Fight Club Tyler Durden T-shirts?

[smirkingrevenge]

I have Soul Revolvers and a couple made by JAL, one of which is a custom colour. I can tell you that Soul Revolvers is very close to the JAL although there are some slight differences in the style. The sleeves are nicer on the JAL as they taper on your forearm and flare at the cuff. The Soul Revolver is the same width for the whole sleeve. Also, it is worth remembering that the JAL is a 90s jacket, it's not fitted. The Soul Revolver is a more modern style, more fitted. So it's more about preference. I only have JAL's because he made them for the film and It's as close as you can get to the real deal. But I wear my Soul Revolver more. Hope this helps.

Max Cady's jacket is very nice, and he can also make it in different colors. I'm also going to be working with Magnoli over the next year as he is also interested in making one. So that would be another option once it's completed.

We have said ebay is the best option but as that is not available to you, i think you should just buy a pair of max cadys boots they are the best replacement option hoping we have finally answered your question

I concur with this. I have a pair of both and the Max Cady ones are really good.

Who, me?

Yeah

 

[smirkingrevenge]

Yes, that’s right. He did.

 

[Tyler564]

I don't think so because the jacket does not have a trademark. Moreover, Michael Kaplan is the one who made the jacket. It was made specifically for the movie.

 

[Tyler564]

I don't know if JAL provided a jacket for the film and it was not used or was left out

 

[Tyler564]

I researched this topic last year and watched the movie late

 

[smirkingrevenge]

Yeah, well your research is wrong. The Jacket doesn't have a label because it's a custom piece. Jonathan A Logan is one of the most respected leather tailors in the business. I can assure you that he did make both of the red leather jackets in the film because that's his job. Some of us have seen the patterns and the signed pictures to him from Pitt wearing the jacket. Trust me, I've been researching this for over 20 years.

Michael Kaplan designed the jacket. He didn't make the ones used in the film. He may have made a prototype.

I respect your opinion, but,If JAL really designed the jacket, why don't they use the same designs, colors, and buttons that they used in the movie?

Could Michael Kaplan make the jacket that Brad Pitt wore?

 

[smirkingrevenge]

I don't know. How good are his sewing skills?

Kaplan gave Logan samples of various jackets. Logan made the final product. The jacket was painted on set everyday because the red was too bright. The buttons he uses on the replicas now are very similar and the lining is the same. Black Cherry.

There is no debating it mate, he made the jackets pure and simple. This jacket was designed in 1998, it went though changes in the design process while the film was being shot. It's exact, with the exception of the pocket placement. They're just in a more practical place which is about an inch further back so they sit flush on the back stitching.

 

[Tyler564]

But I see that there is a difference between the two jackets

JACKET WORN BY BRAD PITT

 

[Tyler564]

I really respect your opinion, I respect everyone's opinion, everyone is free to express their opinion, but I think that Michael Kaplan is the only person who can answer our questions.

 

[smirkingrevenge]

It's not an opinion it's fact. The top two pictures you just posted are mine. It's the same jacket and it's about 2 days old. Brand new. the rest of the pictures are of different jackets and very different time periods. it's been kept in storage for a long time and was purposely distressed becasue it had to look 30 years old. Most of those picture where the jacket is being displayed is a screen used one., and the other one is a stunt/publicity jacket that was auctioned in 2020 (or something, I don't remember when). But they were all made my Jonathan, including the one of mine.

 

[smirkingrevenge]

All these jackets are made by Jonathan and they're all identical but the pictures are in different lighting conditions with filters and the jackets are different ages and distress. I have 4. They're all slightly different in shade.
