No, I used a faux shearling from Mood Fabrics (below). It's sold out but I have plenty left over if anyone wants some.

Is the eBay seller name “indy-magnoli”?

Those photos are straight from magnolias website. I feel sorry for whoever buys one of these at that price off of eBay....

Ahahaha wow. The company ripping off Indy's photos, calling itself Jasper, says:
Ethical Conduct and Integrity:
We value lifestyle in our organization where ethics like truth, honesty, integrity and fair play are basic ingredients while interacting within the organization or deal with the outside world.
What a bunch of assh*les. I hope nobody actually gets scammed by these misleading listings. I know eBay (at least used to) have policies against selling items with misleading or stolen photos, so I reported the listing. “Report this listing” - “listing practices” - “fraudulent listing activities” - “you suspect that a listing is fraudulent”. I recall there being an option in the past when reporting items like this that specifically mentioned misleading or inaccurate product photos, but I couldn’t find anything like that. Either way I’m not sure if reporting it to eBay is actually going to accomplish anything, just thought it might have been worth a shot. I hate seeing people getting scammed.
We've got an account with Vero, eBay's copyright department. It'll just take one e-mail to point this out and eBay will pull it. The problem is that, even though eBay does pull these auctions, I don't think the seller actually gets punished. I could be wrong. Thanks for posting it!

Looking more closely at this scene, I was surprised to find that the goon coats might be in the style Baracuta G10 Modern Classic - Barapel (not the waxed one). Having the oilskin G10 on hand, I instantly noticed the pocket detail of this jacket on the right-hand goon (picture blows up to 6000 px wide).

The general fit and length seems similar. A detail that I can't discern from pictures I've found so far is whether the goon coats have the Baracuta "umbrella" back vent, a horizontally-scalloped piece on the back. Another detail to look for is the distinctive sort of trapezoidal belts on the cuffs. I will try to find more goon pictures online, but I don' have the film yet.
Edit: At 3:11 on a Youtube video of the fight, I think I see the distinctive belt on the cuff, using "," and "." to scrub frame-by-frame. Also at 3:18. I can't make out any detail on the backs of their coats in this video, though.

Varnish on coat test:
Okay. I had a chance to test the liquitex satin varnish on some cotton canvas material tonight.
The test:
I did two swatches.
left side: A full strength solution painted directly on the fabric, fully soaking the material with the solution.
right side: I rinsed and rang out the swatch with water, dabbed dry with a towel, then I brush applied the solution onto the fabric.
I let both dry.
the results:
Visual appearance; there was no discoloration or darkening of the fabric.
Slightly more shiny in appearance.
Texture: both results feel very much like a waxed cotton in terms of how the fabric has a memory. The full strength version wrinkles more and is slightly more stiff.
The re-soaking test:
Both fabrics lost their wrinkles when I re applied water.
the left version repelled water better than the right side.
The fabric appears darker as it is still wet with water.
I think it works. I’m going to at least attempt it on my coat when it arrives.

Which coat will this be for? The WSL one? Sorry if you've already said.
Hey dude keep us updated on your progress, I may follow suit and do the same with my Zlurpo.

oh ok, how's the shearling looking on that one? Are you weathering it at all?
They haven't been shipped yet, so as far as I know, no one has them in hand yet :\

I've noticed people attempting to get a certain color by waxing their coats, but has anyone given though to actually adding wax dye to the wax before applying to the coat? (just a random thought/ pretty sure someone already thought of this dou 
)

Honestly, I'd just go the route they went on the original costume piece.
If you're not happy with the color, paint it using something like liquitex fabric acrylic (Renee April confirmed they painted the coats because they didn't like the color)
Unsure of using their soft body or heavy body paint, but whichever is recommended for painting onto fabric.
I'd go with this shade personally
From the Liquitex color charts - dark Green (almost black) with hues of blue.
Then use the liquitex varnish to give it that leather like shine and seal the paint in.

Ofcourse I haven't done this yet - I don't think anyone has - but this is the route I'll likely be going. Also much more screen accurate than wax and still waterproof!
