i found jay’s black jacket (an ID guide)

This black jacket is worn by Jay about 9 times throughout Marble Hornets, including his final appearance. And after some weeks of on-and-off research, I think I know the exact make and model.

This post will detail exactly how I found it, and serve as a guide for anyone that wants to find the jacket, whether that's for cosplay purposes, or if you're just keen on collecting items related to MH.

Main post under the cut

Intro

The first step to identifying the jacket was to gather as many references as possible.

I went back to the web series and took screenshots from any entries the jacket makes an appearance. (shoutout to mg549′s very comprehensive MH wardrobe guide, without it this would’ve been much more of a pain)

Jay's jacket is, for the most part, very plain. It's a solid color, full-zip jacket, without any particularly eye-catching logos or other details. I had to look for moments where even the slightest distinction appeared clear on camera, at least as distinct as it can be. Even if it was just close-ups to get the shape of a zipper, or how many buttons are on a sleeve, it was the best I got. While I did manage to find a decent amount of these, there was just one crucial detail that would've made finding it near-impossible; the brand is never shown. Thankfully, I had another resource.

In 2018 Troy Sold a Lot of Stuff

In early 2018, Troy officially announced that MH would be continued in a comic series. To fund the first issue, he held a number of auctions for production items used during the web series on Ebay.

These included items such as Jay’s camera, Brian’s hoodie, A Masky mask, and Jay’s black jacket.

Lo and behold, the jacket listing includes a picture with the brand in clear view. It's from Gap.

Ebay does not archive sold listings older than 90 days. However, Worthpoint, a website for valuing and pricing collectibles, does. Using Worthpoint I was able to find all of these items, (and a lot more, which can be found in this doc I submitted to Archive Hornets)

Identification

With the picture from the listing and the series screencaps, I had a complete ID list.

(Top image is from the Ebay listing, with the contrast adjusted a little for easier viewing. The bottom two images are from Entry #79)

The Gap logo (This specific logo dates the jacket being made anywhere between 1986 and 2009, when it first appears).

Front Zipper (Note the shape)

The two front pockets

The two buttons and pointed cuffs on each sleeve (Second one is a little hard to see but it's jusstt peeping out at the side)

The blue piping in the inner lining

The zipper in the right side inner lining

The gray mesh inner lining

With these in mind, I could now go to the next and longest step-

Finding the Jacket

I combed three resell sites; Ebay, Depop, and Poshmark. My main goal wasn't to actually purchase the jacket, (although, I would like to at some point) but to find a jacket listing that had every identifier, and have a more definite baseline for finding others. I needed to be sure what I had was enough to properly ID the jacket. The references I had stitched together were decent enough, but I wanted to see if there was something better out there.

After tons of page scrolling and tab-switching and comparing and contrasting, I finally got lucky.

(first two images are from crashthecloset's listing on poshmark, last six are from shannfo-76 on ebay)

I haven't bought one myself as of posting, but I feel pretty confident this is it. The jackets were already sold, but every marker seemed to be accounted for. It also revealed new ones, like the reflective pattern and pockets on the inner lining, (zipper on the right side pocket, button on the left pocket) and the materials tag.

With that, here's some final notes that may be helpful if you try looking for the jacket yourself:

Online sellers often describe it as a light jacket, a windbreaker, a 2-in-1, or 3-in-1.

"Gap Mens Black Jacket" is the search phrase I used the most since it yielded a (very) broad result pool.

Most of the jackets I found came from Poshmark or Ebay.

The exact size of Jay’s jacket is unclear. My best guesses are either a US Men’s S or M, since Jay was pretty skinny and of average height. I’ve only been able to find maybe 2 jackets that are a size M, one of which is the first pic in the photoset above.

Gap has sold other black jackets that look remarkably similar to Jay’s, and they do pop up on resell sites. One of these was so similar, the only discernible difference was the style of the logo. I highly recommend making sure it matches the exact one Jay had before purchasing. (It's also more than fine to ask/msg me if you have any doubts!) As long as you know what to look for, you shouldn’t have a problem finding at least one.

One detail that confounded me was this sleeve poking out of Jay's jacket. At first I thought he was wearing a long sleeve underneath, making this shot a continuity error since he appeared to Only be wearing the green short sleeve under the jacket.

@hivemite pointed out that this might be a two-in-one jacket, which has multiple layers for different types of weather. While I have not been able to see the sleeve outside of two shots in entry #79 and #80, one listing I found did describe it as a 3-in-1.

that's about it! hope this helps :)

Another little quilt top! This one is made using the remaining squares from the other green baby quilt I made, so I did not have to cut out any squares or do any initial ironing and it only took an hour :D

desire: want to develop my fursona character, give them their own name and plop them into a specific aesthetic - idk if it's urban fantasy exactly, but the thing where you mix fantasy items with modern ones, like This vibe, a bit like they've been isekai'd to a fantasy adventure and then came back. then i can draw them both in a fantastical setting and a non-fantastical one and play around with themes of feeling out of place no matter where you go,

roadblock: still struggling to draw my own fursona very well

possible unpopular take of the hour i think perhaps hugo isnt actually all that obsessed with Gold and Typical Treasure. i mean he absolutely goes for it but merely as ways to fund his gay little projects or whatever and obviously to retrieve stuff ordered by donella. im Pretty Sure he's been "officially" drawn with ur typical gold crown and jewels n stuff as something he desires. usually i wouldnt go against the Original Vision BUT i think its more interesting if he'd sooner go after some sort of strange looking trinket than an extravagant crown. he's also a pretentious jackass who i can imagine harbors the feelings that "basic gold coins" are for simple-minded thieves. he's MUCH smarter, you understand. he has taste and ambition

Intellectually I am like a rat terrier always diving into rabbit holes I don't TECHNICALLY need to be in but every now and then I get the green light from above to continue rooting around bc what are the odds I get a question about the Philadelphia chromosome 3 days after worrying I spent too much time frivolously indulging in NCI ALL reading instead of narrow scope NCI CML stuff.

"Ohh Philadelphia chromosome? Surely no one will know I spent 40 minutes indulging in learning what the hell that is irt acute lymphoblastic leukemia etiology" <- me when I was researching chronic myeloid leukemia but got distracted

The whiplash of seeing an email this morning starting with "Can we support Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia--"

Make your attention span work for YOU, babes!! You never know when someone this week will ask you about that niche research mud hole you were wallerin in recently

✨MERCH DROP FOR SECOND WIND✨

we are currently in the process of crowdfunding with this thing (and we already surpassed the goal, LIKE, REALLY SURPASSED)

so let's take a look, shall we?

Pins. Headshots of Nika, Josh, Andrey, Wolf, Danila, Balor and Yana (who, without a hint of irony, were called by their shipname in the description).

Acrylic stands. Made with the use of comic frames from Demonslayer, Realmwalkers and Allies.

Keychains. The third row is actually made entirely out of 3 double-sided trinkets, hehehe.

Postcards. Made with the use of all the cool issue covers that each comic series had.

Poster. Huge, isn't it? We will take a closer look later. Maybe. But it's worth looking at and zooming in. They also released t-shirts with this print for each series.

Bonuses for surpassing the goal:

I GOT TO DO A HOLOSPRAY FOR APEX' 4TH ANNIVERSARY COLLAB AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I doubt the one legend I love is the type to celebrate but he can be silly sometimes 🤡

With Maytaki's faves; Wattson, Pathfinder and their love for pastel colors and cute things, I managed to work in Caustic 🥳

You can get this holospray among the other wonderful community created items if you complete the reward tracker!!!

You can see the community showcase video for the event here

It's always a dream come true to be able to contribute to the game I love!!! I'm very grateful for the Apex team for inviting to work with them

Things I would like to see in future Palworld updates:

Weather - I want to go riding with one of my pals in the rain, or see snow in the snowy areas, or try to avoid hostile pals in the fog. We've got a taste of the last one in the newest island, but I'd like to see it on the other islands as well

Tides - I don't know how feasible this is with a 3D game but having tides that swamp the narrower beaches would be cool

Different-shaped building tiles - I have been wanting to make a lighthouse in this game for my guys to live in. I want to be able to climb up to the top with some fires going and look out over everything. I want to be able to scan from anywhere in the Archipelago and see the light off of Pal Point

Pal accessories - I know we've got some but I haven't been able to check it out because my big computer is in the shop. Let me put a cute little beret on one of my pals, or an ascot. Let my girl Namara have a scarf to emphasize her Good Dog status, or Little Baa with a little crown, or Big Sad with some deal with it sunglasses

MERCH - Quivern plush as big as I am \.o./

most redeeming feature of outer la so far is the presence and diversity of michoacanas. Obsessed. had a paleta de arroz con leche yesterday and a pepino loco and scoop of pecan ice cream today. As a pecan lover one of the best fucking pecan things I’ve ever had - tasted distinctly like pecan and overridingly like pecan but not like furniture polish. On a mission to try a different michoacana every day I’m here/assemble a local ranking system

Look, I acknowledge that I'm effectively dating him, but I'm not about to let anyone think they own me, no matter how nice their hair is or how good they smell.

Besides, who knows? Always a chance I'll get bored and change my mind.
