Proud to say i have the accurate ones and i use them pretty much everyday! They are great boots indeed.
Well I got ahold of UGG and thier gonna pass along the request to the head management and marketing. Long shot but ya never know. And ninebullets..ya the boots are a nother wonder..gotta love ebay I scored a pair off ther and only 40 bucks!!! Only ever saw 2 pair on ther in 4 years.
Have you got the email address that you contacted them on? Pass it to me and I'll email them too, try and get them to think there's interest, which there is (proof on this thread)

This Is all great news, this thread has done wonders for the jacket, If they need proof of the dedication of the jacket this thread Is perfect, and It might be a high possibility (depending on why they discontinued the jacket to begin with) I would not mind dropping 500-600 dollars on the jacket, most certainly, hopefully although they might sell It for cheaper, and even If the original doesn't workout, we still have two replicas being crafted, a lot of options all thanks to this thread

I tried with UGG before, two years ago, right when I first found out about the jacket.
I don't think it's gonna happen, they have literally no incentive to re-release a 1000$ jacket that about 20 people would buy.

I disagree, that's almost 20k In their pockets already, and to be honest way more people would buy that, once all the Rick cosplayers find out? the jacket would be a must for their costumes, I fully disagree, I don't think It would happen but If only they knew about the jacket being on the walking dead and people scattering across the skies to find It, It should give them an "!l" point over their head
Who wants to bet that Indy Magnoli will get his jacket out faster than Suzahdi? Lmao

Indy told me that he has sourced the suede and ribbed knitting for the jacket!
Here are the materials we're planning on using (taken under a flash, so a bit brightened up, but should give you the idea):
So Dead Man mentioned that you "sourced" the fabric, what exactly does he mean by sourced? Like you actual found the same exact style of fabric for the suede and lycra or were you able to get in touch with someone at Ugg/ a jacket owner that could identify the fabric?
No... just picked out similar looking options from our usual material suppliers.
Okay that makes sense haha, I imagine actually getting in contact with the Ugg tailors must be a pain in the butt especially for replication
First quick impression is that the colors seem to be ok so far. There's only one picture so there's only so much to see.
I do notice that the ribs on the ribbed fabric are pretty wide on the sourced material and should be smaller. The original ribbed fabric has 8 ribs per cm.
We'll look for a tighter weave. In the meantime, here are the same fabrics without flash:
Looking good so far as Razor said, colours do seem to be right, especially when the two materials are compared to each other.
Ribbed fabric sample pics from the UGG jacket for reference in relation to the weave.
