...and I'm realizing now that one of those shots I included seems to do a really good job of showing that "Center Seam" you mentioned (that goes from Under the Yoke Flap down to where that "pleat" is) Jameel

Absolutely loving this thread and very excited to see how the details going into this coat. Mitch Larue.... I'm definitely excited about your coat because me and you seem to be about the same size I usually wear a XL T-shirt because I don't like anything fitted and like a little more room. I'm'm 5' 11 and right around 200lbs athletic build. So I'm thinking a XL in size but can't wait to see what your coat looks like. Really liking all the input everyone is doing for this coat, And the allowed input from the maker.

I just posted some words letting folks know about this run on the Facebook Pages for both “BLADE RUNNER PROPS (PROPSUMMIT)” and also “BLADE RUNNER ART, FASHION & PHOTOGRAPHY 2019/2049”
Really lovely folks over there
Hopefully this will help get the word out and redirect some people over THIS way

Just re-watching Blade Runner (again) and saw something I hadn’t noticed previously and wanted to mention it as a point of interest
When Deckard get out of his car at The Bradbury Building at the start of the Final act of the movie, he’s wearing his trench coat buttoned-up (with the collar flipped up and buttoned) and the belt tied tightly around his waist…
I'm sure everyone knows that part
But for several seconds while he’s turned away from us (and facing away from the camera), you can clearly see that the bottom part of the Back of the trench coat has a sort of stitched “pinch” of the coat material
It sits at the top of Ford’s butt (just under where the belt rests)
It’s sort of a Pleat-type of gather (I don’t know what else to call it), but it starts Where the beginning of a slit would be IF that’s what it was … but it’s not.
Instead, it seems to be designed to pull together some of the roominess of the back of the coat …
but if it’s considered a “pleat” then it also seems to be the Only one back there
I've included 2 shots that were the best I could do to capture it
Jameel, is this the sort of thing you’re looking to do?
Thanks
What makes you certain that this isn't a slit/vent? Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong spot on your photos...but personally, I just see the top of a vent that's slightly spread apart in this shot. I think there's a pleat or gusset of some kind behind the slit, going at least partway down the length of the vent? A quick google tells me that this feature is called a "wedge vent":
Wait, really? I haven't watched the movie in a while, so I can't recall if there are any clear shots of the full-length coat from behind. I just remember that several replicas--including Magnoli's and, I believe, an earlier sample of yours--had vents from the bottom up to mid-thigh level. Was that proven to be inaccurate?
When I made my sample I didn't know about it, one of member shared some solid references here, and I rewatch movie and notice it.
You can see clearly when Deckard meets to lady first time and he walks slowly so coat back center seam clearly visible.
Here are more images for reference.
Interesting thing is no one knows about it before although 40 years gone.
I very thankful for everyone who sheared their thoughts, information.

Huh! Good to know!
My order is in, payment and measurements sent.
Loving all the detective work on this.
It's so funny because I'm the opposite. I'm like, enough already, mystery solved. Start sewing.

I'm torn! I wanna see one if you guys in one but I'm also the type to keep going so there's no need for a revision in the future. First world problems, hahaha
