Coat worn by Kurt Russel in Los Angeles 2013


Hello,

I'm curious about the brand of the leather coat worn by Kurt Russell in this movie. Is it a regular coat we can buy from an online shop or was it made for the movie ?

A black leather duster is your best bet. Depending on where you live, you can try Amazon, or ebay, or if you live in a large city you may have a Gothic/Alternative/Metal clothing shop. You may even get lucky by trying a fancy dress shop and looking for a cowboy duster coat (although it won't likely be proper leather, you may get a vinyl version). (Some of the Matrix fancy dress coats also have a shiny black look, but again, a different cut, for the collar, etc, and wouldn't be as durable as a proper leather overcoat/duster.)

Snake's EFLA coat has a fairly wide wide/high collar which I've not seen on any dusters/overcoats myself, so if you wanted an exact copy you may be out of luck, I'm guessing it was custom made by the wardrobe department, but if you wanted a near exact copy, you could lastly try the rpf (replica prop forum) online, and could find someone to make you a good replica.

I imagine they had it made. It was set in the future after all and was supposedly government issue as it was fire resistant. That's why it appears so light weight and thin.
