The colour looks "spot on" to me, although i think the actual jacket is a too thin material.

I was thinking of replicating the RIFFS logo seen on the wall, on the back of the display. Also, I have a screen shot of little Mikey in clown mask ( from Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN) in the display of the replica mask, so might add to this too.

Yes, the brand is TINTEX. I used RED RED and BRIGHT YELLOW and mixed the ORANGE I thought looked right. I did two dye periods, moving the garment around every 15 minutes, to even coat. They make a MAROON that might work well for the TAN under the piping. It wold be getting the color correct, but mixing was not difficult.
