Boromir's cloak

[Ninersphan]

So after watching parts of the trilogy this weekend on TNT, I noticed Boromir's cloak in Fellowship, more closely than I had before and was wondering if anyone had made a custom one. I wasn't posting here when the figure came out, so there may be a thread with this info in it, but doing a search turned up a rather daunting list of threads to look through.
I'd really love to have one, as my preference for displaying the Fellowship would be pre-Lorien, that way Gandalf would be with the Fellowship.

I can always just forgo the Lorien cloak, but Boromir's original looked really nice in the film and I was hoping one of the talented freaks might have made one and could share info on how they did it.

I believe "Capt. Faramir" was working on one.

Boromir's cloak is a thing of beauty. It would look fantastic, along with the clasp in the front. Looking forward to seeing if anyone can recreate it.

that should have been the exclusive accessory instead of the *yawn* orc head.

Yeah, whatever happened to the cloak/furry cape that someone was making?

 

[pixletwin]

That was Captain Faramir and I believe he just said that it is coming along nicely. He said he would post pics of his progress when he got home for Xmas break.

Oh, excellent. I hadn't been keeping up with this. Can't wait to see the pics.

This is indeed true; I have to wait because all of the stuff is home in California and I have to finish finals up here in Utah. I should get started on it again next Monday or so. It is coming along really nicely; I even have the clasps! I can't wait to get back to work on it, he needs that cloak.

This is great news. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I can't even mend a sock so I have to live vicariously through you.

Thanks for the update Captian, I look forward to you sharing the finished results. Also can't wait to hear how you did it/ where you found the parts. I'm no seamstress, but my wife is, and I'm hoping she'll be able to sew one for me.

As you said, I think it's a necessity.

 

[galactiboy]

Very interested to see how this turns out!

I can't even mend a sock so ....

Have you ever tried??

 

[Zoomaround]

Sure have...on the same day as my broken heart. Darn stitches kept unraveling so I gave up -- both were thrown away long ago.

Have you ever tried??

Are you making these available for purchase for us here? If so, pending pics, I'm in!

 

[Captain Faramir]

Perhaps; it will all depend on how much fabric I have and how many I can make in the two weeks I'll be home; I don't have any sewing materials here in Utah. Plus only a few will have clasps but they're easy to make. In any case, you'll see them soon enough--until then we'll all just have to be patient.

 

[superdoug]

I can't wait to see them.

Like I said in another post, I'm really anxious to see this as well Cap. i was just browsing over some pictures I have of his cloak and it really is a magnificent costume piece. Hope we can see some pictures soon. And good luck on your finals btw!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Cap, can you post any pics of the progress on the cloak?

 

[ProgMatinee]

Cap, can you post a pic of the material you're using and where you got it?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Cap, can you just post anything?

 

[Ninersphan]

So Cap, any progess over the Christmas break???
