New Freddy Sweater (now Weathered!)

[johnp ●]

UPDATE: So I finally worked up the nerve to weather my Part 3 sweater (not the new Part 4 one I just got though <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" />). I used many pictures of the screen sweater as a guide, but I didn't go quite as crazy with the fraying -- it's a tedious process... at least if you want to make sure the sweater won't unravel later <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> Anyway, below are shots of front and back. And some comparison shots -- screen sweater on the right, adjusted to account for the fact that I was looking in a mirror <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /><img src=\"http://blargon.net/n/sw/1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://blargon.net/n/sw/4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://blargon.net/n/sw/compare1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://blargon.net/n/sw/compare2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />And...<img src=\"http://blargon.net/n/sw/5.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Thanks for looking!

Hey Tom,This sweater was made by Susan at www.customsweaters.com. The style (her "Bold Stripes") had been discontinued, but after some negotiation I was able to get her to make one for me (don't ask me what I paid...). I had many customizations to her basic style that I wanted, and we went back and forth by email a lot to work out all the details. This one was done to my measurements, and given more of a "V" cut by widening the shoulders and tapering the waist area a bit. Also, the set-in sleeves were modified to have less tapering (more of a straight line seam) like on the screen sweater. This also allows the stripes on the sleeves to hang a bit below the stripes on the body when I wear it, like on the screen sweater. The sleeve/body lengths were also adjusted. Etc...Anyway, she really did a fantastic job. The only minor thing I would change in the future is the collar. The screen collar sticks up a little more than hers do (I think it may be a slightly different style, similar to a short mock turtleneck).

Your sweater looks great and she does the best part three sweater.I did not realize that she has discontinued that specific sweater. I had almost cut mine to display a chest of souls and now I am glad that I did not. I wish that she would make a Freddy Vs sweater with the movie knit.

Great looking sweater. Nice score. You guys will not believe how much $$$ she is asking of me for one of these. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"rolleyes.gif\" /> I am disappointed with her new "price," to say the least. lol.

congrats on the score. that should have cost you a lot of $$$ <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /> and now here it comes...........the hardest part is to age and cut the sweater like the particular Part 3 (Dream Warriors) style or are you going to keep it clean just as it is now.

Thanks for the comments guys. At some point I may age/weather it with fabric paint and fraying, but not just yet <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
