Wolverine all day baby! Jackets, belts, claws, oh my.

The thing I find funny is that the original Wolvie jacket is a 60's-70's style leather jacket. It would've been fine leaving it the same. A man who has worn the same jacket for 50 years would bd pretty cool.

You're definitely not the only one who thinks this is odd. It's the production team including Singer who want to solidify the 70's feel with the clothes. Remembering that the costume is part of the character and should reflect the times, but at the same token Logan character doesn't really apply to this film idealogy either with the constant change of times but lack of aging. It's almost like Logan keeps up with the fashion and seems like a fashionista in the end instead of a gruff mutant who ages slowly and would give two $hits about the latest trends from Milan.

And about another inexpensive vendor....
Not out of the realm of possiblity. Choices will be available in the near future...

More to follow as it arrives.

Update on the DOFP jacket with Dan in an email he sent me.

"Will definitely be doing the jacket, just don't know when real production runs will be ready...the adjustments off the prototype were the easy part, but waiting on the right leather is the hard part at the vanson side, and a consistent over seas supplier on the other side is sketchy too. I hope to have one solid option worked out in the next two months though.


thanks,
Dan"

@Comedian03 Took me max 6 months for my Origins jacket from start to finish. I think you got the short end of the stick there. I've had no problems besides almost no communication, you just have to have faith.

Great at update will have to keep an eye out

I didn't get the short end of the stick, I've never dealt with Dan. I'm basing my opinion on the way he conducts business over on FJ.com, there's people over there who have been waiting 1-2 years for their jackets, who have no idea where there jackets are, when to expect them, or if they're even going to show up, every once in a while they're told their jacket is shipping in the next week, and then nothing. Sorry but handing over $500+ to someone who has that bad of a track record, I'd need a little more than faith lol
His work is amazing, I'll give him that, but the way he conducts business and treats his costumers, is garbage I'm sorry to say. But let's not get this thread too far off track, I don't want to make it seem like I've got some sort of personal vendetta against Dan lol I just hate seeing people treating their customers that way.

Having just dealt with Dan for the last two jackets, I can only wonder what those people went through....(And why you felt the need to repeat their problems here, since it's "off topic", and not first hand experience...)..
I had a 5 month wait, decent communication (regular emails each month more or less...More if I wanted to get in the "way" of his work), and no complaints at all..That's my first hand experience of working with Dan....So perhaps THAT should be where we "get this topic back on course" eh?

I felt the need to repeat their experiences here because there's a lot of people on here who are in the market for these jackets, and if I was going to fork out that much money for a product, from ANY company, I'd want to know some of the experiences people have had with that company, good or bad. Some people have decent experiences with Dan, but just as many people are extremely unhappy with the way he conducts business, and I think the people considering purchasing from him have the right to know what they're potentially getting into.

 

[fifthchamber]

Fair enough....

I have a small issue with you saying it, since you haven't dealt with Dan yourself...Which means it's just hearsay....But I've read the posts on filmjackets, and I still made the choice to go with Dan, so..I suspect most of those doing so would agree with me, that it's entirely worth the patience and money...

My issue was with the second hand repeating of information.....Dan's a good guy, his jackets are the best, and while he can't email everyday, he does what he can, and if left to work, will get the best jacket on the market out to you in reasonable time....In my first hand experience.

If people want to go over the filmjackets posts, they can do so there, surely? Just as I did........You have issues with Dan? Fine, but you've not ordered from him, so that's really where it ends on that count....I feel....There have been a couple of your posts where you come on and just point out that you wouldn't order from Dan....I think that's what I don't agree with.....You don't want to, you haven't..End of. Other people might/do/have and have different experiences....Mine was entirely positive...

Let's not get bogged down on this one though...If you like Dan's jackets, have a look on filmjackets, be aware that he does a LOT of it by hand, and that he's a busy man, and also that you're paying for the best Wolverine jacket on the market, and getting one that WILL last several lifetimes, and that I (and others) can stand by and say "Dan's the best"...And then make your OWN choice people.....Dan's good...But he's still just ONE Dan.....LOL....(I think....Unless he's replicating himself and deliberately NOT working harder...LOL)

People can read the posts on FJ.com for themselves sure, but you're assuming that everyone who is a member here, is also a member over there, which isn't true, I'm sure there are quite a few members on here who aren't members over there, not to mention the people who don't even register on either site, and are merely brought here by Google. I don't have issues with Dan, read my original post, where did I say I have an issue with Dan? I said I have an issue with the way he conducts his business.

Complaining about me relaying second hand information is just ridiculous and moronic. If you hear something good about a company, you'd surely relay the information, correct? So it's ok for people to repeat good things they hear about a company, but heaven-forbid you hear something negative and repeat it.

If you don't like what I have to say about Dan's business, well that's unfortunate for you, because luckily we live in a world where people can openly express their opinions towards something. Such a wonderful world we live in isn't it? So let's not bog down this thread with any more pointless and ignorant posts, I've said all I had to say, anything more would simply be me shaking my head and repeating myself.

 

[fifthchamber]

I don't have an issue with you posting your opinion.. I have an issue with you posting your opinion as if it were first hand experience..

It's not..

You've not dealt with Dan, and had to be prompted to supply that information.. That's not decent..

As for me complaining about your post, I'm not worried about your posting, just your attitude... And my opinion doesn't need to bother you anymore than yours bothers me...

Just, keep it open and honest about what YOU know regarding Dan, which is, as far as I can see? Not a lot at all...

Again, if you heard something good about a company, you'd surely repeat the information, right? So how come if I hear something bad about a company, I can't repeat it? Bit of a double-standard isn't it? You guys are all so head-over heels for Dan and his products, that you can't stand it when someone actually brings up a valid argument about his business.

See, here I am, shaking my head, and repeating myself.

 

[fifthchamber]

You can repeat it.. Just make sure everyone knows it's not your firsthand experience..

You didn't say that until prompted by comonbub...

I love how you can't even give a valid response to my question, because somewhere in your clouded mind, you know you're just making it a double-standard by sayign that a person can repeat good experiences about a company, but not bad ones.

I give up, I'm just gonna go find my dog and argue with him about this instead, I have a feeling I'll have a better chance of getting more intelligent and less one-sided responses from him.

 

[fifthchamber]

Not at all.. I said.. It's entirely fair enough to repeat it, just say you're repeating it, say it's secondhand information.. That's the point.. You didn't.. Until pushed by someone else..

As for me and my good experiences? Those are all first hand, and as such, are a little more relevant than your negative ones from someone else...

Playing with your dog might be a wiser thing to do.. You're clearly missing the points I've made about your posts..

I think it is fair enough to say that EVERY jacket vendor has mixed reviews. I have noticed that Vanson's reviews have been good for the past few years, I think the negative reviews were mainly where Dan wasn't as "established". Just what I have seen, not saying he may get negative reviews from time to time, but what I have heard recently has been good. It is good to hear both sides though. I do agree that it should have been more clear that it wasn’t a firsthand experience from the beginning, but no harm done so it’s fine. I have not had firsthand experience with any other vendor besides wolverinejacket.com, I have sent a few emails to Heron and never heard back so I gave up there. lol


Personally, I'm really considering a Vanson X-1 if I can save enough this summer. The main reason I didn't get my X-O from Vanson was the wait, money, and what I have heard about communication (which is what I think Comedian is referring to). That being said the X-1 is my personal favorite, so it is the one that I'm willing to invest the most money in and if the wait is more than excepted I have an awesome X-O already. Just my 2 cents guys, NOT trying to contribute to any argument. It is good to discuss these things though.

Wonder if anyone on here has done, or plans to do a DOFP Wolverine suit? The battle jacket looks insane!!

I have a 70% accurate pattern made out, not very many images of the back so far. It wont be exactly like the film's but it will be easily recognizable as the one in the film. The under jacket is a mystery so far just like the back of his "vest armor" I hope to find more pics before the premiere. The pattern itself is still a WIP though

You'd probably be best to wait after the bluray comes out. I'm sure they'll have what it looks like underneathe in concept art.

 

[wolfman10]

Hopefully, we will see a shot of the shirt without the armor in the movie, promo images, or special features. I guess you guys have seen the poster, right? That showed the details of the arms of the shirt pretty well. I would like to see high res. pics of the promo pictures they used in the recent Ink Master episode. They had a cool one of future Wolverine.

 

[JLeezy23]

Yeah ive got a boatload of EVA foam so one draft armor will work for now lol. Maybe a dark blue compression shirt then add some yellow mesh just until the full details are revealed. Should work for now

His boots look pretty crazy

[comonbub]

WOOOOOW, he looks like he's covered in riot armor. Kneepads, shinpads, and boot covers with tactical pants stuffed underneath. Looks like an Arkham get up.

 

[JLeezy23]

Elbow pads too?
