I guess my take on this (and apologies if I'm not using correct terminology for this) is this:
I think a lot of us for a long time simply assumed that either
there was some sort of a Split vent in the back of Deckard's Trench coat (like you see on lots of real world trench coats)
OR
there was NO split (vent) at all
...
but after seeing those most recently posted behind-the-scenes photos it seems that what's happening instead is that there isn't a "cut out" split vent; instead it's almost like there's a little "PLEAT" that starts a couple of inches below where the back of the belt sits
I get the impression that if you were to spread out the Bottom edge of the coat it would just be the material Without any sort of seam coming down from where the material is "gathered & stitched together" ...
I think that's why you don't see any Hard folds or seams below where the pleat is ...
does that make sense?
