Blade Runner - Best Rick Deckard Trenchcoat

[JohnnyCanuck]

Hi all,

First of all - this is a great community with lots of great information. Have had an excellent time exploring for the last few days.

I have always loved Blade Runner and just took the leap by ordering a Paragon FX blaster - just awaiting its arrival. Now I have the bug and have been surfing this site for the last few days which led to me ordering a Rick Deckard wallet and associated cards, the origami unicorn, a blaster stand etc.

Anyways, I was wondering where to find the best Rick Deckard overcoat. Two of the best options seem to be from Magnoli and Excellent Leather Shop. Is one better than the other? Are there other options I should be considering? Is Magnoli the best bet for the rest of Deckard's outfit? Greatly appreciate any input. Thanks!

I haven't seen either of them in person, but Excellent Leather Shop's comes the closest of any replica I've seen for sale to getting the drape and texture of the fabric right. I'm thinking of remaking mine for yet a fourth time using lighter material to try and recreate the crinkly effect.

Thanks for the feedback Cameron! I will likely lean in that direction.
