Hi guys, I've been a long time lurker of the thread and have made only a few posts recently. Anyway, just thought I'd share some of the things that I've bought that are on the way.
The Jean Jacket

This is a 60s Big E jacket from Levi's. I think it's the closest you can find to the one in the movie. There are no side pockets in the front, no label stitching visible on the back (as seen in the movie), and brass buttons! Most importantly though, I think the color is just right, and I've compared this to photos from the golden closet, as well as photos taken on set. I've seen a couple that are similar to this, although one did not ship to my region, and the other was in slightly worse condition albeit cheaper. If anyone is still interested, do feel free to drop me a note and I'll be more than happy to assist!
The Watch
I have to admit that the watch is perhaps singlehandedly the most difficult and costliest item to find, and I'm sure plenty here will agree. I even had a replica watchmaker take a look at a photo of the PP and laugh it off as a joke. Oh well, I eventually settled on this gem that I won a few days ago on the bay. I figured that since I was looking to get a similar watch anyway, why not get one that I might hang on to once this Drive craze ends (when it does).
The Rabbit Foot
Nothing much to see here, as these are really common. I'm guessing that the chain is gold in the movie, though.
I've also ordered the Max Raws in size 34, seeing as they run small and I wear 32. Still considering whether to make a move on the Madisons that I posted here awhile ago
Stacy Adams Madison 00015 Men's - Taupe Kidskin Leather
as well as the Levis deadstock henleys (although I will most certainly wait to see what Indy has to offer here!),
UNIONMADE - Levi's Vintage Clothing - 1920s S/S Tee Milk White
and the Trafalgar 'Rivergate' Leather Belt that BatCountry00 posted looks pretty good! I might pick it over the reversible Torino belt. Anyway, that's about it from me for now. I'm trying to get Driver's denim on denim look out of the way before deciding whether to get the Scorpion jacket. I bought one from Steady last year and had to send it back because of poor fitting and that was after waiting for 3 months. I decided to get a refund instead of waiting for another pair. Might have a look at Indy's version considering all the good reviews so far.
