Ryan Gosling 'K' - Blade Runner 2049!

Serious question: is the collar up accuracy really a focal point? I don’t live where it would be cold enough regularly to pop the collar.

As a side note Mechanismo and Shahrooz are making me want to explore getting the long version of this coat again…..

By its very design, the 'collar up' accuracy is in direct correlation with the 'collar down' accuracy. If you nail one, you nail the other and vice versa.

By the 'short version,' you're referring to the jacket cut/design as offered by Soul Revolver, right? Looks pretty cool, I have to say.

Not sure about focal point but I do agree with Mechanismo that the funnel shape just looks better.
Glad to hear that. I still dont understand why you gave up on that gorgeous piece of clothing. I am sure you can pull it off. Update on my alterations and a minor setback. Fur I had selected turned out to be subpar quality, as you know. Tailor confirmed that it would be a mistake to replace real sheepskin with my faux sherpa only to have to replace it again when the sherpa breaks down in the future. So the search continues. Looks like I will need to make a trip to LA's 'fashion district' (questionable part of town) to find what I'm looking for. Tailor says that it doesnt make sense to move the collar without also replacing the shearling at the same time and i see his point. In the meantime, if anyone wants pictures, happy to post them with the coat as is. Pretty much looks like Scotty's in his post from a week or so ago, but still, happy to do it. I hope to have the replacement shearling by the end of next week so the finished coat should be 3 or 4 weeks away. Fingers cross

Heading down to a questionable part of LA to source some artificial animal substitute? Sounds about right! Haha.

Personally, I'm down with replacing my shearling every few years if need be. All due respect to the tailor, who probably thinks we're all nuts.

Good points. When I had my Magnoli the colar up fit me but i never considered the shape and accuracy. I was ok with the collar down and the magnets held it great.

The short version is the Soul Revolver waist coat. I get more wear out of it than i did the trench coat. It has the cool stuff from the screen accurate (offset/uneven collar, green is-it-leather-or-not color and shearling) in a more conservative design.

Shahrooz how quickly will faux shearling wear out? Can’t be that quickly can it?
I had my other one augmented enough to where my tailer rolled her eyes when she saw me in the shop… lol

To me, Magnoli's is as much of a "Blade Runner 2049-inspired coat" as Soul Revolver's 'jacket cut' coat. It is not a screen accurate replica by any stretch of the imagination.

I agree. And it worked for me. The collar was a little more subdued than WSL and SR. So that was a draw. But ultimately i didn’t wear it much and let it go cheap.

Thanks for all the research and info.U got me seriously considering an accurate long version now…..

He said six months or so. Not sure how accurate that is but also not sure I want to risk it, Truth be told, the color was off anyway and when placed next to the coat, did not look good with the faded green. Think I'll need to stick with a true camel/dark khaki color.

I would do SR's waist length coat over Magnoli's any day. And WSL over Magnoli as well. Especially as modified per your instructions.

ironic, isn't it?

Sorry to keep posting. But since you fellows got me back on this coat....
On the collar. I think the shape and repositioning of the short side further back and disconnected from the lapel is spot on.
That makes the other side overlap or go past the edge of the lapel by the distance it has been shifted on the floppy side.
The pics on a mannequin and in the movie make it look like it doesn't overlap or go past the lapel on the floppy long side when down.

My question is this: should the collar length also be adjusted shorter so it doesn't go past the lapel when flopped under? if it is will it still wrap around when flipped up ?

in this pic it looks like it lines up exactly with the edge of the lapel ,with no excess, when the coat is closed and the color flipped.

in your pics wearing it Mechanismo it looks awesome and really screen accurate , just curious on this. I am guessing the magnets probably take care of it no problem .

Malibu139 thanks for bringing up this subject. It's worth exploring. Here's my view. First of all, in some shots of the movie coat, the collar does appear to extend past the lapel, like this in this photo. So it's debatable weather it should line up perfectly with the lapel or overlap a bit.

So, there's two ways of doing it I suppose: move the collar so its SA placement to be more flush with the neck on the short side (which is absolutely key, in my view) and simply remove whatever excess or "spillover" you have on the other end. This of course, would require some skilled tailoring work.

Personally, I think it's a bit of a moot point, because when you're wearing the coat, that "excess" part of the collar is almost always underneath the lapel and unseen. Also, yes, you have the magnets to hold it in place (on either corner of the collar itself or latching on to the back of the lapel.) Also, let's remember that when you pop the collar up, you have the added bonus of having a bit more room so it won't be so tight around the face, which is the recurring problem with a lot of coat providers anyway.

Anyway, that's how I see it. I hope it answers your questions.

Mechanismo thanks . I saw that pic on the mannequin and something looks odd. The lapel flap doesn't go all the way over to almost touch the short side collar like on the pic from the movie. Also it looks like the top of the flipped up part would be below the nose in that pic making the bottom crumple and appear to have excess material. I wonder if it was higher, level and positioned on the chin properly if it would be closer to the lapel edge ?

As to the magnets , do they hold the end edge of the collar and the edge of the lapel together and almost square? if so does the excess just fold or crinkle under/behind the lapel like you said.

Your collar is custom right with the curvature to be a cone shape when flipped ?

Im also not sure how one could use magnets to hold the longer piece put under the lapel. but i think Mechanismo has figured it out.

My magnoli had magnets on each corner ( the lapel and the long collar part) that held the collar to the lapel in the proper orientation under/behind the lapel. I thought WSL, Zlurpo and Magnoli had these magnets ?

Also had a magnet to hold the short side in place too so it folded over and stayed in place

I cant comment on the rest, but SR doesnt have magnets on the long collar side but I want to install one and see if I can use it to keep the collar in place under the lapel

Agreed that the lapel edge looks weird/wonky in that photo. It might not even be lying flat against the coat, thus giving the impression of being shorter.

I'm out of town at the moment, but when I get back I'll take some pics to show you the magnet positioning both on the collar and the lapel to illustrate how the collar edge is held in place.

Yes, my collar is curved/tapered using the specs I got off the 1:6 Officer K figure's coat.

Write up about that and shearling alterations here.

I emailed Soul Revolver again about the collar alterations.
"
As previously stated, no changes will be made to the Blade Runner pattern.

It will take awhile for the shearling. I have no information on that.

Regards,

SeAnn"

I could share my take on this, but it seems like they've got a firm opinion that it's fine the way it is.

That's fine, but they should omit "screen accurate replica." False advertising, through and through.

It’s unfortunate. With the material they have SR is only a collar shift, faux shearling , and some magnets away from spot on.

Might have to put my Soul Revolver 2049 waist coat up in the junkyard to fund a new long coat per Mechanismo research and info…
