Mission ImBossible
Go check out MI:4 and you’ll notice a poly/cotton cameo by Bruce Springsteen. After aborting a mission inside the Kremlin Ethan Hunt sheds his disguise as a high ranking Russian official into a nerdy American tourist complete with glasses, a map and this Born in the USA tour tee.
But is it real or a repro commissioned for the flick? We’re definitely familiar with the design. And it has some true vintage qualities- ie the design fade and a stretched neck as if the tee had taken a pounding over the years. But like the world of Mission Impossible nothing in film making is what it seems.
There’s no reason Cruise couldn’t fit into a genuine vintage t-shirt – he’s not exactly Arnold Schwarzenegger sized. But some stars have an aversion to wearing used clothing – Peter Fonda reportedly refused to wear vintage during the height of his career forcing costume designers to reproduce his clothes. Boo!

![[ LINK IN BIO ] In honor of May the 4th we connected with a gentleman named Shawn whose father, Ira, worked for ILM. He designed the Biker Scout, need we say more? Shawn shared an epic tale of a bootleg Star Wars tee his dad heroically stashed away despite George Lucas' attempt to have it destroyed.

So it appears as though the chances of this being vintage have increased with this quote from the film’s costume designer Michael Kaplan:
“MK: When Ethan flees The Kremlin he reverses his
Russian uniform jacket, creating yet another disguise, that of a tourist
– a casual nylon jacket over a Bruce Springsteen T shirt. The uniform
jacket was custom built with a nylon “jacket” lining. The T shirt is my
own.”

Just watched Summer School with Mark Harmon – he wears the exact same t-shirt.
