H&W would be husband and wife
It took awhile but Kim and I finally have our pilot costumes (mostly) done. I say mostly because our helmets are still in the process of being painted. But we are approved and official
Say hello to Shadow 7 & 8 (and an extra pic of us on duty with Krash)

Thanks
The flightsuits were made from scratch--a lot of work, but guaranteed to fit well that way (as well as be as screen accurate as possible ). _________________

You did a killer job there!
I didn't want a scratch built one as they don't feel or look like a flight suit would but yours seem to pull it off damn well!
Post some pics of your helmets when they get done! _________________

Awesome, of course! Great job on the suits, they fit you perfectly. I'd like to see them in person sometime so I can get an idea what the trigger fabric is like. I plan on sewing "H & W" orange for my husband & I.
(BTW Kim, if you don't have a LOTR Lady Galadriel costume, you really should make one: you look so much like her!)  _________________ ~Mieal |

When I was looking online at JoAnns to see if they had similar material, they call Trigger "Cotton Canvas Trigger"
So while Hancock fabrics discontinued their "trigger," online I think it may be the same thing as their Cotton Canvas which coincidentally comes in orange.
Anyways, it is close in weight to other flightsuits/jumpsuits.
LOL. Yes. I did a simplistic Galadrel costumen many years ago. But since seeing the real dress... I could never get that detailed. PLus, I have enough with the DC comic and SW costumes. LOL _________________

I found a place online that sells the trigger in the Seville Orange. It's called poplin by some places. _________________ ~Mieal |

I guess this means we have to chip in and get you monogrammed R2-units?
Aw frak, you both have the same initials... frak that then.  |
