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”

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.

Excellent video

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

Holy crap! A lot of work and/or money goes into a cosplay/ Halloween costume.

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

Yes more GB uniforms please 😁

None of the remakes please

Love to have seen them in the blue/black ones more.

We got one!

Not even gonna lie I was waiting for this one

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

I know they’re not as iconic but I kinda wanna see breakdowns on uniforms that all the corporations in borderlands use

Can you PLEASE do Van Pelt from the original Jumanji? That was one of the most interesting uniforms I've ever seen. Especially his older rifle.

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.

Can you do one on KLR uniforms?

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.

I know I'm splitting hairs but the "U" ring on the belt clips is infact a "D" ring

When are we gonna get a video of you covering the uniforms of Metal Gear Solid?

Would you ever think about doing a video over the Aircrew Combat uniform cut?

You should do the Finnish M05

Do you think you can do a video on the Halo marine uniform?

Great job you should go over the uniform in war for the papers of the apes it’s so unique to the movie.

You could make a video about the bulgarian splinter camouflage

Definitely Belgian jigsaw next

I think you should do British DPM

Please do the uniforms of the UNSC Marines/Army

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.

There is soon much detail put into this, I don't think this video could of been done any better

😎

Can you do an episode covering Doom's equipment?

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.

Can you do one on the NAVY SEALS gear in tears of the sun with BRUCE Willis and the other guy tactical MOHAWK???

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.

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

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 am happy with the basic proton pack due to not having the skills to upgrade it
