I've always wanted to be like Alex Krycek from The X-Files, and I've always wanted a jacket exactly like this one. Yes, even if I have to be a fat Krycek!
Sure, this jacket could be a custom job for the show. Any idea how I could tell what brand and make this is, and how to get one, assuming it is NOT custom?
I realize I could just get a custom made like this myself, but I don't really feel like it, even though money is not really the issue.
The jacket was worn in the X-Files between 1995 and 1996. While Nic Lea wore many different leather jackets throughout that show, that one is my favorite.
On Ebay right now, the closest thing I can find is: LEVIS-LVC-HIGWAYMAN-RARE-VINTAGE-1970s-LEATHER-MOTORCYCLE-BIKER-JACKET-44-XL
But there are still quite a few small differences if you look close enough.
A week ago I actually bought a jacket that is quite similar. So now that I have this one, I wouldn't buy something "closer" unless it is the exact make of the same jacket. Here's mine:
The funny story here is that I went to the mall looking for a leather jacket... really anything. But I couldn't find anything that fit me, and for a low price. I ended up deciding I'd have to spend some good money. I picked out something I liked, and it didn't fit. The chick at the store then picked out the jacket above, and I didn't think much of it. It wasn't my first choice. I tried it on, and it fit quite good. The chick was also a bit flirty with me, and that I must admit boosted the sale. She gave me 10% off, and I bought it. It wasn't until I got home that I realized how close it is to the jacket I want from The X-Files. But there are still some big differences, namely the collar, and the fact that mine doesn't have the upper pocket on the front. Otherwise they're basically the same deal, with some minor differences. I like this jacket, but would still like to find out how to get the real one.
