More pics of the prototype we've been shown.
Headgoonie Back to the Future 40th Anniversary Denim Jacket
- Thread starter MitasTouch
- Start date
Conversation updates. Looks like they will attempt to lighten the main parts. And darken the blue it seems. Which is good because the 2021 jacket had a darker blue than this sample jacket and it was 99% to the real thing.
Preorders start this weekend. And looks like I will be shown the new prototype a bit before they release photos to the public.

Does anyone know if the pre-orders are cancellable if we’re unhappy with the final production photos?
I forgot to bring this up to him last night so I just messaged him. I'll post his reply when I get it.
I just read their latest blog post. Seems we won't see a final sample at the time preorders open and we have to wait. A bit unfortunate because we won't be able to see if the fixes to the color have been done.

This is somewhat worrisome. I understand they need to see a return on their investment and plan for production and materials, but we run the risk of handing over cash for what may end up being an inaccurate final product. If anything, a deposit might seem fairer, with a deductable % If you later cancel.
I'm going to wait until I see what it looks like. I can't take that big of a risk for something I might not feel is worth it.

They seem convinced that having the jackets delivered by October 21 is really important to somebody. I don’t know who.

I wouldn't understand why. July 5th is the anniversary of the theatrical release of the first film, which is when I wanted a jacket, and November 5th is the first successful temporal displacement. The 21st is a Part II thing.

Maybe the buttons are low on the real one on purpose? Mine are also far down.

Exact placement of the snaps varies jacket to jacket. But we are replicating a movie prop so accuracy matters.

I was thinking about how Miki was talking about the colors having to either be both dark or both light. What if they slightly prefade the main denim so that, when assembled and finally washed, the gray looks sufficiently light?

I'm probably stating the obvious in this forum, but October 21st is considered 'Back to the future day'. Now I get the relevance, but I'm pretty sure none of us are that precious having already waited this long. Id sooner it was perfect and released at Christmas (for instance). I invited them to the forum but have had no response thus far...
