Every part of Marty McFly's outfit from Back to The Future Part 1 (Mostly focused on the 1984 Guess denim jacket)

They’re making a new jacket? I didn’t know that.
What!? You have GOTTA check out the thread! Read it all the way from the start to the end. Really good stuff.

I had vaguely checked this thread before. I had no idea it was for magnoli. I thought it was more of a personal project. Now I’m not so sure about headgoonie. I personally don’t mind the innacurate gray, but if you can “age it” a little bit it wouldn’t be so bad. But I saw somewhere a long time ago that you can’t do that because apparently it makes the denim go yellow? I think it’s going to depend on how the pricing for the magnoli jacket will be. I also don’t wanna miss the chance to get the headgoonie jacket. I’m close to having the money to get it.

I'm holding out for Magnoli. I asked about the denim, and Mitastouch said that "if one company can match it, I'm sure another can." That's obviously no confirmation, but I'm hoping that pans out. Even if it does, I've seen close-ups of what I'm pretty sure is their current jacket (on J.J. Neimann's TikTok, who was the actor for Marty for BTTF The Musical on Broadway), and the fading is already done really well. If they just fix the colors, it's already better than Headgoonie's, not to mention just about 10 years of research from the people on this site, particularly TheNickFox, fluxingwpower, and MitasTouch (am I missing anyone?). I've been reading their older threads for a long time before I decided to make an account and join in on the fun. I haven't really added any particularly important info, but everyone here has been kind and given me more help than I could ask. I know Magnoli don't need any reassurance from me, but... his company's got this in the bag.

I think I might still get headgoonie. I want to wear it during my last year of HS, which is going to be soon.
 
One thing I just thought about is the amount of merchandise that get the jacket wrong in some way, then fixed it. They actually very recently fixed the Funko POP, and Neca's literally has the Guess triangle on it. Hot Toys' 1:6 scale got everything pretty much perfect.

Though, there is always a darker side. I've seen SO many items that have either used Headgoonie's 2015 jacket for reference, or are just... wrong. Too blue, too dark, etc.

Funny that companies can't even decide on what color it is.
 
Back to what this thread was originally about: here's what I could find from the colored background session.

I'm gonna start finding the photos on the cover to recreate for a poster, maybe. I can't find the exact photo from St. Elmo's Fire, but I've found very similar ones. Almost nothing for the Duran Duran photo. I don't know who "Rick" and "Ralph" are.

TheNickFox says he has more photos from the session, but hasn't shown much due to respecting personal relations with the photographer.
Just to clarify: I don’t have any additional photos. I knew the photog before he passed and have attempted to ask his wife for his agent’s info to buy more but due to his passing that seems to be a sensitive spot that she isn’t entertaining.

When appropriate I’ll ask again.
 
Recreated the logo. Right now, I'm just trying to match the fonts.

Still no fonts located yet (free ones, at least), but I've finished the top logo. Just need the photos and I can start adding them.

Added the incorrect photos I have so far. Im currently doing this on my phone, but I'm probably gonna do it better in Photoshop/Illustrator later.
