It's a medium. It's the only size that lines up with what you see in the movie.

But have you seen a large though? There is a photo from the BTS I’d have to send where I would think it’s too big to a be a medium.
I'd like to see the picture. But it has been widely known as a medium for a long time. MJF is 5'4 and was quite skinny back then. A large would have gone past the jacket and looked too big.

To me, I always thought this photo showed it was a large as I have the medium and 6FT. Seemed way too small to have an image look like this:

He wore a Medium. That’s not a guess, it was established shortly after Greg Tariff discovered that it was a Class 5 vest that he wore a medium.
The fifth row of stitching only lines up on medium.
He’s also 5’4” so a large would be very large on him and why a medium looks as big as it does.
You’re basing your estimate on vibes, we’re basing it on specific details on the vest, specifically the number and location of the horizontal stitches and they ONLY match up with a medium.

Have you seen the back of a large? I thought it was the same horizontal stitches. That’s all I’m trying to confirm. Again, I own the medium so I just had a theory.
Yes. And only a medium matches the details.
You’re 6’ so your scaling is going to be wildly different and a medium and large will fit you MUCH differently than someone 8 inches shorter than you like MJF.

Got it!
I’d probably have to put the vest on a 5’4 person then. I have been on the search for a large with the size difference.
With how you made your custom vest I was curious your height too all in all, because I thought you made yourself a large too.

Isn't the "rule of thumb" that the vest should be the size up of the jacket?
For cosplay purposes yes. The screen used jacket was a size 18 which is around a Small. Making a size medium vest fit perfectly over it.

This is getting absurd.

Indy Magnoli, are the current McFly vests the same as last year, or have there been updates? Anything different planned for this 40th year anniversary?

Yes. If you read back in the thread, Magnoli is more or less completely changing the patterns based off of an actual Class-5 vest.

Also, high waisted jeans! It's going to appear to sit much lower down, thus also appear larger, on Guess jeans than on normal Levi's.

The new vest will be shown off once the jacket is complete. I assume they want to take their professional photos of both of them to post on their socials.

Hey everyone,
I’m a new-ish member, at least to comment on these related topics. However, I’ve been present and keeping up for a while now. I’ve been in contact with Nick back and forth over Insta (borderline annoying him with questions I’m sure lol). Regardless I’ve been down the rabbit hole for long enough and I’ve gone far enough to warrant coming on here to touch base with all of you, as well as share my own findings when they come up.
I’ll save my list of questions as they become relevant later on, but overall I just wanted to see if there were any substantial updates with the Magnoli vest that have been made apparent. It seems like an everyday occurrence now that I hop on eBay in hopes to see a new HG listing, but after hearing about the motion taking place at Magnoli with Midas’s donation, I’ve taken to waiting patiently for them. Hope to hear back from y’all soon, and I look forward to hopefully adding to any new threads in the near future! Thanks,

I don't have any new news yet on my jacket or the vest, but they are close to finished. The jacket needed a couple things fixed since last update. I havent heard anything about the vest but I have been told it will be done around when the jacket is.
