Looking for pics of JAWS shirt worn by Cast

[chewbaccadoll]

Hope this is the correct place!

I'm looking for pics of the shirt worn on set of JAWS by Spielberg and his crew, preferably both sides.

I have some:

I also have a few nice scans from the Making Of book from Jet Beetle, which have allowed me to already create the shark image, I just wanted to know if there were pics other than the one shown here of actual cast wearing the shirt

OR

the back of the shirt.

Any help is appreciated!

The second shirt pictured is a more recent reproduction (with Marthas Vineyard on there) IIRC, but you possibly know that already?

Not sure if the backs are just blank..

Spielberg or Joe Alves might be wearing one in this shot:

Replicas are available here:

Thanks, yes I did know that.

I was told that there was a map of the Vineyard on the back, but yet to have seen pics.

I'm just looking for accuracy.

Thanks!

On the originals? Hmm..I thought they just had screen printed fronts with that Joe Alves artwork.

Might be wrong though, I will check it out for you and post again.

Nice! Thanks! Keep in mind that my source could be wrong as well.

Maybe the reprinted ones with "Martha's Vineyard under "JAWS" had the map on the back. It would make more sense.

Yeah, that would make sense.

Ive asked for you anyway, just awaiting a response - will be sure to let you know.

Kind regards,

Al

Yup, I have it confirmed the original was just blank on the back.:thumbsup

the only one I've seen in real life belonged to a friend of mine Neal Raymer - whose father Bruce Raymer worked and continues to work s as Speilberg's Lawyer (hence the Bruce name on the shark) and the one that was given to him had the map on the back - I have no idea where it came from but he's had it since they were making the movie. Official, unofficial -- your guess is as good as mine.

i Know there were some in storage at Amblin as well - but I only saw those from afar.

Sort of on topic...

Richard Dreyfuss and Jaws/Empire Strikes Back poster artist Roger Kastel will be at Chiller this month if anyone is interested.

Good luck in your quest, Kurt. I know I'd be down for a shirt.:thumbsup

Thanks guys for all of the investigative work.

Paul, did the one you saw with the map on the back say "Martha's Vineyard" under "JAWS" on the front? That might make sense and was supossedly sold in gift stores on the vineyard back when.

Another cool idea, but at least I know there was one official one with just the shark and the word JAWS.

I have already recreated this artwork and will most likely be offering it soon in the Junkyard if anyone's interested (I know Hedjii72 is!).

i don't remember that detail - it could have said it. the bottle has loosened up my thinker over the years.
