I'm just realizing that it might not be. The collar has 2 stitches running through the edge.

Darn that’s true, and very obvious, should have caught it. I haven’t come across a single thing close then, looking at every high and low end brand nothing is constructed that way.
A collar with two rows of stitching is standard for utility and dress shirts but anything with snaps like denim or chambray usually has the single row of stitching on the collar. Back to the drawing board, any chance you could ask the costume designer again? It’s a new person and not the same designer from season one right?

I’d hate to say it, but like his jacket, scarf and Ellie’s beanie, it’s possible it could be custom.
I really hope that’s not the case but it very well. And now it’s a different costume designer.

New image with a better look at the parka, considering the cuffs are the same and it has side snaps I think they definitely based the design off of the ll bean parka but shorter and with a cinched hem.
Definitely going to commission this in the future I think.
When it comes to the shirt I did reach out to Ann Foley on Instagram but didn’t get a reply, I could see the blue shirt being custom made maybe but that seems impractical, especially when they kept the flint and tinder for instance.
So I have a good ol'Abercrombie cotton Parka from back in the day.

I'm thinking, if I can take a good amount of reference photos for the build of the internals (to make this thing a jacket worth while), we can look at the externals and get a good copy made of the Joel jacket. It’s going to be a team effort.
I'll say this, it's going to be pricey. A good parka jacket is gonna run $200+.
I think the most important thing is the stitch lines etc. That's the gonna be the most important thing - that and fabric quality.
We're gonna have to wait until the season drops, and then we can start building a pattern etc.
ALSO, are we thinking that these are detachable fur hoods?

Shameless plug, but for some reason Google is suppressing my listing (along with Etsy). Maybe they don’t want such a close replica getting much attention before season 2, but yall, if you guys are looking for the Joel watch, check out my Etsy store. I want people to be able to get the watch.
Store link.
Either that, or DM me.

Nice to see we aren't going to go too crazy when the season drops over some items, good work everyone already! just for a bit of an info drop i saw a tweet earlier that there are going to be colabs so maybe some of the items we need might be in some of those.

I wonder about the Wrangler and Timberland collab. That'll be interesting.
If that's the case, there has to be a lot of Wrangler and Timberland clothing used in the season - got to fund the production somehow with these sponsorships.

My thoughts exactly my only hope is they aren't all just "Inspired" and are screen accurate and not budgeted knock offs
Unfortunately, it’ll likely be things just branded with the show name.
I feel it’s not common anymore for companies just to drop things that were shown in the show.

As much as I love costuming the bit about Taylor guitars has me the most excited. When the second game was announced years ago it was with Ellie playing a guitar, as we came to find out and as the show trailers have shown that guitar was pretty significant to the characters.
Turns out Taylor had helped design a guitar for the game and over five years ago released real versions of it alongside the game. They’re very rare now and go for $7000 to $10,000 when they were originally $2300. I was always bummed I didn’t get one back then, if they’re rereleasing a version of it I am absolutely going to get one now. Thanks for the heads up!
How’s everyone’s searches going?

Just got a reply from one of the members of the costume department who says the blue shirt is from Ariat “with a few revisions to it”.
Edit: Had some speculation here but it has turned out to be unnecessary, my next post identifies the shirt to the best of my ability

Good find. Sucks, but what can we do lol.
Also, what about the green herringbone short? Are you able to confirm if it’s a Mr. Porter herringbone green shirt? They no longer have it. But it would be nice to formally confirm it.

So, good news bad news! I was hoping for more confirmation from the crew member but they never responded sadly, no hard feelings from me though the tip about the brand was more than I was expecting so I’m still very thankful. Does mean I can’t help with the herringbone shirt or say this with 100% certainty but I am reasonably sure that this is the shirt
The site pictures make it look gray but this site’s pictures and this listing show it definitely has a blueish color. They also show off that distinctive texture and the button on the collar and the stitching so it matches!
The bad news is it’s sold out almost everywhere with scattered sizes left, hopefully anyone looking for it can find it in their size! Happy to identify an item and share the info

Managed to snag the last shirt in my size in the UK that was online I think Tango is right about this being the shirt but the colour is definitely more muted IRL so im under the assumption that one of the edits performed is it was dyed a lighter blue either that or they did a bit of colour grading in post. Im assuming the former, if anyone needs any more photos let me know! Side note one noticeable feature to help in IDing the shirt is the unique button at the bottom of the shirt unfortunately in the trailer the shot doesn't pan low enough to show it.
Lastly Ariat is a very well known Horse brand and both fortunately and unfortunately my partner and her family (one is currently living in Texas) are very into horses ive asked them to keep an eye out for the shirt both in the US and in the UK. If we find any ill let you guys know!

I would lean towards color grading in post over dye just from the pink light at the top of Joel’s head and the weird almost gray color the flint and tinder jacket is in the scene. They probably went for cool lighting since it’s an emotional scene even just based on the trailer only.
Either way I’m very happy you managed to find one! Still waiting on mine to arrive

Is anyone able to white balance this shot. Actually one sec.
So, the trailer for the show is being really stingy from the HBO site (that's the highest quality you're going to get), and because it's one of those files that streams in batches (essentially you can't rip it), you have to screen record. I was able to do it. If anyone wants the file, let me know.
Looks like it is still blue:
