Really interested to see the outcome of this out of curiosity, although even if i'd waited, $700-800 as a ballpark figure is way out of my price range for a replica costume piece.
I was also under the impression that the jacket was heavily modified by the costume team after it was delivered (painted to change the color then laminated) so who knows what it originally looked like? I'm curious will they replicate the coat as it was delivered to the set or as it's seen in the final film? Or if they will do as many companies do and 'adapt' the design to make it more consumer friendly.
Please keep us updated.
