Vintage Leather Jackets in "Den of Thieves"

[TheJuniper]

Recently spotted Gerard Butler sporting several vintage leather jackets in the film "Den of Thieves". Went back through the film and tried to ID them. I took the best screenshots I could, but probably best to watch the movie to see them. Anyways, thought this might be good fodder for this forum ...

1. Work Coat? Blazer? Teamster?



2. 50's Half Belt?



3. Long Half Belt?

First one looks like your typical Guido blazer. Second one looks to be an Aero original Hercules and the third in fact does look like Aero's long HB. Haven't heard of the show/movie but now I'm interested!

I watched it the other night. I was about to create a thread too but forgot.

Those are indeed a Hercules jacket from Aero and the Long HB looks to be Aero too. I went back and forward to see where the side adjusters were and with the back and the throat latch it was easy to recognise it.


In fact Aero just posted confirmation: https://instagram.com/p/Bhl2poODFRM/

Never given much thought to the original Herc...has my attention now. Don't see that one very often at all.

Be careful with those Original Hercules jackets! I heard they shrink!

Would you believe a google search for the original herc revealed that thread and I read it. What a massive waste of time that was.

Hmmm. I own a lhb and the chest pocket is far more horizontal. Maybe not an aero?

The sleeves on the Herc are very short it seems.

Good point. Could be an original Sears?

Hence the short sleeves?

That would make sense. I had a Sears. Fit beautifully everywhere but the sleeves were a good 1.5" too short. Just like King Leonidas is showing us here.

My lhb has also an action back. SB (don't shoot the messenger) has a similar style called long rider which according to the website description is based on a Montgomery Ward.
