Marty McFly

Marty McFly wears the red quilted down vest as a recurring part of his everyday 1985 outfit, including when he heads out late at night to meet Doc Brown at Twin Pines Mall. He continues wearing it through much of his accidental trip to 1955 Hill Valley, where its bright, anachronistic appearance repeatedly makes him stand out and prompts others to mistake it for a life preserver.

About This Product

The Class-5 Mountaineering Equipage Down Vest is a vintage sleeveless quilted outdoor garment from the brand’s mountaineering line, produced by the California-based company founded by Justus Bauschinger. Period examples typically feature a nylon shell, horizontal baffle quilting, snap-front closure, down insulation, and a bulky stand collar. In Back to the Future, Marty wears it open over a denim jacket and patterned shirt, making its vivid bright red-orange tone and puffer silhouette one of the most distinctive elements of his costume. Original examples now surface primarily through vintage and secondhand markets.
