That jacket looks like it's basically made of spandex, he pulls his right out but the left arm doesn't move, there is never that much slack in a jacket. I was recently at the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (abandoned) in WV and out guide said no one ever got out of a straight jacket.
@siggy2the3rdpower That jacket "looks" like a Posey with the green collar stripe. However, I have vid saved on my computer of a girl trying a small Posey with a red collar, it has friction buckles in the back as opposed to belt type buckles on this jacket. There are many gimmicked jackets for sale on the net, I looked at some today on e-bay. There are vids posted on YT of the abandoned Weston State Hospital if you are interested. Our guide said they had to put the jackets in the attic.
Get the facts accurate...Houdini didn't have the front strap...EVER. Another thing is that this performer never actually had his right hand underneath his elbow. The strap of his right hand was outside the elbow allowing slack as you can see given to him while reaching the other side for the buckle. The only escape artist that I have seen do it correctly is the king of straitjacket escapes and he goes by the name of Houdenny. Watch and see his skills. You'll be amazed!
In answer to lalocin85's comment of this being impossible... For you it may well be. But for a highly trained pro EA (like me) it is far from impossible. In fact you send me a Posey SJ from your stock room at work (I take a large btw, the one with yellow neck band) and I'll film myself escaping from it just for you. No gimmicks. No tricks. Your SJ. Let me know if you're up for it. Go to my website (link in my channel) to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
He used a few tricks that are obvious to the trained eye. When he crossed his arms, the sleeve of the right arm crossed over the left elbow, giving him the slack he needed to pull the buckle connecting the sleeves together to the point he could undo it with his teeth. Also, this is an older model posey with belt-style buckles... the newer friction buckle models provide a much closer fit. If it had been properly applied and a newer model, he would have had a harder time. Good dramatic escape tho.
This jacket is not old, its new. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are roller buckles on this.......they were modified by Mark Cannon. Notice how wide the straps are (1& 1/2" wide).....the old jacket had narrower straps. The arm buckle is gimmicked for quick release, that is why it was converted to roller buckles instead of friction buckles. Check out Cannons Great Escapes to see this product.
simple trick - cheat, I think. Sleeves go to wrong way and sleeves isn't enough tight - you can pull other sleeve and open your arms...

so, what does it take for a chance to try that on myself?

This is not escapology - just entertainment.
If the jacket had been properly applied - assuming it's not gimmicked, he'd never have got out.
The chains are just window dressing.

Yeah I saw a couple of things he did to gain slack, but i must admit you gotta have a set, to let the spectators chain you up like that!!!
