I only just noticed that this jacket will be used for the waistband. So your version will be a 3-band? Or are you going to slim it and make it a 2-band?
Back to the Future Guess Marciano Denim Jacket Replica
- Thread starter MitasTouch
- Start date
It's either being cut down to be 2 segments or simply sewn in higher than normal to be 2 segments. I honestly haven't asked lol.
I should have a big update this coming week I've been told so stay tuned!

Splendid Emma... Now photoshoot is on the horizon I guess! speaking off, is the lining is from the HG or Nick Fox one?
Not a big update yet, but I did just confirm a few details with the arms. Which pieces to use for the arms since I sent in 2 sets of different sizes. One set for the actual arms and the other for various other pieces. I also confirmed that they still have the arm bellows. Their official names are guesset pieces according to Indy.

Bought this jacket for fabric just in case Headgoonie's turns out too dark, although I might use a pair of jeans and do what dhennick99 did and just replace the leather.

Definitely much lighter, and I'm not sure if I prefer it... The leather is also very soft and the jacket as a whole is VERY light (weightwise) compared to my genuine one. The sleeves are also baggy enough to be rolled up, but they're not split at the cuff. Just a button. Very weird.

The lining is from Nick Fox!
FYI lining should be back up on Spoonflower in a week or two.

To be entirely honest, I'm not 100% doing this for BTTF. I just think the jacket is really cool, which is why I am probably going to reline it with white if I can't special order it.

This was designed quite a bit ago but I have it here to share.

So, the project collaboration is still running with Magnoli? or being postponed?
It's still going on.
I should have an update soon after the coming weekend.

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but has anyone tried contacting jonnytrooper about his jacket? Or does he straight up not want to share info?
He wants to keep hard details like these to himself.

Why must those who have vital info about things never want to share said information?!?! Other than people like you, London, Nick, or Emma lol

Also, perhaps this has been answered before,
Why is it that, in the movie, the main gray always appears a soft blue color, but every gray/blue vest or jacket that can be found (like jonny's) is straight-up just a monochrome gray with barely a hint of the indigo. I speculate that the one MJF wears is an earlier run, which is why it has more attributes of the later 1983-style half-and-half jackets (like the one you sold me, Mitas), with the 2-segment band and the bluer gray, as opposed to a 3-band and monochrome gray like the 1985 zip pocket jackets.
Maybe it's just me being crazy, though.
Edit: It's probably just differences in lighting and filters, and I AM crazy. Also, the attached photo of my jacket is not a good example.

You also gotta take into account that his jacket was brand new 40 years ago. As well as camera technology they were working with.
