Hey guys,

So i started a new obsession and after rewatching Dragnet, I kinda noticed something familiar...

So that got me into wanting to recreate that jacket and was wondering if anyone was up to the task to helping me figure out most of the badges.

Also I am having a hard time figuring out the type of jacket it is. It appears to be an army green/brown wool jacket but it has kinda has a motorcycle shape.
Does anyone know if there's a type of jacket like this that exists? The leopard fur on the collar, I could probably replace.

Also anyone with good behind the scenes pictures of him wearing it? I cannot seem to find anything on google.

Any help would be much appreciated :D Thanks!
 
Okay, sooo to make it slightly easier, I believe these are all the buttons from the right side of the jacket (or left if you're wearing it haha)
Please let me know if any of these blurry shapes ring a bell!

Not entirely sure, but this looks like Circle jerks, but the wording is different:
I also kinda looks like a skull, so unsure

This is also MDC but it looks to be a variant with dead cops on one line maybe...

Do you have a copy of the 4K bluray edition? I wonder what quality those images are. I looked for a screencap set from the movie but couldn't find anything.
 
I have been updating what I found in the earlier posts, but I also have found something that I cannot wait to share, it should arrive this Thursday :love:
 
Also found this, which I thought was a keychain but I guess it's also a pin.
Couldn't find one for sale either. Of course most of that stuff had to be rare haha
EDIT: FOUND IT

Ok, so here it is! I believe I have found the screenused jacket worn by Dan! I found it in the wild and I don't believe the person knew what they were selling because I got it for pretty cheap all things considered haha! I am still trying to figure out if this is truly screenused or not but I wouldn't be surprised if they made only one or two jackets for it. The leopard print is also a perfect match and this was clearly custom made. There's also a barcode from Universal, which means it was def a movie wardrobe. Also there are pin holes all over it, which coincide exactly with the pinbacks placement of the ones in the movie. I'm gagged!!!
