Who you call?.... Uniform History! :)
Did not think that someone would ever talk about this
Awesome man
Jesus. Back 20 years ago, I was there when a small contingent of us were identifying parts of the uniform and trying to find the right calculator board for the gizmo, among other parts. I remember when we were trying to find a different civvie flightsuit than those craptastic Rothco suits we were stuck with for years. After the Tru-Specs came out, we started calling the Rothco suits "piss yellow" because of how bad the dye job was on em. It's just hilarious watching this video and seeing all the crap we worked hard to ID over that time so easily lined up and presented.
I also would like to state that I now feel old...
I'll start with the "feeling old". I've been trooping since 1990. think about that. I was also friends with Norm Gagnon; this is the guy who named the parts of the proton pack and coined the phrase "ghostheads". We had packs with lights; ghost traps that opened and closed...with coaxial cables. Even a slime blower. we had flight suits; name badges; gloves;belts;boots...but you get the idea.
Today I am almost ready for Frozen Empire. Can't wear the suit/pack anymore...but I'm still trooping w/ as much OG gear as I can.
Not bad for 60.🙃
fun fact the tube is actually meant to keep you from visibly peeing yourself as stated by the crew themselves in the ultimate visual history book for the 30th anniversary the idea is that seeing ghosts and getting attacked by them causes you to pee yourself so that tube allows you to relieve yourself when scared without having the visible stain on your crotch region
A friend of mine worked on several movies making props and talked about how people go crazy trying to get the correct warning stickers and pieces when he was told “Get something and slap it on, make it look cool”
The Prop Replica Forum, or PRF, is for these exact people. It's insane, the level of attention people put into their work when recreating these things.
You gotta do the Belgian Jigsaw camo pattern.
+ the Zaire clone of jigsaw
@@zanekwame2740 you do know who zaire belonged to right?
@@supremebonkripper7460 yea
@@zanekwame2740 so the belgians invented it
@@supremebonkripper7460 yes do you not know what the word "clone" means? It's very very very obvious.
Love the channel, been binging ever since i found it. Would love to see an episode devoted Stargate SG1 and all the different uniforms, camos and gear they used for that show.
It’s still a ways away but it’s slowly being worked on.
@@UniformHistory Ouu, can't wait. Thanks for these great videos. It was always odd to me seeing the Canadian Elcan scope being used in the show until i found out it was filmed here.
I was thinking about the costumes of Ghostbuster while playing Phasmophobia last night.
And here we are freshly served video of the movie. Thanks a lot!!!
Needs more levels
Id love to see the ncr trooper uniform from fallout new vegas or the ranger one.
love all your vids
I finished my ghostbusters complete outfit about 60 days before this video was uploaded. Man it would have been nice to have all this info compressed into the video you have so thoughtfully made for fans.
Thank you for the hard work, the great info, and links to parts. I really appreciate it.
Egon actually does hang the neutrona wand from the right front fob on his belt. You can see it hanging there when he scans the hotel guest with the PKE meter.
I saw a video pop up that said it was by Uniform History.....I click
Excellent video
This is an awesome work 👏
Great video.
This is EXTREMELY helpful. All the parts and the dimensions of said parts, some tips on how to get them, all of it. You sir are a life saver
the color is described in the book called the ultimate visual history as a taup grey but virtually every fan calls the color beige
Perfect vid
Hell yeah thanks for the great video
Don't forget the wand! Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler’s Neutrona Wand Premium Collectible
Holy crap! A lot of work and/or money goes into a cosplay/ Halloween costume.
I knew they had a military pistol belt so i clicked instantly
Almost picked up a pasgt helmet so mad needed if for Halloween costume
This is super helpful. My son wants us to go out as ghostbusters on Halloween. I already have the patches and a jump suit. The little touches are nice to flesh it out. Thanks
Not even gonna lie I was waiting for this one
Yes more GB uniforms please 😁
Corcoran was owned by acme back then and built in stoughton Mass still. The boots in the Ghostbusters 1984 movie were built by Carolina owned by Cove shoe. They built jump boots,plain toe combat boots and the side zip combat boots with cap toe. Saw these in the 1970's through the early 80's as being promoted as made with elk leather. Yup elk leather because it was tougher than cowhide and spit shined better? Don't know it that was true? But I saw them advertised in the back of SOF magazine and Gung-ho magazine. Another company made an identical boot with a black rough out tongue and no padded insole called Hazen. I bought the Carolinas while in delayed entry in 83' had to keep putting Zoe's black leather dye on the zippers Lol.
After I ets'd in 88 I bought an identical set at a surplus store for police work.
Seems like a hundred years ago now but I stumbled into an original set years ago at a shoe store that was closing down. Still wear them today. Great boots for the price then.
Sorry had to put my in put in here because as far as this old paratrooper knows Corcoran(acme) never put out a zippered jump boot in the early 80's. That was a custom job if you wanted them.
Love the work you all do, Ive worn most of the uniforms you've went over for the U.S. Army/USMC. From pickle suits,erdl RDF, choc chips(Sinai) to jungles to woodland.
Cheers
FYI,
In the 70s and 80s Corcoran jump boots were expensive. And a lot of soldiers purchased H&H jump boots by cove shoe. They were called "the poor mans jump boots"! Hahaha
Cove did produce an H&H jump boot with a black zipper in the 80s also.
But the movie featured Carolina zipper boots
Cheers
We got one!
Haslab have got the PKE Meter and Ghost Trap available to back now (until 12th December, so if you want one, GET BACKING NOW!) called the "Two in a Box" combo.
Love to have seen them in the blue/black ones more.
Would be pretty sweet if we can get a Robocop Detroit PD uniforms of the screen
Yeah, that would be great. Another favorite movie of mine.
None of the remakes please
I know they’re not as iconic but I kinda wanna see breakdowns on uniforms that all the corporations in borderlands use
😎
Most likely a different paratrooper boot. Many did have zippers back then. The Cocoran boot have 12 eyelets. GB movie boots are 11 eylelets. Carolina boots are 11 eyelets and have side zippers. Also the soles are flat.
Great job you should go over the uniform in war for the papers of the apes it’s so unique to the movie.
There is soon much detail put into this, I don't think this video could of been done any better
I know I'm splitting hairs but the "U" ring on the belt clips is infact a "D" ring
Definitely Belgian jigsaw next
Another informative and awesome video! But when are you going to get around to finishing up the major American Patterns with WWII Frogskin? Certainly there are so many patterns, items, uniforms of interest in history but I mean it just seems to make sense to do one you've already alluded to before, the first real mass produced American pattern.
We used to have the same PASS device when I started at the fire department.
I had wondered since 1989 what that yellow gizmo on the Ghostbusters pistol belts in Ghostbusters II was. Thanks to the Ghostbusters fan community I found out. Lots of fans have used them in their cosplay and several fans even 3D print and sell replicas as well if you're on a budget like I am. Finally got a complete uniform to go with my Spirit Halloween Proton Pack last year. Pack just needs a few changes, and it is good to go.
I think you should do British DPM
It would be cool if he did a Kerberos panzer cop video
Beware with those vintage boots! The rubber/foam soles are prone rotting and crumbling even with proper care due to age. I found out the hard way.
Those were Carolina zipper boots sold through the 70s and into the 90s. You can still find them on ebay and Facebook mkt place for decent $ the soles wont crack. I still own an 80s pair that I wear a lot. Picked them up 15 years ago when a shoe store closed and they brought out the goodies from the basement. Remarkably great shape. The 70s-80s and early 90s versions still had a thick leather mid sole which was dropped in favor of just the neoprene outsold maxitred and more internal cushioning.
Cheers
Please do the SWAT 4 police and terrorist uniforms, I bet they’re not complicated and would be very nice to know all the details for a future cosplay.
You could make a video about the bulgarian splinter camouflage
Can you do one on KLR uniforms?
You should do the Finnish M05
Please do the uniforms of the UNSC Marines/Army
please make videos about,
1. Gurlukovich Mercenaries from Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty, primarily the brown variant one.
2. Every uniforms from The Man in the High Castle series.
I am happy with the basic proton pack due to not having the skills to upgrade it
Would you ever think about doing a video over the Aircrew Combat uniform cut?
Can you do one on the NAVY SEALS gear in tears of the sun with BRUCE Willis and the other guy tactical MOHAWK???
Do you think you can do a video on the Halo marine uniform?
When are we gonna get a video of you covering the uniforms of Metal Gear Solid?
Do Travis Bickle next please!
I put together a really accurate Bickle costume nine years ago. Most of the stuff is pretty easy to come by, but it took me a while to find the right belt buckle.
Can you do an episode covering Doom's equipment?
Just by accident I picked out a surplus suit that had all the pockets in all the correct places, but has no catheter.
This is a GB cosplayer's reference video.
To celebrate 10 years of FNV could we get a video on the uniforms of the NCR?
Best Uniform ep yet lol. Clever. #jakehunter88
The PASS device
Do some old school and less developed, something the common person got a hold of in colonial french territories such as the Goumiers
I thought I read somewhere the boots were Carolina Side Zip Jump Boots. These differ from Corcoran boots in the toe cap, Carolina boots don't have the row of holes between the stitching.
Semantics I guess and the difference is minute....
They were Carolinas owned by cove shoe. Corcoran was owned by acme boot and still built in the original factory stoughton mass. They never produced a zipper paratrooper boot back then. Just an old paratroopers 2 cents
@@starioskal Corcorans or nothing I reckon! Best boots made until the quality started to slip recently...
@@johnsteele2986 yes sir.....
My original pair my older brother bought me after graduating airborne school in 84. Had them resoled 3 times and wore them until 2007 when the leather finally gave way and upper stitching failed hahaha.
The Carolina zipper boots were comfy and shined up nice. Great second pair for my former law enforcement job years ago. Cheers...
Airborne all the Way!
@@johnsteele2986 Corcoran quality slipped when Cove shoe out of martinsburg Pennsylvania bought out acme boot which owned the Corcoran name brand in the late 1990s. They shut down the original WW2 plant in stoughton mass and transferred to martinsburg. Home of the poor mans jump boot H&H jump boots haha.
Sad ....
@@starioskal sad indeed! HH always did look pretty crappy!
At 5:39, are those South Vietnamese Air Force (RVNAF) pilots?
Peacekeepers from hunger games if possible?
Hey kids! Got a love for military/equipment heavy loadouts? Tired of buying crappy non-detailed said loadouts as costumes from party city? Do you need to know how to make them? Who are you gonna call? Uniform History!
Can you do a judge dredd one?
Dredd 2012 is planned for the future.
@@UniformHistory Awesome! Can't wait!
errrr Forgot all about 06 remake.
For the next uniform of the screen, maybe do a SCP MTF?
Hey guys carhartt came out with some dope duck camo jackets : ua-cam.com/video/qj3pKqeBzEI/v-deo.html
FWIW, Seiko is pronounced SAY-KOH, not SY-KOH
We do not talk about that awful 2016 “remake”
they made a remake?
You are wrong about belt color. They were khaki no gray
Only comunists and canadians don't seen rate Halloween. Let's face it neather of those groups are human!
first like g
no
Lol

RUSSIA Army 2014 Uniform🇷🇺
What about Extreme Ghostbusters Cosplay?
Asked Nobody
Way too much information.
If you're thinking of building a proton pack buy a 3D printer save yourself some money learn a new skill jump down the rabbit hole have fun
That is not an "u-shaped ring", it's a D-Ring. D'uh!
(that's actually a real thing, they talk about it all the time with Lightsaber replicas as it's used to hang them off belts too.
