Sorry for the blurry pictures.

Pants are 13cm wide, 14cm tall which includes a 2cm turned up hem at the bottom of each leg,
and each leg is 7cm wide.Contrary to some rumors, Igel have not used this mold for their swedish Chef and this was not the first Swedish chef doll made.The first was a bendy in the UK.

hi Muppetperson,

Thanks for the pics and the detailed measurements!
I bought on without pants and apron!
Is it also posibble to tell me the size off the pant's checks (block to block) and mayby wich fabrik it was made off? cotton,polyester,etc...
Can you also tell me the fabrik ,the apron was made off ( mayby the size also)...
I do want to restore it properly and i will try to find the right fabriks needed to reproduce the pants and apron!
Iff you want i will sent some pics off my Muppet collection,
only need an e-mail to sent to, because i'm not seem to be able to get photo's on the forum!
Really thanks for the good description you gave allready !
Regards,Hemi

The red checks on his pants are 2x2 cm square.The pants are a thick polyester.The apron is a thin cotton and measures 15cm across by 10cm high.It has one strap that goes around his neck and meets at 2 places on the front.The strap is 1cm wide and aprox 8cm long.the first strap end is 5cm in from the left and then there is a space of 4cm in between each strap.Then there is straps on each top corner that runs behind him and ties in a bow.I dont want to undo it to measure it, but each strap would have to be at least 14cm long.Then somehow you would have to put "THE SWEDISH CHEF TM" on his apron, either drawing it on in red, or drawing it on white paper and take it to a copy shop and get them to transfer it to a transfer and iron it on.Good luck.

hi Muppetperson,

YOU ARE WONDERFULL !
Could you also tell me iff the pants polyester fabric has a matt ,medium gloss,or heavy gloss look?
Just need to be sure...
I will take the aprons fabric to a specialised shop and they will print the text (i hope)
I have one good/clear photo from the apron's text that i can use, so this should be no problem!
Can you also let me know iff you got some boxed Bendy Muppets for sale?
Its pretty difficult to find those overhere in Belgium!

Hi Hemi,
The colour is matt.The thickness and material of the shirt is the same as the pants.
sorry, I dont have any spare boxed Bendys.I only have loose ones of swedish Chef,Gonzo, and Kermit for myself.It is very hard to find the Bendys now at all, let alone boxed, due to that they discintergrate.Keep looking on ebay.

Hi,MP

Really,really thanks,
Thanks to your descriptions:
I have bought a matching fabrik on ebay UK, aldo its cotton not polyester ,it has the right size red/white checkered squares,and is not glossy from look
All polyester fabrics i found had a glossy look or where flag/banner fabrics,most off the time with wrong size squares
I will see when its arrived iff its decent enough to do the job!
Otherwise i will look ,overhere in Antwerp,Belgium.
I will let you know how it proceeds...
Abouth the Bendy Muppets;
I have only one MIB Bendy miss Piggy,With Ball dress...
Also got all the Bendy Fraggles MIB:Red,Matt,Gobo and one mint unboxed Bendy Doozer.
Sometimes you can find them but most off time well priced when boxed!
Iff you dont care there not boxed;
I know a Bendy fozzy and rowlf for sale in the UK,with minor damage (far as i can see on the photos) and decent priced also...
