Very cool.

Do you know what the model name is for these?

Nope. There is no writing, no model number anywhere on the goggles other than SCOTT on the headband and VENTURI PANORAMA on the bottom of the lense on the left side.

When I bought them they were loose, no box nor bag. It's been so long and I can't remember for sure, but I may have bought them during the Gart Sports SNIAGRAB (bargains spelled backwards) Sale.

Over the years I've looked for another pair at thrift stores but haven't had any luck.

Way cool.

I feel as though one could perhaps construct their own MacGyver if they were to collect the right parts..... Or at least assemble a mannequin or statue of Mac. I remember a local store once gave away a life size replica of Darth Maul from star wars. It was so cool, even had real cloths and all. So yeah, would be possible I think.

Not sure what you found cos the picture isn't showing. But I just found a pair fo pants which look very similar to MacGyver's cargos.

Yup, Eddie Bauer has quite some Mac-styled clothing. But I believe Mac would have worn cotton, not poly...

hmmm... yeah good point.

I have some vintage (1980s) Banana Republic catalogs (the ones that were the size of Reader's Digest). I'll go through those and see if anything looks like what Mac would have worn and post pictures.

It's taken me 28 years. 28 looooong years, but I finally found it!

The other night, while posting the thread about the cargo pants Mac wore, I decided to do a quick search on eBay for a Banana Republic vest like MacGyver wore during the Opening Gambit of "Thief of Budapest" and "The Gauntlet" . . . and I found one in a size large. The seller had it listed as a woman's vest, but I knew it wasn't. I wasn't expecting it until next week, but when I got home from work this afternoon there it was outside my front door.

I know this find is not as impressive or meaningful to most, like the discovery of the Chevignon jacket, but to me it's a fantastic find. I've looked for this particular style since 1985. I've had several Banana Republic vests throughout the years that I've worn on various "adventures" but now I finally have one just like Mac wore, which will added to my MacGyyver replica collection. WOOHOO!

The vest is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. It looks like it came right off the store rack.

Excellent work.

It's a very cool looking vest too! I love all the pockets on it!

Just added it to our Wardrobe page

Cool. Thank you.

Picking up on this old post: I've been thinking the same thing and I own a couple of these boots (look at my avatar), albeit not from Eastmanleathers (they don't seem to sell them any longer).
The Red Wings in the shop look different because they have a cap toe and Mac's boots don't. Were the Red Wings in the 80's produced without the cap toe? If not, then I'd say Mac wore some slightly modified Boondockers.

P.S.: The last link to the wardrobe page doesn't work.

I think your right Fellow Traveler. If you look at the two pictures below, the Boondockers like identical to MacGyver's boots.

It would seem that Boondocker is a style of boot used by the US Marine Corps in WW2. I thought it was a brand, but they are made by various companies.

Have you got a link to the ones you posted there? I own the M43 Roughouts, but they are wider than the Boondockers and don't have the fast-lacing system.

The picture came from google, but it links to this discussion on another forum about the boots.

The only boondockers on amazon are a darker color then these.

And they are not quite SA. Mac's boots have only four eyelets, then the fast-lacing, with probably another 2 or 3 eyelets. If I find the time, I might check the early episodes, I seem to remember that we can get a good glimpse of the boots in "The Golden Triangle".

If you do a Google image search for boondocker boots you find that there are quite a few variations of the boot made by different companies (boondocker is a style like G2 flight is a style of jacket) so the number of eyelets and hooks will be specific to whoever made those boots.

In fact that picture I posted above seems to be the only boots which have the hooks at the top. All the other boots are just eyelets right the way up.

So I think the question is really "What brand of boots are they".

After spookin' around on the internet, most Boondockers have a leather heelcap, which Mac's did not.

From what I've read about Boondockers, they weren't that comfortable and caused blisters, which is one of the reason the Navy discontinued them.

I think he wore these boots in "Bushmaster" too.

Are you sure? I think you can just see a seam at the back of Mac's boot. Yeah, it's a bit blurry, but there might be one...

Right, there is a seam. The ones I've found online, have a separate piece of leather that makes up the heelcap, stitched on top of the main piece of leather where the lace holes are. I know there are different versions of the same boot style, I was just passing along what I've been able to find.

I'm friends with several WWII re-enactors and they all have one version or another of the Boondockers boots. I'll take a closer look at them the next time I see them.

You should show them the picture. Maybe they are able to identify the boots. These re-enactors are usually pretty knowledgable about close-enoughs and reproductions of era clothing.

just added the ski goggles to the Wardrobe page. Anxiously waiting to hear more about those boots.

i think MacGyver also had a black calgary flames hat. he wore it in the end of the episode phoenix under siege.

Thanks for adding the goggles to the wardrobe page.

I think I've identified the Australian Duster MacGyver was wearing at the beginning of the episode "Phoenix Under Siege".

In looking through a Banana Republic catalog, dated Fall 1987, I found an Authentic Australian Bushman's raincoat. The description reads as follows:

During the Aussie rainy season - known Down Under as "The Wet" - a jackeroo's oilskin rain coat is nearly as vital as his horse. It's vented to keep the saddle dry, built with a rooflike cape for run-off, and made from a historically tough fabric. A Scottish sailmaker created oilskin in 1793 by soaking sailcloth with linseed oil to make it shed water. A wonderfully effective process, but we've made it even more efficient. Our Bushman's Raincoat is made in England from fabric supplied by the same Scottish sailmaking company, using the finest long-fiber cotton with a special oil-and-wax finish. A true miracle fabric - waterproof yet breathable, and nearly as durable as Ayers Rock. The jackeroos commonly keep their raincoats for 20 years or more.

Mac's jacket is the same shade of Khaki, has a shiny finish, as described above, has the same "Throat Latch", two large flap pockets, adjustable wrist strap and exterior storm-flap.

When watching the episode, you can see that the weight of the jacket is less than that of a traditional denim cowboy duster. Light can be seen passing through the shoulder cape.

Again, like with Jack's leather jacket, I'm confident this is what Mac wore, given that numerous other pieces of clothing worn by the various actors came from Banana Republic.

What do you think?

pretty cool.

anyone know where i can get a pair of the white NIKE Court Force High Tops?

I think I've seen some comments in here of people buying the retro high tops etc on Ebay. It would be nice if there was a retro store which sold all this kind of thing though wouldn't it.

There's 11 listings right now on Ebay under the search term "NIKE Court Force High Tops".

I DID IT!

I found another jacket, identical to that worn by Mac during an episode of Season 4. I will post a picture as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow.

Won't be able to post a picture today, as I ran out of time before I had to go to work. Hopefully tomorrow, before I attend my buddy's wedding.
