Jack the Giant Slayer, Jacket worn by Jack throughout the movie

original movie costume

“Here comes the thunder.”

Jack’s (Nicholas Hoult) leather jacket from Bryan Singer’s 2013 adventure fantasy Jack the Giant Slayer. The ancient war between humans and a race of giants is reignited when Jack, a young farmhand fighting for a kingdom and the love of a princess, opens a gateway between the two worlds.

Jack wore his jacket throughout the movie. Its design was based on a modern hooded jacket to coincide with Singer’s stylised interpretation of the boyish character. The jacket is leather scraps sewn with thin brown thread, a constellation pattern is sewn on the shoulder and arm patches with thicker thread. The jacket has been distressed with marks on the surface, there is a hole on the right armpit where the stitching has come loose, but it remains in an otherwise very good condition.
