The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Out of curiosity, if a company like Musterbrand or similar were looking into Alien Universe inspired apparel, anything you guys might like to see? Ideas? Suggestions?

I kinda dig the idea of a Nostromo crew jacket, maybe a backpack like this:

Inspired... not so much. Not unless it was close to being a good replica, even if it is missing some detailing.
So for a Nostromo jacket, missing the laces but of a similar style and colour with all the right patches on, for example.

I'd want them to avoid just taking any old picture/text and slapping it on a generic product, because I can get someone to do that (or even do it myself) for far less money on Etsy, Redbubble or any number of websites with such facilities that already exist.
Making something in green & black with a couple of related badges/stickers on isn't worth my attention.

If they want my money, they need to make me something that looks like it walked off the set, was an unused prop, or at least belongs in that universe.

A flight or bomber jacket with various patches would be cool. I did one years ago that has a big Bug Stomper patch on the back. A better version might be one with the same artwork but painted on and then weathered...like the classic bomber jackets.

'Parker' in Alien wore a bomber jacket that had the Nostromo shoulder patches, yellow Nostromo wording on the back. Could use that style of bomber jacket for Alien, then use it again for the Aliens Bug Stomper idea.

Yeah, the kit in Alien and Aliens is vintage, something a lot of clothing companies aren't interested in replicating. On the other hand, Alien Covenant is using totally modern kit so the patches from that film would look right at home on that back pack. ;)

That one is cool, but the skull is way off, and the bag itself is pretty plain looking. I like pockets and functionality.
