Simplyme007 · 02-02-2011, 01:10 AM

Thanks my friend!!!!!!! Those are some great pics!!! Those should help alot with making this jacket.. Thank you!!

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 01:22 AM

No problem!

I have a lot of photos saved.

If you are looking for more of the other jackets just let me know and I'll have a look.

Simplyme007 · 02-02-2011, 03:55 PM

Yeah! You are welcome to post any pics of his jackets on here that you wish!! Although im really interested in this particular jacket (at the moment) but i love seeing them all!

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 05:32 PM

Ok no problem.

I really love this set, although it's black and white it shows some good detail. I'm not even sure which jacket this is as I haven't studied them all real close, but I'm guessing maybe the silver, because of the "staple" stitching on the collar.

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 05:36 PM

The silver with that same staple stitch at the collar.

I like this one a lot. It seems to be a rougher cut of the red and green styles.

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 05:56 PM

Simplyme007 · 02-02-2011, 07:14 PM

The black and white ones? Yeah those are awesome. I don't know, I've had them a long time. Those were the only ones like that I came across today, but if I find more I'll post them for sure.

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 07:28 PM

Two more good looks at the silver.

at first I thought those stitches at the collar only looked like staples, but on closer look they really do seem to be that.

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 07:38 PM

silver

1 more gold

marik · 02-02-2011, 08:36 PM

That B+W series is from a Details magazine cover shoot from 2001. Great set. Always a fav for me.

bonocomet · 02-02-2011, 08:40 PM

Oh yeah thanks marik. I forgot I scanned that cover. Should add it here.

Simplyme007 · 02-02-2011, 09:46 PM

Yeah, they are staples.. and instead of "leather lashings" as detail on the sleeves and etc. it appears to be leather "cord" weaved on the jacket.. a very cool design as well.. im telling you, this dude "Bono" has some awesome jackets! lol

He definitely does! That is really cool about the staples. Now you're making me want one of these jackets.

Simplyme007 · 02-02-2011, 11:08 PM

haha i'll probably wind up with one of every color and style... for real.. haha

bonocomet · 02-03-2011, 12:10 AM

I want a silver one.

domo-kun · 02-03-2011, 09:05 AM

I know your problem , once you got the templates right, the hard work is over and you'll end up making them all.
I must agree that the silver one is the coolest, I also still like the red one very much,
its hard to find something for the braided strip allong the stitches.

Simplyme007 · 02-05-2011, 01:19 PM

Yeah.. i like that Silver one too.. i mean, if one wanted too one could go to a thrift store and find a cool/decent looking leather jacket that fits good then go get a hole punch for leather or material at a fabric store and punch small holes in the jacket along the seams (holes on both sides of the seams) and then get some leather cord or buy some long leather stripes of any color and then simply braid the leather across the seams as you would if you were threading a shoelace onto your shoe and make a very cool looking "Bono style" jacket.. and wouldn't have much money invested at all... I might do that myself just to see how it turns out... i think i might actually cut a jacket in half at the seams and then try to braid leather back over the seams to hold the jacket together and then get some big staples and a staple gun and add those as wanted on the jacket.. i bet it would be pretty cool looking!!

bonocomet · 02-05-2011, 01:33 PM

I bet it would be! If I was a bit more creative like that I'd try it too, but I'm afraid I'd just ruin a jacket! If you have any luck with that, please let us know.
