First, The Mercury Men will be re-released on Thursday, February 9th with director's notes, deleted scenes, outtakes, and visual FX breakdowns!  It's all the special features you love in a DVD, but you get to watch them online for free.  "Director's notes" are small behind-the-scenes text pop-ups that will appear while you watch the episode, sharing a lot of information about the series and how it was made (example image above).

Second, The Mercury Men picked-up three awards at the inaugural IAWTV Awards in Las Vegas last week!  The awards were: Best Director (Chris Preksta), Best Visual FX, and Best Supplemental Content (Digital Props)!  Thank you to the Academy of Web Television, to all you incredible fans and viewers, and congratulations to the entire cast and crew of The Mercury Men!

JACK YAEGER COSTUME

We get asked about Jack's costume...alot.  So here's a guide to help you find the pieces you need to become the daring hero himself!

(NOTE: Any links provided are only for your reference, and are not necessarily where we purchased the item.  Mercury Men Pictures does not endorse any retailer.  Please shop around for the best prices and research trustworthy online retailers.)

LEATHER JACKET - Brown Buffalo Leather Motorcycle Jacket
This jacket can be found on several retailers websites, including: eBay, Biker's Den

BELT POUCHES - WWII Mauser Ammo Pouches
These can be found pretty easily on eBay.

AVIATOR HELMET - Naval Aviator Helmet w/ Ear Cups
The site where Jack's helmet was originally purchased (Garcia Aviation) is out of stock, so you're best bet is searching eBay. A real WWII aviator helmet costs over $100, but you should be able to find a costume version for much cheaper.

GOGGLES - British Chrome VIII Flying Goggles
You can find these on eBay or at Garcia Aviation

PANTS - Khaki Pants
The easiest part of the costume to find :)

BOOTS - Black Costume Boots
The boots are officially called "Funtasma Captain 100" and a basic Google search turned up several retailers, including ShowBuy.com.  Any tall black costume boots will work though.

BELT/HOLSTER - Custom Made
Jack's brown leather belt and holster were custom made by our costume designer, so unfortunately we can't provide you any links to purchase one.  If you'd like to buy or make a SIMILAR belt/holster, you can always do a Google search for Han Solo's :)

Happy costume making!  And make sure to send us YOUR Jack Yaeger costume photos and we'll share them here on the blog!
