Walking Dead Rick Jacket

I’ll get some photos later for you!

collectronik · Jun 21, 2023

Evening, here are some more photos of the jacket on me. Well, various beings actually. If you need anymore just let me know, hope they help. I must admit that the jacket fits well and feels good to wear. I got this as I actually want to wear it. It was a custom order as I didn’t fit the mould and to my surprise they got it spot on. So, happy with the fit. For those that want screen accuracy there are still some areas lacking that are included on other brands such as double stitching in various places, hopefully the previous photos will highlight those. The cuffs on mine are quite large but I attribute this to me asking them to add an inch to the sleeve length, so I guess they just added it to the cuff instead of remaking the sleeve to look in proportion. In all I’m happy for the most part and it does look great so I won’t sweat the small stuff too much.

Hey that's a nice replica you got there. I have one question, do the shoulders still box up when you raise your arms?

Lengthening the cuff in order to lengthen the sleeves? That's just silly...

Yes. It’s the only thing that makes sense, every other jacket I see the buttons are much closer together on the cuff and the cuff appears, shorter. I’ll have a look at the original photos they sent when it was first made to make sure and come back. Im trying to figure out if the collar is cut “screen accurate” as well. The width of the shearling differs on each side. You can see this in the pictures I posted with my hands as reference.

Below is a photo I took, and the one they sent me telling me it was ready prior to shipping. Clearly, the cuffs are longer in mine. Not sure if that is a pattern thing or not, but they still look larger in comparison to all the others I’ve seen. So I assume the additional inch was added here as it was an easy fix.

Looks good, if you don't mind me asking, how long did yours take to ship? Is this the "upgraded" version?

Not at all, I ordered mine February 2nd this year. So the best part of 4.5 months. However I was sent photos of the jacket finished 3rd May and I was asked to check the measurements and confirm I was happy. I asked for the sleeve length to be changed and accepted that this would incur a delay. So I guess from order, to being told it was complete initially, 3 months. Shipping was quite quick when it went. The extra month I accept due to my alteration request.

Yeah Suzahdi is also one of the best replicas but I'm not a fan of the shearling or color of the suede. So I am doing the same thing as Prime40 and going to dye it that dark chocolate brown color and replace the shearling with a more accurate and finer quality because to be honest, the WSL shearling looks pretty cheap.

the UGG that is used in the show is in fact a chocolate brown sueded jacket as seen by the 3rd jacket video by J grimes on YouTube. In the sunlight it shows more as a regular brown, but in dim lighting and dark it is chocalate brown.

The dye that I reccomended to you will in fact get it to that color as shown in my video. If you need another video of it to be sure, I will post one as soon as I get it back.

Speaking of altering the jacket, do you recall the name of the newest shearling you found at Joann's?

RegularJoe · Jun 22, 2023

If only Ugg kept making it until rick started wearing it, then they could have seen a massive opurtunity and promote it the most. I bet you especially with how popular TWD was during that time, they could have made a crap ton of sales on the belfast bomber.

I actually can’t recall tbh. I remember tried asking what material it was, but Joanns doesn’t go off of the actual name of the material but instead by it’s serial number, I can do some digging for you tho if you’d like. I can probably find it if I go to my local Joann’s.

Sorry, yes it is the upgraded version. Well, I am told it was as there were some communication issues and they obliged me with an upgrade. It’s a nice jacket.

I don't suppose you could send a few more photos of the collar up close? Still waiting on mine and I'm too eager!

That would be great, thank you.

I’ve seen a few UGG coats with shearling on, and one shearling jacket for sale on eBay. Might be worth looking at those and getting the real thing if the the same? Someone has already done it in an earlier post, maybe not the cheapest way but it could be the best option for accuracy.
