lost boys MARKO jacket replica!

Okay, not sure if anyone wants or needs these, but I dinked around in photoshop a bit with the high res Cleo from pennywise. Here's one with the wrinkles smoothed out and the same one but where I adjusted the colors a little. I cropped them a little big so people can make their own determination where they want to crop for their own jackets.

The Jacket also uses the Border on top of the Cleo. It's a black border with three Leopards.

Great point. Are there any medium to high quality images of that part for me to clean up? I did clean up/straighten out/up res the photo you posted of the collar part, Charlie! I know you made a black/white version a while back for a template, but if someone wants to get this printed some where this version might work better.

That's awesome thank you! Does anyone have they leopard strip that goes on the back above the "Cleo"?
 
Awesome thanks! Yeah the strip I think I will have to photoshop it together by cut and pasting the leopards.
 
I was talking with another member here the other day about the multiple jackets used for filming. We know of at least two to exist. I saw this picture the other day and thought maybe this is a "third". Note the placement of the patches 13, skull and knife, and screw you. But more importantly note that the skull 13 patch is missing from the matador tapestry completely. No revelation, but interesting.

Here's my thoughts on these...

If you watch the Carasel sequence in the beginning, the 13 Skull patch was originally in a different spot. It was seemingly ripped off in the scuffle as it appears to be missing after the Boardwalk Cop breaks up the fight. It later appears over the Matador and never moves again. Perhaps that Behind the Scenes shot was from the filming of the Carousel and it was indeed accidentally ripped off?

Middle Pic: The base is not Black, rather a Dark Blue. This could be explained by Fading if the Jacket was Washed regularly, but that's highly unlikely. This one has an added "A" looking patch on the collar that is never seen in any pic of Alex wearing the Jacket. It has the Winged Wheel on the right arm at the Cuff area, which itself is only in one single shot that I've been able to identify in the Movie, but it's missing the "Repent" skull in that area. Lastly, the large "13" patch is tucked under the others instead of over.

The Bottom Pic: This is made on a Blue base. It is missing the Flame Winged Skull on the bottom left under the Outlaw patch. It has the Extra Winged Wheel on the Cuff. It has the wrong Matador from the Reversed Tapestry. The 13 Skull is in the wrong location. It has the Reversed Peacock. The 13 Patch is under the others, not over.

That being said, they are both extremely well made. It is entirely possible that these were used in the movie as I've heard it reported there were anywhere from 4 to 6 Jackets used in filming for the Hero and Stunt jackets.

The Reverse Matadors are most certainly the Stunt Jackets, as there's not one scene or publicity photo of Alex in the Reversed Matador jacket. It's hard to believe they made every Jacket exactly the same, so some slight variations probably exist. This could include different Colors of Jackets especially for the Stunt jackets as most of the Stunts involved far off shots at night in the Motorcycle scenes.

Overall, this kinda stuff is fascinating to me. I love looking at pics of these jackets, and pics of other's Replicas even if they are Work in Progress pics. It's all SO good to see and to speculate on.

Ahh very interesting. Both of the jackets I posted were from the Warner Brothers auction jacket and listed as size 40 BLACK. You can still find the link to those auctions on the internet. Are you saying some were blue and some were black, or the Hero was blue and the stunts was black?

I'm not sure, I'm speculating. You can definitely tell in the movie that the Jacket Alex wore was black. There are several close up shots which you see the Collar is black. Also, there's a spot on the right arm where the Lepard & Matador part ends, and it's bare Jean material from there to the shoulder.

If you have the actual link I'd love to see it. Does it say how they went for?

I have some other photos of the jacket with the "A" patch where you can see that the jacket is definitely black. I don't remember where I yanked these photos from though.

Yes, I believe those were taken by the person who bought the jacket in the picture I posted. They went for thousands of dollars but the exact number was never discussed.

It's interesting you bring up the reverse matador, because it's just the matador from the other end of the tapestry. I've circled them here. Alex's jacket uses the one on the left and the stunt jackets use the guy on the right, I guess! Also, sorry my tapestry is sliced up here, I couldn't find my pic from when it was still whole.

Edit: oh the stunt ones are also reversed in addition to using the other matador.

You have to realize you can't go by colors of old film because that can be very deceiving. Look at this squid skirt for example, it appears pink but we know they were orange.

Oh jeez, I'm about to go matador crazy. I've just realized these two jackets use the different matadors
