    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    I was looking through my old e-mails, I was contacted by a man named "Andy" from BK circa January, 2014 asking to borrow my jacket for a pattern. After some lengthy back and forth to make sure I wasn't getting scammed, I sent in my jacket and crossed my fingers that I would get it back in one...

    Toys Mccoy Durable Double Riders

    I'm looking forward to a review of that jacket if possible. It would almost be worth it if the jacket came with the option of brass hardware.

    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    Well, I sent it off for the restoration, though I did have to do some leg work to find NOS zippers and lining material. The main zipper is a replacement zipper for an M51/M65 field jacket, and the new sleeve zippers match the zippers of Brando's screen jacket. I did have the jacket re-dyed...

    Toys Mccoy Durable Double Riders

    http://toys-mccoy.shop-pro.jp/?pid=156441665 Toys Mccoy is making a replica of the jacket worn by Marlon Brando in the Wild One. It's a spendy jacket, 275,000 yen, which comes to about $2800 USD + shipping and handling. Now, a one for one replica of the famous Brando jacket isn't available...

    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    Ok, here are pictures comparing the BK and the Durable. Things that stand out are the sleeve openings on the BK are slightly larger, the underarm gussets are 2 piece instead of one, and the belt is 18"s on the BK vs 11" on the Durable. The BK is a nice jacket, but could use a little polishing.

    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    The jacket that BK used as a model was relined by Dena Hamilton at http://www.greatleather.com. I had her take a picture of the inside of the jacket with the old liner removed. Looking at the pockets and comparing it to a picture of Brando in his jacket makes me think that they removed the...

    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    This is from the FilmJackets.com forums, but a few years ago I bought a vintage Durable from E-bay and had it restored. Note some of the small details don't quite match Brando's but it's broadly similar. Well, I was able to acquire a beat up old Durable jacket. Picked up new zippers on E-bay...

    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    The Bill Kelso version of the Wild One jacket? I loaned BK my Durable and received a BK Wild One jacket as payment for letting them use my jacket as a model. I've posted pictures of both upthread, but I will try to get pictures of both of them for comparison tomorrow.

    BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider

    This is true. I have also seen plenty of Durables with chrome hardware. There is not a lot of consistency with these jackets as to a lot of the little details. I did a little looking around on my hard drive and I'm linking to a bunch of photos of various Durables I've either had or seen...
