David Duchovny as Hank Moody in a production photo from “LOL”, Episode 1.05 of Californication.
Plenty of Californication fans have been hoping for the last seven years to get the details of the brown leather jacket Hank gets from Bill in “LOL” (Episode 1.05) and wears a few more times in the show’s run. I posted about the jacket back in January 2013, but just this week I learned that the jacket will be sold at auction!
With Californication ending on June 29, 2014, plenty of items from the show’s run are part of a massive 299-item auction with personal items from all of the show’s major characters, with clothing, sunglasses, accessories, and documents handled by Hank, Karen, Becca, Charlie, and even more season-specific characters like Lew Ashby and Rath.
Finally, we’re getting confirmed makers of Hank’s clothing:
- black and navy t-shirts from James Perse “Standard” (size 1 or 2)
- blue jeans from Earnest Sewn with “Fulton” 06B straight leg fit (size 32×32, 33×32, 33×33, or 34×33)
- some button-up shirts from Mossimo, a brand now exclusive to Target stores (size medium)
…as well as the Timberland Torrance boots that Hank has made even more popular. The most desired item, however, will undoubtedly be the coveted brown leather jacket. For the first time (from what I can see), the jacket has been revealed as made by Blur Leather based out of Los Angeles.
The auction site reads:
There are few items available from the first season, so this light brown leather Blur zip-up jacket, size 54 (44 U.S.), with a really cool liner, is especially valuable.
Photos from the specific jacket page, lot 283, are below:
Be sure to browse all of the nearly 300 items; Californication fans will certainly find something reminding them of their favorite character!
