The Matrix Reloaded - Neo's coat

[masterjedi322]

After fifteen years, I went back and rewatched the entire Matrix trilogy, and it got me hankering to do a Reloaded Neo costume.

I have an Abbyshot wool coat they did way back when, but I'm hoping to get a lighter, more convention-friendly version (i.e. lighter and cooler to wear indoors), and it appears Abbyshot no longer offers Matrix stuff...

I seem to recall there was an extremely limited run of these coats by the original costume maker or someone who had access to a production piece? Does anyone recall (or better yet, have one their willing to part with)?

Does anyone have any recommendations on who offers an accurate Neo Reloaded coat?

Well if I remember correctly, it was based off of a priest's cassock. So you may be able to look for a pattern and augment that.

Amazon has a coat from UGfasshion... not sure how good it is.

The biggest thing will be mimicking the weight and flow with a lighter fabric... you might could add weights to the bottom hem at the feet.

With the new Matrix trailer having just dropped, I'm reenergized to move out on this project.

Any help with finding a Neo coat?

I still have my Baron Boutique Reloaded coat in monks wool. It's heavy but the flow of it and the fit is the absolute best I've seen out there IMO.

I'm trying to find some of my old pics that showed it off well. I'll try to get some new ones soon.

Hi there I’m about to place my order of the neo reloaded coat at baron boutique, can I ask if it’s worth getting it made in 11oz wool or would that be too heavy? How is the coat normally made, could it be worn in winter?

Thanks

If you can find any pictures that would be great, I’m kind of desperate as I want to make sure I get the material right
