The Ultimate Marty McFly Jean Jacket Lining Thread

I wish better pictures existed of this, but Kurt Kobain owned this vintage shirt that was auctioned off several years ago. Brand is Saks Fifth Avenue. View attachment 1932436View attachment 1932437

This shirt seems pretty close too.

Besides it not being off-white, I have a really good feeling that's it. What is it?

Unsure, the seller put the brand as simply “vintage” but I have purchased it and will share any info when it arrives.

Theory: that's the correct fabric and the props department dyed it tan to match the Hollywood liner.

Maybe it's the correct brand, but wrong variation. The outer petals look pink.

Looks more like a reddish brown to me. Maybe if it was dyed, it darkens?

So under a similar colour grade filter to back to the future it looks dead on.

It’s also pretty common practice to “coffee wash” or “tea stain” new fabrics on movie wardrobe to give the wears a more well loved look.

Should you call it now? I think you've got it.

Ah well, it depends on whether it comes with some branding that can date it to the 1980s or earlier. Also after I give it a coffee wash how it comes out.

At very least it’s a dead ringer that I can HD scan in and make a 1:1 replica fabric (or one of you talented lot can do so).

I'd do a wash on a portion of the shirt than the whole thing, just in case.

Yeah I was going to unpick the chest pocket and use that.

Here is the brand name. Burton Menswear. I dont think its the screen used fabric though.

 

[Martymcfly2015]

Bad news: it arrived. Was indeed Burton which is way to new to be the screen used one.

This is what it looks like on a guess jacket of mine.

I have a feeling that's as close to what a period-correct version of the Paisley would look like.
