So I guess those jackets are just meant to have cuffed sleeves lol?

Yeah, the sleeves are usually too long otherwise. That was the style in the 80s, cuffed sleeves. They are designed to be cuffed to show the white liner which was uncommon on other denim jackets such as Levi or Wrangler.
Some people even wore their Guess Marciano jackets inside out, which is why the jackets have Guess logos or other imagery on the inside liner.
Take Madonna's 1984 "Borderline" music video for example, the guy is wearing the exact same jacket I bought in my last reply inside out.

Maybe I just have long arms, but my Paris jacket sleeves are WAY too short cuffed.

Probably because it's not a Guess jacket, just an off brand copy made for cheaper. I usually roll mine up enough that it sits on my watch.

I suppose that's most likely the case. Still comfortable, and that's what matters.

First pic from the workshop. Just showing a portion of the patterns.

When it's finished you're probably going to have the best scratch replica ever. The best patterns with the best denim!
That's the plan lol
Patterns are almost ready. Couple things to address then it's time for assembly!
I hope to have the jacket some time in early 2025.

Do you think this could be too good to be true? If not, I'm buying it tonight. With the discount it comes out to under $170.
That's about what they go for. I have a size Large I don't need if you're interested.

Sent you a PM.

I just noticed Guess actually makes something reasonably similar to the Marty jacket in terms of the main design.
Elastic bottom, lower flap pockets with side entry, middle seam, shirt-style collar. Would this be able to be deconstructed to use as fabric for a Magnoli replica?

Just got this medium to add to the vest collection. This one is the older label I believe and doesn’t have the flowers on the buttons. That’s the only difference I can tell other than the label compared to my accurate one.
Colors are spot on. Just different lighting between pictures.

eBay for $40. Definitely the cheapest one I’ve gotten so far. Pretty sure I refreshed as soon as it went up.
The 3 I’ve bought have all been from eBay. I dont think I’ll ever find one in person lol. At this point I just get one if it’s a good deal.
