daytona365 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Anyone believes someone could design this shirt without having watched the pilot? It's now hanging in my closet...still not the original that C&B has, but probably the closest I will ever get to that. I still need to replace the buttons with some dark blue ones though.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Great looking shirt Daytona365! Worn with a black t-shirt, and you'll have the Pilot episode look! I'm always THRILLED when I see someone still dedicated to getting the MIAMI VICE look! The closest I ever saw to the original was actually a shirt last year in Sears of all places. IThe markings were very, VERY close to the original. It was a cotton shirt, and short sleeved. I went back twice thinking about getting it, but then I thought....I already own the original shirt, what do I hope to accomplish buying it? I didn't get it, as I couldn't do better than what I already had. Nice shirt. When do we get to see a photo of you wearing your new Crockett Pilot episode shirt?!

If you're gonna buy it, I recommend to take it at least one size bigger than your usual size, as it's fittet. If you want it to be as roomy as C&B's, then maybe even two.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) The original shirt Don Johnson wore is 100% linen, and it's a size large. It's a thin, light, big, very roomy shirt. It doesn't fit like a regular shirt, as it's cut to be roomy. So the advice of buying a larger size may be a smart idea.

Jerry B. Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Great findings, guys. The alternative shirts recall the original a lot. And Coop's right: the size (and cut) is what sets them apart, which applies to almost all the fashion of the 80s compared to what we have now. The size trick is something I've been using a lot since the mid 90s, when everything became tight and stuffed. It can work as a breeze in some cases. Other times you need adjustments on the sleeves or more, like working on the back. But if the item worth the price and you - addicted vicer - are happy with it, well you're going to wear it for a lifetime ;-)So is quite a good investment. I did it with my white blazer I bought last year: believe me, it looks cut and packed in the 80s. Pics on arrival ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not sure why they are still doing "SLIM FIT" clothes. Personally, I don't like it. If I do buy it, it has to now be an XL or an XXL for it to fit me correctly. I still prefer how much of the clothes in the 80's fit. Linen, loose and comfy! Plus, it was colorful, inventive, and stylish!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you're slim, you buy slim fit, if you're a big fella, you buy loose clothes. But yeah, I have a pastel blue loose shirt and it just looks very baggy on me, even though it's a size S. Slim fits my slim body perfectly, and that is why they are still making slim fit clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) It looks great! You pulled it off, as it get's more than a passing grade. This must be based on the original without directly copying it. Too much of a coincidence. Great Job daytona365!

He once said that it was so he could have less competition in the market to buy more of these hard-to-find items. He wasn’t being mean. Just kind of like a fisherman who doesn’t wanna tell anybody where his fishin’ hole is. If you have questions about specific items, I can probably answer them.

Huge in Japan Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hey folks, To anyone who is still interested in this shirt jacket i have read about it being a gianni-versace shirt.

I’ve always loved this song, but I’ve never seen the video. The shirt is clearly seen around the 3:23 mark. Thanks @Huge in Japan! This forum never ceases to amaze me with such rare discoveries!

Tomweb Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hey guys That shirt is definitely Gianni Versace spring summer 1984. DJ wore so much Versace in the show, especially in that first season. I have a nice piece seen a couple of times in the 3rd season Another designer he wore some of was Marithe Francois Girbaud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently DJ really liked that shirt jacket. LOVE the jacket too. Looks like the same color and pattern of the jacket he wore in "Florence Italy" and "Definitely Miami", except that jacket had a shawl lapel, and this is clearly a notch. Gotta say, given the navy shirt and even darker blue pants, I honestly think that this particular look is a PERFECT way to contempor-ize the Miami Vice style without looking too obvious/loud/silly. Something I kinda do already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 As a service to my friends here, I would like to announce that if any of you are considering bidding on this item, beware. It seems to be a copy to me. The stripes on the collar are the wrong direction, and the material doesn’t seem to be right on the close-ups. I don’t think the seller is knowingly scamming anyone. In a message exchange, they seem to believe it’s a genuine item the same as from the pilot. It’s a great copy, but it seems it’s going to fetch a genuine item price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335029585776?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Aiu-DZCjSyC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=pubP6yz6RwS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I probably would have missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
