Here it is, the much demanded Avengers Loki coat, after collecting hundreds of high quality photos and studying the blu-ray I can safely say this is as accurate as it gets.

This pattern will print out on a standard A4 page, then you simply cut out the individual pieces and blow them up x4 on a photocopier. This is made for my measurements (Bust-87cm/ Waist-68cm/ Hips-82cm/ Height- 163cm, 5'3) basically an Australian size 8. But it is unisex.
To make it larger you can enlarge it by up to x6 but it will take some altering, like the seam allowances (keep them at 2cm) and the length (the coat should end around the ankles).

This is a fairly complicated costume (especially that deceptive side seam, I discovered it folds back on itself), so I will put up a tutorial as soon as I can. I'm uploading this now just incase anyone feels like they've figured it out and want to give it a go.

I highly recommend everyone make a toile before making a final version.

Other things to note- You will need about 3 or 4 metres of black leather/vinyl and the same for the green lining (I suggest matte velvet).
The trim has a very specific look, as if there were zippers along every edge, so far I have not found anything that resembles this other than metal zips. You can buy zippers by the metre at some fabric stores. At a guess it's going to be about 10-15 metres.

There's also the gold details on the tails and wrapped around the sleeves, on the former it seems light on the latter it's quite rigid. So I'm guessing it's just material mounted on to something for the sleeves.

Speaking of the sleeves, I haven't made a pattern for them because I tend to drape sleeves rather than draft them. Just measure the armhole, the length of your arm and the width at the top and bottom. Nothing to it.
It seems the strips on the sleeves are not completely stitched down, they're just attached at the seams in the movie. That will work but I'd personally recommend stitching them right the way along, it looks better.
The material under those strips is just black cotton, it's the only black area that isn't leather.

As always I am hapy to answer any questions and give advice.

I want new Dante's coat. I can't find it to buy it anywhere, so I'd have to make, which I could do. The only thing I'd have trouble with is figuring out the shapes to the pieces.

Hmm, from what I can see, it's a simple leather coat with red lining and cuffs and a hood that connects to a collar. I'd say you're better off to find a similar coat and alter it or you can easily buy a commercial pattern that's close enough.

That's another problem, I've not been able to find one. I guess I'll have to scour the web until I find enough good pictures to make a pattern.

You probably won't find a free pattern like that, you can buy commercial patterns online or from fabric stores. You can also buy pattern drafting books which show you how to make just about anything, they can be expensive, but worth it.
