Rick Deckard Blade Runner 1982 - Soup to Nuts!

P.S. Incidentally, every retailer offering K's BR 2049 coat also falter in preciely that: the collar specs. More on that in that here if you're interested.

Thank you!

The collar was a really big sticking point on this jacket. It is a really different shape, and the order of operations is really important for getting the right look. There are a few details on it (shape aside) that aren't on many jackets.

The material is also really key, everyones jackets are FAR too heavy.

Lovely work on the 2049 breakdown! Hoping to do K soon - in far as man hours to construct it, it will be a bear. Maybe even more than the Deckard coat.

That would be outstanding if you could give the K coat a stab. It's kind of amazing how every coat provider gets something wrong. Frustrated with the inaccurate collar, believe it or not, I actually got the SA (or close to it) collar measurements from an excellent 1:6 (12 inch) figure of Officer K. I measured the collar, then scaled up x 6 and...voilà! I then had a separate collar made with those specs and had a tailor replace the original collar on my coat. Moreover, the shearling was also woefully inaccurate. I managed to source a 'sherpa' type shearling and replace that too. Anyway, more info here if you want to have a gander.

Not much progress, but I finally got all the buttons/button holes sewn on.

Looking sharp...btw, I hate sewing button holes

Superb.

Thanks guys! Gave it a light wash and dry to help wear it in, and it is getting some nice character to it!

That is a thing of beauty. I have coat-envy

Great stuff and all you have to do now is to wear that coat for...let's say 10 years (no washing) and it'll look exactly like the screen-used one

It is currently balled up in my bin of nearly folded Blade Runner soft parts to make sure it is nice and rumpled. Hoping to take it out in the rain at some point and let it hang dry.

Great pic!! Now, if you could find "BR" style glasses

Not a huge update, but got a button kit for the second version of Deckards blazer I will be tackling this weekend. This one will be lined, and have the correct orientation of the shooting shoulders, and continuous back yoke.

You're funny

Another small update from a random eBay search. But I was able to pick up a safariland 1000 for $55. While it isn't correct to the one cut down for Deckard, it is still really darn close. So as a completist (as far as my budget allows!) I had to pick it up.

Good find and good price!

I really lucked out - two searches and it popped up. Curious about the process of cutting it down (if I decide to!) if anyone has experience with it, let me know!

I know that Pro Mod (Propsummit.com) made those from scratch...I don't recall if he's on the RPF

My design for the holster was Not too far off dimensionally! At least for the 1000

Very close indeed!!
