We Recreated Michael Jackson’s Thriller Jacket
We recently finished working on a replica of Michael Jackson’s iconic Thriller jacket, so I thought I’d share it here.
This was one of those pieces where getting the overall look right was just as important as getting the construction and smaller details right. I’ll add some photos of the finished jacket below.
I’d be interested to hear what you guys think of the recreation, especially from anyone familiar with the original jacket.




This came out really nice. It instantly gives me a Michael Jackson vibe. Did you work from reference photos of the original jacket, or did you have access to any detailed measurements? I’m always curious how people approach recreating celebrity jackets.
