Back to the Future Guess Marciano Denim Jacket Replica

I've been waiting to see if anyone would attempt doing that, and I'm extremely glad that someone has!
I debated for a long time to be honest haha. I even had painted the leather blue for a while. I think I've had the jacket for 2 years and I was dreading taking it apart, thankfully a friend helped me out so it was a little reassuring!
 
By the way... how exactly DID you "lighten" the blue denim?
Once the jacket was completely deconstructed I used rit colour remover. I am sure I could have brighten it a lot more and dye grey if I wanted to but I had heard it could turn the colour indigo on jeans so didn't want to risk it. The blue in itself wasn't too dark to begin with tbh, barely left it for 20 min I think x)

Ohhhh you took it apart why didn't I think of that lol
 
Any versions of the jacket serves its purpose to be honest. I think we're just a crazy handful ones looking for the perfect one.
I always liked the blue ish more than the grey, as a lot of behind the scenes pictures make it appear blue tbh, but I do like the headgoonie version in grey I have, but will put it for sale now that I've finally got my holy grail xD

At least one of us has finally been satisfied lol!!
 
Contributing here to show my real Guess jacket after updating the lining and leather patches.
Re-used the buttons that were originally on the leather patches, lightened up the blue and the darker jeans was also a vintage 80s George Marciano Guess jacket, so everything is 100% Guess apart from the Hollywood and paisley lining, but really happy how it turned out!
I know it's not screen accurate to keep the Guess logo on the pocket and I am pretty sure the Hollywood lining was going across the entire back but I really wanted to keep what originally identified the Guess jacket.

I've also given a good clean on the buttons but keep forgetting how effective brasso is haha, but most of the buttons were almost pitch black so might give it a little vinegar and salt lotion to bring back the vintage brass, but I do like the clean buttons!

Ooh was it you who sold it to me a couple years back? And thank you! So happy how it turned out!

That was me haha! I had to sell it during Covid unfortunately but like I said at the time I'm so glad it went to you. It was always a little small for me so I've been keeping my eye out for one a little larger.

I still have my accurate colourway vest version which fits me perfectly. It's one of the biggest sizes I've seen, being a size 20 it fits perfectly like a modern medium. Makes it easier to know what size jacket I'm looking for, but beggars can't be choosers with these!
