Hey guys,
This thread caught my eyes, very interesting.
I actually own two class-5 vests. One is exact same as Marty (burnt orange, size M) which is I’m hanging in a showcase and another one is same shape but in green color. (size M too) I am pretty sure that Michael J Fox was wearing size M in the movie, because as you guys are mentioning smaller size which is “S” doesn’t have a line of stitch at the top and the width between the top stitch and shoulder in “L” is slightly wider than size M has. Also, I am almost same height with Michael; wearing the green one in daily and it’s perfect sizing for me.
The vest is obviously one of my best BTTF piece, so I don’t even touch it. Therefore if there is a great replica that I can wear would be great. I know two Japanese companies also have made replicas, but I could spot some things not quite well, especially the color people are discussing here.
So I’m curious if Indy Magnoli or the Japanese company can produce a better one with a better pattern. That would be great if the pattern is based on M. I don’t want to scrap even my green one to measure, but I can scan every single parts on a flat surface in a real size. (my only concern is that if the shape, for example pockets are copyrighted, because Class-5 is still existing today. Does anyone know? I’ll research on that though.) For the color, I can spot pantone with the orange vest if you need.
Send me a private message if anyone is interested in working on it together. I’m not thinking to make money to do it, but if the maker can give me a finished sample vest would be just wonderful enough.
