The pics above are from the Screen used jacket (that is listed on Screen used.com) I have had this jacket for about 10 years. I have sell it than to x-mart. The first three pics are made in a photostudio - it look´s 10 times better as in the other pics on the net. The last two pics are made with normal light, so you can see the difference.

This jacket is an vintage jacket, there were removed two Labels inside the jacket. And it had definatly shoulder pads inside!!

My replica jacket was based on this jacket, i only changed the size of the collar (like pitt wear it on the lot of autograph Cards) & made the pockets more Screen accurate. And i missed the sholder pads.

As Soul said, it was really much work & time with the craftsman, that we became the look & colour as good as possible to the Screen worn jacket. It took´ a lot of time!

The craftsman now (that was an 2 Person Company) quit his Job vor about 5 years... :-(

Tom, these pictures are amazing. I can't believe how exact these match my red JAL. Even the inside pocket, the colour of the lining and the splits around the bottom are an eerily perfect match. You can even see that the under lining is the same. My collar hasn't crinkled like that even after five years of use so it must be the distressing that the costume department did. My lining has holes all over it now, it needs to be redone, but I can't be bothered to send it to JAL. What I do love most about this jacket is that it warms to your body temperature, but if it gets cold, then you get cold. I've never worn anything like it. Obviously the leather is different but if you check out the FAQ I put together on the film jackets forum there are leather sample pictures next to this jacket and they're pretty much identical.

Good stuff Rupert. Thanks for chiming in.

I wasn't initially so attracted to the main Durden jacket, mainly just the Mayhem. But as time goes on I find myself thinking that I will contact JAL again… I will probably end up succumbing to that desire in the not so distant future…

Do it. You won't regret it. One other thing I noticed while looking through Tom's pictures of the original movie costume and pictures of mine that I have taken is the leather thickness. They're from what I can tell, they're identical.

My JAL in standard leather



Have a look at where the lapel folds, you can see the double layer of leather and they match.

Sorry to burst the bubble guys but the jackets that JAL makes are identical, they're just new non distressed versions which aren't painted, baked and scrubbed with wire brushes to make them look old. As AJ has already said. If you want the Durden jacket, short of stealing it from the exhibition, this is the real deal. Except the curved collar and the stitching on the elbow. These things are optional anyway, so he can make it like that if you want. And that's what I'll be doing the next time I get him to make me one.

i'll shut up now.

Yeah, I may just do that. I have to say, that paisley lining is really awesome.

Jacket lust rising…

:D
 
Some say the xmart jacket is vintage some say it is a logan original. Don't know what to believe anymore. Tom says it was vintage and had two tags removed. If we can confirm where the tags were and what kind of tags we can get a clue.

Cos SoulRevolver can do what they like. They have nothing to do with the JAL/Original discussion. I had an old Soul Revolver and it was just as thick as the JAL. The leather just didn't have the same depth of colour and quality.
Two pictures to show you of the lightweight jacket. Both taken In the last week. Since it's not brand new any more and is bigger than my red one and has that more boxy look

on me



sorry its a **** selfie. But gives you an idea of the fit and hang of lighter leather.

Dan, dude don't worry about it. Like you said, if it is a vintage find, how come no one else has found one? The labels in Toms would be continuity labels etc. you said it yourself. We know who made it, we know where to get it how to get it but yet we still want more. I was like that until I saw Toms pictures. Now all I want Is one with slightly curved collars and a bit bigger. And that's mental. :). I said to the girlfriend today, I can be at peace now. Those pictures confirmed its the correct colour and easily made by Jonathan. It DOESN'T get better than this. Except for personal touches.

It might he a quality issue in the leather. JAL is one of the best leatherworkers in America and he uses only top of the line quality leather. He also doesn't mark the jacket up outsidd of the costs it costs to make them. Since there is about a 600 dollar proce difference between Soulrevolver and his the quality could be worse. I dont own a Soulrevolver but JAL is like the Michael Jordan of leatherworking.
 
Rupert you're right about the fact that if it wa a vintage find. And damn the second pic you took, the selfie the jacket looks awesome. A+ on that one
 
I guess the bottom line is, if Kaplan and logan both confirmed that the jackets used were distressed and beaten up from new then that's all there is to it. Whether or not the leather is the same and aj and smirk's jackets will look like durden's in ten or twenty hrs, only time will tell. I only wish I knew for sure what leather was used for the screen used jAcket and why toms/xmart'a jacket looked dry vintage/hard/cracked leather. Calf or lamb???
 
Ok guys I just saw the Red jacket, toucan shirt, black sugar tank, newspaper pants, mayhem jacket, and they had a button down shirt I never seen before. It said mileage on it and looked faded with a motorcycle. Had lots of pictures on it. It was like a tan faded color. Anyone know what that was?

As for the leather jacket, I brought my "default" JAL. The screen used is definitely more red compared to the JAL (note I have two jals, one that is the default leather and one with a more red leather). I wasnt allowed to take a picture but the exhibit is here till July... I am sure there is a way.

The screen used jacket has more red then the basic JAL (will post a pic of the basic JAL when I get home). It has also what looked like a slight orange tinge to it too. I even asked my friends what they thoughtand they all saw orange. I also held my jacket up next to it to see the difference in the exact same light.

I plan to bring my other Jal (the more red one next) to see how it matches up.

I compared every detail for literally an hour and the JAL is 100% a match same exact cut.

Funny story too, when I was walking around I got stopped because they thought I took the Fight Club jacket off the stand and was wearing it around haha. They had everyone come over to me... It was pretty funny.

I am typing from my iphone so it is hard to type too much. I can describe the other shirts too.
 
It may not have been orange (definitely not like the Pss that hss orange) but it had a slight other color on the jacket. The screen jacket was definitely NOT thinner then mine either. It looked the same.
 
hey aj, just out of curiosity, what did the costume sizes look like? Were small as hell or what? hollywood-feature-2.jpg is this what you saw? So how's the security there??;)

That was the exact exhibit I saw but it was a lot darker lighting with a light shining on the costumes. That shirt in the mayhem jacket is the one I did not recognize.
 
Ok guys here are the pictures of my jacket and how I compared it to the exhibit.

1) I OWN TWO JALS. One is the one he makes by default the other is more red. I brought the default one today to see how it matched up. The screen used jacket is definitely more red I even held my jacket next to it in the exact same lighting. The thing about the JAL jackets is that depending on the lighting the color looks a LOT different. I am going to show exactly how that is:

First here is the ticket I got to go in:

Here is the JAL I brought inside:

This was taken sitting in the back of my car around 5 PM in Phoenix. It was also an overhead cloudy day with slight rain. As you can see, the default leather JAL uses looks very red. The Fight Club jacket was a BRIGHTER more VIBRANT red. It also looked like it had a very very very slight orange to it.

Here is indoor lighting of my two JAL jackets side by side -- The jacket on the LEFT (The DARKER one) is the one I brought inside to compare to the screen used jacket. This is the same jacket you in the above two pictures. As you can see inside lighting the jacket looks a lot darker versus when being outside.

The jacket on the RIGHT (the more RED one) is my other JAL. I plan to go back to the exhibit very soon (And sneak some pictures) and compare this one. I believe the jacket on the right is the screen accurate color. The screen used jacket is too red in a dark setting (And it was dark inside and yes I leaned over the little stand put my jacket next to the real one to compare in the same light) -- It has to be a very bright red in an outdoor light which is how my brighter JAL looks -- I should also note the elbows on the screen used jacket have tears in them. Also the collar looks different because of how it was folded. I will post an example of how exactly the collar is folded too later on tonight:

Ok as for the sizing, Brad Pitt's Fight Club jacket is a size 40. I do modeling and I am signed with a major agent (Ford) and I can generally eye clothes and tell you how they would fit on me. His jacket was the same size as mine and I wear a 40 also.

His tank top looks to be a small - medium, - medium, the Toucan Shirt if it is a true vintage would be a medium (I can show a shirt with the exact same fit) or if it was by today's standards probably a small, the red stripe with white stripe track pants are a size medium I would say, the newspaper pants look to be about a small-medium (They could fit tight), the mayhem jacket looks like a 40 also or possibly a little smaller than the red jacket.
 
AJ, how was the sizing of the screen used? the toucan shirt was pretty tight on pitt, did it look very small in person? Also, in the pictures the jacket looks glossy and shiny. Is it really beat up or is it in good shape due to the painting? I also wanted to ask you if it was possible for you to fold the lapel of your jackets lower like they did in the film or if your jackets are still to tough for that? Just curious how the screen used had it's lapels folded back and forth easily with no problem. I have a kenneth cole jacket from 2000 that was made in a red calf leather, and it looks exactly the same as the jacket you took to the museum. I mean exact. Same thickness, same gloss, same color, same texture, same everything. It was called glazed cow hide..
