DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

joelgoodson

I'm 5'11 around 170 pounds, narrow shoulders. Planning on shedding 10 pounds soon, so it feels less tight.

Otherwise, It still look nice.

joelgoodson, what is your chest measurment? Could u upload some pics with front of jacket on you?

I'm 5'10", waist 32", chest 38", and i struggle between S and M size.
I would like to have a slim fit with only t-shirt under this jacket but need also a little space for hoodie, my favourite nike r10 velours in dark gray, it will looks awesome with this jacket. S will be very thight on me i guess, i think more than Ryan's one on him in the movie and according to my height and long arms i think i should decide for M size. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I had the same problem take a look back at page 43, the guy bwpearl posted pics of him in a S size jacket, he says he's 5'9" 156lbs. It looked really tight on him especially around the body, I ordered a M size two days ago I'm 5'7.5" 150lbs waist 30" chest 38" with broad weightlifter shoulders. I'll just have to pray that it fits well when my jacket arrives in late Feb
but take a look at Gosling's Jacket it's quite short and form fitting but its not constricting tight. The waist of the jacket has an few inches more for movement. The benefits of a personal hollywood tailor

Gosling is probably wearing a Medium

Dolce

Soooooooooooooooooooooo,

I just picked up my jacket from the customs.

What should I say?




The fit is just perfect and I'm really surprised of the quality. Can't wait to wear it on the release in Germany.

Here are two first pics:

I'm 5'11 with the same sizes as you. Trust me, go with a large if you want to wear something underneath. I have a medium and I can't even wear something other than a tshirt. Ill try to take pics later

oh dolce, what an uncanny resemblance to gosling...

Dolce

Thanks man.

I will rock the release totally!

Dolce

Isn't it uncanny?

However, seemed like the long delivery time was due to my switching in the seize. The second run orders were shipped one day after mine...

Edit: Does someone has any hints or an idea were I can order the gloves in europe?

Indy Magnoli

Can anyone confirm the colors of the scorpion with a Pantone code?

Thanks,
Magnoli

Received an email notification from Get Go Retro this morning. My jacket from the second run should be arriving in the next 2-3 days. So excited!

edit: Estimated arrival date - Friday

Dolce

Make sure to upload some fotos!


After all the seize issues I really have to admit, that the size chart by steady is correct! If you measure your seize and compare it to the chart there is no need at all to bother! It will fit!

Anybody out there that can help Indy with his question? I'm kinda relying on him producing the most accurate Drive jacket out there.

benhs1898

Same here, but we need someone with both accurate reference and knowledge of thread color codes.

It's arrived! I woke up, opened my bedroom door, and find a small package box waiting right in front of me. I think I'm gonna do one of those "unboxing" videos. I'll link it here if I'm able to.

benhs1898

Can't wait Fiddlesticks.

joelgoodson

I'm uploading an unboxing video so that will be posted in about an hour. I wrote a review of it on the video description so here's the copy pasta on my thoughts of the jacket from the movie DRIVE. TLDR on bottom.


Wear the jacket. Be the Driver. You can order your own replica of the scorpion jacket from the movie "DRIVE" at SteadyClothing.com. I bought mines at GetGoRetro.com.

It's really comfortable and warm, which was very surprising to me at first. I was expecting a jacket with a thin layer, sorta like a windbreaker. Great white satin quality. It gives off different colors depending on the lighting around you. The scorpion itself is amazing and high quality. My only gripe is the lack of diamond stitching over the patch.

I ordered an extra small so it's somewhat tight and fitted for me. If you're interested in getting one, I recommend checking the size chart. Most of my shirts and jackets are small and for some reason, I chose extra small for the Drive jacket. If you want it to be tight and snug, order one size lower. Otherwise you should be fine with your usual size.

I did have a couple problems with the jacket though. When I first put it on, I thought I was going to rip the sleeve off. Of course, that might have happened because I ordered a size smaller than what I usually wear. My second problem with the jacket were the tiny loose threads. There was a long one around the front pocket and a few scattered up and down the zipper from the inside. I didn't rage on it but when you're paying $150 for something, you certainly don't want to see things like that.

One final thing. The jacket features a snap on collar. I didn't notice it in the movie so it was kinda random here. It's quite an annoyance if you don't put it on because it's always rubbing against my neck.

edit: The snap on collar is in fact in the movie jacket and is only a minor annoyance if you pull the zipper all the way up. Gosling doesn't do this in the movie so maybe that's why I never noticed the collar in the first place.

I really love this jacket and can't wait to wear this bad boy on Halloween and cosplay conventions. I don't see myself wearing this outside in public on a daily basis. It screams attention and the bright white satin is very eye grabbing. Is it worth the $150? Depends on how much you think you'll wear this often and if you have the urge to own something that's from an awesome movie. If you haven't seen DRIVE yet, I highly recommend you doing so. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary "heist gone wrong" movie but it's a totally different kind of beast, and in the best way possible.

TLDR: Awesome jacket but for $150, is it worth it? Ask yourself the questions: Do I like the movie? Did I find the jacket badass in the movie? Do I want to own a piece of memorabilia from the movie? Am I going to wear this in public? Do I have $150 to spend?

Very cool, but they misquoted the movie. I hate misquoted lines.

Here's the unboxing video. Somebody here suggested doing a video review and I thought maybe an unboxing video would be somewhat useful as well. This isn't a video review (but I do have my thoughts on the jacket in the video description) but more for the sole purpose of seeing it in motion.
