I was wondering why Hallyday's character owned 2 leather jackets,
one with fringe one without. We see the fringe jacket in the scene
where Rochefort pretends to be a cowboy and Hallyday's photo from days gone
by falls out.
Funnily enough, given the size of Hallyday's travel bag, he'd have room
for the extra jacket and maybe a pair of underwear.
I was thinking that the fringe jacket may have been Johnny Hallyday's
trademark when he was a rock-n-roller? Anyone have an ideas?
Hallyday used to work in a circus (he says) so perhaps the jacket represents that part of his life.
shareI was wondering about that too. My guess is that he needs a disguise if he is going to rob the bank so one jacket is for the robbery. Although another black leather jacket is not exactly a good disguise.

That also confused the heck out of me. The scene made more sense to me if I just pretended that there was only one jacket and there was an error made in production and editing. ;-)
shareTwo jackets could be another clue that he is secretly a "planner"
sharethis is a good one, but I also wondered if - playing on the sphagetti western element of the film and how the older man pretends to be a cowboy when he puts the jacket on - if in fact the jacket has no frills at all, and that we are seeing it here as the older man does in his imagination, like a child would.

It's always possible, and in my opinion, probable that Rocheforts character owned the one with fringes himself.

Mmmm, I don't think so. It was laying on the chair in the room where Johnny slept and that photo of Johnny fell out of the pocket.
