Season 2 Aloha shirts?

Re: Season 2 Aloha shirts?
Thanks in no small part to the new show there is interest in Magnum again and some of the older shirts are being reissued . Looking forward to seeing what you have planed if I can help you find any of them I would be happy to do .
Now should be the best time to find the shirts from the new show but I think some of them are already out of print . The wardrobe department could have bought them last year and we are just now getting to see them . I don’t know if you have seen I have been trying to post pics of each shirt under the episode thread they appeared in .

You've been doing an impressive and laudable job - I think the modern archaeology of digging up the original suppliers is rewarding and fun.Laohu wrote:Thanks in no small part to the new show there is interest in Magnum again and some of the older shirts are being reissued .

We should start our own wardrobe catalog thread in episode order...

Will have to give it some thought and compile the info I already have for now...Laohu wrote:Sounds like a fun challenge how would you like to proceed ?LZeitgeist wrote:You've been doing an impressive and laudable job - I think the modern archaeology of digging up the original suppliers is rewarding and fun.Laohu wrote:Thanks in no small part to the new show there is interest in Magnum again and some of the older shirts are being reissued .

Just keep it open so that over time, others can add infos and you can edit then your initial post.
Usually now and then someone comes up with a new discovery and it would be great having it all compiled in one post.

Short article with the costume designer .
I am 99% sure this is the tigers hat that they use in the show .

They might not always use the same hat it is hard to tell as we don’t see the back of it often .

Re: Season 2 Aloha shirts?
I would like it to be in some sort of chronological order or something - since each episode already has a thread devoted to it, I'm thinking that a post could just be added with the correct information and each post be in a certain format for clarity and editability if new info is discovered.Bondtoys.de wrote:Just keep it open so that over time, others can add infos and you can edit then your initial post.

That could end like the Pahonu thread with many many pages and it will be difficult to find the info that you are really looking for

Re: Season 2 Aloha shirts?
Some shirts have been used in more then one episode and a few have been used in both versions .
It might be easier to do a format that has a picture of the shirt. The actor or actors warning the shirt then list what episode(s) it appears in . Add a link to buy and any information we find about it .
I almost think we need two threads to make this work . In thread one which I will call the working thread we can post the pictures and info as we find it . In thread 2 we would format it and list each shirt in order that it appears . I think by using two threads the finished product would be much cleaner . Any thoughts on any of this ?

Re: Season 2 Aloha shirts?
Either I misunderstand you or vice-versa - it would be adding a single post with a pic of the shirt and the source info to each existing episode thread.Bondtoys.de wrote:LZeitgeist wrote:I would like it to be in some sort of chronological order or something - since each episode already has a thread devoted to it, I'm thinking that a post could just be added with the correct information and each post be in a certain format for clarity and editability if new info is discovered.Bondtoys.de wrote:Just keep it open so that over time, others can add infos and you can edit then your initial post.

Re: Season 2 Aloha shirts?
We can do either way you like . It was suggested to me when I started posting to the individual threads that I should post each picture here so it would all be in one place . I can see the logic in both ways but at the end of the day I would like the project to be useable to the board as a whole . I think it is easier to keep track of it if we post in the episode threads for the reboot because they use a shirt once and they never seem to use it again .If you feel that is what would work best for the 80’s version to then let’s go with that then .
I am good with either way .
