I've followed your blog a while ...Hello, Rick. <br />I've followed your blog a while now and it's been extremely helpful in making my 'girly' Ten suit. Thank you so much for the guidance. :)<br />I do have a question for you regarding the REAL suit (Gap trousers) colors. Coming from a designer POV, have you ever compared the colors to Pantone colors? I'm thinking of having fabric made up, possibly with Spoonflower, and I'd like to know what the closest colors are Pantone RGB to use on my computer, especially if I have to design it myself. <br />My current suit is too light in color...I made it more screen accurate rather than realistic color (always looks very dark to me when I see pictures of the actual fabric). I'm still debating if I'd like to redo it in the darker color (needs redoing anyway...the fabric I chose needs to be a little stronger, for all that running. ;) Lol), but if I do it, I want to do it right. If needed I can try to send a picture of my material so you can see the lightness of it. <br />Thank you again for all you've done. You are officially my costume research hero. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09335964223853625876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070344278942504639.post-34061593893251748902016-09-07T20:38:33.496+01:002016-09-07T20:38:33.496+01:00There's one more!

It turned out to be a variant with a black weave instead of brown, so that the final result is a very dark navy with black circles, but light blue squares. It would seem to be a combination of the blue variant and black variant described here. The seller's camera and lighting were limited, but she was kind enough to send a confirmation picture: https://s15.postimg.io/7x2akw8iz/navy_tennant.jpgUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166240562137221817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070344278942504639.post-62541950506655137682016-07-21T01:54:08.288+01:002016-07-21T01:54:08.288+01:00Well.... bright enough to see that it looks like t...Well.... bright enough to see that it looks like the suit now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540588775256616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070344278942504639.post-12774925749954063012016-07-21T01:53:24.198+01:002016-07-21T01:53:24.198+01:00just dye it in half a bottle of navy RIT, and two ...just dye it in half a bottle of navy RIT, and two and a half gallons of water.

It tends to be lacking in the very dark hues, and this falls very much into that range. <br />I've several times put a Pantone book to the GAP fabric, and never found a shade of brown dark enough to call a match. <br />Maybe I'll have another go and see if there's a way to channel the colour productively.

The brown is a wee bit too bright, but honestly, they go for 7$ each. It's good enough for those a bit late to the party, with limited funds. They're also mass produced, so stock should last approximately forever. http://tinyurl.com/obaxwmnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04498718434678339239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070344278942504639.post-31870677562281070592014-09-03T16:37:47.897+01:002014-09-03T16:37:47.897+01:00Did you manage to find the brand of the Impossible...Did you manage to find the brand of the Impossible planet tie Steve?FourKnockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732087031427322866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070344278942504639.post-28374171635433725072014-03-28T11:29:22.241+00:002014-03-28T11:29:22.241+00:00And they were going for 6.99 GBP previous to March...And they were going for 6.99 GBP previous to March 9th, before they were sold out.
