DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

Love those boots. I might have to get the trucker jacket, I just never really liked the style.]

Looks amazing tailored!!

Hey guys, ok so about the trucker jacket.
@ Drivr - Thanks! Actually the story on this one is crazy. I actually found it at one of these stores where wardrobe from film and tv productions are sold. I did not have the sleeves done. They were already tailored that slim when I found it, as I know there is no Levis jacket with sleeves that slim like a shirt, it was obviously done for some actor... Oddly enough I found it a few months after DRIVE had come out and was pretty excited since I was starting to put the outfit together for Halloween, as the actual Scorpion jacket from Steady was just getting underway and wasn't shipping till after Halloween (if anyone here remembers) . I had to be "Denim tuxedo" Driver..LOL.. So yeah, long story short that's how I found this bad boy.

What a story, that's awesome! :thumbsup
 
The Canadian tuxedo is a classic look when done right, and the slim fitting Levi's jacket makes it look really sharp. Its one of the main pieces with my Drive outfit, but I need to take mine to a tailors to get it fitted just right!
 
Your Levis jacket looks awsome dude! Probably a mid-eighties made jacket, if it has a small e and no slant pockets. Is it an indigo wash or darker, it looks darker to me. Does it have the extended split in the cuff, like the early sixties jackets and also Ryan's in Drive?

I also just happened to pick up a very similar small e jacket, which is exactly the same cut as my original sixties big E. Scored it at a local swap meet for 20 bucks! Fits like a glove too.

I'm not so sure on buying a Deadstock jacket, at least for a Driver build up. To me, Ryan's jacket seems to have some very minor wear and has definately been washed. Hence the blue Indigo colour of it and not the very dark pre-washed look.

JustTheDoctor, if you don't want your Taupe boots send em on over will you. They're all I need to complete my Driver get up.
 
Thanks guys! :) Appreciate the comments.

Driver- Yes it is a small e, and no slant pockets. Yes it has the extended split in the cuff. I have matched pictures and pausing the movie to just see how mine compares and it's virtually identical to Gosling's. I think I got very lucky finding that jacket by chance.
The color is pretty dead on; a very blue indigo wash. I believe Ryan's was indeed washed. I can't remember where I read it, and in what context, but I swear I read the costume designer Erin Benach said that they scuffed up and distressed his Stacy Adams boots and both his Levis jacket and Acne jeans were purposely washed and distressed as well. So yeah, you are right about that.

Ha! ;) I still want them...but..who knows I may sell my Taupe boots or even my Levis trucker at some point.. maybe... lol

All I need left (besides the Patek replica watch of course) is to finally pull the trigger on the Gaspar gloves and sadly...replace my lost Auburn Money 2.

Anybody want to let an Auburn Money 2 go...well let's talk! :)
 
Damn, that sucks about your sunnies dude! They're such cool glasses as well. Hope you can find youself another pair. Very jealous about those boots mate.

Here's my Levis small e jacket I picked up for a steal. Not bad for 20 dollars.

since we are showing off jacket i'll throw mine in as well :p
i have the arms heavily taken in to fit my arms, and flash was on so the colour is way brighter than the indigo of the jacket

Thanks man, appreciate that. I hope to get another pair again soon, and when I do I will never leave them out of my sight!! :cool
Love the jacket here! $20?! Nice find man!! Def a steal!
 
aright boys here is a good question regarding the patek rep... What would one prefer... a mineral crystal back case for the underside of the watch? like most real pateks or the metal back like the original from the movie. little would anyone else know other than yourself unless you took it off to show it off... let me know your ideals! cheers! and by the way fellas with the sick jackets- to letgit to quit... those are money.

I would go with the steel back. I assumed they went for a design that would best shout "vintage", and from what I know vintage watches usually have a closed back.
 
Definitely the steel back for the Patek replica! I would prefer it to be as accurate to the movie version as possible, at least you know that it's unique!
 
@justthedoctor yep its raw. ive been wearing it almost everyday thats why the wrinkles are there :p
@driver i would like the watch to be as close as the the one in the movie as possible so my vote is for the steel back
 
Yeah Ive definitely had some options which have made it difficult to make a final decision... Hence Im going with the closest screen used rendition as possible. Final details one wouldnt necessarily have the option of are making my mind explode. X_x
 
Hey Drivr,
So what's the deal. Are you going to let us in on your scheming? Don't bother with replicating the whole watch. All you need to have replicated is the dial and hands, if you think about it. If you go ahead with the watch let me know. I'd love a real Patek replica.
