Looking for feedback
Okay, I have been working on two of the Torchwood boys costumes, and variations, so I am looking for some feedback.
Dr. Owen Harper
This is Owen from the S2 episode "Meat." It is pretty canon except that my glasses are not as thick as Owen's were (his looked more like The Doctor's glasses while these are my actual glasses), and he did not have the small line of white ribbing on the edge of the sleeves and collar. Exact shade of denim on the jeans and even a white t-shirt under the vest. I just don't know what kind of shoes he wears, so I went with the usual boots. This is from the second day of the episode, when they all take the retcon.
This is from the beginning of the S2 episode "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." Owen is wearing a white, short sleeved shirt with one pocket in the episode when he is shooting at the blowfish and tending to the shooting victim. He then changes clothes back at the Hub to the t-shirt we are familiar with form that episode.
About the labcoat... I do not have the actual badges, although my friend JB has deciphered what most of them are, so I have taken to filling it with various Torchwood-esque badges ("It's not camping until you can't see over the bodies", "Holy Inappropriate Touching Batman!", etc.). I think that should be okay.
Ianto Jones
This is parts of my S2 costume from "Meat." I was so excited that I found the tie! (Probably more excite than I should be.) I figured my shirt (although it is technically a woman's cut) should work for the time being because it is the same shade blue.
And these are my Ianto style outfits. he does wear the red shirt with just the waistcoat and sleeves rolled up, but I don't think the tie is correct. The blue one was a variation for ACEN, the red set was for the second Whoniverse Photoshoot in April.
Now on to the big questions...
I am starting to build costumes. It would reason that someone who has done theatre for as long as I have should attempt this. I am building the Gwyneth dress (DW S1, "The Unquiet Dead") for a friend, and for the same friend (Why yes, she does like Eve Myles...) I am building from scratch the PC Cooper Police Coat. For this I need help. If ANYONE has close-up shots or non-blurry shots of this coat and their police badges I would love you. I need these close-ups. I have the nylon and everything, just need to figure out the exact placement of the blue and white checkered stripes and how the "HEDDLU POLICE" is done.
In that same vein, I am building a Margaret Blaine costume for myself, and I am going to attempt building a pinstripe suit to complete the "Meat" Ianto outfit. I need advice on how to deal with pinstripes. I also need to know if anyone has a pattern for a men's suit. I have found shirts, trousers (kind of) and waistcoats, but no suit jacket and stuff. I even have a pattern for a tie, but nothing for a suit. I could really use the help. I want both Margaret and Ianto done for Chicago TARDIS.
I also have a pattern for Owen's blue shirt, the one with two pockets, that he wears in several episodes and promo shots. I just don't know what material and what shade blue will work perfectly.
Also, does anyone have closeup shots of the hand in the jar and the Resurrection Gauntlet?
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.
