Looked EVERYWHERE...can NOT find this specific jacket

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

First off, I would like to say hello as a new member to this board!  I've been a long time lurker, and a lot of the threads here are great to read and have definitely helped steer some of my wardrobe choices. 

 

Folks, I've hit a damn brick wall in search of this coveted jacket.  I'm sure all of you have seen an article of clothing that instantly made you think "That's completely me", and you had to have it.  Well, this motorcycle/bomber jacket Jake Gyllenhaal is sporting is something that I've spent days searching for, using every possible word combo and no luck.  I figured someone on here may have seen it who is a bit more "in the know" with designer garments, or perhaps may be able to guess the manufacturer.  I HIGHLY doubt its a regular moto jacket, as its way too well designed to be a typical run of the mill sport accessory.  Also, these photos were taken around the end of 2010, so there's the possibility that jacket might not even be available.  Either way, all jackets that I try to find that even try to look close to it completely fail. 

 

To put the brakes on my essay's worth of a post, here's the jacket in question:

Here's a close up of the buckle and zipper.  I can't for the life of me read the engraving on the zipper (no matter how much Photoshop correction I use), and the buckle has a symbol, like some kind of dragonfly on it or something:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time guys.

Come to think of it, with all the research I've been doing, this might very well be a high quality Italian motorcycle jacket in suede/nubuck.  Google still isn't narrowing down anything, and we all know how obscure a lot of the more expensive and trendy clothing lines are when it comes to the internet.

I thought he wore a lot of Neil Barrett at one point, but the zipper definitely points away from that. Good luck...

Appreciate the help.  Few things I can conclude:

 

- Outer material is of a suede/nubuck type

- Inside lining is most likely some sort of vinyl/pleather

- Probably made by some obscure, high priced designer line you can't find in most stores.

 

Scorpion huh?  I'll give that a look.

Looks like my Google sleuthing finally paid off...one of the websites that photographed him last year stated it was a suede "Brioni" moto jacket.  Just talked to the rep over there in NY and he's going to do some digging...I have a very, very good feeling about this one.  The price I'm sure is going to be atrocious, but I think well worth it.
