Ok next up I am going to show how they folded the jacket and the distressed look. Brad Pitt's jacket looks more "open" than the brand new JAL because they folded it open. I took a few pictures trying to show just how they folded the lining (It was folded on both sides but I only have two hands) -- You could easily recreate this look by having the jacket and laying a book or something to make it fold that way:
NOTE: This is showing my darker JAL jacket the one I brought inside so I made sure to put a little sticker so I knew where to fold it again when I got home:

The Toucan is definitely a vintage medium which would be a small by today's standards. I got a shirt that would fit exactly like it. I will post pictures later today. I also just posted the folded lapel. It will stay like that if I held it there for a while.

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..
