"Get Shorty" Harry Zimm's (Gene Hackman) Jacket

Description

A memorable production-made costume piece from the acclaimed crime-comedy “Get Shorty” (1995), this jacket was created for the character Harry Zimm, portrayed by Academy Award winner Gene Hackman. Based on the bestselling novel by Elmore Leonard, the film became a fan favorite for its sharp Hollywood satire, all-star cast, and stylish blend of comedy and crime.

The jacket is constructed from vibrant purple nylon and features matching fabric trim at the collar, sleeve cuffs, and waistband, giving it a classic lightweight bomber-style appearance synonymous with mid-1990s casual fashion. The reverse showcases an eye-catching embroidered design depicting a creature’s hand emerging from a swamp, with “SLIME CREATURES” embroidered beneath the artwork.

A distinctive and visually striking piece of costume memorabilia from “Get Shorty,” this jacket is an outstanding collectible for fans of Gene Hackman, movie costume collectors, and enthusiasts of cult-favorite 1990s cinema.
