I never liked Ben Burtt...
Lets leave it at that lol
As for the Jacket... As I said earlier in this thread... what something looks like in reality, is NOT what it looks like on film. Clothing, walls, paint, everything looks different after being filmed due to lighting and other affects.
You ahve to take that into account and kinda accept it as a form of... stylized reality...
What may look blue to one camera is brown to another and so on and so fourth...
