HALLOWEEN (1978) COVERALLS MATCH

[FutureReference]

Yeah I think it’s safe to call it case closed. There will always be people who own different brands arguing but this is as close as it gets. And all that matters is people have pairs they’re happy with anyway!

[Michael_T_Myers]

I recently picked up this pair of Montgomery Wards. I don’t know what the color is called but it looks like the right color to me. This pair has the hammer loop. I just sent them to a friend who is going to re-attach the hammer loop and square off the pocket flap. Until I find a set of the Sears in this thread the MW’s will have to do.

The Mongomerys look good enough, you should just try to remake the pocket to be square.

A friend of mine is going to make the alteration on the pocket flap to make it square. Otherwise this pair I have is almost spot on.

Congratulations, YOU have found them…they look great too. MIGHT would do 1 dye bath with black to darken them up but leaving the green to pop through…anyways. A huge huge congrats. Will be looking myself. No one run me up on any 48 Rs. Lol.

All hail Michael Myers 1978!

Hi,

First off. I want to say great job on finding these. I don’t think you realize just how lucky you are. I think we are all a little jealous of you right now. Even if we don’t want to admit it. So congratulations Michael Myers 1978.

You have done what was once thought impossible by the community. You have found the exact brand and style of coveralls used in Halloween 1978. And by the looks of it the same color as well. So be very happy with this accomplishment.

Secondly. I have some questions regarding your coveralls. If you don’t mind answering them that is. My questions are as followed:

What is the color of your coveralls? Are they Charcoal or Spruce Green?

What is the size of the patch pocket flap from the top to the bottom?

Is the patch pocket flap a single piece of material as it appears to be or multilayered?

Reason I am asking is because I plan to have my coveralls modified and I want to make sure mine are the same as yours. They are Big Macs but are identical to yours in detail and features. Other than the right patch pocket flap being the rounded snap style, the hammer loop and the color.

And my plan is to have my coveralls replicated at a later date so that others can buy them as well. So I want to be 100% sure mine have the same right patch pocket flap and color as yours when I go to do this. So please let me know on my questions when you can.

Thank you.

they’re a definite green

Alright. I thought they looked like Spruce Green. Still need confirmation from Michael Myers 1978. But yes from the recent pictures he uploaded they are indeed Spruce Green. Now to find out the size of the pocket flap and whether or not it is single or multilayered.

I will have to wait on him to reply to that since he has the coveralls. I am guess I am right and my eyes are correct and the pocket flap is indeed a single layer of material but I just need to know for sure. As well as the size. Once I know this I will be good to go.

it’s a separate piece and sewn to the same width as the pocket

Those comparison shots just speak for themselves.
Hands down these are the ones. I honestly wouldn’t even care if there is no Hammer Loop (It’s difficult to see if it the screen used coveralls even had one) Everything else is enough to call dibs! IMO lmao.
Huge congrats to Michael Myers 1978 for owning these, the irony-with that username haha.
Like I said before, we gotta keep us in the loop for sure on finding these. TBH who knows how many are out there…clearly not a whole lot if it has taken us this long to find them. They’ll pop up every once in awhile though, I know it.

Funny enough, the guy who sold these on ebay got them at a freaking GARAGE SALE. Incredible. Congrats again!

[TheGhostlyShape]

Anyone who denies that these are THE F****** coveralls is blind. Thanks so much man! Expect my PM soon

These should be in your definitive thread

Oh you know I’m working on it buddy. His comparison shots and all! Just haven’t got a minute to sit down and work that out with work/my H4 project.

[MProjects]

A Garage sale, of all places lol. The big question is what happened to the real ones, because no one knows. Surprised they didn’t use them for Halloween II for continuity. They probably just borrowed them off somebody, they were already weathered.

I think it’s safe to say that the definitive thread needs an update ;^)

Well damn I was right then. I guess I didn’t have to ask those questions after all. Now I just need the size from the top to the bottom. But it is most likely the same size as the pocket flap on my Big Macs. But hey I have to ask you know?

It is all about accuracy for me. And considering this guy is probably the only person on the planet that has this exact brand and style of coveralls then I just have to be for sure. Well maybe not the entire world. But within the community at least.

I just like to be thorough and not half ass something. This hobby is all about the wait. And I know some people aren’t as big or keen on complete accuracy but I tend to be. So if I need to know something I will ask until I get the right answer.

And with what I plan to do with the whole replica coveralls thing. I for sure do not want to half ass this. This is one of those rare occasions and I do not want to ruin it for myself or anyone else. So you best be damn sure I am going to be thorough with this one.

And sorry if I sound over enthusiast but hey. The guy found the coveralls used in Halloween 1978. So I am a bit excited for that. So I apologize for being so blunt about it. I will be alright. Just need to let it soak in a bit. But damn. What a year it has been for us in the community.

And to think I got out of the hobby years ago. And the time I get back into it. We have the new movie. And now this guy finding the coveralls used in Halloween 1978 after all these years? What is not exciting about that? Damn what a year we have had indeed.

I know exactly how you feel. I’m going to alter the pocket on my spruce green Big Macs as well & would also like to know the dimensions. But, I’ll leave the replica thing to you - I don’t have the patience for that, heheh. Cheers to you for wanting to do that for the community - I’m sure you’ll make a lot of folks happy here

[Michael_Myers_1978]

Thanks for the congrats again ya’ll! I honestly still can’t believe that I own these , If only we could locate or know what actually happened to the original pair Also to answer a couple questions, these definitely are a spruce green type color although the tags didn’t indicate it and the chest pocket flap measures 2 inches if any of ya’ll want a try at altering the chest pocket on your own pair. I was also unaware to where the guy who sold these to me got them and I’m pretty surprised, thanks for that knowledge TheGhostlyShape.

Thanks for letting me know Michael Myers 1978. Glad to know the size of the pocket flap from top to bottom now. Now all I need to do is find someone to modify mine. Then I can get some patterns made for you guys.

Reason I am going to get patterns made instead of replicas is because I simply cannot afford to have dozens or more of replica coveralls made. It would cost thousands of dollars in parts and labor. But the patterns will be made available for free.

So that everyone who wants to make their own then they can. So that way you can make your own choices for materials, colors and etc. Makes things a lot easier for me in the long run because everyone has their own personal choice for material and color.

Such as myself. I prefer a 65 cotton/35 polyester blend and solid Charcoal Gray. Where as someone else might prefer a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend and herringbone stripe Spruce Green for example.

Which is what my Big Macs are. And with the patterns you can simply take them to your local seamstress or tailor and make them the material and color you want. As well as scale them to fit you. So in the end everyone wins.

Anyways once I get my coveralls modified and the patterns made then I will make a topic with the link to the patterns so that you can download and print off the patterns for yourselves. Until then good luck to everyone on finding their own.

Thank you.

this is gonna be great, because I was gonna try replicate my Big Macs earlier this year

Right?! Fucking crazy. We might know eventually, we’ll see . When you think about it… they used sears for H2. Maybe this WAS their idea of continuity because they knew that’s what was used in the first film?

VERY safe to say that . Coming soon!

Yeah, you lucky bastard! yeah I was floored when he said he got them at a garage sale.

The original pair was probably borrowed, but I’ve reached out to a few people who may have them or know if/where they were borrowed from. More to come on that!

I think these “grey” definitely are the right color, but that they just appear a green. Again congrats!
