Supposedly, Fury Road takes place between the first two films where the damage and repair stitching detail on the jacket and pants hasn't been done yet to this extent, so that's a mistake on the productions part.Īnyway, to continue, Max's costume for this film has a few new pieces, he's wearing some kind of long sleeve thermal shirt, a backpack with some type of shoulder rig that has some magazines and other misc items. Even though this was done for consistency for the franchise, the jacket and pants match the appearance for the events taking place in Beyond Thunderdome. From what I read doing research, is for the film, production used one of the original jackets from the last movie, borrowed from a collector and basically matched it stitch for stitch.

As you can see, Tom Hardy is wearing basically the same jacket and pants as worn in Mad Max 2 and Beyond Thunderdome, more specifically the Thunderdome version as it has the same stitching simulating repair that has been done to the jacket and pants over time.
