Equilibirum Grammaton Cleric Coat

TB7024 · 09-05-2011, 07:36 AM

The inner coat is sewn together and the back of the outer coat is together. Today I'll work on it all day and hope I make a ton of progress for the convention this weekend.

Back of coat

Movie reference

What's left to cut/sew/pin:
sleeves
collar
front of coat
front panel
buttons

what's left to buy:
gloves

Update:
Unfortunately I won't be able to finish my costume this weekend as I had planned, but I'm going to keep working on it and I'll be much happier with the end result than rushing to finish it.

Hello!

My name is Florian I am 21 years old and I am from Germany.
I am quiet new in this forum, but I was really amazed to see, that your messages here are quiet new and not 7 years old!
So I have registered with the speed of light to write you!
First of all, I will tell you why.
I also, like many other people really really really want this coat!
So I started to search through all of the wrldwide web and the onlyest developer/producer of this coat was abbyshot as you know.
And sure you also know, that they have stopped the production of it since a few years.
So.....I wrote an email, a realy big email with much "please" in it.
And they only said: "We are sorry, but we can't make more of it."

And so......I was really frustrated

And now I want to know what I can do, to get one of this "there is no word for it" coat in good quality.....?

Can you make one for me? Or anyone else? I think I have to say money is no problem cause beautiful things are easily cost money.

WHAT CAN I DO? PLEASE HELP ME! ANYONE!

Florian, I would recommend checking out this site and contacting her to commission the costume for you. The seamstress is great, I have seen her work in person and highy recommend her.
Strange Land Costuming I would tell her Zach sent you so then I can help give her my bluray movie reference shots. Check out her website to see the costumes she's made, and then contact her.

Falco90 · 09-11-2011, 03:08 PM

Thank you so much! I will do this immediately!

Fabric I bought

SSGT Kitten · 09-15-2011, 09:15 AM

What type of fabric is that? Gabardine?

I don't know what they used for the Black coat, but it had a satin twill texture, just like the one two posts before. The white suit is definetly (almost 100% sure, around 97%) made with heavy white twill.

Hey TB and all others!

I have already found the original watch!

"but it is fun to analyze" yes definitely

RPMs · 11-27-2011, 01:04 PM

Have you made any more progress on this project?

TB7024 · 11-27-2011, 01:45 PM

No progress on the project but I did get married! I'm going to try to finish this for a con in April so you should see some updates in the coming months.

superDrool · 11-27-2011, 02:08 PM

Interested in the progress as well as outcome of this one. Always loved the look and story of this one. As I found it on my own one day and have since raved about it to all my friends that care to hear my rambles.

Sandman0077 · 11-27-2011, 03:43 PM

I know for awhile there was a company called AbbyShop that sold the coats. If I remember correctly they were going for $300-400.

Falco90 · 11-27-2011, 03:53 PM

Yes, but I wrote them and they've said, that they don't make one more of the cleric coats.

PM Sent about contacting Strangeland Costuming for a commission.

Progress is slowly coming - I just need my wife to show me how to sew the lining to the outer coat.

Rikarus · 02-09-2012, 04:04 PM

awesome project, if you run into trouble on the coat try the mcalls M4745 Civil War Coat pattern it might mod easier for you and looks to have the right cut down the sides.

ObiWannabe · 02-13-2012, 10:25 PM

Argh. That might have been an easier mod. Although I don't have a copy of that one so can't attest to the front seaming.

I did complete a coat for Florian. It was an interesting project. And I wouldn't say no to doing it again.

Boy, was this thread a timely find for me. Like many in this thread I absolutely adore the design of the costumes in Equilibrium, and I too really want to sport this stylish coat..and I also conveniently want to get into sewing since a while back. This just might do it!

I have a pretty good starting point after reading through this thread, two different pattern suggestions to start from, an excellent image resource from the movie, button-talk, fabric-talk, but as always I'm greedy for more!

First thing's first, any word on that April update, TB? I'm really curious to see how your project is coming together, and I'm especially curious as to how the choice of fabric is panning out..is it close to the coat in the movie in its drape, weight and shininess?

Secondly, and perhaps this is a costuming faux pas as I have been surprised by how close to the chest patterns tend to be held, sold rather than shared freely for the most part, but is there any chance you(or anyone else for that matter!) would be willing to share where you've taken the pattern, what alterations you've made and such? There seems to be a lot of intricate details to get right, such as the 'fore-flap' on the coat, seemingly sewn on to one side of the 'main' coat, in the middle top of the 'flap', then buttoned down along the sides, and I'd be very interested in seeing what other people have noticed and made of those things.

TB7024 · 05-21-2012, 07:57 AM

I wasn't able to finish for the con as planned (no more deadlines for me

it'll get done when it's done). i've asked for assistance from my wife and now we're getting somewhere. I'll work on posting pics and answers to your questions sometime this week.
