‘Back in Time’ is also streaming on Netflix.
Andrew
Thanks for the heads up! I looked but couldn’t find where it was streaming.
John
You forgot the suspenders/braces! Seriously, I have worn this Getup. It’s really warm and comfortable for a Northern California day (I think that’s where Hill Valley is?).
Christopher Moye
Cool write-up. Really like the outfit
Kory Leach
Although to be fair, his outfit was from 1985. The clothes the others were wearing were the odd ball things.
I’m in my early 40’s and I’d still wear most of this outfit though. Not the apple watch or the sneakers though.

I was decked out in my Marty costume yesterday. Managed to see two Deloreans yesterday.
Andrew
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing the pic!

“surprisingly, Marty’s style wasn’t way off.”
The big question…was the world being subconsciously led to this style through 30 years of waiting for this day?

How is this supposed to be a layered? The long sleeve under the puffer vest, the T-shirt under the long sleeve? The T shirt alone under the denim jacket?
Andrew
Yep, the first way!

This is awesome Andrew. I love the twist on the typical Getup post. This and the Jaws looks are really a nice change of pace theme for the Getups! Would love to see more iconic film costumes features in today’s styles! Keep up the good work!
