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

I'd still like to see the shots that were originally in what (I suppose) was Wolverine's house? Not the hotel or her apartment, but his own house....The katana on the rack on the wall seem to indicate that....And his sitting down and drinking/smoking as well......I can see why they changed it, but I'd like to see the original way it was scripted as well....Looked cool from the initial photos...

I may be the only one here besides Dan who has one that fits correctly but if you've worn a levi denim jacket, the sleeves are a bit slimmer on that one compared to the Lang.

I found this: http://screenrant.com/xmen-days-future-past-movie-easter-eggs-trivia-comic/
"Hugh Jackan’s Wolverine may have left a love behind when he returned from Japan at the end of The Wolverine (2013), but he was apparently fond of more than a woman. Jackman had teased prior to the film’s reveal that eagle-eyed fans should take a close look at his [1973] apartment, and at first glance, his past is evident. Closer inspection will have to wait for a home video release, but the samurai swords and photo of Mount Fuji adorning his walls are a clear sign of honoring the character’s new history. Not to mention the brown, yellow and white striped curtains paying homage to his classic costumes."


I don't like how the quote makes it sound like the apartment scene takes place AFTER The Wolverine though. My guess is it is all souvienirs from Japan are from either his time spent there in WW2 or some time after.

Hey forum.

As a newbie here, please forgive me for making the typical newbie mistakes.

To that, I've gone through most of the entire Wolverine thread and haven't come across this yet, and was hoping I could get a little guidance or at least a point in the right direction. Maybe a link to a discussion I might be missing? That might be all I need to get rolling.

I'll be obtaining a Wolverine Jacket for my first Comic Con and first ever Cosplay in October's NYC show. While I have fair to moderate experience in distressing and working with leather, I'd like to know, specific to this particular character jacket, if anyone can offer some pointers in the distressing and weathering-specifically in which to match the Hero Jacket from X-Men (1).

General knowledge what was used on set, what might work in place of that, or even what some of the current replica Jacket owners have used with sucess and their opinions. I'm going to attempt an exact match of the distressing to the screen-worn Jacket (of which I'm fortunate to have very detailed, High Res images of ), so any advice, even JUST advice, would be helpful and very much appreciated.

I AM looking to gain a hand in some specific areas aside from a recommended approach if anyone can assist. For instance, advice on bunching up the inner forearm crease areas around the stripes (accordion creasing), and what I should use to dull down the yellows to that almost dark honey amber.

Thanks in advance. The leather is competition weight cowhide.

I apologize if this is old territory. I'm sort of playing catch up.


Best,

W.

First we need to know what the leather is like. Is it thin fashion leather or is it thick, heavy biker grade stuff? Pics would help. To dull down the stripes or wear away at some of the high spots (above the pockets), use rubbing alcohol and a rag. To get those sleeve wrinkles, I'd wear it in the shower until it is soaking wet and let it air dry on you while bending your arms. But again, we don't know what kind of jacket this is...

Rick the owner, had the screen used jacket in his hands and posted some pictures of the jacket on the forum. And there's quite a few different threads on there for various ways of distressing leather jackets.
