Back to the Future 1985 Denim Jacket 2018 Update

From what I remember, my aunt saw a rack FULL of these jackets at a Guess outlet during late spring of 1986 in Southern California. I was living in San Francisco at the time with my parents, as I was a Sophomore in high school. She knew I wore a lot of Guess clothing, as they were popular back then. She offered to purchase the jacket for my birthday which wasn't until September. I remember my father gawking at the price being approx $150-175 for a denim jacket. Regardless she bought it for me, though I quickly outgrew it by my senior year, though I did wear it to school a number of times & remember a lot of fellow classmates ask me where I bought the jacket, as they weren't available anywhere in the bay area.

As for the logo, having purchased a lot of Guess clothing during that era, same with my older sister, it was fairly commonplace for many of their items from what I remember. I still have a few Guess shirts that used the same Guess tag / logo that was on my jacket. I have the actual photo in my storage somewhere, would need to scan it one day when I actually have more time.
Do you know why yours had the rectangle Guess logo and not the triangle one on the pocket like the screen used version did? Close up screenshots show a dark triangle where that patch was removed. I guess since you said you got yours in 1986 it could be just a small update they did to the jacket and used a different patch than the 1984 or 1985 one. Not sure when they started filming with MJF.

Not sure why, though I do still have a few guess clothes from that era at my parents house & they all have the same rectangular "Guess" logo. I was heavily into Guess clothing during that time 86-87, so this may have been more common & yes was likely an update to the later jackets.
 
I just purchased the Maxcady Bttf jacket for a shoot w/my recently purchased 1981 Delorean. It's closer to the movie version jacket in replication as far as the inside is concerned....but very different from my original Guess jacket pictured above.

Nice to finally see a picture of the latest Max Cady design (sweet delorean too!).

Any chance you could post a full picture of the Max Cady? Thanks!
 
Here's a another shot of the jacket

Hey, how are you ?

My brother has the 2018 version of the Max Cady denim jacket, whose I put some pictures of.
And I am wondering how is the last version of the max cady.

Is it as much great and accurate than the 2018 ?

The 2018 was EXTREMLY ACCUARTE as the one in the movie in term of shape and baggy effect, suncerly BUT HOW IS THE 2020 ????

Could anyone post some accurate pictures of the last version to compare ?

PS:
PICTURE I POST SHOW THE 2018 MAX CADY NOT THE LAST !!! I also post a photo of the real jacket on Marty' s bedroom to compared

Thank you

Great pictures Adrigoune! Shame that Max Cady didn't include the lining in the 2018 version and stuck with white stitching. I wonder if the 2020 version has updated this?

No no no no don't worried, there is the Hollywood Lining inside, there is just to brightness to see it
 
No no no no ther is the Hollywood Lining onside, there is just to brightness tobsee it

ah ok.. I'm currently weighing up whether to pull the trigger on the Max Cady as it appears to be the best looking replica in it's price point (not that I wouldn't love an Indy Replica when he's 100% with his new design)

I ask Max Cady about their their new Jacket, is it as great as the 2018 ? Waiting for the reply...
Yes for the Indy but when will it be release ? Have you got some infos ?

not sure when it’s coming as Indy has been working on it for a long time to ensure he gets the screen accuracy but I’d imagine the pandemic hasn’t helped. It’s likely to cost a lot more than the Max Cady which is why I’m looking into that for now

I think that It cannot cost more than a Head Goonie, if it is the case, nobody will buy it
 
Could anyone post some detailled pictures of a 2020 Max Cady Denim Jacket ?

I Have been able to get a picture of the waistband and pockets of 2020 and it seems cheeper than the 2018.
 
Have any of you seen The Hundreds have made a pretty decent replica of the Marty Denim Jacket? They worked with a team at Universal to create a replica jacket for their Back To The Hundreds Part II collection. It's not 100% screen accurate by any means (as it has a few 'Hundred' flourishes) but it's a very affordable replica!
 

Sold out real quick
 
I wish I could get an accurate jacket but it seemingly doesn't exist.

It will so soon enough. Have a lot of faith in Indy Magnoli to produce a very accurate replica. He’s done a lot research and with a lot of people on this forum so we hopefully will one day have a 99.9% accurate replica!
 

Sold out real quick

It did. I just about managed to get one in my size. I’ll upload some pictures for you guys once it arrives as there may be some elements which help with some replica makers on here.
