Watchmen: Rorschach Trenchcoat?

Man, we at least have to find out who the desginer is. I figured it would be a regular, run-of-the-mill trench but after closer analysis I realized the collar was altered and the length was hemmed to sit higher than a normal trench. C'mon, CT hope you pull through!
 
It would make sense to modify an off-the-rack jacket, huh?

We'll know soon enough. :)

Have you bought the fedora? I'm interested in seeing what people have to say about them.

I believe the designer is Michael Wilkinson who did 300 with Snyder. Directors tend to stick with a certain production team once they've established a strong one.
 
Here are some shots I found. Good pic of the hat, ribbon looks velvet purple?....

I heard some rumors that the Comedian's fur robe, seen in the opening killing scene, was a found item...but then again...can never be too sure!
 
Keep in mind that you're looking for a waxed cotton trench. Barbour used to make some (Collingwood?) in that style But I don't remember if they ever made them in that color.
 
I've recently sourced some waxed cotton in black and dark brown. I think the dark brown I have may be a little too dark for an accurate Rorschach trenchcoat, so I'll see if I can get it a step lighter. Once I do, I should be able to do an accurate trenchcoat in the right material for around $495...

Kind regards,
Magnoli
