Ryan Gosling 'K' - Blade Runner 2049!

Hi, a question to the lucky owners of those rag&bone chinos. I found this:

And also this:
And even this:

All of them say Army for color but on the photos they look like three different colors :D
Are they all the same color or not? If not, which one is the right color from the movie?

The first link is for the fit 2 chinos which is the right ones. The 2nd li k is for fit 1(the extra skinny fit...and boy are the fit 1s slim). The 3rd link is for the standard issue slim fit pants. Good pants, but they have a different pocket layout from the Chinos. All of them are the right color, just have different lighting for the photos.

A little off topic... just wanted to warn anyone who might wanna follow the link, I deleted the first link (sallywalls) cuz the shop turned out to be a fishing fraud website... Stole all the money from my card, luckily, there wasn't much. Never leave your card details on a website unless you know it can be trusted.
I should've known that out of stock pants can't be bought so easily in a retail shop.

thanx.
bep,custom size,laminated cloth,and few other modifications I did by myself (i'm an amateur / hobbyist tailor). I guess the coat has been made by Jameel Ur.
well, you did an Amazing Job!

I had a BEP myself (but had to do a couple of coats of "Odi - something" to give it a waxed cotton Look) ... also made a few modifications myself (including moving the collar buckle slightly to adjust the Shape of the collar when it was folded down)

anyway, first got it a few years ago but then lost it in a fire about a month ago that took my house and everything in it

Down the road as I continue the long process of slowly rebuilding some of my collection, I'll definitely want my K Coat back ...
And yours looks SO Good I figured I'd better ask and start keeping a list of where to get the best stuff!

Thanks for your response!

Oh I'm sorry for your lost,such a disaster,to have your personal goods to be lost in a fire.

About other considerations on the coat...
I already did my own version of the coat (totally selfmade),u can see below,I was able thanks to some knowhow my italian grandma gave me (I'm from IT),but I'm not a professional tailor,neither have such tools (just my hands and a little basic sewing machine) nor the right raw material to use. My version was lighter and with many imperfections (compared to bep version after I customized it),but I liked it,however I ended recovering from long-covid and started weight lifting and some sports I was addicted,got way bigger,and my version don't fit me any more now (so I unlined it and made kinda spring coat,keeping the lining I did before for the future in case I'll get slimmer again). I guess you mean "odicoat",I think it makes the fabric stiff. For my version (not the one I modified from bep coat),I used cleopatre textiplast,same problem,but without putting too much product and waiting couple months to let the smell goes completely away,it's ok (but still stiff).

I've poor tools to make better pics,maybe later I'll put better ones when I could,however I can say imho:
- thanks to Mechanismo for the meticolous indications to suggest the best way to find a coat closest to movie one
- I considered every vendor available,SR has to best cloth? maybe,but...the person at SR mail address who answers at my questions,wrote me that the cloth is (textual) "slighly waxed cotton,not waterproof",at same time I found a SR coat for sale on ebay (many months ago),and in the pics was clearly shown the composition as "83% cotton 17% acrilic" - way better lamination,if the aim is SA and waterproof protection,but it let me full of doubts (and they added to the ones I already had about SR coat's shape and shearling),and also,as I discussed and agreed with bep owner (zlurpo?),many production coats have been made,similar to each other but not exactly identical,and taking a clinical look at various stills of the movie,it is evident.
The fabric of Gosling's coat is cotton duck,I think laminated (as Renée April should've confirmed on Vogue) in a lite way with something that I won't say wax (maybe nylon,acrilic,or PU),I would say that coating stays in between BEP laminated cloth that I bought and SR cloth,even if thinner of both. I read many supporters of SR cloth,it is nice,maybe a little closer to the movie (mine is a bit darker,bep say black but I put black aside after being really satisfied by the unexpected accurate similarity to the movie,maybe still a little bit too shiny but not as it seems on pics I saw here before purchasing).
However,both SR and BEP laminated versions are twill cotton based. That means that is not duck,so I think I can say that,at the moment,there's no way to find the exact same fabric they used for the coat in br2049,except contact them and ask them to reveal their supplier or send some. Twill,I think it has some other nice features: I find it smoother,and if coated and well treated,it will last even if not tough as duck. This coat is definitely good for winter (maybe some cold will be felt with real icy low temp,but yet to be seen for me). BEP has duck fabric to choose,but waxed or not coated at all,I wanted it laminated so I chose the "black" (that imo is not,but nicely SA) laminated cloth (even if it's cotton twill and not duck).
I don't think to look for the needle in the haystack is the way,if you aim for practical daily use,you can do something not exactly the same and possibly even more useful than what could be if perfectly SA.

details about customizations I did on my BEP laminated coat:
- I've no letters on the back,I wanted my coat to be SA without losing pragmatism,I think the letters are good for cosplay meeting (I'm not a cosplayer,even if I wear bates strike -I already had them- and made by myself trousers pretty similar to the movie with elastan cotton in (not too much tactical) military style,and a sweater I painted with washing machine dyes,that is pretty similar to the movie now). The custom size,if I would give suggestions for someone who is about to buy,is a must.
- I put a small neodimium magnet inside the left chest under the point where the left lapel folds (external angle),to be sure it keeps in position when opened without flickering neither if I run
- I put a small neodimium magnet inside the external angle of the right lapel (where there aren't magnets already put by BEP),and another magnet (not neodimium,the right lapel is obviously way lighter compared to the left,so I used ferrite to be not too strongly held) inside the right chest (same reason as previous point)
- I slightly whipped the fur (I've experience in doing it,and here is a particular job and requires attention to not trim too much),then I heavily weathered it using the method explained by BEP in their yt tutorial mixed with something else from my knowledge: they suggest ranger alcohol ink to be diluted with isopropanol and sprayed on the fur (absolutely avoiding to breath it,I add),I also do some works with particular brushes,and also in my own way pushed strongly (but without damaging the coat) with a rag soaked with isopropanol after having the fur furtherly darkened with alcohol-based permanent markers. I used mushroom and gunmetal color mix for ranger inks,black and brown markers (before finishing the job with my personal method to correctly fade the color mix I put).
- I changed the hook-and-eye closure with an identical black one (not needed,bep hook-and-eye is ok,but it looks silver and I wanted it dark)
- I shortened couple cm the buckle's lace,it was a bit too long
- I added a zip closure to the internal pocket
The coat is terrific,I just did some perfectionism and strictly personal customization job.

I wish you the best and to being able to rebuild what was most dear to you.

Thank you for the Kind words, CountLau :)

...and the GREAT info! (y)(y)
here some other pics (quality is poor,I'm alone now and doing my best with what I have),some other details can be catched...
I'm just minding to rebuild the four stitches that keep together the left lapel with the collar,shifting them a little bit less external,and doing them with an elastic sewing thread that I have and should fit perfectly,or with a method I used for my selfmade coat that makes the collar shift over the lapel especially when closed,to make a perfect look and closure function as the close-up where is shown,for my coat it worked not exactly same way but was nice. I think I'll do it later...
IMO collar and shoulder panel shapes are quite perfect,they did a great job.
As you can see and Jameel already explained,the color is kinda iridescent (it changes a little depending on the light,for me it's terrific,really close to the movie one despite SR cloth suitability,I did some comparison putting aside 4k stills from the movie,and no words,imo it's impressive).
In last pic I showed (upper one in the pic) that sometimes it seems like the coat have no coating at all,I don't know if it is or the dust in particular raw environment scenes,but regardless of differences between the production coats,I like the laminated cotton.

Yep, this is my work.
I gald your like our work and thnaks for your positive feedback.
I saw you put a limit for the remaining coats.
Great job...after other few details I customized,I think we could call this "K coat evo"...even cause I don't know if original coat was waterproof or not,but I tried with lite shower,I still don't know with persistent and heavy rain,definitely this coat is rainproof. And I guess even more confortable than the movie one,it's extraordinary smooth.
So,Jameel Ur the showstopper! thanks a lot.
I asked for a small scrap to insert in the package I would have done some washing tests on,it wasn't inside,I don't if the customs opened or someone of you missed it,but it doesn't matter (the scraps I obtained shortening the lace,are not enough for such a test to be done correctly).
I already noticed on etsy that I cannot give a review,because etsy platform doesn't update and show "still to be sent" (??).

However,if you know it,it would be nice to understand what kind of cloth it is,so that I can approach the optimal way to eventually wash it (handly,I suppose). At first impression,I would say the cotton twill is laminated with a thin layer of nylon 6 infused on it (usually classic PU would be more faux leather-like and maybe more creasable and less confortable,but if it is,it should need more attention to wash it as compared to nylon,I think),or maybe kinda acrilic (that usually also resists at washing machine cycles for delicate clothes). Could you please tell us something more about?

This is cotton slub laminated fabric, it's waterproof and strong material.
You can machine wash, bucket, but avoid tumbling, heat dreyer, I'm not fabric experts so I can't much about this fabric.
In case I found same laminated fabric in canvas/ duck cloth I'll buy in bulk.
I'm sorry about piece of fabric, we totally forgot it.

Thanks.

well,washing machine or not was a case I would value maybe only if a bird ***** on me (or something else equally ******) and I couldn't clean properly just by hand (...knocking on wood...). In that case (extrema ratio),I'd say better avoid centrifuge as well as tumble dry (just simple cycle at 30°(86° fh) celsius max temp,which is the one for delicates),water drain,and hanging gently half-folded on a bar (without pulling too much weight on the shoulders during natural drying time,same method I use for wetsuits).
So,thanks again to you.

I'm feeling tempted to try making my own take on this coat again if I can find close enough fabric... how would you described the color you use? Is it closer to green or dark grey in person?
I don't know if it'd be useful for you,I've also a little dyschromia,but I can see quite well and below:
- upper: my coat from Jameel (the left side is the laminated cotton,the right side is the black interior with the lining underneath
- lower part of the pic: the coat I made by self. For that coat (that actually looks kinda dark green),I dyed a light gray cotton twill (before coating) mixing dark gray + biscay bay green (kinda blueyish green) + a little bit of black
IMO,the color of my bep coat is a greyish very dark green,maybe it hasn't shades of bluyish that can be seen on the movie (but I didn't still tried with all light and environments I would in winter,and some pics by Jameel,if I'm not wrong with my eyes,says it also has),but imo is the best in terms of closeness to the movie between the colors I found available.
The colors of my two coats,as you can see,seems to be very similar.
