LC Flight to Venice Trench Coat

Post by HenriDefense »

Does anyone have any knowledge on the trench coat Indy wears as he gets on the flight to Venice? As I'm sure most of you know, he only wears it in this scene and we never see it in full. I can't find any info on it and was just wondering if anybody could dig something up. I'd love to get my own version of it, but it impossible to get any idea on the length for how the front even looks. If anyone could provide some educated guesses additionally that would be much appreciated.

Thanks, ;)

From those two shots you see some unique details that should help narrow down the search:

Raglan sleeves and NO epaulets.
Double-breasted front closure
Buckled straps on the wrists
Right front shoulder storm flap (sometimes called a "gun flap")
Rear shoulder yoke looks like it may be loose, but hard to tell

The main thing is to find a trench coat with raglan sleeves and no epaulets... but in a style that usually has them (the traditional "Bogart" style trench).

Magnoli, I am impressed! You have an eye like Sherlock Holmes. :clap: I looked at the picture and could see nothing I could use to identify the coat.

Cheers,

I ended up getting a London Fog trench, but it has epaulets. But I swear, when you put on that type of coat, you are instantly transported to the 1930s/40s!

Same. I looked at the pictures and saw “nothing.” It wasn’t until Mags pointed out all the details I actually saw them.
