i found jay’s black jacket (an ID guide)

This black jacket is worn by Jay about 9 times throughout Marble Hornets, including his final appearance. And after some weeks of on-and-off research, I think I know the exact make and model.

This post will detail exactly how I found it, and serve as a guide for anyone that wants to find the jacket, whether that's for cosplay purposes, or if you're just keen on collecting items related to MH.

Main post under the cut

Intro

The first step to identifying the jacket was to gather as many references as possible.

I went back to the web series and took screenshots from any entries the jacket makes an appearance. (shoutout to mg549′s very comprehensive MH wardrobe guide, without it this would’ve been much more of a pain)

Jay's jacket is, for the most part, very plain. It's a solid color, full-zip jacket, without any particularly eye-catching logos or other details. I had to look for moments where even the slightest distinction appeared clear on camera, at least as distinct as it can be. Even if it was just close-ups to get the shape of a zipper, or how many buttons are on a sleeve, it was the best I got. While I did manage to find a decent amount of these, there was just one crucial detail that would've made finding it near-impossible; the brand is never shown. Thankfully, I had another resource.

In 2018 Troy Sold a Lot of Stuff

In early 2018, Troy officially announced that MH would be continued in a comic series. To fund the first issue, he held a number of auctions for production items used during the web series on Ebay.

These included items such as Jay’s camera, Brian’s hoodie, A Masky mask, and Jay’s black jacket.

Lo and behold, the jacket listing includes a picture with the brand in clear view. It's from Gap.

Ebay does not archive sold listings older than 90 days. However, Worthpoint, a website for valuing and pricing collectibles, does. Using Worthpoint I was able to find all of these items, (and a lot more, which can be found in this doc I submitted to Archive Hornets)

Identification

With the picture from the listing and the series screencaps, I had a complete ID list.

(Top image is from the Ebay listing, with the contrast adjusted a little for easier viewing. The bottom two images are from Entry #79)

The Gap logo (This specific logo dates the jacket being made anywhere between 1986 and 2009, when it first appears).

Front Zipper (Note the shape)

The two front pockets

The two buttons and pointed cuffs on each sleeve (Second one is a little hard to see but it's jusstt peeping out at the side)

The blue piping in the inner lining

The zipper in the right side inner lining

The gray mesh inner lining

With these in mind, I could now go to the next and longest step-

Finding the Jacket

I combed three resell sites; Ebay, Depop, and Poshmark. My main goal wasn't to actually purchase the jacket, (although, I would like to at some point) but to find a jacket listing that had every identifier, and have a more definite baseline for finding others. I needed to be sure what I had was enough to properly ID the jacket. The references I had stitched together were decent enough, but I wanted to see if there was something better out there.

After tons of page scrolling and tab-switching and comparing and contrasting, I finally got lucky.

(first two images are from crashthecloset's listing on poshmark, last six are from shannfo-76 on ebay)

I haven't bought one myself as of posting, but I feel pretty confident this is it. The jackets were already sold, but every marker seemed to be accounted for. It also revealed new ones, like the reflective pattern and pockets on the inner lining, (zipper on the right side pocket, button on the left pocket) and the materials tag.

With that, here's some final notes that may be helpful if you try looking for the jacket yourself:

Online sellers often describe it as a light jacket, a windbreaker, a 2-in-1, or 3-in-1.

"Gap Mens Black Jacket" is the search phrase I used the most since it yielded a (very) broad result pool.

Most of the jackets I found came from Poshmark or Ebay.

The exact size of Jay’s jacket is unclear. My best guesses are either a US Men’s S or M, since Jay was pretty skinny and of average height. I’ve only been able to find maybe 2 jackets that are a size M, one of which is the first pic in the photoset above.

Gap has sold other black jackets that look remarkably similar to Jay’s, and they do pop up on resell sites. One of these was so similar, the only discernible difference was the style of the logo. I highly recommend making sure it matches the exact one Jay had before purchasing. (It's also more than fine to ask/msg me if you have any doubts!) As long as you know what to look for, you shouldn’t have a problem finding at least one.

One detail that confounded me was this sleeve poking out of Jay's jacket. At first I thought he was wearing a long sleeve underneath, making this shot a continuity error since he appeared to Only be wearing the green short sleeve under the jacket.

@hivemite pointed out that this might be a two-in-one jacket, which has multiple layers for different types of weather. While I have not been able to see the sleeve outside of two shots in entry #79 and #80, one listing I found did describe it as a 3-in-1.

that's about it! hope this helps :)

#marble hornets #jay merrick #ref #over and out #long post #happy entry 80 day. heres some extra tidbits just for the tags #at least two listings called this y2k which is really funny.#it is also strangely difficult to find these in sizes smaller than large #another thing kinda related. worthpoint is a shitty site unfortunately #as you can see with the jacket description. in which it apparently ‘‘works and comes with a charging cable’’#<- i mean that Couldve been an error on the original ebay listing #however that is. impossible to verify now unless someone somewhere had a screenshot #but each mh item from this particular auction there had consistently bad errors that inclines me to say that wasnt the case #ok this went too long for a few extra tidbits but can you tell i lost my mind

the evolution of the operator symbol over the course of the series is so endlessly fascinating to me, because like. Alex came up with the symbol and only ever really used it on his hypergraphia papers, which we don't really see him do much (if at all) after season one

but Brian,, Brian uses that symbol constantly. It's basically a signature by the end of the series - he leaves it on Tim's medical records, and on the back of Alex's photo of Amy, and on the note he left for Jay about Benedict Hall - he even uses it in his final video to unveil his name - it's self-referential, but he doesn't ever really seem to use it to denote The Operator the way Alex did?

Like, to me it really does seem like he basically appropriated it. "This is the symbol you created for the thing that was hunting you, but now I'm the thing that's hunting you" - like, hh fuck dude, Looking At You

#N posts stuff #marble hornets #totheark #mh lb #i was thinking about this last night and just rewatched all of the totheark videos to check my own work lol #and like. even in the videos he uses it as a self-referential symbol #he uses it in Intermission - 'did you see me? i saw you'#he uses it in Reminder - 'do you remember me?' immediately followed by His footage of Jay at the antique store #he uses it in Decline - 'he will pay' denoting His revenge quest on Alex #sometimes there IS more ambiguity in its application - like in 'Inquiry' or 'memories'#where like maybe it could be denoting the effects of the operator's influence? but those are s2 and i'm Mostly talking about s3 #but i mean even in s1 the symbol shows up in the last frame of some videos like a signature/sign off #sorry brian is just so fascinating to me i want to study him like a beetle

"I hate how small this fandom I'm in is" then make it bigger?? You're part of the fandom, if there's no content you make that content.

#fandom #I've seen this complaint mainly on tiktok with stuff like marble hornets or fortnite (don't ask)#but the thing is like marble hornets isn't even a small fandom? Neither is fortnite?#I mean ok the gay fortnite community is small but its there yk #hope mutuals don't mind my fortniteposting recently #another #hell's paradise #jigokuraku #until dawn #final fantasy viii #any final fantasy game that isn't final fantasy vii #mlandersen0 #dororo #i want to put code geass but I see a lot more people coming back to it recently so it doesn't apply anymore #kill la kill #tasogare otome x amnesia #dusk maiden of amnesia

now i'm not really into mh for the Romance.. but i have noticed many pairings pop up over the course of this fandom and i'm wondering what you guys would consider to be your Favorite marble hornets pairing.

i'm kind of already predicting the top two answers (though i'm not sure which of those two would win) but maybe you'll surprise me!

reblog for sample size!!! i set this poll to 24 hours, so it's up to youu guys to make this do its rounds around mh tumblr... i need as much data as possible.

as for my thoughts: i am partial to any ship with alex in it (and i hc that he has had crushes on each of them at different points. and all at once) but i think my favorite is gonna have to be jaylex ("script supervisor"...)

but like most of you guys i also very much appreciate jam. and while i'm not too huge on tim/brian (as i know many of you Also are) i am Very much a fan of masky/hoody. i don't know if enough people understand the distinction to justify including masky and hoody pairings on top of tim and brian ones.

#sudz and dudz #maybe saying im not into mh for the romance is a lie because im having to stop myself from listing every pairing as one i enjoy #but i think my enjoyment of pairings is less of for their romantic appeal #but like. how their circumstances sully the relationship they each have with one another #and like. aruughhh memories of a more pure and warm relationship but it's now characterized by violence #i am not normal about them. is what i mean to say.#alex kralie #tim wright #mh jam #jay x tim #tim x brian #mh brim #brian thomas #jay marble hornets #jessica locke #marble hornets

Hot take Tbh the type of creepypasta fan that annoys me most are the ones who act like ALL of the fanon is oh so awful. Like I'm sorry but genuinely get a grip. Somebody making masky/hoody proxies in their slendermansion au isn't the same as somebody twinkifying masky or some shit

Also it's called AU for a reason

Like *obviously* mischaracterization is annoying and often even problematic, but people are still allowed to have fun and take creative liberties with their aus and what not.

#creepy pasta #creepypasta #crp #tbh im majorly directing this at tiktok MH and CP fans who do this #bc thats where i see alot of them #just bc somebody makes masky and hoodie friends doesnt mean “they havent watched marble hornets” lmao💀#is this an unpopular opinion?? idk
