Headgoonie Back to the Future 40th Anniversary Denim Jacket

[XatD26]

What HG should do is give style options:
- Stock GUESS with film colors
- Stock GUESS with real colors
- Movie mods with film colors
- Movie mods with real colors
"Movie mods" being the lining and removal of the patch.

That would be cool. Headgoonie isn't a big brand so they could do it.

Mitas talked about Magnoli perhaps doing a version in the blue/tan leather colorway. That would be sick.

There's also this on their website although it could just be referring to the sizing

I think I'll still buy it but before that I need to find a method on how to make it look faded without damaging it.

 

[emmetguy222]

It looks too tapered in to me. Not as bad as I thought now that I see everything and it's not egg-shaped.

looool this looks funny

There's only one guy (as far as I know) that actually has (or appears to have) every single genuine part of his outfit, and that's jonnytrooper, though I could be wrong. EmmaInCandyland has everything, though the jacket is modified from blue/leather to be a movie replica.

I do have all outfits accurate, only missing the poncho haha
My class-5 is a size S tho, MJFox is wearing a M.

Concerning Headgoonie, I think the colours really vary from one post to another, it looks more like a washed out blue, but I do think it could be a bluish grey colour. Maybe pumice stone could work to get a more grey ish look, but it seems they keep doing revisions until it'll get release.

 

[XatD26]

Strange, I think the images have differed quite a lot across their socials. Some seem bluer, some appear greyer. The flaps and shape remain consistent however. As I said, they may have manipulated the images by adding filters in some posts.

Yeah I think for the pictures they are using filters but for the videos they aren’t.

Whilst I'm all for ongoing revisions if they can make it more screen accurate, it all goes back to the advice we gave them which was to delay the release until they have a finished product. The colour varies by each picture they post, some better than others, but as a customer I want to know what I'll be getting prior to handing over a big wedge of cash. Disclaimers on their site just provide them with a 'get out of jail free' card. We've said it before, but they had every single opportunity to get this right and be the 'go to' retailer for these jackets, but sadly they haven't seen it through. Given these haven't sold out I'd say that speaks volumes!

True. I think the best we can know that we are getting are probably those videos. I think someone should’ve just told them “Hey can you just redo the 2018 jacket?” Or something like that. They got really good references with actual GUESS jackets did they not?

I don't think they actually had any real jackets on hand.

 

[XatD26]

Yeah but I think they got sent pictures. I could be very wrong because if they got pictures of actual GUESS jackets then there is almost no reason to get the color incorrect. I just thought about this, but maybe they did this specifically for the 40th anniversary to make it “special”? Probably not, but it could be a possibility.

Mitas Touch gave them all the information they could ever need and we each provided feedback direct to them too. As I understand, certain processes were no longer available to them which prevented them getting the exact finish we so desired. Most of the inaccuracies I could stomach, since only the hard core few would ever spot them in the wild, but the colour is the literal face of the jacket, so when that's off, it all looks off. A little less blue, a little more grey needed in my humble (and very unprofessional!) opinion.

I agree entirely. I can ignore the pocket flaps being too long, as when you wear a vest they're hidden, but it HAS to be the right color.

Yeah I agree with the color. I also think the fading is important and also is a contributing factor as to why it looks a little odd.

 

[XatD26]

I wanted to say that the color looks slightly different from my computer to my phone. The indigo color looks less strong on my phone screen compared to my computer screen. I will try to compare them side by side.

Yes, it's a common problem and certainly why Headgoonie needed a genuine jacket in hand to colour match to. Thats the reason the design world usually work with Pantone numbers - they remove any doubt between what is matched to the genuine and then the subsequent replicas. It's also not helpful for us as prospective customers when we're seeing different colours via different devices. Not all screens are made the same and colour is represented wildly different depending on the technology.

Yeah that's also true. I doubt anyone has sent them an actual GUESS jacket they only sent pictures. But even then, they should've not gotten the color wrong, specially when they had gotten it right previous years. I think if anyone can, should probably contact them and notify them of the issue.

Ok I found something big, one of the pictures is in CMYK instead of RGB. I knew there was something off about the pictures from the website. I'm gonna try to see if I can put them in RGB.
