"Here's where it get confusing, when you say "is the outer tunic of basket weave cotton and it is sleeveless." The next layer which was visible in person and in some shots is a pleated wool midcoat. Then there are sleeves (pleated) and cotton."
Actually, I said.. "there is the outer tunic of basket weave cotton and it is sleeveless" The information about it being that type of fabric is taken from the plaque inside the case at CVII.
I did find an image of the boots after I posted this so that question is mute at this point but thanks for posting the video
The plaque states that the innermost layer is cotton and the middle layer is wool. I observed one of the photos taken from the left side with a lower view looking up and see that the middle layer is pleated but that the sleeves come from the innermost layer. Look closely under the armpit at the front. The sleeve comes from the innermost layer and the middle layer is pleated... unless someone got tricky and inset the sleeve in some weird fashion.
Is that how others see it?

I used this as my reference but the under tunic is not visible except for the sleeves.

the photo from the Vanity Fair shoot shows him in the snow with both tunic layers blowing and the boots are exposed. I do not want to derail the Fabric thread but will attach this once I figure out how. 
. Tall black but with three bands. Looks knee high.

Looks good
Put your hand up next to it. I want to see scale. There should be 5 ish squares per square inch

Yep thats the outter tunic with lining, and the midcoat
I believe this is how it is built.

Here is my full tutorial with generic patterns top to bottom

Control+F and type cape, i have a super simple pattern.
Its basically a hole in an off square with a bit of hanging material its pulled around the body and up onto the shoulders. I just sewed mine slightly to keep its shape. Mine is VERY back heavy and chokes me XD

hey guys i think i tracked down the correct sleev fabric today
Cotton Duck Canvas
the weave is consistent with the Exhibit and i know duck canvas to wear sin a similar fashion and go a shade lighter under wear (as seen on the edges of the pleats where the shading is slightly lighter
i have four weights on order as a sample 10, 12, 16 and 21 oz
I'll let you know how they feel when they arrive:
Image is to show the weave only (correct is obviously black)

Yep that's beautiful unfortunately it's way to thick.

The lightest variant should not be. It's probably why the sleeves have zippers and why they do not meet panels with pleats at the shoulders; movement would be too constricted. It's stiff, yes but not incredibly so. I identified the fabric a while back (mentioned either here or at the Sith forum that it was the same stuff I used in my Star Lord pants) but I haven't gotten around to getting any yet. Can't recall the weight of the fabric I used at the moment.
Duck cloth by classification means "linen canvas" it by nature is thick.
I myself managed to find the same pin point design in a thin material (I found it more than once now) and I used 5 yards length for the 37 pleats in mine. The sleeves are incredibly thick due to the pleats so finding thin material is a must point. I've made the sleeves three times now and thick is bad. It bulks them and they look ugly and clunky.

UPDATE
the swatch of fabric came in, but the company does not make it in black anymore and any attempts to dye it did not take.
the search continues
