Joker Hexagon Fabric Print Interest

Wal Mart has been a very good to me in finishing this costume. LOL THanks GS I'll pick those up tommorow. THat and some of the most bizarre Red Tag Fabric I can find at Joann's. (Oh yeah I'll have to post the results!!!) Thanks again!
 
Nice find on the white diamond suspenders!!

ps: anyone know how much this fabric is per yard & if UK shipping is optional??

Yes, a fabric marker would work quite nicely on the white braces. First you could dye them a light grey and then color the diamonds with the marker. I'm ordering them TODAY!!

Oh…and for price comparative purposes…the white braces will cost you about $40 USD. If you decide to undertake making your own, like Sinister did SO well, you'll have to buy the suspenders (cost???), buy the Tailor iron ons at $12.95 (which you can purchase HERE:http://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number=JT-488/175.0.2002.9492.0.0.0), recreate the pattern in Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc., and then print and iron on the braces.

All said and done…it's probably LESS time and $ to buy the white braces and use a fabric marker to color them.

BTW - I think I did a pretty fair job of recreating the pattern in Photoshop. If anyone wants a copy of the file, message me and I'll email you a JPEG.

Knowing what I do now, I probably woulda ordered them, too...but, I've already got my Tailor iron-ons and the suspenders are on the way, so I'm gonna do like Sinister, and make mine...I sent you a PM, dude....:)

Well, with the $21.24 shipping, the white suspenders NOW jump to over $60. Looks like DIY IS the best solution. Now I gotta find some suspenders to print on!!

Yeah...I feel the pain! I recently ordered a couple of band shirts for my son from the UK, which were only 30 bucks, but the 28 dollar shipping really killed me...

Here's where I bought my suspenders...

Gotta dye them grey, then add those wicked diamonds...;)

Nothing costume related, but just a spot of good luck and hopefully helpfull karma I can pass on. I managed to snag the Recalled Joker Movie Masters figure with the Joker card Evidence Off the shelf at the Meijers grocery store in my town. So If you have Meijers in your town and want to buy the figure at Retail (Non Ebay XTReME Mark up and Hype) you might just get lucky. Also Thanks again Ghostsoldier I picked up the Patterns today at JoAnne's also found some fun fabric to test them out with. Funny thing though the Western Themed one was Husky boys and Big N' Tall Mens. So I dont fit that one LOL! I like the Vest pattern in it though So I am going to try and Re-scale it to me. I'll let you know how it turns out.8)
 
Here's my vest guys. The color is gray, even though the lighting in the second picture gives off a satisfying green tint. The front is a thick wool/cashmere texture and the back is satin.

My plan is to go hunting for a tailor this weekend and have him (or her!) separate the material for me so I can re-color the fabric appropriately. Popping into Goodwill tomorrow to find some nice guinea pig pants for my experimentation.
 
i see you already have your shirt, nice where'd ya snag that? your vest look really good, bet it will look event better when its green
 
those are the shirts that were going on ebay for like $69, i got me one too, getting it fitted today in fact

the pattern isn't accurate but it's all screen printed and the pattern that is on it is still snazzy

so i'll end up having this one and the one i'll get from Kwally, i'l lhave shirts coming outta my ears!!!!!
 
Oh yes, it is the Singapore Shirt. Sent away for it in the first week of August, just got it yesterday. Wore it out on the town last night. Good times.

It's a lot bluer than Heath's shirt, and only has about four or five different hexes (half of which don't even appear at all in the movie), but it's a good stand-in shirt until the better one arrives...

Almost immediately after I purchased it I located a fairly accurate hex pattern for sale, which led to my eventual experimentation with iron-on transfer. During which, I came upon this thread. That is my story.

This way, I'll have something close to five different shirts, which I can select according to the context of the outing (no need to rough up the Good Stuff, so to speak): the Singapore Shirt, the Iron-on Transfer shirt, and two or three Digital Print Shirts.

I mean, people really don't notice. I had to point out to a couple of admirers who thought I had a perfect replica just how different the pattern is. I plan on using the Good Stuff on special occasions, and the others while in the company of less fanatic moviegoers. :)

i know what ya mean i was going to buy one of these until i found this thread, but my shirt at the minute has been drawn with fabric pen by me im happy with it but will be alot happier with a screen accurate shirt ^^

Nice vest, 4.....and I think I'll pick up one of those shirts, too, just for kicks...that way, when I'm out blowing up stuff and fighting Bats, I won't be worrying about ripping my SA shirt!:D

they're nice though arent they! heh

i'm having mine tailored to be a skinny fit, i had to order medium as they didn't do small.

i like the colour though, there's something about the blue i like.

and yep, mine only arrived this week, i'd forgotten about it so it was nice surprise when the Royal Mail man turned up with it!!

then the next day he brought me my socks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are sooooooo cool i havent taken them off - ugh!!! hahaha!!
