    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    A Magnoli jacket in ivory, without the scorpion sold on eBay in the UK last week. It went for £33 or $57, and that is only because I put a last minute bid on as it was so cheap. If not it would have sold for £22 or $37 . If it had a scorpion I would probably have bought it.

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    A lot of companies making Drive replicas are using photographs of the screen used jacket. The photographs appear to be ones which Steady Clothing took of the jacket they were supplied to make the authorized replica from. The original Steady advert used these images before they replaced them...

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    Is the jacket on the left the one you posted pics of on 7th Nov, or the Lim jacket you just received? The stitching over the scorpion is positioned exactly the same. The scorpion on the Lim jacket does look amazing and in that shot the satin looks even more golden than th steady version.

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    I've looked at your jacket alongside photographs of the screen used jacket and there are some differences. The diamond stitching pattern on your jacket is smaller and squarer. The scorpion on your jacket also appears larger than on the screen jacket. But the stitching pattern on your...

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    See my post with pics regarding the brown trim change on th steady jacket on page 69 of his thread. I think that the Steady scorpion might be slightly smaller overall and the body might be slightly thinner than the screen jacket, but It is by far the most accurate I have seen on any of the...

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    The Steady jacket has changed slightly. Can't remember exactly, but I think that the change happened at the third or fourth run. The brown fabric on on the collar and cuffs was changed for a slightly thicker and heavier ribbed material.

    The colours on that scorpion are well off from the screen jacket. The tail on that scorpion is also pointed in that template, whereas the tail on the screen jacket has a curved end. Maybe this was an earlier rendering of the scorpion which got changed.

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    That eBay jacket does not look very accurate to me. Has a silver zipper, the collar is too large and pointed, there is a large snap button on the collar and the scorpion is a pretty off. For use as a one off outfit for Haloween or similar you can't really argue with the price.

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    Same measurements as Jack Skellington. Seriously, a 33" chest at 6'0, is that even possible? Can you even buy suit jackets with a 33" chest? If your right then you might get into the XS but I'm pretty sure that the sleeves will end half way up your forearm as they are 1.5" shorter than the...

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    I am about 5'11", 158lbs and do some gym work might be slightly bigger than average. I usually buy medium sized clothes in the UK and my tailored 38" suit jacket fits me perfectly. I have a medium Steady jacket and its fits me like it was made to measure. I could get a denim jacket under...

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    General consensus is that the jackets being sold on eBay are not very accurate. You would be better off getting the version of the jacket made by Steady Clothing. This version is, in my opinion, the most accurate version of the jacket available and for the price offers good quality. Dan

    Has anyone received their jacket from Indy??? Only saw the few pics of the jacket on his site which was a bit large and didn't show it in its best possible light. I know that there were a few people ordering from him. Let's see em!! Dan

    DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

    I'm pretty sure this company are making their own version and not selling Steady jackets. I don't know of anyone who has bought one on here so have no idea how good it is. They have three different variations for sale. I would have the following concerns if buying from them: 1) The pictures...
