    Bruce got the juice - Bruce Willis' Jacket

    I'm sure it's his own jacket now. And it would seem, the jacket is older than the man. I think that strong crease is the jacket's, rather than his. Although, I guess it would be very interesting to see pics of BW wearing this jacket before the film was made... considering this thread. A...

    Bruce got the juice - Bruce Willis' Jacket

    I thought it looked familiar- I used to own one. It's not all my work, a colleague sent me some the pics I used, above. I think some folks may have been under the impression that the movie jacket was a unique design by Mr. Nowak. Now we can see what it is. B T

    Bruce got the juice - Bruce Willis' Jacket

    Found it! http://www.poohbang.com/2009/06/californian-horsehide-jacket.html And the owner is an FL member. Californian, by California Sportswear. This is the label, I believe, from a different garment: http://www.vintagetrends.com/thumbnails_/lot/850/850-0010.jpg Someone correct me...

    Yes, I was sure you had seen it before- it was for the benefit of the others, who may be interested. I don't know about foreign sales- but we're all European- well. most of us who live in Europe. Should do. B T

    That doesn't really follow at all- Here's a different but similar jacket, Californian, by California Sportswear, of similar vintage to the one being disgusted: Wear and patination in a leather jacket is a unique and wonderful phenomenon. I'm thinking the film jacket is...

    Period Short Waist Half-Belt

    Maybe just a thought. I've had a few Canadian jackets in the past- some, even with labels. But you do see jackets turning up in the 'States, that don't -quite- look like typical American fare- sometimes a little oddball, within the context of N.American vintage. Of course you see the odd one...
