Decided to get a denim jacket like the one Ray wears in GB1: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/0/20010e4e13e7b151b85c1382c1552e5db5bb9b25.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/0/e0482da7e39b0ecfad2457cf5fc71306b9d4acfd.jpeg) Ended up finding this “deadstock” Big Ben by Wrangler Chore Jacket in my size. Take off the pocket patch and it’s a dead ringer: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/7/7739e3d196a93d772a2cf814896bc69562a71e33.jpeg) Just need to work out what Lapel Pin goes on the collar now: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/c/ac32f62e87483bdfa31ce3bb66ceb865f5c45209.jpeg) ---

It’s not a lapel pin, it’s a buttonhole ---

Most likely the button would be under the lapel on the side we can’t see. At least that is how I have sewn buttons on in the past. ---

I noticed that pin on the collar last time I watched it and thought it was a Harley Davidson pin. ---

It’s not a button hole, it’s a pin. You can see the reflection in a few shots. Looks like a flying saucer. ---

Thinking one of these - the 3rd one in particular has a vintage feel that plays into Ray’s long time fascination: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/c/0c8385e5b774ab683569734646ce8e0b272632d8.png) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/9/698ae0a95d85a6c7add7475a2964e448ad17bc0b.png) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/f/bf3eb6b56429a2253e49044dfcc15dc30df9028a.png) ---

> [@Hairy Biker](#): > > I’m still trying to track one of these jackets down. It’s weird, I was checking the other day and there were heaps listed on AU eBay, but today there were only a couple. There’s more listed on the US eBay, so another option is to use Stackry or a similar forwarding agent. Suggest keeping a watchlist for “Denim Chore Coat Big Ben” with your size added in as well. ---

I’m a pretty big size. Kinda hard to find. I do keep searches going though. I’d sort of forgot about it till the appearance in [Frozen Empire](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters-frozen-empire). ---

Obtained a better source and decided to have another quick look for comparison. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/5/95f43774d57c31a3edf14fcf29fdf4203eaf5f3e.jpeg) A. It’s 100% a lapel pin B. I seem to be color blind, as that’s 100% not a blue/grey collar like the one I originally bought I ended up picking this one up for cheap on the bay. Little bit worn in, though it has a more accurate lighter collar: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/2/f2e16ee9e18c3cacb987645c2671d7df98192c7d.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/0/b04e228c65c9760928674ad03286f5da3315a19e.jpeg) ---

That is definitely a UFO lapel pin. ---

Now the hunt begins for Ray’s [Frozen Empire](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters-frozen-empire) jacket… - Looks like a suede collar rather than corduroy - No right pocket flap - Possible standard lower pockets Lightened captures from the trailers: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/7/97168ee79bc8aed7fba0e152d18c826853a419c9.png) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/8/b8759b79b15bdb0c547fe9d7cb05474c59fed5b0.png) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/d/9d703707712df7c480cdd96ce899ac4271793e60.png) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/4/540b0c7f74a58b96363cef50ebe47c9be7613819.png) ---

Might have been custom for production based on the original. It looks unlined, based on the folded up sleeves. Could be a duck canvas collar too, or a thin corduroy. ---

Cheap and lots of sizes. Excellent find. Its funny that you say prison. Just watched Shawshank and was wondering why the jackets looked so familiar and now its clicked. ---

Replacement jacket came in finally.

Here is a shot of the lapel pin. I was recently able to pick up a jacket in brand new condition on eBay and I’m thrilled with it. The jacket will be my go to once the weather gets cooler. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/5/e5dc6cd022c44238c036eb1c9e7a5195230dbbfd.jpeg) Here are a few shots of my new favorite jacket, waiting on a ufo lapel pin to arrive, I’ll be removing the little pocket patch soon. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/1/014bba3c017f24838a869130f5df92dd72e3bfc6.jpeg) ---

I added some Easter eggs into the lining of my jacket. Why go through the trouble of sewing it in? Because I know it’s there 😊 ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/6/668c166f712528fb5617539eae4dc9f28bf3b776.jpeg) [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/rays-denim-jacket-gb1/34653.md?page=2)
