Jason's (Kane Hodder) screen-matched costume from James Isaac's sci-fi slasher sequel Jason X. A group of students discovered and accidentally awoke the cryogenically frozen Jason during a school field trip to Earth. Jason's costume became gradually more distressed as he slaughtered and tormented the teens on their spaceship. The jacket matches the one seen on screen for much of the film through the stitching down the left shoulder. During filming, his hockey mask rubbed against his neck shackle, scratching away the paint in places. This pattern of wear matches the lot to the shackle seen both on screen, after Jason electrocuted Crutch (Philip Williams), and on the film's official poster.
Around 40 different sets of shirts and trousers were made for Jason during the production, each featuring different levels of distress and bullet holes. Designed by Maxyne Baker, this costume includes a heavily torn and distressed brown leather straitjacket, which is labelled "130 HERO" and features a rubber shoulder attachment made to appear like metal. Sewn to the right wrist are some Velcro® patches, which were used to secure Jason's hand shackles in place. The costume also comprises a grey shirt, which is labelled "Jason Sc. 45 D" and features numerous bullet holes, with hand-painted latex wounds and Velcro® patches on the left wrist; a pair of similarly distressed grey trousers labelled "Jason Sc. 45 C, D"; a pair of black leather fingerless gloves; a pair of black Landrover leather boots; a rubber-and-metal neck shackle; and a rubber hand shackle. It is accompanied by a certificate of authentication from New Line Cinemas.
