: The Star Wars Fan CLub used to sell his vest and Luke's 'Empire' jacket, and I seem to recall that they had Han's jacket there as well.

: Since Wizards of the Coast (Magic and Pokemon) now runs the fan club, I'm not sure if they're selling merchandise, or Lucasfilm, or whoever.

: Perhaps you can try yahoo.com or google.com and see if anyone makes a custom one instead.

: Take care.

: : Okay, its not Indy, but it IS Harrison and Lucasfilm.
: : Anyone know where to get a replica of the jacket Han wore in a few scenes in EMPIRE? the blue jacket that he wore notably when arguing in the tunnel with Leia at the beginning, and during the "who's scruffy lookin?" bit?

: : I was just watching it when i thought...hmmmmm that would look nice on me;)

: : Cheers

Ha! I knew I wasn't crazy! :)

About 3 years ago, I spotted all three items you're talking about; Luke's Bespin jacket, Han's Empire Jacket and Han's ANH vest. Judging from the pics, they were extremely well-made. and they were very reasonably priced, too. (If I recall, both Luke and Han's Empire jackets were approx. $150, and Han's vest was maybe $100.)

I didn't have the money at the time, as I was getting ready to move to SoCal. After getting out here, I forgot about them for a while. About a year later, I remembered, and started looking again. Haven't found any mention of the "official" ones since - and I've been ticked.

I've seen the fan-made one that was mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. But it looks like a Cracker Jack prize compared to the "official" one. (IMHO)

Anyways, if anyone has any pics of them, I'd love to see them - but not as much as I'd love to find out that I could still get one. :)
