[Hedior]

[denimdestroyedmylife]

real mccoys and buzz rickson both do taxi driver jacket repros

there's two:

m65

tank jacket

lemme dig around for a sec

okay

Real McCoys Taxi Driver M65

Real McCoys Taxi Driver Tank Jacket

i've seen the buzz tank jacket on ebay before

also, real mccoys made taxi driver LEE 101Bs, the western shirt, and other stuff. trinket gave me a link, but i deleted most of my PMs

i believe Mario from Milwaukee will track down items for buyers

[sorry for the scatterbrained reply!]

[denimdestroyedmylife]

a "king kong company" patch set just went for $25 on eBay early this month:

just silk-screen "Bickle, T" on the back and you are set

[still]

i got the buzz tanker jacket. awesome..

rickson ones will cost you around $350

mccoy ones will cost you $450 for the tanker and $600 for the M65

this one is much cheaper but i dunno about the quality.

still looking for the "we are the people" button

[trinket]

Here's the link to the McCoys Taxi Driver stuff.

I think the M65 looks great, but is too expensive.

China made versions of the M65 jackets are going for AU$100 at my local army disposal.

why doesn't anyone try to replicate harvey keitel's look? then i'd be impressed.

buzz ricksons also makes shrts to go with the taxi driver team.

[sybaritical]

I'm going to pick up a cheap unbranded M65 in from Sapan Poot in Bangkok that I intend to cut and sew.

The key word here is intend.

Will post results if it ever happens.

[billiamgates]

speaking of modifying m65s, have any of you slimmed down the arm? its hard because its cut and sewn strangely.

[ghostdeini]

sorry for the huge images, but I knew I saved this shit for reason:

[xcoldricex]

can't fucking believe i slept on the bomber - could've gotten it at a nice price too

[mlproject]

i'm going to press up some 1" buttons of that "we are the people" ... if you want one, PM me... $1 for 2 shipped ... that's cost after paypal fees/shipping.

[Blanc0]

Someone should make buttons with the WE underlined instead of the ARE....see movie for reference.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

^ hahahaha!

you have great recall!

heheheh

[mlproject]

is the we underlined instead? i'll make it accurate.

i'll have to watch it when i get home to make sure the repros even used the right typeface.

[mlproject]

is it with we underlined? i'll have to watch it later to make sure the typeface is even right on the repro.

[mizanation]

taxi driver was on the other night. what a great flick. that was a great age in american cinema.

the m65, like many super-engineered military jackets, is so great. comfy, the pockets are always useful and big enough to hold all sorts of shit lesser jackets can't handle.

it's got a great look, too. too bad the current military issue m65 is a piece of shit.

[still]

i think it's "we are the people"

and mlproject, pm'd u about the buttons

[evisu 2000]

[mizanation]

we should make buttons with "the" underlined. like "we are THE people." kinda elitist, no?

[mlproject]

i'll watch it tonight to see what it is... does anyone have those catalogs or large images of the king kong patch and wings patch? i'd like to draw those in illustrator and make them as well.

[evisu 2000]

i just posted an image from the movie that shows the 'are' is underlined...

i'm still going to watch it to match the font. i'm pretty sure its futura, but i just want to get it spot on.

[mlproject]

nice! thanks still... check your PMs

[denimdestroyedmylife]

what blanc0 was referring to was this: in the film, they recieved a shipment of buttons with "we" underlined instead of "are" and the dude was on the phone reaming out the printers

funny stuff

[evisu 2000]

here are some 'cleaner' ones... also somewhat different!
