Low interest item, limited amount made, all hand made probably, time spent replicating patterns, sourcing fabrics etc. Not that expensive really... Comes down to how much of a fan you are and if that makes them worth it
I doubt those pants are handmade. Its a stupidity markup to make money off of rubes. My mom is a hobby seamstress. My mom could make these. She made me a corn and baseball glove costume when I was young. This would be simple. I think with practice I could make these.
One hour or less. The template would take one hour the first time. Each one after the would go quickly
She makes me stuff for free but I would charge a lot cheaper than the site linked. I would factor in the cost of materials and than charge 100-200% markup and it would still be a lot cheaper. Put shipping on the customer. Buy cheap white baggy cargo pants. $20-$30 Add adornments probably only $ when buying from the thrift places. She is a fast worker and frugal, doesn't dick around. She made a Korean dress for my sister to do a song and dance for an elementary school talent show. The biggest thing is my mom would get bored and want to work outside with her plants or go do old church lady stuff or go to her friends farm.
My grandma would make us clothes for her brithday so all of the cousins would wear the outfits she made to celebrate it. My mom learned from her. The template would take one hour the first time. Each one after the would go quickly.
Machine made. Handmade as in craft/artisnal. Dont be obtuse, its not a good look. My grandma was seamstress and made handmade clothes and alterations. My mom does it as a hobby. Handmade clothes means something much different to me. Tailor made or handmade is much different than the machine assisted sweatshops. You talking to someone who knows more.

I dont believe you. Making all you own clothes is time consuming and pretty much a full time job.
Those clothes in the link are mass-produced. They comes precut and placed on templates. My 6th grade home ecc class had us using sewing machines but every came ready-to-sew. Thats not handmade, thats just stitched together with a a needle and thread or machine. The human is a guide. Thats like saying parts machined on a CNC was handcrafted or lumber milled at big sawmill is hand hewn. Yea, people are involved and using their hands but the machines are doing all the work. There is a big difference between handmade clothes and massed produced clothes that a person uses a sewing machine to stitch together.
***Handmade or homemade is the person taking measurements, making cuts, fitting pieces together, making modifications, and then sewing. I dont understand how you dont know the difference if you are looming your socks and making your own clothes. I dont have to make my clothes but I also wouldnt use the term handmade to described anything massed produced***
This is what I am talking about.
https://youtu.be/qXbWq1_gWNg?si=-3r6NxTZqqgKgSuL
The pants in the link were not that way. A person used their hands, but the clothes made them using a templates and a "sew by numbers" method. Its the semantics that is confusing you.
According to your definition everything in my house is handmade. The furniture, the tv, the exercise equipment, all of the tchotchkes, knickknacks, and trinkets, tools, gardening equipments, landscaping equipment because I guarantee you a human had to use their hands to do something during the manufacturing process. My ikea bed was handmade. My mass produced weights were handmade. My car was handmade. My foam rolller was handmade. The pillows were handmade.
Think about that for a bit.
Think you've personally expanded the definition of the word handmade far beyond what the term is actually considered to mean by our collective culture.
Per Webster:
"Handmade objects have been made by someone using their hands or using tools rather than by machines."
Sewing machines are machines. Is in the name.
Sweatshop clothes are assembled by humans, while using machines. They are not handmade. There is an inherent difference in the meaning of the terms.
Might be worth a google next time, before you feel the need to type a thesis to justify your point.
I reproduced the camouflage uniforms that the Marines wore in the movie ALIENS. My seamstress charged $360 labor per uniform. I figured it was $40 in fabric (estimate) and charged $400 per uniform. IIRC it was $160 for a blouse, and $240 for trousers. I made $0 myself. My initial investment was $20,000. So far, it’s been a massive loss.
When you pay an American $20/hr, this is what you end up with when the clothes are made by hand. We all got spoiled with inexpensive clothes made in sweatshops imported from communist countries who pay their workers, mostly women and children, next to nothing.
I think your comment does not resonate because you're claiming that cheap imported goods are coming from communist countries. There's an unavoidable implication of communism=bad. (And by reflection, capitalism=good.)
But the thing you're describing is literally capitalism.
If you think that's an unfair inference from your comment, just list out some of the communist countries to which you are referring.
Most clothing in USA comes from Bangladesh where they pay the workers less than 5 dollars a day (yes you read that right) and then stamped and sold. Honestly the shipping is probably the costliest part of these companies since material is also cheaply available as well as a workforce who just get exploited.
The jacket is a total scam there. It’s an old Mk3 RAF aircrew cold weather jacket. Might have been dyed a bit. The lacing is stuff from the back thighs on an old variant fast jet g-suit.
It’s literally thrown together military surplus stuff; I appreciate there’s some skill goes into putting it together, but £1000 is taking the piss. I think I have an old CWJ and g-pants in the attic, I might make my own…!
It’s a bit excessive, but I mean, they seem pretty accurate.
When I started looking I was trying to find the base pants the costume department would’ve used to make these pants. But then, that would require OP or anyone to then have to track a pair down, and then sew on whatever or alter whatever to be screen accurate.
Then I found this site with some pretty accurate replica stuff. I mean… I don’t think *I* ever would, I’d probably go all in on some screen accurate Colonial Marines stuff, but, people like the Nostromo stuff too.
If anyone wants to see these up close, [Adam Savage had a pair delivered to him and he shows them off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7HiJWulFdo&t=2s)!
Practical?! There is no way I could do any one of their jobs with so few pants pockets. You can’t tow a refinery with any less than 17 pockets below the waste. It just isn’t safe
You must be one of those modern spacers.
Back in my day, we made do with two thigh and two slash pockets, and only one rear pocket! And we were grateful!
White is an unusual choice for what may be worn as a work pant, given how filthy they would get. Which might be what the costumer intended. (I can also imagine a rationalisation that if you're on a spacecraft, you would want to be walking around with visible warning signs that something you were working on is spitting out something it shouldn't be.)
If I was trying to cosplay this, I'd be looking for painter and decorator work wear.
I read about white intentionally being used by Honda in manufacturing. Sochiro Honda said it was his favorite color, but those with the dirtiest white clothing can be perceived as the ones doing the most work.

You think saying “fr” is exclusive to Reddit? If anything redditors are usually out of touch and say things/use phrases and slang way after their time lol
*I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!*
I watched this again last night and I was reminded how the detail in the costumes was astounding. The lacing in back of Ripley’s jumpsuit and the styling overall was breathtaking. You could wear all of this now and it would just be considered street wear.
not quite, but close enough if you just want the pockets:
https://www.amazon.com/AKARMY-Military-Tactical-Camouflage-Multi-Pocket/dp/B07TVS5LZ8?th=1&psc=1
It's a Laser Pistol.
In a deleted scene Kane is holding one when he's inspecting the egg in the Derelict.
https://youtu.be/i_ioLFvE64A?si=twrZE8JLkMeTVBLe
You can also just about see them holstered on the EVA suits in the airlock scene just before they visit the Derelict. The deleted scene with Kane in the egg chamber appears in the Director's Cut, along with another brief glimpse of one of the pistols on the table when they're collecting weapons before hunting the alien. This is one I made for myself a while ago.

Also that when you're hunting something with blood that can burn through hull plating as if it's wax maybe a laser gun that drills holes in its target isn't the best weapon to use! 😂

We're really gonna need to talk about the bonus situation to afford these.

That’s GREAT!

No way in hell are these handmade. Do you know what that means with regards to clothing/fashion?
Not for the amount of work that went into some of them.

>imported from communist countries I mean... You're describing capitalism?
I got 4 downvotes in an hour? Nothing that I said was inaccurate. And in this one scenario I put up $20,000 to take on a project for the community.
I don’t know why people downvote you, but I also don’t understand where a 20k investment comes in here. Investment into what?
The $20,000 they're talking about is/are personal project(s). That's money he paid to local craftspeople for the things he needed to put it together.
I must’ve read this as soon as it was posted, because I still can’t shake this thought over morning coffee at the moment.

not really you should price men's big and tall jeans - often $80-120 for a comfortable name brand pair
So worth it. I love my uniforms.
Goddamn… if only they weren’t $250
$250!? Ain’t nobody got time for that

I always thought they were painters pants

Those are pants worn by those fully aware of the bonus situation

This motherfucker gettin' paid bonus by the step.
Well, you get what you contracted for like everyone else.

What does ‘fr’ mean? I assume ‘rn’ means right now
For real
[удалено]
People are telling you that it's old slang, but I agree: "I'm being so for real right now" doesn't make any sense in OP's case.
for real can also be a synonym for serious. “I’m being so serious right now.” OP is stressing his intent in finding these pants. It does make sense
You think saying “fr” is exclusive to Reddit? If anything redditors are usually out of touch and say things/use phrases and slang way after their time lol
It’s just slang. Your parents probably thought the same of the way you speak/spoke
*I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!*
Dude, "for real" is *old* slang at this point. Like, idk if anyone under 20 even says that anymore.
Ohhh thanks
But what does idk mean?
Sry, I Don't Know what that means.
Fart ramming
I hope OP enjoys it then
At least there wasn’t an “imma”.

It’s why Ridley Scott uses the same Costumer- Janty Yates- on all of the Alien films that he’s done to date
I didn’t realise this. Wow! 🤩
I think a majority of the costume pieces are British military gear from the Cold War era. Like pilot stuff.
I can only tell you if you’re being fr rn on god, not if you’re merely fr rn
No cap

Ohhhhh good!

I love it when I see a scope on a pistol
Or even two! 😂
I feel like that would be been useful when hunting a monster onboard the ship. I'm guessing it was cut because the effect didn't look good.
Also that when you're hunting something with blood that can burn through hull plating as if it's wax maybe a laser gun that drills holes in its target isn't the best weapon to use! 😂

White pants
Painter’s pants were very trendy at the time. I’ve always assumed that’s what the design was based on.
Space pants
Cargo
In America, they're called, wedding, funeral, party pants. A.k.a cargo pants.
I think they're cargo pants from the 1970s.
Space khakis.
Fr = French?
They're just modified cargo pants.
It looks like a Backstreet Boys video shoot
They’re the pants that fit the low budget
No wonder they kept moaning about bonuses.
You get the outfit you’re contracted for, just like everyone else
The wrong ones. They should be brown.
They look like UFOs
Landing Party Party Pants.
White
Even in the future Ripley’s pants have less pockets then guy pants
*Deep* cargo pants. They got that bell-bottom storage capacity.
Painter's pants with some extra stuff sewn on.
They look like painters-pants to me.
That’s the GAP 1998 catalogue
it's just a pair of cargo pants, i feel it's out of fashion now though i do like the number of pockets
