Identifying General Hux's Trechcoat - Would Love Help for the Experts

[Studio 49]

I am looking to building the costume for new character General Hux from The Force Awakens since I look similar and have decided that I may fairly be able to assemble a face character and not always have to hide behind a mask.

So I am starting my research now and beginning with the trench coat.
I have tried searching online to see if this is a modified off the shelf coat or custom built for the film.
As of yet I have not been able to find anything that looks similar enough to pass for accuracy, since I would be wanting out to be something to join the 501st legion with them I can't troop Vader.

So I am now asking for the help of the almighty RPF and the vast amount of experience that you awesome guys have identifying screen used parts!
Help me RPF, you're my only hope!

I'm pretty sure it would be 100% tailor made by the costume department, it's quite usual.

Obviously based on older military great coats (wide lapels), but, yeah, tailor made for this actor. The Sportsman's Guide sells lots of those old coats, you might be able to find something to work with.

Good luck!

Hey Studio 49,

How is your research coming? I am also looking for a pattern and info on making a Hux. A Hat pattern as well.

Hey mate, sorry I have no info on Hux.
I've just not had the time to do any research since I'm working on 2 Vader costume and heap of other stuff.
What I'm hoping for is that someone on the Imperial Officer Corps Forum will be able to get a detailed look at the set up after the films release then do a run. Don't know if it'll happen, but fingers crossed
