When the Matrix came out, I looked around for a company that made reproductions of Neo's coat. That's how I found a company called TrenchCo. When Equilibrium came out, I searched again for the Cleric's coat, only to find TrenchCo to have ceased to excist. However, some of the co-founders of TrenchCo made a restart with a company called AbbyShot Clothiers Ltd. This company also makes a reproduction of the Cleric's coat. Their website can be found here: www.abbyshot.com/index.php?inc=products(Lobby Reloaded coat) I'm not sure though if it is supposed to be an exact replica of the cleric's coat, because it's longer than the one from the film. This might be because of copyright issues though, or it is based on Neo's coat from the new matrix movie. (haven't seen any stills from that movie.) --Must say their quality seems a bit off though. I liked the TrenchCo products better. They seemed to be made of better materials, also with a more refined design.--

Well thanks for that link! I think that's the closest we've gotten so far on the search for EQ stuff! Thanks again

It's not thr real cleric's coat though. I just saw the teaser for The Matrix: Reloaded, and indeed it is based on neo's coat. I'm sure though they will come with a coat that closely resembles the Cleric coat. After all, they are developing a look-alike of Silent Bob's coat. (and who cares about that?) When the company was still called TrenchCo there was the option of mailing in suggestions of other coats to be made. Perhaps they will consider producing the coat if enough people ask them to.

They'd be way too expensive for me anyways. I can't afford 500 dollars for a coat. Any one here good at designing clothes? Should ask my grandmom to make me one ;D

That reminds me... I've spent a year in Japan, going to a Japanese high school. The uniforms we wore there look *exactly* like Preston's white uniform, only it's black. It has the upright colar and everything. You can buy 'm here: www.asahi-jc.com/gakusei.htm mine was slightly different from the one pictured here, asit had silver buttons with the school's insignia on it. I still have mass pictures of me wearing the uniform, unfortunately I don't own a scanner.. I'll find someone who does and post the pics later

I've sent them an e-mail suggesting they make one Maybe if we all do they'll actually do it ;D MrsPreston is completely right. We place a VERY heavy emphasis on customer suggestions. If enough people suggest this item both via email (info@abbyshot.com) and in our forum AbbyShot Forum then we will make it. Oh, and since I'm here, I'll also clear up a misconception mentioned in this thread earlier. Our Lobby Reloaded trenchcoat is not intended to be based on Equilibrium. If we do make a Cleric Coat, we'll be more obvious in our naming of it, and it will look a lot more like the Equilibrium coat than that one does. Any resemblance between the Cleric Coat and the Lobby Reloaded trench is purely coincidental! :-) Adam Bragg, VP AbbySot Custom CLothiers www.abbyshot.com

Yeah, the whole Equilibrium / Matrix mixup in this tread would be my bad, sorry. I hadn't seen the Matrix trailer before i visited your site, so I mentioned the coat as the closest resemblance I could find to the Cleric's coat.

I would LOVE to wear the Cleric's clothing, but I'm afraid I'd get a lot of strange looks.

I got the newsletter from Abbyshot Clothiers and it seems they are designing the EQ coat, YAH!!!! ;D Not sure if this link will work: www.abbyshot.com/newsletters/newsletter_june_03.html[If it doesn't this is what it says: New Designs It's design time at AbbyShot. we have tallied the hundreds of suggestions and we're busily sketching and drafting our next products. What are they? We're not talking. Nope. our lips are sealed...... Ok, there's a hint in the sidebar. SHHHHHHH! I didn't tell you that!! :-) And there is a pic from EQ]
