'STEADY CLOTHING' have released a replica jacket of the one that RYAN GOSLING wears in my favourite film [of 2011] 'DRIVE'. Ryan Gosling and the costume designer Erin Benach collaborated on designing the jacket together specifically for the film. In an interview with Grantland costume designer Erin discusses the origin of the jacket: "Ryan had been really inspired by these 1950s Korean souvenir jackets. He had bought one on his own and was wearing it around. So we started to think, wow, that might be really cool. But the style and shape of them was definitely very fifties and slouchy. We felt like Driver was really buttoned-up, clean and streamlined and we didn’t want there to be much billowiness to him. So we built it piece by piece. We knew the collar had to be able to pop up, we wanted the knit around the wrists and waist to be 100 percent wool as opposed to stretchy nylon. We wanted every element to be perfect. We went through 15 or 20 iterations until we got it right. Which was down to the wire — about an hour before shooting!" Check out the jacket for yourself below. I know for now it may just look like a jacket to you, but seriously! After watching the film you will want this jacket!! For reals.
STEADY CLOTHING - The Official Replica "Drive" Jacket UDS$169.99.
