Line 1: Line 1:
I've been a life-long fan of the Alien movies and the Alien universe in general. As such, I've decided I need to make myself a costume from that universe. Being a bearded man, Captain Dallas was the most natural fit for me.

== Research ==
I came across the website [http://www.other-worlds.co.uk/ Other Worlds Designs], and they've got a lot of great resources on the costumes in Alien. Of course, [https://www.therpf.com/ The RPF] has some great threads as well. I've linked some of the most useful bit below:

== Notes ==
* The base jacket used for the Nostromo crew is an RAF MK3 cold weather jacket.
** There is a lot of debate as to what color the jacket should be. Apparently they came in green, grey, and even "wine" colors. Most costumers seems to dye their jackets with a grey/blue mixture.
* The webbing on the jackets is taken from a US G-4A/G-4B or UK EFA-10 flight suit.
** This is also the base for Ripley's coveralls.
* The base watch worn by the crew is a Casio F-100.
* The base shoe appears to be a hi-top PF Flyer, though many costumers seem to go with Converse Chuck Taylors (or knock-offs).
** Any all-white hi-top with a flat sole would likely do just as well if you're planning on making modifications to them.
