The shirt and pants in Part 3 must certainly be OLIVE and SILVER-GREY, not “hunter” and “khaki”. I will return with some more corrections tomorrow, but I thought you might like to know the axe head in Part 3 has a red color that’s worn down to the metal, similar to this:

The boots in many of the later films aren’t just generic black boots. To achieve an aged look, most start with light colored boots and weather them dark.

Dick Wieand has refered to the coveralls from Part 5 as “green” in a few interviews. I think it’s safe to say they were SPRUCE GREEN, and appear true to how they look in that photo of Roy in the nail bed.

22

Not sure how thoroughly you read, but for the part 3 shirt I state that it is Olive Drab and that a good SUBSTITUTE would be hunter green.

The shirt worn by Jason in part 3 is a 6 Button Big Mac “Penn Prest” Work Shirt, in the color Olive Drab. These shirts are pretty hard to come by, but they are totally worth the cash! If you need a quick and accurate substitution, a longsleeve Dickies work shirt in Hunter Green would work.

As for the pants- that is debatable. FiIm can do tricky things with color. Take the part 6 pants for example. Some see silver-grey, others see khaki, but when weathered they look just about identical. And I realize the later boots aren’t all generic black boots. That is put there as a good substitution for anyone looking until the exact brands can be found :laughing: :rolleyes:

Figured they were spruce green since that BTS pic showed true color unlike the manipulated film/lighting tricks. But, is spruce green accurate? They may have been spruce green, but they appear blue. It just depends on if you want screen accuracy or true accuracy. Obviously it will be updated to spruce green, but you see my point I’m sure.

23

Damn. Kudos to you and those that helped. A fantastic thread. This kinda stuff can be put into a cool collectors guide.

24

For reference: the colors you see here are accurate to what I saw in person. At least on my computer screen :laughing:

The part 8 shirt (center) was a cool gray, while the JGTH (left) and 7 outfits (right) were a warmer gray. The 7 is heavily weathered so that it almost looks tan.

Most of the bluish tones you see on screen come from color timing: to indicate an eerie, nighttime scene, film will be given a bluish tint in post-production even though during filming everything was flooded in bright white light.

25

I read just fine. I appreciate the time you’ve taken, but I find it difficult to call this a “definitive guide” when it has so many loose ends and inaccurate recommendations. For instance, why recommend hunter green when dickies already offers olive? And I don’t believe anyone considers the pants color debatable at this point - it is certainly silver grey in part 3/4 (part 6 remains in question). As for Roy’s coveralls, they may appear blue in photos, but when the actor himself refers to them as green, one can assume they were not blue. Color timing considered, blue rarely photographs as green in film; however, vice versa is quite common (i.e. the H2 coveralls).

Okay, just wasn’t sure since you missed that. That’s the thing- it WILL be the definitive guide. As for the part 3 shirt, I wasn’t aware they offered olive, that will be changed, as will the pants, which I already said. As stated in the first post, this is an evolving thread. Completely open to the help and insight of other members. To do so with such attitude is unnecessary IMO. Also as I said (feeling as if I have to repeat myself) It will be added in that the Roy coveralls were spruce green, but would that be what you tell someone to get when looking to put together a costume when they appear blue on screen? If what someone wants is screen accuracy, then they should buy blue. I’m not debating that they weren’t green here.

27

I didn’t mean to come off harsh. A lot of people in the community will appreciate this thread, and I’m glad it will evolve as you acquire more information.

This opens a good question: do people make costumes to represent the aesthetic they “see” in a film, or do they replicate the screen used objects?

Overall, I think most collectors want what was used on set. The variables the film creates between how the character looks throughout various scenes (lighting, color timing, white balance, etc.) are often issues concerning photography, editing, and development. Like Roy’s coveralls being “blue” (instead of spruce), the Part 3 hockey mask being “white” (instead of antiqued), Leatherface’s chainsaw being “yellow” (instead of green), Myers’ coveralls being “blue” (instead of charcoal), etc. I think cataloging a costume guide should rely on the accuracy to the objects used on set, not through the portal of a film.

The mysteries of this hobby are what have always made it interesting to me, and it’s great that our community has people studying and analyzing these costumes and masks like important works of art. Better quality prints of the films have helped us gather clues in our research, and we will continue to change the way we “see” the props over time.

28

In a broader sense, collectors definitely want what was used on set. There’s no argument there. But that being said, the small group who want a screen accurate costume shouldn’t be neglected here. That is what screen accurate means after all, accurate to what is seen on screen. What if the chevrons on Roy’s mask were red but lighting and filters made them appear blue? Would most people want red chevrons on the mask for their costumes? That example is obviously hypothetical, but the answer is-- probably not. Spruce green may have been the color used, but I am still going to suggest to people a blue color for a more screen accurate look.

I think cataloging a costume guide should rely on the accuracy to the objects used on set, not through the portal of a film.

It already does does both, mainly the first. The thread first lists the brands and colors used on film, then the closest brand/design, and if not “generic” is placed in it’s spot until it is found out.

All in all I want the people on here to be able to have their pick- screen or set accurate. And if those happen to be the same thing, then that’s great! Just trying to reach everyone here/

29

Agree with Precarious here. I’m not sure there’s much value in forging into the highly subjective world of perceived colors/styles apparent on screen. That will change over time and with individual viewers and can create a lot of confusion. I think a thread like this is more useful if it focuses on factual knowledge about the original props and costumes and their actual characteristics and minimizes speculation. Just my two cents.

30

And I’m glad you threw it in, but I am still mulling it over and leaning towards keeping SA recommendations. I would like it kept in mind that I do that once in the entire thread, for the Roy coveralls. Not every thing for every section :slight_smile:.

31

Really great thread. I know a lot about the Remake… probably way to much, ok, yes, its my obsession.

The Hockey mask and Machete were custom made.

Everything else can still, if your very lucky, be made into a costume.

The Jacket is made of the following 2 jackets.

A H&M Parka, the under jacket…

And a Woolrich Stag Jacket, Barley in color, is the overjacket which is turned inside out and cut around the mid section about mid rib level…

The jackets are weathered and stained and dirtied up shredded and sewn together, this is how mine turned out, using the above 2 jackets…

I could never find the exact jeans they used. They are not Khakis. The closest I could find was Lee Walnut Brown Jeans. Refer to number one on the following picture of the screen worn pants. That’s a jeans rivet and a standard double stitched jeans pocket.

Something that should be also covered for the Remake costume, the holster. The holster is made of a horse bit and blinder. One common mistake people make is how the holster was attached to his belt and or waist. They used 6-7 foot split reins with latigo ties. The split reins can be seen in the above picture, number two, wrapped around the waist and tied, with latigo ties, on the horse bit.

I have to give a shout out to Jasonlivessince1980. He makes, or has made, one of the best Remake Hocks ever. Here is mine made by JL80 compared to the original. He is a member of this forum.

All the above thumbnails are clickable. If you want to know about the boots, the undermask, the 3-way hock strap connector, the other weapons or props, let me know. And OP, please use any of my pictures if you need any for your original post. :slight_smile:
