What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[JCLO]

Nice jacket , I do remember the A2 from the movie I posted about it a while back in the photo gallery section
There’s apparently a really good painter in my area who does motorcycle tanks and jackets
I just gotta find his number to turn my A2 into a recreation

Looks like I'm caught up in a non leather related jacket of the day....I'm stuck watching Alien and I decided to wear my non screen accurate jacket. Does anyone remember the A2 worn in the film?View attachment 60301View attachment 60302

Excellent jacket and film

It was Parker who had the A-2-the rest of the cast had RAF Mk. 3 cold weather jackets, with mods. I expect we could spend ages picking it apart trying to work out what sort of A-2 it was-I can’t see a throat latch or any box stitching on the epaulettes, for instance. No doubt there are Alien-related sites which have gone into it somewhere. Modern USAF issue? Incidentally, whilst Googling, I noted that several of the cast of the (crap, admittedly) Alien 3 had N-2B’s.

I remember the N-B's. The female crewmembers had a brown quilted jacket that nobody can see to identify and Brett (Harry Dean Stanton) had a one off yellowish jacket. I went with a quilted Dickies cooler jacket in blue to draw the line between the Mk. 3 (Impossible to find in my size) and the ladies mystery quilted jackets. I have a full on beat to death modern A-2 that may get the Nostromo treatment.

From some deep googling It was apparently made by Bermans & Nathan’s an English costumer. jacket was apparently auctioned for $10,000
A few years ago , i didn’t find out if they actually made the leather jacket or just created it using an existing jacket and adding distressing
And patches.

 

[MikeyB-17]

Yeah big name in theatrical costumes. I seem to recall them being involved in another film jacket discussed here back along, might have been Raiders, or Memphis Belle, or both, dunno, slept since then.

1950s Reversible Acetate Souvenir Jacket - Dragon Tiger Falcon

This is a Yokosuka memorial jacket from the early 1950s style. It is reversible and can be worn on both sides. It depicts the dragon, tiger, and falcon on one side, and the reversible side has the roaring tiger with fangs bared.

I remember them well. I spent a great deal of time finding one in my younger days in the 80's pre service. I have long ago outgrown and let that jacket go.

Berman's & Nathan's were THE big theatrical, TV and film costumiers in London and beyond. They are now known as Angels. A trip to their place is like going into Aladdin's cave.

Decided to change things up today and take a walk wearing an original - not an A-2, but a familiar face: Monarch early ‘50s Car Coat. I’m posing in front of the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere.
