The Empire Strikes Back- Han’s Hoth Coat

There’s been a debate going in between Star Wars fans from 30 years, whether or not Han’s coat on Hoth is brown or blue.

The Thing-Macready’s Bomber Jacket

Kurt Russell’s worn lot of cool jackets through the years, the brown leather jacket in Escape from New York, Snake Plissken’s trench coat in Escape from L.A., massive fur coat in The Hateful Eight. They all fade in contrast to the bomber jacket he wore in The Thing.

Raiders of the Lost Ark-Indy’s Leather Jacket

Back TO the Future II-The Size-changing Jacket

Taxi Driver-Travis Bickle’s Army Jacket

When you look Taxi Driver everything about the movie has such a settle, expanded feeling, Bickle’s soiled apartment and the lean way in which he sulks throughout the movie from the beginning, it all adds up to that sense of authenticity. Bickle’s army jacket which he has worn in his days as an army soldier in Vietnam is only seen when he commits himself in becoming more aggressive and it also becomes a plot device when fashions a sleeve gun and hide it under his jacket.
