Eastman BS, Horse-pucky, and a Hornswaggle

Ok this is the first time I’ve ever seen this photo with a red lining. View attachment 88875View attachment 88877
Looks like it was colorized in the top photo .

Bad Photoshop color adjustment.

Here's a question, and apologies if I've missed the answer in discussion, but what was hanging off Hiltz's baseball glove?

I haven't watched the movie on my big, flat screen since we got it, so I've never been able to make it out.

How do you suppose the V. Hiltz name tag came about?

I expect he took it to the costume department and told them it needed a new name plate.

Costume department in Bavaria?

Just another factor to add to questions about the production of TGE.

Probably the closest I've seen to a hilts repro.
Most likely down to the honest wear

From the jacket fade thread

The Heisenberg thread that popped up today , may or may not contain some of JC’s thoughts on the jacket..not withstanding that the poster has shown himself to be a liar and untrustworthy as you might recall or can certainly read about later

Thats one.. two more and he may reappear...

I'm in the middle of a project myself - with thanks to blackrat2. I simply wasn't wearing it enough as the colour wasn't dark enough for me, so I decided to redye my GW27752. Having redyed a2s I the past I knew I could do it to a good standard so bit the bullet as I've always wanted a redye roughwear ever since seeing the great escape as a teenager.
I will do a proper post when I get the time.

Looks good. Been there, done that. What make / type of dye did you use?

No chance.

Very nice, but can you dye the knits Khaki green too just like The Great Escape Artist postulated?

This is my Dad with his field work "uniform". Khakis and a Sears A-2 copy in black leather.

I used fiebings stuff to start with but had a green tinge to it. I mixed some shoe redying stuff from the coblers that I've used before. Dylon I believe. Seems pretty good replication of 40s polyacrelate, I matched it to an original redye I have.

Nice.

Did you ever get around to schooling him though about how the Sears iteration was problematic with its seam allowances?
