Fight Club Tyler Durden T-shirts?

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:

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..

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.

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.

I thought all the costumes would be really small. Pitt was very small in the movie. When we met, you were a pretty tall dude. Definitely not small or skinny in any way. I'd image you would be alot taller and bigger then pitt was in that movie.
 
Oh as for how beat up is the screen accurate jacket? On a scale of one to ten, ten being trashed to hell, it is like a 7. It definitely looks old, beat up, and worn out. They did a great job.

I think he lost weight during the movie. The mannequins were suppose to be a height accurate replica of the actor and Pitts mannequin was nearly as tall as Norton's. Could put him around 510 511. The shirts were definitely not small.
 
Hey AJ, I custom made my shirt, using my own stencils, and patience too. Tried to get as accurate as I could though, I still have room to fill in the rest, like a puzzle he he..:cheers
 
Nice job on that dancing girls shirt coolsnell. I love seeing custom creations like that. How did you make it?

Can't wait to fly down and see the exhibit in person!

The other moto shirt you didn't recognize AJ is actually in the movie briefly, but we only saw the back of it through the window when he is demoralizing the space monkeys with the bullhorn. He is also wearing the newspaper jeans in this scene. You can also see it in the vid and pics from the Klein photoshoot.

Soul never fails. Hey soul, I know this is a weird request but if you ever have time, would you be able to post a couple more screen caps of the black polo from the scene where he's saying the rules. I'd really love to have a good look at the fit of the shirt. I know youre the man at that so if you ever have time, I'd appreciate it.
 
Hey Soul, yes I re - sketched out what I could see, from the painting/old man, looked a little at your shirt, cut out the drawings into some quick stencils and painted through them onto my shirt. Same exact method I used when I tried to replicate the newspaper pants I made a while back. Glad ya like it!
 
Nice job AJ. Detective skills are coming along nicely. :). Gonna throw a spanner in the works here. The pictures that Tom posted of his old jacket bothered me earlier. This isn't a screen used jacket. The collar is wrong. The pockets are different to the pictures of the jacket we're used to seeing that X-mart has. I'm thinking it's another prototype. Colour is correct, pockets are correct, but collar not corrected yet. That shape collar is nowhere in the film. It's like a Mk1.5 or something before they settled on the final design.

Ok here is a comparison of two vintage shirts. The blueish one is a medium and the other is small. Note how small the sleeve circumference is compared to the two. When I was looking at the sleeves and the chest of the toucan shirt, it definitely was a medium. I was also looking at the distance of the button spreading (Length) and how much the shirt was spread at the bottom.

Smirk, he never said it was screen used. He said it was the jacket he sold to xmart on the screen uses site. Tom Said he is the previous owner of the xmart jacket. He says that the images on screen used are of the jacket. The collar of tom's jacket matches the screen used jacket. It's the mk1. Vintage jacket or Logan creation. That is the question. Maybe one of you guys who have has good communication with logan can give him images and ask him if he made it
 
Tom said that there were two labels inside of the jacket that were removed. You can see where one of the labels was in this photo
 
Someone definitely needs to ask logan if he made this jacket and get a 100% legit answer. Not saying he'll lie but you know how people forget things after sixteen yrs. someone needs to show him all the images and ask him if he made it or if he knows anything about it

Yeah I saw that when I was looking at them earlier. I have never seen any kind of manufacture label in a place like that. Manufacture labels are usually hidden so it doesn't spoil the aesthetic of the clothing. That's going to be some kind of reference label for the department. It looks like it was stuck on with an adhesive rather than stitched on.

My bad. I got over excited and didn't read it properly. Weird that the pockets are different though. Ok, I'll ask Jonathan this week. He is a top guy so I am sure he can answer unless he's not allowed to. But this isn't Star Wars we're talking about, should be fine.
 
Ok. To conclude the jacket argument, I'm still not convinced that the collar is the same size as the screen used jacket. Pitts jacket collar was just made perfect. Perfect size. Almost measures to the centimeter. But as far as the leather,color,pattern,and everything else, the screen used jacket is an identical match to a logan jacket. Only difference is, the film jacket was distressed by pros. I don't doubt that if you distressed a new logan jacket that it would be identical.
 
No, I have sanded down some areas but it seems to not show cos the leather is so robust. The collar difference is the shape. They are regular triangle shape on the screen used and not curved. That seems to be the only difference. As for collar size, if you wear the jacket further back on your shoulders, the jacket looks bigger and the collar stands out further. Pull it forward and the collar looks shorter cos it is tight around your neck. But, I am sure they made it damp and pulled it down to make it longer. If I get time I'll take some pictures to demonstrate.

I disagree. The collars are the same. I literally held my jacket up to the screen one side by side. I mean the jacket was literally one foot in front of me and I have a good reach. Thats part of the reason why they thought I took it down. It was also how I marked every crease and fold to determine where they did it. I even had the thickness of the collars side by side. I asked in advance and they said as long as I didnt physically touch the display I was allowed to hold up my jacket near it.

If I can get a pic snapped of mine next to it I will upload it. I promise it is the same. I have 3 months to get a pic. Maybe I will get a google glass and use that or something.
