    Overalls, where can I find them?

    I need some overalls for a standard 8" body, I've looked in several on-line stores but found nothing.

      Action Jackson only comes with some tan nylon ones in the fishing outfit set.

      For denim overalls, look for a loose Johnboy Walton.

        Maybe the american definition of overalls is different to that in the UK.

        this is closer to the fisherman outfit

          In North America, the first one is called a jumpsuit or coveralls and the second is a pair of overalls.

            Any reproduction stuff? I'd hate to use vintage clothing on a custom...that just wouldn't seem right, you know?

              I did that...

              I had that same idea in my head when I started (recently) but got over it real quick. I got some nice vintage clothing from the above-and-beyond Man of Action and I mix whatever I need now to get the job done.
              It's just for me and my son, after all.

                Many of the customs you will see here feature vintage clothing, reproduction clothing, hand-sewn clothing or a mixture of the three. You are not committing Mego blasphemy by using vintage clothing on a custom figure...at least not in my opinion.

                Find a loose, incomplete John-boy Walton on eBay (or here) that at least has his overalls and use them.

                Or...break out the needle and thread and try your hand at making pair. You might be surprised at what you can do!
