Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

I was already looking for a similar jacket. But I couldn't find an answer.

That looks like a combination of these two maybe:

... or maybe not.

If you can't find it, get the most similar one that pleases you, or get it custom made. There are no other options, as you can see from this thread right here.

I'm pretty sure plenty of people are looking at this thread with this facial expression...

Probably more like this . . .

By the way. Regarding the large size of the jacket in the movie. I am absolutely sure that this is the same leather as on my jacket. These jackets stretch very much over several years of wearing. The new jacket looked like slender armor. These jackets had a detachable quilted lining. And the weight of such a jacket is exactly more than five kilograms.
Again. All images show a very old (at least 5 years old) jacket. This is 2-3 sizes larger than when it was new.

Another idea is for you to basically design the jacket. If you know somebody that has experience with fashion sketching or drawing and can help you create the pattern, it would go a long way to getting your dream jacket made by 5* leather. I think the consensus is that they do a superb job when they have a pattern to sew.

Good luck and definitely post the results here. I think there are a lot of people (me included) that are itching to see the result!!!

Hmm. AFAIK it is lamb skin, which is very soft, that can stretch very easily. And leathers like cowhide or steerhide do not really lose their shape that much. Someone correct me if I'm wrong? I find it hard to believe that a jacket can "grow" two to three sizes larger after five years, even if it's lamb.

You've skipped most of the thread - and understandably so, since it's quite long - but I've already agreed on having it custom made, by Five* Leather. But it will take a while for me to get measurements I want including detailed descriptions of details important to me, along with a drawing if possible. I don't want to rush this.

Oh no, I didn't skip a single bit of this thread !!! Very interesting...

What I meant to say is that if you give 5* fashion drawings with your measurements it will go a long way to avoid misunderstandings. From the experience of other forum members, the more information you provide to them, the better the results. There is an art to creating these sketches! It can only help.

I totally understand you. Exact measurements and pointing out the important details ("priorities") is the key here. They have also agreed, since this is an unusual jacket, that they send me a sort of prototype first, out of cheap fabric, something that can I wear only to see if further adjustments need to be made. Someone on this forum actually suggested this, and Five* agreed to it and thought it was a good idea.

I messed with the brightness and contrast a bit, and in the darker images it might be useful...

Dammit...

Lol. It's still quite good looking though.

And a very close one... although the leather itself seems not that fantastic:

Plus it's got a "Nautica" logo on the back, no information about cuffs, and it's sold out, too.

on the side connected to the shoulder seam, on the back , and on the inside of the sleeve

TBH, I don't think there's any need now, you did pretty much all I could've done and perfectly so tho I believe I can correct just one tiny error you've made on the sleeve tab. Maybe I'm seeing it wrong but I see it like this...
