Back to The Future Marty McFly Jacket Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

It’s supposed to be 1985, where RL and other mall clothes are in full swing, and yet he dresses like a caricature of a 1960’s accountant. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. BTTF gets all of this right, presumably by the use of true vintage (since the patterns and designs are really specific) as according to the wiki, they only used whatever was in Universal’s costume warehouse.

First coming out in 1985, the first movie introduces the audience to a teenager named Marty McFly, who wants to be a musician. In some cases tickets will be left in the auction winner's name for pick up at the ticket office of the event location. Use a piece of leather strip over the tubing to straighten the short length along the sleeve seam, if needed. As you guys remember from my leather jacket essay, two-tone jackets were popular as youth novelty wear. For as much as everyone's paid for these knockoff jackets, it would have made sense for Guess to do a special limited run of the original jackets.I know the seller stated that it is cloth instead of rubber for the sake of comfort, but the color is wrong. There are many different size options available, because the artist understands how different fans are from one another. The jacket is powered by rechargeable batteries that can run for 30 minutes and can be juiced up with a cord included with the jacket.

When Marty gets into the epic skateboard chase (also a great cue btw), he retains the two-tone jacket but brings in a new shirt and pant combo. Luckily with a rich heir like Doc Brown as a friend, Marty is able to get some period accurate clothes and fit into this iteration of Hill Valley. Underneath the jacket, Marty has a block motif sportshirt that he’s rolled up his sleeves a la James Dean. These movies don’t just tell the story, they deal with important topics and questions people had in the 80’s. It has to be said, that no matter how advanced the technology is, there are still no flying cars around.This all probably contributes to why Hill Valley in 1955 feels real and not filled with some wise-cracking gangster with a down-on-his-luck shoeshine kid. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. When a button on the jacket hem is pushed, cables are wound around a pulley, drawing the sleeves up.
