So I got off the phone with the tailor and she said she is getting just a thicker denim with the same color.
New McFly jean jacket replica!

I would take everything back and find a better tailor, she obviously has never done anything like this before...
No she needed new blue fabric for the shoulder pieces because the pieces I supplied her were too thin apparently. I got them from a real Guess jacket and it didn't feel thin to me, but she's been a tailor for 20 something years.

Removing fabric and replacing it with a different kind shouldn't be too hard. If it comes out badly I will take it somewhere else.

Any updates on your jacket?!
Sadly no. I called her last week and she said she would call me when it's done. I will call her at the end of the week and get an exact status update on it. Her initial estimate on it was two weeks. That was almost 3 months ago.

I see. Just thought I'd check in, to see how things were going with it. Hopefully you get it back soon! It has been a while with her.

I honestly just keep forgetting to call them. They aren't open on Mondays, so I will call them tomorrow.
I called them and didn't get an answer. I'm having my fiance go there and just take it from them if it's not done.

Good plan. It's been there far to long. Get someone else to do it, if it's not finished.
I've tried sourcing materials for a scratch made jacket. Almost impossible unless you have access to a lot of stonewashed denim you can see in person.
Hello there,
I just made a account to inform you guys that Max Cady's offers now a new and great BTTF denim jacket. I ordered it with the checkered shirt replica (Large, both are International Size compared to the Down Vest they offer on their site) and got it today.
The jacket is quite heavy but was worth the price. If requested, I can post some pictures as well.

Miles, YES, pics please - thank you!

It's kind of a shame that they didn't take the opportunity to modify the grey fabric. The real jacket is stonewashed blue.
Thanks for the pictures. Do you have any of the front and back of the jacket please?!
I'll post some pictures later on.
I can agree somewhat. But on the other hand it's quite depending on the lightning, like in the movies. In general the denim jacket needed to be a bit more lighter, otherwise it's a fine piece for $200. This is Max Cady's second version of the jacket (you can see the first one on the Down Vest-pics) and as far I'm concerned about the colourization at the newer model I really don't mind it to be honest. Compared to the Headgoonie jacket which costs the double of this one it's actually a nice jacket to have. Everyone can bleach the colours a bit out if you would like to have it more screen accurate. And even then it's highly debatable because in different promo pics it rather looks more like a second jacket in dark greyish or even light greyish.
I guess I'm fine with the purchase.
Edit: And for comparisons sake: Here is a picture from their older denim jacket.

Did you get the vest too? I'd love to see pics of the vest, from what I saw on the website, the color looks too red...
