Guest skygunbro Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Well I got some ILM files of the actual cgi models used in the movie the clarity is beautiful and the guy doing the silk screening has pro digital enhancing equiptment so ther wont be any pixelazation or blurring due to blowing up the image. It generally takes about 5 yards to do an average size suit. If this was an off the shelf material then cost would go down.I have no desire to make any money off the material you pay what I pay.But of course to do the suits themselves ill have to charge labor as well for other items involved zipperes,velcro etc. which dont add up to much. But for custom printed accurate material its not really that bad.and I plan on using a nice twill so longevity and wear of a twill suit would be excellent.
TB-7076 Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I just got a new job - so the least I'd order would be the material. But I hope the guy can give you a sample to show before purchase.
Darth Templar Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I was just wondering if there is any more development or updates on this topic? Thanks, Jim (DT)

Many utility type uniforms use this material because it takes a nice press and wears strongly. It keeps it shape and size after the initial wash and it pretty durable. I have been using the twill myself in cummerbunds and vests. It holds the colors nicely too. Looking forward to seeing this project completed.
