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!

This is the Frost Set from the Propstore Auction.
Does this look to be Olive colored thread for the stitching?

Well I'll be damned. If not olive, definitely some type of green. Very likely the same thread used on the webbing.

The PropStore auction was augmented with modern elements (the webbing and belts were from Matt Noble I believe), so I don't know that I would trust these sewn parts to be original.

The glue under the trim does look very old.

Yep, I have supplied several bits to augment some screen used auctions recently.

The leg flaps, ab pads, and neck binding are all made from the same material.

I can personally confirm this after review screen used kits.

Neck binding is adhered with contact cement.

But, the above neck seal appears to be original, and is not your replacement... is that correct?

While on the subject...

All right, what's all this, then?!
Perforated holes around the neckline?

Those are originals. You can tell by the inside which is not stitched or folded.

Mine is folded/stitched on both sides.


Maybe they were trying to thread the binding through the aluminum....
