Richie Rich Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 P.S. - You're only wearing the old jeans to demo those other jackets' date=' I hope? They need the right pants for the MV look.[/quote']The worn jeans are part of an outfit that we refer to as "The Bad Timing Outfit".Perfect for riding your Harley, and hanging out in old bars listening to Hank Williams. Dress pants just would not look right. Jeans fit in this situation.Good for a trip down ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 i actually prefer the jeans with the jacket. As much as i love the white pants, they're not terribly practical in the UK lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 They're not practical anywhere! My white pants show every bit of dirt. .......but they look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edas Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 What model motorcycle here? Harley Daividson here I know, but what model? I use the web site imcdb.com where you can find all vehicles which have been used for filming. But that site is only three seasons the Miami Vice TV show.

Wearing an oversized hooded sweatshirt only shows that you follow the crowd. The blazer sets you apart for style sense and coolness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Rich Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 It shows that you have A LOT of style! Right - just look at Coop's pictures and you have your answer. Before '07 I did not realize that this style looked mature and a little more upscale and professional. I had to see pictures like these to realize that this was the type of style I wanted for myself. I went out and got "upgraded", even though I am still looking for that first Armani or Versace to add. I do have a Hugo Boss blazer now, which was a Vice supplier, seen on Crockett. We all change. Thanks and a tip of the hat to this site, and the members, and you too, Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Rich Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 "Comparison shot" :The Smuggler's Blues jacket is somewhere between a French Blue, and turquoise in color, which is why it is so difficult to find. I have seen turquoise jackets in thrift stores, but the color was just too gaudy and goofy looking to be wearable. I have never seen this color in a store, be it thrift, retail, you name it. I've found a jacket that duplicates yours, Coop. That is a color that looks great with jeans, blue or black dress pants, or even the outfit from SB. That henley from Belk was a great find (*pats self on back*) since it is a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job RICHIE!! :clap:I couldn't agree more Richie with never having found that color of blazer anywhere. It exists. I've tried so hard thru contacts to get one of the screen worn versions to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 This is my "ALMOST" The Prodigal Son blazer.Why "almost"? Well, it's very, very close to the one Sonny wore in CLUB DELERIOUS in NEW YORK.So close, that it is virtually the same jacket. Let me explain.This jacket was made by the very same maker that made the MIAMI VICE version. It's the exact same color, exact same maker, exact same shoulder pads, exact same 100% silk fabric, exact same cream lining ....but there are some differences which I will explain.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 This is a modern jacket, based on the 1986 version.The reason this was made slightly different with different modifications, is because it was a variant, in order for it to be sold at BLOOMINGDALE'S, and to be distinguished from the original.This version has a button hole in the lapel, and a chest pocket. The VICE version didn't have these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The slash pocket's are exactly the same, and untouched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 There are buttons on the sleeves, but even though the VICE version didn't have any buttons on the sleeves, I'm fairly certain that there were originally, but they were removed when they shortened the length of the sleeves for Don, because his suit was about two times too large for him, so they shortened the sleeves, and hemmed the trousers. The original would have had a slight slash opening near the wrist where the buttons are, but are not seen on the VICE version due to the several inches taken off the arms. This version has buttons on the sleeves. They are also black and silver buttons, where the original VICE jacket had a one button front closure, and sleeve buttons that were all the same color as the jacket.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The other slight difference is the little flap vent in the back of the jacket, that the original VICE version didn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Other than those differences, it is the same jacket as worn in THE PRODIGAL SON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The 100% silk is the very finest silk I have felt. It's light, very smooth, and feels fantastic to the touch. Very silky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Not sure if the lighting is well enough, as I don't have proffessional lighting, but the color is the exact color as seen in the show, I just have trouble lighting it.

Gary1911A1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Very nice Coop. I bet DJ wore them a size or two larger for the same reason I do. The shoulder holster takes up room under the blazers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows off real good in PRODIGAL SON when they are outside, and the NY cops arrive, and frisk them. It fits very well!Thanks for the kind comment!

The larger size clothes would not have been a mistake. Your awesome pal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoulder holster takes up room under the blazers. It may be part of the reason Gary.Another could be for TV clothing stylistic reasons. This suit looked much bigger than other clothes he wore. He has worn jackets that have been a bit too big, but in that case, the cuffs, not the sleeves, were rolled up about four inches. With the PRODIGAL SON jacket, the sleeves were actually altered, as were the length of the pants.If I carried a gun, I'd most likely like the feel of a bigger jacket too Gary!

Administrators timm525 Posted July 14, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I will admit in some scenes DJ seemed to be "a bit wide" and wearing a larger than normal jacket. We know that he was wearing a gun underneath but I wonder if others picked up on this. ?(It is a question for folks who choose to go armed with a shoulder holster.
