DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

[Agent RayBans]

they do not have a finished product yet??
What make you think that?

The fact that we haven't seen it. Their last few blog entries about the jacket to me have implied they are still working on the final details.

For example, 3 days ago they said "The final production sample is done at embroidery.. It looking good !! All hand made in USA !!"

Sure they might have some mock up jackets in the different sizes, but my gut still tells me that the jackets are not finalized. I mean come on, they are not waiting to ship until mid-November just because they feel like it.

But that's just my opinion, based purely on speculation. I just feel like if the jacket was done, we would know about it.

is that jacket in front of her a final Stedy finished product? I don't think its jacket from the movie they got, just look at size of it comparing the girl and a guy(Eric) standing next to it. This jacket is so small. It must be S or XS? What do you think?

In previous posts its been somewhat agreed upon that the jacket in that picture is the screen used piece. They are comparing fabrics and stitching to the real thing.

hopefully they didn't get their size chart wrong,because I believe they're will be a lot of complains in 2 months from now...

I just placed order and I decided to go with L after I measured one my jacketed
and based on what Eric said. The jacket in that pic looks so small. It wouldnt fit me at all. If thats the jacket that Ryan wore in a movie, he's actually smaller that I thought.

I hope the stitching will go on top of scorpion in a final version.

after seeing the pic, I decided to switch from xsmall to small. I mean, I'll play it safe and if it's ''too big'' I will have it tailored.

How tall you are and how much you weight? A lot of people are ordering S and XS... wont they be too small for you guys?

I'm 6 feet tall and all the jackets I own are sized small. I weigh around 165 pounds and I don't have broad shoulders. I quite skinny.

wow..... did you guys notice that they changed the measurements in the size chart? when they first released the size chart the chest for the XS was 43 now its 41. this really pisses me off

I'm starting to think I'm just going to hold out for an Indy jacket. My faith in this Steady jacket is dwindling.

Well 41 is still good for me.

As for the embroidering issue that everyone seems to be freaking out about, I'm not too worried. I mean, it's one thing to use pictures of the films jacket on their blog, but I highly doubt they'd use it for the product pictures, unless their replica is going to be exact. I mean, one of the pictures is a close up showing the detail of the embroidering and the cuffs. I just don't think they'd show that unless they knew they could replicate it.

Sure, they could just be trying to trick everyone, but do you really think they'd do that? Everyone was previously going on about how friendly they are, how quickly they respond, etc. Now all of a sudden people have lost faith in them, because of merely speculation (though the XS size going down is a valid concern).

I also noticed they changed the sizing chart. Size L is now 47" (chest) not 49" like it used to be on the 1st chart they posted. So I ordered L from the getgoretro but getgoretro still have old sizing chart. I really hope L is 47" as it stated now on steadyclothing.
Do you guys think they measure something wrong?

When it comes to the stitching over scorpion, I emailed steadyclothing about that.

Maybe they made a mistake on the numbers of first size chart and decided to quickly fix it without telling anyone when they released the 2nd one with the picture of the jacket and measurements. Just my guess.

Also, thanks for emailing steady about the stitching/embroidering. Was concerned about that myself.

I told everyone you need to go with Medium or Large, the xsmall and small aren't gonna fit. Remember this is what eric told me, especially if your 6ft or taller.

 

[madmandee]

Especially now that you see them changing the measurements. Eric told me Ryan Gosling was a small dude, and if there using one of his jackets in that picture to compare everything to his jacket in the movie you need to go with a bigger size.

Forget the scorpion embroidery. Look at how shiny that silver fabric is!! That looks totally different then the finish on the jackets seen on screen. Weathered or not.

Maybe thats just the other side of the fabric that's why it's so shiny. Also, look at the fabric on the bottom right, it look pretty close to the jacket and not as shiny.

if this is true, then all the photos steady has shown us are of the actual jacket from the movie. I really hope this is not the case.

I thought the same thing. i DEFINITELY hope this is not the case :darnkids

 

[corso]

or perhaps, they are just comparing different fabrics to get the closest to the one used in the original jacket

I think that they are all pictures of the original jacket from the movie. Look at top part of the claws of the scorpion and the diamond stitchings, they are exactly the same as the jacket Ryan wears in the movie

wow this guy is such a 'I told you so' acting like he had inside scoop that the measurements on the chart were incorrect. how many times are you going repeat "I told you to get M or L" what a tool.
