I've thought about putting a Cortez top on a Court Low sole but I don't think it would fit

That’s coming along very nicely, can’t wait to see the finished product!
I was finally able to get the liner fabrics from Spoonflower so I think I have everything I need now for my genuine Guess denim jacket project.

Close. but mine is more similar with the Bruin, no NIKE wording, no extra little swoosh and the sole was exactly the same with Bruin leather.

Bull Airs just announced their Marty McFly inspired version of the Nike Bruins earlier today, if you aren’t aware of Bull Airs they do different themed versions of shoes marketed towards sneaker heads, usually Air Jordan’s. They did an Air MAG inspired AJ run recently and it sold out. Their stuff isn’t cheap!
These aren’t meant to be exact replicas of the Bruins that were worn onscreen, but a fun BTTF themed take on them.
Just a small detail to share. Due to the limitations of the fabric I supplied, there is some extra dye that is visible on the side of the pockets. They will attempt to fade it away, but I told them it's no big deal if they can't.

I know it might be a little unethical, but why not sacrifice a 1983 with the correct pockets for the bottom? They seem decently plentiful, but I understand if that's anti-preservation, lol.
I want the color and fade style to match so the front is all from the same type of jacket. The only part that isn't from said jacket is the back piece. I had to compromise on that.

I finally have a use for this jacket! I'm going to take this to an alterations shop and get the yoke leather replaced with blue denim, just in case I can't get the upcoming HeadGoonie jacket. I might also get the body shortened and the collar edged off.

Well, the quote for replacing the leather was WAY more than I was willing to pay, so it's on the Bay now.
I paid 60 bucks to a local tailor when I did my 2015 HG jacket. Did they quote you more than that?

$110 minimum.
Damn. Maybe remove the leather yourself first to cut down on labor. Get a cheap seam ripper from Walmart.

Even if I did that, I'd still have to replace the lining, shorten the body, and edge off the collar, and even then it has the wrong pockets. I am really holding out for HeadGoonie to pull this off right.
