Deckard Trenchcoat
I already have one of this amazing coats for cosplay use so I thought I’d get one for every day wear as it is an amazing coat. The new colour fabric Indy used is a much better match than my previous order and the detail is brilliant. It fits perfectly and is really well made. All of the alterations I requested have been carried out , so thank you very much for this! A very happy customer and I look forward to my next order from you arriving!! Well worth the money and investment...

This is the second coat that I have purchased from Magnoli. I was too lazy to write a review for the first one (An officer K coat in black nubuck -very sturdy btw ). The Deckard trench coat is equally impressive in quality and more impressive in detail, given the intricacies of the stitching on the Kaplan original. It fits very well except for the button-up collar, which is a little smaller in size than I had requested. It is a minor gripe since I won't be wearing it in that manner as a rule. As for the colour, it is screen accurate when loafing around in my favourite dingy bar. In normal daylight it is lighter than I would like, so maybe I should only leave the house when it rains. I'm glad that I saved up for the Magnoli version of this coat, rather than a cheaper alternative and I will probably save up for a darker version of this coat . It is still the best coat I've owned and it receives plenty of compliments...

Firstly, I like to thank Magnoli for their hard work and professionalism with this beautiful coat. The original that came had incorrect armhole diameters, resulting in the coat being very tight under the arms and through the back, restricting forward arm movement. Magnoli's team had me return the coat for modifications, which was great, but due to some shipping complications, they ultimately offered to create a brand new coat, and even allowed me to email additional alteration notes.
Michael Kaplan made the original coat that Harrison Ford wore in Blade Runner with a 1982 press description "a russet-colored full-length cotton, with multi-pintuck collar, raglan sleeves, deep pockets, and French seams." Magnoli, I can say, got all these details right. The color is a deep, rich brown and the seams and stitching are beautiful. The interior is lined beautifully with a rust-brown satin. The material looks great and feels great. Overall, it looks like the original, although one of the modifications I requested was to increase the neck circumference, allowing for the collar to close around the jaw/mouth, as Ford is clearly seen having it when he enters the Bradbury building late in the film. I provided a still of this, and they increased it a little. I would have preferred it a bit more, but I'm not really complaining, given the aforementioned efforts on their part.
Regrettably, the armholes are still wrong and rather tight around the shoulders/underarms. Hopefully, my tailor here in Los Angeles can address this. Additionally, I asked for the belt to be 76 inches, and they made it exactly 67 inches. Perhaps a clerical error? The 76 is based on the fact that I have another Deckard trench coat from a US vendor, of lower quality, but it fits perfectly and the belt length was just right. I thing they may have reversed the number, but I'll have my tailor make one.
For those who think I'm picky, that's alright. I paid 515 USD, plus another $89.00- rush charge. Then I sent it back for the original return effort, costing another $115.00. Since I first ordered the coat this spring, I've begun to learn leather craft and sewing. I own many coats and trench coats and love and care very much about clothing of the highest quality, and don't mind paying a high price for such. Perhaps, one day I'll make my own Deckard trench coat.
To be clear, most will find this product from Magnoli to be excellent- and it is. They were always courteous and responded quickly to emails, etc., but these minor imperfections are a letdown, somewhat. For those of you who do pay attention to materials and the quality of clothing, then hopefully this will help. I do recommend this coat, but be very, very sure about your measurements, send emails with this information, twice, if necessary. For $719.00, I got a great coat that, unfortunately, still requires additional alterations and spending.
One last thought. I'm no expert on materials. Not yet, anyhow. While the cotton is very nice, there is certain stiffness to the coat that I find peculiar. I don't believe this is cotton gabardine, like Burberry is known for. I could be wrong and would happily admit it, if it were so, but the coat material is not quite what I expected. It is by no means bad. It has a nice look and texture to the touch, but for me, there is a certain weight, thickness and supple feel that it seems to lack, compared to other high end jackets and coats I own.
In conclusion, buy it. If you love this trench coat, if you love Harrison Ford's Blade Runner look, buy it. I will buy from Magnoli again, despite my listed grievances. I hope this review serves to be one of appreciation and informative...

Love the coat. Fits a little tight, but I'm losing weight, lol!! Every time I go to a convention as Deckard, people love it. Accurate and genuine. Love the material...

What can be said that hasn't been said before? Magnoli's quality is second to none. My Deckard jacket was a perfect fit and my house mate is thoroughly jealous. My only minor quibble is that the buttons are inaccurate to the movie (they are of a rust color, not the dark chocolate/caramel color seen in the film). However, these can easily be replaced. l am hoping to wear this to the premiere of Blade Runner 2049 in October to many 'ooh's and 'ah's...

Like everyone else here, I found Indy was very patient and helpful despite me providing confusing instructions and helped me to understand what size would actually be best for me. The coat itself is excellent, really well made and pleasingly screen accurate, there is a good weight to the material, the lining is a nice touch, and the colour is much closer to the film than other versions of the coat I have seen. I will definitely be wearing this on a daily basis and I would encourage all Blade Runner fans to consider getting hold of one of these coats...
