Who? Why?
My name’s Aaron W Dembski-Bowden.
Don’t ask about the W – let’s just forget it exists and forgive my parents for a bizarre choice of middle name. Y’know, I used to tell people it stood for Wolfgang, but no one ever believed me. I’m not a skilled liar.
I write a lot, and people pay me to do it. I argue a lot, but I do that for free. If you want to start paying me to argue, please apply within. My rates would be generous, and my cynical wrath without peer.
I have a cat, but I prefer dogs. Most of my clothes are black, but my favourite colour is orange. I was born in a really dark, grim patch of London, but I moved to the greenest parts of Northern Ireland. This last factoid arises from being in love with a beautiful Irish girl who foolishly agreed to marry me – and that it’s easier to write out here in the middle of nowhere with only fields, cats, and hot redheads for company.

Looks like John Motson meets Talos
I have no idea but I was wondering the same thing…
Not that I’ve already looked into it but… http://www.celebsclothing.com/products/The-Dark-Knight-Rises-Distressed-Coat.html
Yes! Thanks, man.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR AARON.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.
Damn! I want one!
Awesome find, good job. 😀
I’ve got the girl’s version of that coat. My husband bought it for me, and I LOVE it!
I want his coat…
Curses, beaten to the Motty gag. Del Boy Trotter may also have a few spare, and he’ll do you a great price, “innit bruv”.
Sadly, I think the coat is custom made. According to wikipedia, its design is a mix of “a Swedish army jacket and a frock coat from the French Revolution.” That said, while it’s nice I can’t help but wonder how it would look when not contrasted against that ridiculous mask.
Not quite as decent ones are on ebay:

That is exactly what I was thinking during every scene that he was wearing it.
Well, that and “Why is Tom Hardy doing an impression of Kenneth Williams as Darth Vader?”
Down the Flee Market in Liverpool. You should know that 😛
Oh, the joyous torment of finding a badass jacket and then realizing that you’ll never wear it because it will never be cold enough to warrant it.
Or perhaps you’re wondering why you would wear a coat…in the middle of the “summer”…
while filming, TDKR actors had to do just that.
There’s always this: http://eu.deusex-store.com/product/EGX-D3_COAT-VT-001_Trenchcoat
Pfff…who needs that Jacket when you can get a Batman suit already (or Storm Troopers or TIE pilots or Captain….just look!!) –

We clearly think, a bit sadly, alike.
I’m pretty sure this is what you’re looking for…

I totally picture you at the BL Weekender wearing this coat lol :p
Wont look nearly as cool on you bro.
The only thing it will do is make for a cool story.
Haven’t you already got a shorter version of this?
It’s Vin Diesels’ old coat from XXX
Does this mean you’ll have to trade in the beanie hats for gimp masks, and ultimately that dark path probably leads to hellraiser Pinhead fashion? Anyway Amazon let me pre order Betrayer, dispatch time 2nd April 2013…
That coat actually took two years to make. The designer combined ideas from Swedish army jackets and a few other heavy duty coats to create what you see. Its entirely custom, made for the Dark Knight Rises. You could steal it from Bane…..good luck with that!
‘I didn’t see the coat until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but FLUFFY!’
Just seen it and all the way through I thought the same thing, no doubt if I did find a replica I wouldnt be able to afford it.
It’s Arthur Daley’s.
Its based on a Russian Army Coat called a polushubok…You can find one where they sell old Red Army gear or old Swedish Army types…They darkened the outside with Shoe Polish or dubbing…..
‘No-one cared who I was until I put on the coat’
‘Blaargle bloogle bloogey blargh blargh’*
