About this deal

Back to the Future Part 2 imagined plenty of crazy inventions for its vision of the year 2015, and effects like Marty McFly's auto-adjusting jacket were achieved without the use of CGI. Online bids shall be made in accordance with and subject to the terms of the online auction platform access provider. It has to be said, that no matter how advanced the technology is, there are still no flying cars around. Many of the questions are relevant in any era, for example, would we really go back to the past or travel to the future? Biff actually dresses rather “normal” for the era, though he stands out for his boisterous character and sheer Kingpin-like aura.

The sleeves are made of twill fabric instead of rubber, since rubber is very uncomfortable to wear and will degrade over time. The first movie offers an insight into the 50’s with all costumes and period accessories and architecture included. BTTF did a great job and since it didn’t go too crazy (note the lack of flat caps, which if included would just be inaccurate), it comes off as classic and actually wearable. A slim red vertical-abstract design tie is done with a white point collar (spearpoints grew out of favor by the late 40s) and a fun tie bar.Bidders are aware that description revisions may occur on some Lots, and should inquire before the Auction whether any description revisions have occurred on a given Lot and/or examine a lot before bidding on it. In fact, this vibe not only informs some of the looks you can see at Inspiration LA, but I’ve seen more and more guys get into it in the bigger menswear community (like with Bryceland’s). He added: "The SDJ-01, like other wearable tech, is meant to solve a problem and make our lives easier. The Kickstarter claims that the jacket can dry itself in only a minute with "noticeable drying effects" after 30 seconds. The wide cut may be inspired by the zoot suit (Marty does reference it in the film, but zoot suits were more of a 40s thing IIRC), but he rocks it all the same.

What we do see is that it has a slightly lazy (or fishmouth) peak lapel (not quite a Tautz one imo) and has a bold black/grey weave that isn’t quite houndsooth or guncheck.

Now this was done back in the day, but based on photos and illustrations, sport collars were definitely best worn open. I should also note that an 18/20 is going to fit closer to a modern XS/fitted small than a medium or large.

com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.

Bidders are encouraged to inspect Lots and satisfying themselves as to condition before bidding, taking independent professional advice where required. Make a pocket for the battery holder from some scrap fabric and sew it inside the jacket where it seems comfortable.
