I just picked up the Hot Topic coat and quite like it. It would be nice if the trim was real leather, but all in all I'm pleased with it.
Any chance you could post some pictures of it? I'm interested in getting it aswell!
The actual coat isn't wool though, the costume designer said it was a dyed cotton.
After having seen the movie I'm pretty sure the top pocket with the tentacle coming out of it shouldn't be there, but it is sort of a fun edition.
Love the scarf. Would you be willing to share the specifics? Needle size, stitches per inch/row, etc? I'm most interested in whether you knit it in the round. I never saw any purling in the movie so I'm guessing that's how it was done and the purl stitches are on the inside.
Thank you for the info. After watching the movie do you think the yellow is also marled? It looked that way to me in the theatre.
I think the boots in the movie are probably not m-1943 combat boots, but some made just for the film, but those look really close! Nice find!
Here is a decent image of his boots that I found online.
