Scored Dmc Sweater Part 5 Clean Glove - sirbrad - 06-01-2008
Well I finally got this and I must say I am very impressed with the quality! They only come in large, which kinda a small large, but it makes it fit snug which helps a lot to fit the actual look. Although I prefer a slightly more baggier shirt just in case I have to wear clothes underneath. It fits almost too perfectly, and the sleeves were only a tad long, and I cut them down in half and began weathering the rest of the sweater as well. I must say it is very nerve-wracking cutting up a $125 dollar sweater that is this nice, and this heavy material.However for $185 I figured I may as well weather it myself as I am pretty used to doing it by now due to making about 6 Jason costumes. The material is so good that it will not keep ripping down like some cheaper material thankfully, so I made short cuts and just pulled about until it stopped, as I did not want the cuts to keep going. But the material is very thick and is great for cutting! I sort of emulated the cuts on the part 5 weathered version of DMC's, but made the cuts a little less patternized. I also did not want to go too far down with the collar just in case the mask I get is shorter, and the collar helps keep it tucked in.The only downside to weathering yourself is finding a thousand little red and green balls all over the place when you thought you cleaned them all up. I still dark blue ones around from my Jason costumes. I will use this to also make a display eventually for after Halloween to keep the spirit going. Maybe I will post pics again. Although my life-sized Jason is a little tall to be Freddy, so maybe I will dress him back up as Jason and I will be Freddy being I am about 5' 10" and he is 6' 4" But yeah whoever said I would not be disappointed was right. Fantastic sweater, and I love the brighter colors as they show better at night than the darker Rubies one which looks a little more like the VS one. I hope DMC makes a VS one day. Now I need to get my silicone, a few of DMC's masks, a hand from Suckface, and a glove from knifegloves and maybe allthingsevil, and I should be set for awhile! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />I will begin doing the pait weathering later, but not too much as I want to keep this kinda bright. Thanks to all for pointing me in the direction of these after I searched all the posts, pm's, and asked questions. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />

Oh yeah I also got the "realistic plastic glove" and it is the best, and most realistic plastic version I have ever seen. Great for events that do not allow metal. The glove itself was real cheap and came off, so I bought a rawhide leather one and just connected that. The blades are big and very visible and shiny, just like FVJ it appears. So as far as plastic goes this is the best. They sent the cheap one accidently so I also got that one and it doesn't compare. It looks too fake and the blades are too short. Won on eBay for very cheap new! Here is the plastic one. <img src=\"http://www.halloweenbros.com/EBayads/freddyglovead.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/297/jun01155yb8.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/5222/jun01145bb6.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/7318/jun01146vz9.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/8291/jun01147is1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/3928/jun01148gl4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/5286/jun01153oq1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

That's a very nice (part 5) Freddy Krueger sweater Sirbrad. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />

Yeah I love it. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> Been on my wish-list for a long time! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> Funny thing my life-sized display always scares the crap out of people as you can see it is next to the window. The window is covered with a thin black sheet, and the light creates a spooky silhouette. I see people pointing at it and saying "woah what is that!" and trying to look all around the window to see if it is a person. I am on the second floor which is even spookier because they think someone is looking down at them. I heard one person say it has not moved in like 10 minutes, and one lady wanted to call the cops because they though someone hung themselves. Then one lady said maybe it was a coat wrack. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> I can't believe I and my little projects are still scaring the crap out of people 8 months after Halloween.By the way I also want one of those cool Freddy window Silhouettes, I wonder if they look as good as the picture? Anyone have one? <img src=\"http://i3.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/ae/fe/32c1_1.JPG\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

I bought the window silhouettes, and they look okay, but maybe a tad less cool than that picture. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />By the way did you get your part 5 sweater from DMC or ebay? I've finally decided to buy a part 1 sweater, but can't seem to find one.

David Miller has one of the thickest nice quality sweaters available but he should remove the 5th stripe.I purchased the same sweater and once weathered looks phenomenal on a bust.
