This amazing coat

It's clear that this is a leather coat with what looks like a sheepskin shawl collar. But there's no side or front view and even the arm is foreshortened, providing no clues as to the sleeve.

It's a big ask based on these two images. [huh]

Actually, it's just 2 versions of the same shot. One has the fellow on the left and in the center cropped out. But I agree with other posters - a frontal shot would make it easier to determine. Does it button? Does it zip? Patch pockets? Covered pockets? Diagonal or horizontal? And those are only a few of the questions better photos would answer.

FIrst, rent the video...

Okay, if I had to locate that coat, here's what I would do.

First, get the video and make some clear screen shots of the coat and post them in this space.

Second, study the credits at the end of the video and write down all the names of the people credited with Costume and Wardrobe. Also note the names of the producers and producing company.

The film seems to have been a United Kingdom production, so then go down to the bottom of your Google or Yahoo search page and click on Google.UK or Yahoo.UK to search that country for those people.

If we are to assume that Guy Ritchie used a professional Costume Designer and/or Wardrobe Person, that person is probably still out there and can be located.

Make some phone calls, send some e-mails.

I found a few more pics, one is just a larger version of the other two but you can see the cuffs here.

On eBay some people seem to refer to similar jackets, correctly or incorrectly as the case may be, as flying jackets, or bomber jackets?
The difference between many is whether or not the cuffs have fur or not, in the one above, plainly they don't.

These are just a few items I found on a quick browse, they vary on how close they are but maybe there's a bit of inspiration in there.
