Wow, I just received my all new, re-designed 'Escape' jacket. The first jacket that was made for me was a fine jacket in it's own right, but not quite THE jacket. Working closely with me to iron out every single detail to get this jacket as screen accurate as possible, Magnoli and his people really came through. Every single feature on the jacket has been tweaked, re-worked and modified to be as accurate to the original screen worn 1930's California Sportswear jacket that Kurt made look so damn cool. The new leather is as fine as fine can be and is a dead ringer for vintage horsehide. I can finally close the book on this one. This is THE definitive Snake Plissken jacket as worn by Kurt Russell in 1981's "Escape From New York" and 1995's "Escape From L.A." Long live Snake and thanks again! -The Mechanic..

I ordered the Snake Plissken jacket in pre-distressed goatskin with functional zipper, and I'm extremely happy with it. Indy Magnoli was very communicative during its construction, promptly answering e-mails and sending progress pics, and this was greatly appreciated. Furthermore, the measurements I provided were followed exactly, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it fit when I first tried it on. Indy Magnoli and his tailors have produced a great replica of another iconic movie jacket, and I'm proud to be the owner of the first one he made in goatskin. And did I mention his great customer service and communication? :) The jacket was also produced very quickly, so, again, I was pleasantly surprised by how fast I received it. Will I buy from Magnoli Clothiers again? Definitely! Indy Magnoli, YOU ROCK!!..

The search for this jacket started for me in the early 1980's after seeing "Escape From New York" on cable television. From that first viewing to now, some 23 years later, I've always wanted that iconic jacket worn by the coolest character to ever grace the silver screen. It was incredible luck that allowed me to discover Indy Magnoli. After all those years my dream jacket was to become a reality. The jacket you see here on his site is my personal jacket so look for yourself. it's incredible. The heavy pre-distressed cow hide is both rugged and beautiful. It will definitely be able to handle the harsh winters here in Vermont and last for years to come. The detailing is accurate and perfectly excecuted. All the pockets are fully functional and zippers are very heavy duty. Overall satisfaction with the final product is 100% and being the first person besides Kurt Russell to have one is simply amazing. Thanks Mr. Magnoli for accepting this challenge and giving me the jacket I've always wanted...
