hahaha damn right... who needs google when you can get the best obscure info here

I just got this! :



It looks to have lots of life, but a good wash and a leather restorer should do it

Tada, the leather restorer worked pretty well !

Should I do it slitghly darker though? Or does it look good there?

EmmaInCandyland if you don't mind my asking how did you get one with the correct webbing colour?

p.s. The leather parts may look better slightly darker imo.

Hi I found the bag on Etsy! Was pretty lucky, and was not this expensive to be honest ^^

Otherwise, I found the leather restorer on ebay! I might get a darker one i'll see

Thanks!

Awesome find Emma, a couple shades darker and the leather will be perfect! I found lots of links for the same kind on Google, the "Eastpak Padded Pak'r Returnity Red." And it seems it has a 30 year warranty!

Oh wow haha, Yeah I have seen this one, but it's a bit inaccurate x)
The logo is different and the cream colour on the bag should be black xD!

Ps: sorry for the double post, my internet went wrong ><

Your bag looks good, Emma, but the logo is wrong, too. It's the older one from the 70s. The 80s logo patch of the screen used bag has a large orange globe without coordinates (N, W and S) and italic letters without a hyphen between EAST and PAK (EASTPAK). Here's a screen cap of the scene where Marty and Jennifer are standing in front of the school door:



Four weeks ago, I bought a backpack on eBay. It has the correct colors and shape and the logo patch seems to be correct, too. I'm still waiting for the delivery, but here are the eBay images:

thats the same one as mine Roland

Is it that one? http://www.therpf.com/f9/marty-mcfly...ackpak-127767/

The logo design is correct, but the color of the globe and "Made in U.S.A." seems to be red instead of orange.

Today I received my bag. Here it is:

It's awesome Roland! You always ruin my good finds though xD!
Now I want the one with the right logo xD!

It shouldn't be difficult to find any bag with the correct logo and replace the logo of your bag, which is still the correct one (except for the logo).

Yeah, I've made some researches, but it's a bit annoying to spend $30+ for another bag just for the label, eeeerk harsh life xD!

Anyway, did you get my messages Roland or not? :x

Perhaps someone could make you another label? Roland?

I wouldn't sweat the color of the logo. I have noticed that the color on the correct Eastpak logo often appears orangeish against the maroon/red of the backpack itself. The entire film appears very warmly colored and I'm sure all of our old packs spent some time fading in the sun. Impossible to prove one way or another in my opinion but I can guarantee the zipper pulls on Marty's bag are chrome and not black.

I have one of these also with but with black zippers and a padded interior back panel in yellow. What color is yours? Marty's? I have seen grey and turquoise on eBay before.

George Costanza on Seinfeld has a blue one just like Marty's. A popular and durable film production favorite? Probably just a coincidence!

Well the zippers on the bag are black I think only the zips are chrome!
The interior of my bag? Well it's red, it's just like the colour of the exterior
The padded part inside the bag and for the back seems to be some sort of blue yeah ^^' Like a bit dark
