This thread will document my newest project. I am attempting to create a really decent replica of the Marty McFly denim jacket. As many people know, Guess were the creators of it back then. The hardest thing to replicate for this jacket is the fabric. It's an extremely specific type of denim that has a high stiffness and weight for clothing and the fading technique has not been replicated correctly even by Headgoonie. I have researched an extravagant amount and have been piecing together a collection of genuine jackets for their fabric and completed sections to use for this replica. They are not an exact match to the movie jacket. I'd say they are about 90% there. I will explain below on each picture. I still need to purchase a jacket for the blue fabric, but everything else I have.
This jacket will be used for the arms and waistband. Modifications are needed, but they are a good baseline and don't require multiple pieces being sewn together to be long enough.
This jacket will be used for the front torso pieces and pockets.
This vest will be used for the back piece.
