Yup mine is out for delivery today as well and no customs form this time either. Waiting on pins and needles for it to arrive though! So hard to focus on work

Oh man! I can't wait to read what you think about it. Enjoy!!!Yup mine isn’t for delivery today as well and no customs form this time either. Waiting on pins and needles for it to arrive though! So hard to focus on work
Awesome. Looking forward to hearing what you think about it when you've opened it up!
Rest assured, I will be working on that as soon as I've received mine and will keep people posted about the possibility of getting a run of them made. They would certainly be more accurate than what JND have put on there as I've got very detailed measurements from several full size authentic capes. Would just need to see where the measurements need to be tweaked (if at all) to fit correctly into the JND tunic neck.A custom made cape with the proper darker red would elevate the piece to new heights for sure. Someone is bound to commission it, only tricky part would be to get the emblem on the back.
Is jim bowers review available to read/watch?Jim Bowers from Capedwonder.com took the JND photo on the left AND the photo of the original Reeve tunic on the right (now owned by Jay Towers). Jim said that the blue is fantastic but the red should be a little darker. (The yellow fabric had faded on the real costume, so is not useful for comparison purposes on the yellow colour).
Having seen the original costume fabric in person - plus seeing a couple of authentic costumes on display by Propstore, it IS surprising how dark the suits are when you see them in real life. I guess studio lighting etc really brightened them up a lot for what we see on screen vs how it looked in reality.
It's definitely correct for "hero" Supes instead of "evil" Supes from Superman 3.
