DRIVE (2011) Scorpion Satin Jacket

RodStar said:
I ordered from the first run of production and noticed that the 'ribbed' cuffs and collars wern't so ribbed afterall. In the pictures they look ribbed and present a false representation of the actual product. I emailed and they have said that the early runs had 1x1 ribbing and the latest have 2x1. I don't know how much of a difference this will make but it's annoying that i didn't get it on the first run. I paid around £130 for this jacket and i should have got a better product imo. It's also alot more gold looking than in the film. In the film it looks almost white throughout.

Just a question. If i took the jacket to a tailor could they put better material o the cuffs and collar like from the film?

Definitely looks as though they have altered the ribbing on the jacket.

These pics show the two Steady versions and the screen jacket which has an uneven, wide ribbed pattern.
 
Also noticed that the film jacket uses a lightly ribbed material like that used in the original steady jacket within the shoulder vents and the wide ribbed material on the collar and cuffs.

Wonder if the 2nd generation steady jacket uses the 2x1 ribbed material throughout?

A few people also mentioned about the Steady version being stitched at the top of the shoulder when the film jacket is not and where intending on unstitching it.

Looking at some shots from the movie the shoulder on the film jacket looks to be stitched at least 2 inches across the top of the shoulder.

Noticed one slightly odd thing about the steady jacket:
The white "flap above the brown area has been sewn down along the sleeve, just around the top. I'm assuming that this was done to compensate for the sleeve pulling on the thinner brown material, but I'm still tempted to take a seam ripper to it for accuracie's sake.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I ran a finger on the inside of the little tunnel that's created...the stitch seems nice and secure so if we WERE to take out that stitch, we wouldn't have to worry about the arms falling off. I just think that if you DID rip them out, eventually the arms would stretch out and it'd look like you were wearing an unfastened straight jacket.

Looks to be stitched as per the Steady jacket.

Cheers for the comments! The haircut was one where I took the 'drive hair cut' video off youtube

I also took some photos of driver and got it a bit closer.

Its a cool everyday style, plus Mr Gosling is the god of modern mens style at the minute!
 
Well I had my Stacy Adams (grey) for about 3 weeks and they already look like I have been wearing them for a year... they wear pretty easely and they make funny noises sometimes... But they look so cool that I don't care and wear them everywhere with my ACNE jeans! I wish they start producing the taupe color again.. I don't realy get why they stopped, I see taupe and tanned color boots all over the market in othe brands so its weared. I will likely buy another pair when this one gets to beatten.

I see that you're in Mtl as well. How awkward would it be to see you in the streets with the same outfit. haha:lol

haha yes but I don't have the Drive jacket.. and my jean jacked is a G-Star (tailored).. couldn't find the actual Levi's trucker jacket here in Canada as they don't sell it here.. just in the US and you can't even order it online so.. I don't really want to look exactly like Driver in the movie but I adopted the look..

I will likely buy the soon to come Indi jacket from Magnoli Clothiers.. I would have it made with black trims and no Scorpion ..
