Hey all,

Our first Kings Man coat sample has been ready today, I'll add buttons soon.

 

[Oxford]

Just a couple of things. Its far too long. It should only be a few inches longer than the sleeve. When wearing the coat you can actually feel the hem with your fingers and curl them under the hem when standing with a straight arm. The map pocket looks too big too. But if you fix the length, then the proportions around the button spacing and map pocket size will become that much easier to place and make more accurate. Apart from that you have done a great job catching the detail.

Oh, the collar too. Needs ribbing to be added so it retains its shape better.

 

[Oxford]

I’ll deffo take one off you when you‘re done.

 

[Jameel Ur]

Thank you Oxford to correct me, and sharing the good reference.
You are right I missed the length, map pocket looks slightly big to me too.
I think collar needs curve shape( curve shape panels) instead ribbing.

 

[Oxford]

The only reason I call it ribbing is because it had wire inserts stitched in and leather reinforcements to help keep the shape constant with hugging the neck and skull. Which isn’t really practical on a coat that will see real wear.

 

[Jameel Ur]

Using the wire in leather garments especially in collar is common in fashion industry even denim jackets.
It keeps your leather collar lineup or any shape.
Although I haven't used any wire in jackets so far but I know it's practical.
I'll look into that, how can I create a collar with same shape.

 

[Oxford]

What I mean is, it’s not practical with this collar as it’s too tall. For real wear you wouldn’t want the collar wired up in that position all the time. You wouldnt be able fold it back. Works and looks great in the film, but in the real world, it will look ridiculous stuck up like that. That’s why when it was redisigned as a ready to wear garment for Mr Porter, they reduced it completely. It’s great for cosplay.

 

[Jameel Ur]

Oh yes, I understand.
I was working on movie version coat as this coat complete with all detail I'll replace the collar and would add regular collar for daily use.

 

[Jameel Ur]

We are working on new collar, length, chest map pocket and collar lining.

 

[Jameel Ur]

Hello everyone,
We just fixed some errors.
Take a look at them and let me know if you have any question.

 

[Oxford]

Nice.

Be interested to see the screen accurate collar too

 

[Jameel Ur]

Hey guys,
What kind of lining should we use in whole coat?
Heavy Cotton (as like inside collar) or light weight cotton or polyester/ satin?

 

[Jameel Ur]

Nice.

Be interested to see the screen accurate collar too

I'm working on it separately.

 

[Oxford]

The screen used coat had heavyweight cotton the same as the inside collar. That’s what I’d go for.

 

[Jameel Ur]

I really appreciate your help Oxford.
Thanks.

 

[Oxford]

It’s my pleasure.

 

[Malibu139]

That looks fantastic!
Could you get a pic of the new smaller collar popped up while the coat is open in the front?

 

[Jameel Ur]

Sure, I'll take new picture.

 

[Oxford]

The map pocket might just need some fine tuning on the position and shape/size. It’s more of a rectangle shape than square.
