June 23, 2013Thanks Sawa! The jacket in the add you posted looks in much better condition.Its still the original black satin color.
I've contacted "The Cloth Tattoo" company that made the crew jackets.I was informed that the original company is now defunct,but they knew about the Blade Runner crew jacket.
I inquired about having a replica crew jacket made.Dave(who responded)said they can do it.He is currently sourcing the original "base" black satin jacket with silver stitching and the coding used for the Blade Runner emblem and characters beneath it. I'll keep everyone posted.The base jacket is no longer made so I might be going with Dave's best facsimile if he can't find an original jacket.

$20,000 for a cast of the original blaster?? I'm glad I got my $25.00 cap gun from Japan(plus $15.00 shipping) a few years back from EbaY....it really is a cap gun too :)
