“Tunguska” Leather Jacket (Original Model)

Appearance: The X-Files, episode “Tunguska" (4X08), which premiered on the Fox network on November 26, 1996.

Worn by character: Alex Krycek

Played by actor: Nicholas Lea

Acquired: August 2025

Item information: This leather jacket is not a reproduction. It's the actual original model of Alex Krycek’s leather jacket worn in the episode. Not the screen-used garment, but the exact same model. Manufactured probably in the mid-1990s. Aside from the distressing it's overall in solid condition with no damage. Treating it with a quality leather conditioner (like “Pecard”) would make it even better, but I haven’t felt the need to do so yet.

Update: What you see below is a second one I acquired in February 2026. The first one (August 2025) had much more fading on the collar, both inside and out, and especially on the upper back. Hence I'm glad to have replaced the older one with this one.
