Interesting
Facts about the Blade Runner 2049 Coat
You love the Latest coat from the Blade Runner 2049 movie
but do you know some interesting facts about it. Hang on to know a few things
about this go-crazy-over coat you probably didn’t know before.
What style is the
Blade Runner 2049 Coat?
The style of the coat worn by Ryan Gosling in the movie is a
trench shearling coat. A shearling coat is made from sheepskin. Sheepskin
obtained from a young sheep is called shearling and the wool is shorn with a
uniform length which is left on the hide after which it is tanned with the wool
on it. A shearling coat is made to give extra warmth. In general, the collar
and the placket of the coat are lined with fur in a shearling coat. It
resembles a trench coat in cut, length and style.
Is it really a Shearling Coat?
The coat worn by Ryan Gosling in the movie is also a “replicant” just
like him. It is not an actual shearling coat made from sheepskin. Rather the design is adapted from the
trench-styled shearling coat. The one in the 2049 movie is made from cotton
canvas and is lined with faux fur on the collar and placket area. So, it looks
like a shearling coat but it’s not actually because it’s not made from
sheepskin.
Why was Ryan gosling
given a coat as a costume instead of a superhero suit?
Well… The answer could be simple that it’s neither a
superhero movie nor Officer K is a superhero. He is rather a replicant who
works for the Los Angeles Police department to hunt and retire rogue
replicants. He operates in dark, wet, polluted world created by Denis (Villeneuve).
His life like all other replicants is miserable in that kind of environment.
So, a superhero costume would not resonate with his character in the
movie. Therefore, Renee decided to do a
long coat for him that would also help him cover his face. It symbolizes
protection and covering against the pollutants in that world.
What kind of fabric
is used for it?
As already mentioned above, this coat is made from cotton
canvas rather than sheepskin. However, it was painted and laminated in a way as
to give it a look of leather.
Why didn’t they use
leather for making the costume?
Renee says that leather would have become wet and very heavy
in that environment and his character is poor and miserable. So, they wanted to
give him something light which could just help him cover up from pollution.
Is it suitable for
Vegans?
The coat worn by Ryan Gosling in the 2049 version of the
movie is perfect for vegans. The fabric used is cotton canvas and the fur used
for lining is not animal fur. It’s rather artificial fur made from faux.
Therefore, it would go perfectly with the ideology of veganism and PETA has appreciated it for that.
What’s special about
the collar?
Costume designer Renree knew that the world had enough of
hoodies. That’s why she came up with the idea of a high collar which would hide
Officer K’s face partially and only his eyes would be seen. The unique thing
about this collar was that it closed magnetically. This was particularly
helpful as the producers/directors wanted the audience to just see his eyes in
the beginning of the film. Not only, it would cover his face but would also
protect him from the polluted environment in which they were living.
How much was the
collar fur for?
You probably already know that the fur used is not
animal-obtained but artificially produced from Faux. But you would be surprised
to know that the faux fur used in the coat for Ryan Gosling in the latest
version of the movie dirt-cheap. Yeah!
Its cost was just $2 per yard.
How many coats were
made for the movie?
At least 15 pieces of the coat were made for Ryan Gosling as
he wears one costume for the whole movie. So, having multiple pieces of the coat
would help throughout the entire shooting of the movie as many times scenes
have to be moved around which alters the chronology. And having the same
costume wouldn’t affect the altered chronology but of course multiple pieces
would be needed for Gosling to change for different shoots.
5 important tips to choose the
best replica coat from the Blade runner 2049 movie
Well, the online market is flooded with lots of Officer K
replica jackets/coats. It seems everyone can help your fandom for Ryan Gosling
but not actually. Not all sellers who claim to sell the best replica in the
market do so. Therefore, you should know a few things before buying this coat
or jacket as you like to call it although technically it is a trench coat.
1. The very first thing to check is the material of the coat you are buying. An important point to note here is that it should not be leather at all. The reason is simple. The coat worn by Ryan Gosling in the movie is not made from leather rather it is made from a plant-derived fabric. It is a cotton coat waxed and laminated to give it a little leather -like look but it’s not leather. This is what costume designer Renree has told to the giant media houses. The coat was even deemed award-worthy by the men’s health magazine.
Now most of the sellers online sell the coat in leather which under qualifies it from being the best replica at the first instance.
So, the best replica will always be vegan and will be made from cotton which is plant-derived fabric just like we have made it.
1. 2. The second thing to note is magnetic closures for fastening. The one made for Ryan Gosling in the movie doesn’t have a zipper for fastening rather it has magnetic closures. Sadly, not many sellers are able to replicate this cool functionality. Before buying, make sure that the coat you have selected has a magnetic fastening system instead of a zipper.
2. 3. Another important thing to take care of while buying is that you make sure that the fur on the collar is faux fur. Remember, the costume designer of the movie made it completely vegan. She actually used faux fur as cheap as $2 per yard. That’s pretty astonishing but that is what Renree has told to the online media publications. Also the collar strap should come with a buckle.
4. You will also have to take care of the color of the coat if you want to get the exact replica. Many sellers have coats in black but that is not the shade worn by Ryan Gosling. The shade worn by him is grey-greenish.

5. Lastly, you may also want to check the screen printed design on the back of the coat. Many of our customers want it without the print on the back. However, when they rewatch the movie, they realize that it is actually a screen-printed design. So, the best replica will come with the same print on the back. However, if you do not wish to have it, we can customize it for you.
