Back to the Future 1985 Denim Jacket 2018 Update

20221201_130034.jpg


The one in the back is a modified vintage guess I had made back in '08.

It started life with black leather accents and a football kicker on black as the liner. In around 2013 I reached out to indy and used his paisley print for the liner and cuffs. Surprised how close I got with the Denim colors. Even back when we had little to go on, aside from screengrabs.

The rack represents the evolution in the pursuit of screen accuracy. I'm happy with the 2018 headgoonie.

So to clarify

Jacket 1 - Vintage Guess Jacket
Jacket 2 - Max Caddy
Jacket 3 - Headgoonie 2015
Jacket 4 - Headgoonie 2018

I bought a Delorean in 2018 and that took most of my focus. It suddenly became more about the car and less about the movie. I didn't realize how much progress had been made, over the years nailing the jacket.

Dude, that modified jacket is awesome!! Did you change the whole collar? I remember those jackets having rounded collars. Do you also mind showing the back of the jacket?

And if you got your new Headgoonie jacket recently, how come it's the 2018 version and not the 2021 version?
 
care to named them each? i know the front one is HG 2018 version and the second perhaps HG 2015?

Yes, I had the rounded collar edged off at 90°.
I'm telling you, back in '10 my cosplay couldn't be touched.

The picture was taken at the 2010 Scream Awards Fox and Lloyd were in attendance. I even got on TV!

Notice the cuffs. This was pre Indy's Paisley liner.

I googled him after watching a video about the Garbage Pail Kids movie lol
Surprised no one else has shown off these photos before. Seems these are promo shots from the show "Facts Of Life" where Lyon Estates has mentioned on another thread that this actor wore that jacket on the show. Here's all the photos I found with him wearing the jacket, plus episode screengrabs.

Not long ago I also shared on another thread that the jacket also appeared on the show "The Twilight Zone (1985)"
(Thanks to a Facebook user who goes by @fluxingwithpower)

I also thought I saw the jacket in a Madonna music video from 1984, but it's the same similar style with different pockets that you see online occasionally. The jacket still looks super cool though, and the way he wears it inside out with the GUESS logo on the back is interesting to say the least. Might try wearing my Guess jacket like that..

There are apparently other appearances of the jacket out there, such as another TV show and a 7-Eleven commercial from the 80s, but I haven't been able to confirm them yet.

So I was doing some searching online for any more appearances of Marty's jacket, and I came across another replica that was made in Japan (but it's not Headgoonies). Seems to be made by "orSlow" (Full jacket name - 'orSlow × BEAMS / Bespoke Martys Denim Blouson Jacket Marty McFly')
Product Number - 11-18-5471-611

Strange how I haven't seen any one mention the existence of this replica before. It's not super accurate like Headgoonies, but I would say it's better than the others out there.

Marty's attire seems have much audience in Japan. Nice.
 
Some heartbreaking news. Someone on Reddit found out who had won Marty’s jacket but she’s lost it along her house due to hurricane Katrina…

What proof is there that she actually owned it?
I’m getting that right now.

I should have a picture of her in the jacket soon to prove it.

The thing to remember is that until we see the picture, it’s entirely possible that the jacket she received was some random jean jacket with the words “Back to the Future” written on it.

Stay tuned.
