Re: BLADE RUNNER 2049: Officer K (Ryan Gosling) Jacket/Coat - PICS updated Oct. 23
How is this coming along? Any luck with the waterproof coating yet?
Looking further into the usage of material on the original coat, it seems that it was indeed standard cotton canvas that was first laminated with a polyurethane or some such, and then painted to give it texture and take off the shine before the coat was put together.
I'm not even sure what type of paint you'd use. Perhaps the same kind of stuff you'd paint onto leather? Would it have been a translucent paint or are we thinking the green tint comes from the paint finish and not the material itself...gah so many questions.
The cotton > laminate > paint combination certainly explains why all of us have had such a hard time nailing the material/finish. The waterproof finishing covered with a paint is probably what early buyers mistook for leather.
Is any of the above finish even sustainable in a long term coat - with costume pieces, they only have to worry about them lasting the shoot. Surely the paint would wear off over time?
What I'm asking is, is anyone likely to be able to replicate the cotton > laminate > paint finish on a replica or is that the stuff of dreams?
