Only online a few months, the concept of the site is better than the actual content at the moment (is there anybody really interested that the jacket Jennifer Lopez was wearing in Angel Eyes was a Kale Uniform replica Police Department Jacket?), but research is underway on identifying some particularly interesting jackets. Here's some of my all time favourites which they're currently trying to source :
Carlito's black leather from Carlito's Way :
Snake's beat-up brown leather from Escape From N.Y
Rocky's leather from Rocky 1 :
Ferris's jacket from Ferris Bueller's Day Off :
Bob The Goon's Joker jacket from Batman :
Typically, there's neither hide nor hair of other favourites of mine. Here's the ones I'd personally love them to identify :
Forest's tassled suede Alaskan jacket from On Deadly Ground :
Jef's trenchcoat from Le Samourai :
Anyhoo, Filmjackets.com also has a small TV jackets section to their site where their sartorial detective work has revealed that Jack Bauer has a penchant for both CP Company plus Ralph. And there was me thinking Jack shopped exclusively at the American equivalent of Matalan.
Kurt Russell in The Thing, FTW (did I just say FTW? urrrrrrrrrugh)
ReplyDeleteAlso dope:
Naomi Watts (Eastern Promises) and Stallone (Rocky).
My all-time favourite film jacket is Eddie Murphy's number from Beverly Hills Cop 2. I insisted my parents bought me a similar style jacket from C and A, although mine had luminous childrens logos instead of saying Detroit Lions.
ReplyDeleteDe Niro's brown jacket in Taxi Driver comes close though.
You can get replicas of both De Niro's jackets from Taxi Driver and various other shirts and tees from the Travis Bickle wardrobe :

visvim did an m-65 based on de niro's taxi driver jacket called the 'bickle' too.
ReplyDeleteShit I actually want a pair of boots like that as well.
ReplyDeletewow......
ReplyDeleteI have wanted the jokers goon jacket since I was a little kid. This is incredible.
The Le Samourai jacket is just a standard long collared raincoat, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that you could rock as well as Delon rocks it.
ReplyDeleteThis might be a start though.
