I think I found the ''X-box''
guys..this is far from proof......I just really think this looks like the X-box.
I have been studying frame by frame finding nothing..only ''K stitches'' and all of a sudden I saw this....this really looks like a X on the pull strap to me.....
the thing that really makes me think that this is an X is that straps that had the K in them was only in the buckle strap on the back panel, and the box that was on the pulling strap was empty..
what do you guys think?
agent5? G? Chris?

I have been looking after so many X's lately in the film...I think I'd soon had end up with ''X-ray vision''( I know..bad humor...)

I know what you mean... I've always been a little skeptical about the x-box, but I think I'm starting to see them too:Indiana Holt wrote:glad that its not only me that sees it..

I kinda see that one too..its a little blurry....but if the jacket in your pic had a K stitch anchoring? the box that you show in your picture should actually be empty..and not with a X or K or whatever...
just like in mine..if it had a K stitch it should be in the buckle strap and not the pull strap that is anchored on the side on the jacket which would be ampty if the K was on the oposite strap....
G. the jacket in my pic s the ''nobody has come out of here alive...please!!..'''

From everything that has been said about work needed to keep the jackets together, make repairs etc during filming, isn't it possible that the X stitch was made on site as better reinforcement after a few repairs? Hardware (buckles) seemed to have changed as well.
Jackets may not have started with the X stitch but may have ended that way. Same with the rectangular buckles. G mentioned that the original copied jacket apparently had signs of holes in the strap.

Just to muddy the waters still further (it's driving me insane too Eric),
I spoke to Tony again on the phone last night. He categorically stated that the details I got on my strap (the "K" stitch etc) WAS the same as the original jacket. He was VERY vocal about this. He also went on to say that although slydini's jacket was numbered #001, it was NOT the first jacket Tony made. Apparently, quite a few were made before Slydini's and Tony said he was already making them with the "K" stitch.
He implied that some people ask for "X" and some people ask for something else. I'm STILL confused because I think I do see the "X" in your screengrab.

If he said it, then it's K's!! I mean - why would he lie and why would he be wrong?Chris_King wrote:Just to muddy the waters still further (it's driving me insane too Eric),

By the pictures I can see both K's and X's - it's a matter of "bias" in your(my) perception! If you(I) want it to be X's, then it is. If you want it to be K's, then it is!!
Just my opinion...

K all the way!
a5, iirc, you and todd battled this one out pretty good. you saw an X, some saw a K, and todd just say it as the leather being pulled and thats why his front anchor stitches are just 1" x 1/2" rectangular boxes.
its small potatoes to some. i took my configuration from todd's jackets. whether its SA or not, i just think it looks more tidy than those clunky X-box, PS3, Wii, thingamajiggers.

yeah..I thought soo too at first..
but if the K was there it is on the wrong strap.that box should be empty if the K stitch was on the buckle strap..
but it seems that there is some sort of sticth there..it might be very well a X.
just came to think about it..what do we exactly know for sure about the other raiders jackets?..
I mean some jackets could come with a K on both buckle strap and pull strap

The X is a reinforcement of the side strap.
I believe Todd made his a K based off of this one pic. I completely believe it to be an X that is being blocked by the strap. You can even see the lines continued to make the X but it's just blocked by the excess strap hanging off.
While I can't say anyone is wrong based soley on their preceptions, I just cannot see how you guys see a K in the b/w pic posted above. I see nothing but an X with the box around it.

I think because the strap box doesnt look like its 1'' big..looks more 1/2'' big...
but it just might aswell be an X there..because A) the angle might be of..so it could look like a K..
B) as I said above..if it has a pattern in the box on the pull strap it must be an X..because the straps that have the K is on the bukle strap and not on the pull strap..

Yes. blurry screen grabs have been the problem identifying details all along.Indiana Holt wrote:The Flying wing shot does not appear to show the entire box... That is why it looks like a "K"...
yes that is what I thought too when screengrabbing..it might just aswell be a entire X--what do we know for sure? we only have blurry screengrabs
Tony had the actual jacket.
Yes, but we're also discussing different jackets as well, not just the jacket Tony had. Everyone needs to keep in mind that the jacket he had was only in the outdoor scenes in Hawaii and I believe but cannot be certain, of course, that it was used in Imam's house. Could the the same and could be different, but the storm flap is identical.

right! I believe that they are the same jacket as well.the square stormflap corner is identical to the ''spider'' jacket.
Thanks, Holt. I meant to say squared off storm flap corner. Even the leather has some of the same characteristics, at least in the photos. may not be the exact same jacket, of course, but some of the similarities point to that possibility.

I wouldn't be surprised if it appears in other scenes as well, but we'll never know for sure.agent5 wrote:Yes, but we're also discussing different jackets as well, not just the jacket Tony had.
