Understood. It would appear that if the guy were to wear a size that "fits", the shoulder seams might still be a bit "off" cause it's an older jacket style, but nowhere that low / extreme as they are in the photos. It appears he is wearing three times what he should be wearing. But in terms of...
Awesomely explained.
Two more pictures of the original sleeve, although it's dark...
And this is that sleeve from my own jacket posted on page 6:
So basically in my jacket the button cuff (which I'm perfectly fine with) has "two options" in terms of tightness. I know it's a stupid...
OK, so... in terms of the very first measurement, the length from top to bottom, I am pretty sure I can use the length of one or two of the jackets I already own, which would be these two:
I think the length is pretty much like in the original. The actor is 183 cm tall. I am 184 cm...
If someone is able to address what I posted on page 6, post #111 (https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/can-someone-please-help-me-find-this-type-of-leather-jacket.106274/page-6#post-2878568) I would appreciate it, regarding the terminology. I also posted a photo of the sleeve of a jacket I...
I cannot access this website through my regular IP address anymore. Has my IP address been banned? I need to know this. I am only able to post now because I'm using my phone's other internet connection instead of my regular WiFi. I have no idea what's going on.
Thank you for your concern. However, with due respect, that would be my problem, no? :)
If it doesn't "end well", it will be solely my personal issue to deal with. I won't come on here to whine about it either. And I don't mind spending money on several replicas, if needed. I wanted to take...
OK so I've received confirmation that Five Star Leathers is going to do it. The price is more than reasonable as well. Now the biggest challenge for me personally is getting the measurements and all important details together, and finding the best way to present them. This will take lots of work...
Thanks for the tips. I really think they did a tremendous job here: https://www.facebook.com/fivestarleathershop/photos/pcb.837007897174798/837007857174802
Even though that's an Indy replica, it shares plenty of similarities, hence it could be used as a starting point and then expanding on it...
The episode you're referring to - one of my favorite "comedy" episodes of the show - is in season seven, titled "Je Souhaite". It was written by Vince Gilligan, creator of "Breaking Bad", who worked on The X-Files and wrote some amazing episodes. The X-Files in and of itself is a combination of...
Nice job. I just looked it up, yeah that's the zig-zag thing. Totally uncommon if not unheard of for these types of jackets though (the one I'm looking for), which is odd.
Thank you. English is my third language which is why I need to learn the right terminology regarding these details when...
No, no, no, please. Now I feel bad, seriously. I did not take any offense, it was just a misunderstanding in terms of what one's priorities might be, whether it's purely fashion, or purely replicating something, or a combination of both. There is absolutely no reason for you to apologize, so...
WOW.... very close indeed. The upper pockets ruin it unfortunately, and the color is off. But aside from that, this is really going toward that direction of the original. It has the "parka style" (?) closing along with the zipper beneath. And especially the sleeve endings (cuffs?) resemble the...
Major Update: Five Star Leathers has replied to me this morning via E-Mail. They are interested and say it is not a big problem getting this made. :) They need specific measurements and more details as to what is very important to me. Additional photos would help, which in that case I can only...
To the previous two posters above...
It's almost 5AM here and I'm typing from my phone in bed about to sleep lol, and I hate writings lots of text on the phone... but regarding what you wrote/suggested: Please take a look at page 3, post #51 in this thread. I posted some of the jackets I own...
"Five Star Leather"? I just sent an e-mail to them a couple of minutes ago. Hoping they'll reply in the coming days. I also saw some fantastic custom made stuff on their Facebook page, if that's the company we are talking about.
I also did some more searching, and the original really does seem like a combination of the following (all of the below), with some additional, unique design/details added:

I'd really love it to be as screen accurate as possible, so if the original appears to be around 1.6mm, I'd really go for it. :)
Was it you who had suggested South Asian creators? If so, could you please tell me how to contact them? If not here in the thread, feel free to private message me...
