Joker Hexagon Fabric Print Interest

Kwally89 said:
don't worry guys!!! I working with my fabric guy to get a swatch made then I can authorize production on the large scale. Next time I speak with him, I am going to emphasize the Halloween deadline. I'm hoping to get this out to you with at least 2 weeks before Halloween. It took considerably longer than I expected to get the vector done. With that being said, sereiana did a great job!!! I will take orders soon... Just bare with me!! I'm trying to get the best quality fabric at the cheapest price because the fabric price is separate from the printing costs!!! I'll update soon!! Happy labor day weekend whooo!!!

This is fabulous! If you need more people in on it Kwally, I would love 4 yards for my husbands costume. I have been searching for weeks for the perfect fabric and found this thread by accident. Let me know if it's too late or not to get in on it.
 
Ghostsoldier: Apologies for the offense, but I'm not trying to be critical of anyone here. I don't really make a lot of money; I cut meat in a corporate line of grocery stores. I can certainly relate to money woes. So if your aim is to throw a Halloween outfit on a budget, then more power to you. But for me, Heath's Joker holds a special kind of allure. On the level, his wardrobe seems to be comprised of clothes attainable to anyone; but when you look close you see everything is customized and unique. I want to get as close to that as possible. Because that's what MY preference is. Not because I think it's "better".

'I am a law only for my kind, but am no law for all' and so forth.

That being said, I actually managed to find a cotton vest with lapels recently. It's not a perfect match to Heath's (wrong number of buttons, different pockets), but it is a very reasonable fascimile. Be warned, the price is steep.

God, that's an ugly link. Haha. Anyway, I'm still waiting for it in the mail, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to go about with the alterations? Obviously I would need to separate the material to re-color both halves, but does anyone have a preferred method for doing so? All suggestions are welcome.

i would very much love to get in! sorry if i'm a noob and this has already been answered, but i'll take whatever it needs to make a full shirt, then maybe order double, or triple that length.

None taken, fourcolor...:)...sometimes, at my age, I get a bit testy, if I percieve people to be too judgemental...but, I agree with you 100% about accuracy...it's what I'm striving for, also. I've been search for a week now for the perfect blue and white striped satin lining for the back of the vest; so far, I've only found 1 alternative, and it would have to be dyed, to boot, if it will even work...the swatch is on the way, and I'll soon find out.

God, this hobby is maddening!:D

hey sup all, another newbie here... hope all the long timers on this thread arent getting irritated by those of us jumping on the wagon this late in the game after all the hard work is done. if so i apoligize... i just stumbled across this site the other day, started reading, couldnt stop reading, and was totally blown away by the teamwork going into this thing! never seen anything like it on something like this and my hat is off to everyone that made this thing happen; particuraly kwally, pinder and sereiana. haha you guys are my heros! :D

that said i'd like to get down for 6 yards if possible... i only need 3 yards before halloween though, so if spliting my order up helps some other clown get theirs before fright night im all for it. again, kudos to all for a job SUPERBLY well done!!!

Long process...but...I'm REALLY excited to get this out to you guys!! Keep on the lookout for updated...

Those are made by a company called Albert Thurston, another English upscale menswear company. Who wants to bet they did his suspenders custom, like T&A did the tie?

I would say just use a fine tipped textile marker to outline and then another to fill the diamonds in. Or if you really wanna test yourself Embroider over the diamonds with a sewing machine. They are perfect as is. For my tastes, but otherwise I would just contact them and see about if they would sell them in the green and Grey/silver/aluminum/steel/shadowy misted air Black XP (save the color argument They are all one and the sameish)
Anyone know a Simplicty pattern# for a good enough Dress shirt to get some practice before I get this fabric? dont need the rounded cuff or anything just a good guide for now.

I still prefer the look of Sinister's braces. I really like the leathers color and shine on his. Though the white's attractive this Joker wouldnt bother to have such Pristine looking White anything. (Like I said this Joker. The Dark Knight Returns(Favorite Batman GN) Joker with the White Suit Is a whole different Beast.
