I wore mine out on Saturday afternoon in Birmingham and got asked about it by a cool guy in Selfridges. I was pretty happy someone recognized it!

Hi Guys,
So I had always want my copy of the Gosling jacket but Indy's jacket was just little too much for my wallet. Screening through eBay listings last week and this one popped into my eyes. Unlike most of other shady dealers this one has some real product pictures and they looked not bad (at least not that orange scorpion on back of snow white thing). Asked the seller some questions and got replied fast, finally wanna give this guy a try.
The jacket was shipped from N. Hollywood and it arrived next day. I ordered a size S and it fits very well. Like the fabric and craftsmanship, wway better than I expected. Here are some pictures I just took. The first pictures were eBay pictures I borrowed.

the scorpion (note the tail is same as the original one from 1964 movice Scorpion Rising)
the embroidery
Collar
Cuff detail
only one chest pocket though
the stitches looks pretty solid IMO
Not a bad deal for 100 bucks.

@ SpinningElbow81, good find! There are a few dissimilarities but nothing near some of those other ebay jackets, good find!
I wore my driver costume the other night minus the levi's jacket and shades. I got a few compliments but most people didn't know who I was, which means its still pretty much a cult film which I'm happy about. Then I heard some people say they thought the costume was awesome but the movie was horrible... It never even crossed my mind that people could find the movie bad, just never thought about it.
Anyways, my Stacy Adams Madison boots came today that I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I bought the steel grey ones as I thought the white ones were too dressy. Overall the boots are really cool, they look and feel great!
However I could already see a few scuff marks on them, very minor ones, but still there even before I wore them, so obviously these are gonna look well-used in a few weeks. As you can see in one of the pictures, the sole is 100% leather besides the heel being capped with rubber. This would equal death if I wore them in winter. I live in Winnipeg which is infamous for its brutal winters, and even wearing them indoors I can feel the lack of grip. These are mainly summer/dry season-type dress boots, so I shall treat them as such.

That jacket is actually really nice!
Also, loving the Stacy Adam's! Too bad the taupe boots are so rare.

Wore my Drive jacket at work yesterday and no one had any idea who I was or what it was from. Oh well.

Now that halloween is over, if anyone has a steady in size Medium or large they want to get rid of, PM me! ;-)
Damn shame, it happens though.
About to add another authentic item to my costume. Halloween may be over but the hunt is not.

ElijahMan I know exactly what you mean, I have been wearing my boots fairly regularly because they look so good and are very comfortable but even in rain I'm finding my boots slipping on pavement, God knows how slippy they'd be in snow :S

Can anyone say if there are any differences, major or minor, between the Steady jacket and SpinningElbow81's jacket on page 94? I'm working on a limited budget, and would like to save money where possible, though I'd hate to get something noticeably inferior just because I wasn't willing to spend a few extra bucks.

First of all the fabric has tiny 'stripes' to make it shiny and isn't as 'ivory' as the steady jacket - it's a tad more white. But in some lights, it will look ivory and isn't too bad at all.
The collar has a button hole which isnt on the steady version (the steady version has a popper also which isnt even on the movie jacket which is blank)
The overall jacket is close enough but it just isn't as shiny or ivory looking as the steady jacket.
That said... there are some stores on ebay that do a very close match. 'British Boutique' do one that is almost 100% and the right colour - the scorpion however leaves a little to be desired. What I would do is order one of those jackets without the scorpion and order a seperate closer scorpion from the ebay link posted a few pages back and sew it on/iron on myself. I could do the stitching over the scorpion like on the movie jacket if i was careful enough.

Thanks Shane, looking into that, though my inner perfectionist will probably convince me to get the Steady in the end.
I've also found a lead on a nice pair of white Stacy Adams; close enough, given how rare the taupe ones are. Does Ryan wear the ankle "boot" version or the regular dress shoe variant? It's hard to tell from those pictures a few pages back.
