) soooo the military is trying to find a reason why they shouldn't kick me out and it isn't looking good...but this is still going to be a success!!!
Geez! Sorry to here all the bad news there Kody. I hope everything works out for you. Thanks for keeping the project going for all of us that are still in. I am sure we all are very grateful for your efforts. Hang in there buddy!
Do we need to start PMing all of those that haven't ordered yet?
Come on guys! It is the highest quality shirt material for the absolutely cheapest price! What more can anyone ask for???

Great idea Kwally!! Thanks for taking care of those of us who paid like we said we would. It's not right to hold up our fabric for everyone else who's trying to get the $ together. I realize money's tight these days, but you either have the cash to buy now, or you don't. It's not personal--just business. Hope your other situation works out for you. Thanks again for all you're doing to get us other Jokers dressed appropriately this Halloween!!

Kody,
Sorry to hear that, bro...that's the military for ya, tho...it's just big business, like everything else in the world. Hope it works out, man.
As far as adjusting the fabric order: What are the ramifications (from the print company) for making a smaller order? Are they gonna want to increase the cost to make up the deficit in order volume, to cover the cost of tooling a limited run?

Hey guys, if anyone is still looking for suspenders:
http://www.andrewmcdowall.co.uk/braces-clip.html
Scroll down (second to last) and they have the all white/white diamond (which is the same exact style), you just have to color in the diamonds yourself with a fabric marker.

Despite the fact that I do feel bad for Kwally with all these people bailing on him, it is a bit of a relief to know now that I didn't get my order in too late. I was afraid there'd be a mad dash to the order thread, and that there was no way I'd get mine before Halloween.
I propose a toast to everyone who helped make this possible, and everyone who supported Kwally on this whole thing, and also gave the rest of us some great tips for other parts of the costume.
:cheers
All it takes is a little... push.

can a size SMALL shirt be made from 2 yards? i definitely will send the payment out right now if it can. 2 yards by 63" sounds like enough fabric to me but i don't wanna dish out an extra 26 for another yard if i'm only gonna use scraps of that extra yard.
thanks in advance guys.

Yes we found these braces a week or so ago. About $60 USD once you've paid for shipping. That's probably too rich for THIS Joker's blood. Harley Quinn will have my A#@ if I spend too much more $ on this costume!!! She's pretty PO'd already at my $50 knife!!!
Say guys and gals…back to this button deal. I saw the film again this weekend (or about 2/3 of it until IKE struck and we lost power in the theater!) and I think the buttons are sort of a blue pearlescent color. If someone has a high rez pic that shows different, no problem, but I specifically watched for a button color this time and I'm pretty sure that during the interrogation scene, you could see a bluish button on the shirt at the collar.
BTW, I watched CLOSELY for sight of the braces during the film and never actually saw them once. You CAN see the back of Ledger's pants being pulled up after he's been flipped onto the table, which suggests braces are being worn, but again, I don't think they ever actually get any screen time.
All of this of course, to rationalize my NOT having braces because I missed Sinister's auction!!!

I'm not really a regular here (yet) but I put in an order for the fabric and felt like giving back so here is a tip on the pants. Sarah Jessica Parker has her own clothing line called "Bitten" and they have a pair of pants that is a dark purple with white pinstripes. I recommend getting them a couple inches longer than neccessary because they cuff at the bottom but with a slight hemming they fit the bill nicely. Running them through a wash a few times also help to lighten the fabric a little.
