Most Hei cosplay coats get the shape roughly right and miss everything else. The wrong fabric, the wrong lining color, buttons that fall off after two conventions. Baron builds Hei’s coat from 100% Super 140s worsted wool, to your exact measurements, with screen-accurate green acetate lining, cloth-covered buttons stitched by hand, and the correct stand-up collar with buckle detail. Every order includes a free test coat shipped to you first so the fit is confirmed before we cut the wool. 14 colors. From $679.
Follow these simple steps to ensure your custom garment fits you perfectly. All you need is a flexible measuring tape.
You do not have to get this perfect. Send us your best measurements and we craft a free test garment to your numbers first, so the fit is confirmed on your body before we cut your final cloth. Every piece is custom made to your measurements, and the test garment is yours to keep.

Before You Order
Your questions, answered
Ordering a garment made to your measurements should feel reassuring, not nerve-racking. Here are the doubts men most often have, and exactly why you can set them aside.
I have never bought a suit I could not try on in a shop first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. Once you send your measurements, we make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth cut to your numbers and post it to you. You put it on at home, check the shoulders, chest, waist, and length, move around in it, and send us your notes and a couple of photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished suit is not a leap of faith, it is a fit you have already seen and approved on your own body.
I am worried I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to get it perfect. The videos and steps above walk you through each measurement one at a time, a friend or a local tailor can help with the ones that are easier with a second pair of hands, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment exists precisely to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust before your final cloth is touched, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
I have always struggled to find clothes that fit me. Broad shoulders, an athletic build, a longer or shorter torso, or a fuller waist. Is this really for someone like me?
It is made for exactly you. The men who fight hardest with off-the-rack are the ones who benefit most here, because there is no standard size to squeeze into. We cut to your proportions, broad shoulders with a trimmer waist, a fuller stomach with a shorter jacket length, a long or short back, so the garment follows your body instead of forcing your body into a shape it is not. There is nothing wrong with your build; there are only your measurements.
My body is not symmetrical, one shoulder sits lower or my posture is not textbook. Can you cut for that?
Yes. A garment made to your measurements is built for real bodies, not idealized ones. Note anything particular in your order, or simply show us on the test garment, and we adjust the cut, a lower shoulder, a fuller seat, a forward stance, and confirm it before the final cloth is cut. This is exactly what the process does that a size on a rack never can.
It is a lot to spend on something custom made. What is my safety net?
Your safety net is that nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not paying for a gamble, you are paying for a garment whose fit you have already confirmed on your own body. And a well-made piece that actually fits gets worn for years, so the cost per wear is usually far lower than the compromise suits and jackets that sit unworn in the wardrobe.
I need this for a wedding or a specific event and I am anxious it will not be right on the day.
Tell us the date when you order and we plan the whole timeline back from it, including the free test-garment stage, so there is time to confirm the fit and make any adjustments with room to spare. For a dated event we recommend ordering two to three months ahead. Because you approve the fit on the test garment before the final piece is cut, you are not walking into your event hoping it fits, you already know it does.
What if it arrives and something is still not quite right?
The final garment is cut to the exact fit you signed off on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, your finished piece carries seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right. You are never left alone with something that does not work.
What if my weight changes before the event, or later on?
Take your measurements as close to the date as you can, and if your size shifts before we cut the final cloth we simply work to your new numbers. For afterwards, your finished garment is made with seam allowances so a local tailor can take it in or let it out within reason, and we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another piece that fits is simple whenever you want one.
Do I really need someone to help me, or can I do this alone?
You can absolutely do it alone. Most measurements are straightforward to take on yourself with the videos above, and only a few, like across the back and shoulders, are simply easier with a friend holding the tape. Either way, the free test garment is the real check: whatever you measure, you confirm the fit on your body before anything final is made.

Hei’s coat is one of the most recognized silhouettes in anime. The straight collar with buckle detail, the cloth-covered buttons, the flared hem, the mid-calf length – every element is deliberate, and every element is visible from across a convention floor. Most cosplay versions miss the details. Baron builds this coat from 100% Super 140s worsted wool in the correct weight and cut, to your exact measurements, with a screen-accurate green acetate lining. The result is a coat that photographs like the reference, fits like it was made for you, and holds up far beyond a single event.
100% Super 140s Worsted Wool Screen-Accurate Green Lining 14 Color Options Made to Your Measurements Free Test Coat First Hand-Finished Buttonholes
100% Super 140s Worsted Wool – Why It Matters for This Coat
Hei’s coat is dark, structured, and clean-lined. It needs to drape with weight and hold its silhouette whether you’re standing still for photos or moving through a crowded event floor. Super 140s worsted wool at 8 ounces does exactly that. It is light enough for indoor wear, heavy enough to fall correctly, and fine enough to take a sharp, clean press.
Most replica coats use polyester blends that look fine in photographs but feel like a costume. This coat uses the same fabric category as a quality men’s suit – it wears like clothing, not like cosplay. That distinction matters when you’re in it for eight hours at a convention.
Available in 14 colors. The default and most screen-accurate choice is black. All 14 options are available at the same price.

Who This Coat Is For
If you know who Hei is, you already know whether this coat is for you. But the quality of this build means it works for a broader audience than strict cosplayers.
The Serious Cosplayer
You’ve done the character before with a lesser coat and know what the difference looks like in photos. You want the version built from wool, fitted to your actual measurements, with the correct lining and the correct silhouette. This is that coat.
The Convention Regular
You attend multiple events a year. A coat that fits correctly, wears comfortably for eight hours, and doesn’t fall apart after two conventions is worth the investment. This one is made from suit fabric and built to last.
The Fan Who Wants It as Everyday Outerwear
A long black wool coat with a dramatic collar and flared hem works well beyond cosplay. In black, this coat reads as fashion outerwear to anyone who doesn’t know the reference – and as a perfect Hei coat to everyone who does.
The Gift Buyer
You want something that a Darker Than Black fan will actually keep and wear. Not a mass-produced replica that gets worn once. A made-to-measure coat in real wool that fits the person receiving it.

Free Test Coat – Why Every Baron Order Includes One
A cosplay coat that doesn’t fit correctly undermines the whole look. Hei’s silhouette is specific – the coat needs to sit at the right point on the shoulder, hang to the right length, and move correctly when you walk. Getting that right for a customer ordering from overseas requires a fitting step.
Every Baron order begins with a complete test coat in an inexpensive cotton fabric, built to your measurements and shipped to you by trackable courier. You try it on. You tell us what needs adjusting. We fix the pattern and then build your final coat in the wool. The test coat is yours to keep. This is how we guarantee fit for every customer, regardless of where in the world they order from.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this coat screen-accurate to Hei’s coat in Darker Than Black?
Yes. The key details that make Hei’s coat recognizable are all here: the stand-up straight collar with buckle detail, 5 cloth-covered buttons with loop fastening rather than standard buttonholes, the flared hem with center back vent, mid-calf length, and green acetate lining. The fabric is 100% worsted wool in the correct weight. We build this coat from reference, not from a generic trench coat pattern.
Can I wear this coat to a convention all day?
Yes – and this is where it separates from polyester cosplay coats. Super 140s worsted wool at 8 ounces is the same fabric category used in quality suit jackets. It drapes correctly whether you’re moving or standing still, and it doesn’t feel like wearing a plastic bag after three hours. It is made for extended wear. Dry-clean after the event and it will be ready for the next one.
What colors are available?
14 colors: Black (screen-accurate default), Navy, Charcoal Grey, Dark Grey, Medium Grey, Light Grey, Oxford Blue, Blue, Brown, White, Beige, Tan, and Melange. All are the same price. Black is the correct screen-accurate choice for Hei’s coat. The other colors work well if you want a Hei-inspired coat in a different colorway, or want to wear it as everyday outerwear.
What fit options are available?
Three options: slim fit (close to the body, contemporary), standard fit (classic tailored silhouette, slightly more room), relaxed fit (easier movement, more volume), and an athletic fit (broad shoulders, narrow waist). For cosplay accuracy, slim fit or standard fit tend to match Hei’s look most closely. Add your preference when you order and we confirm before production.
How does the free test coat work?
When you place your order, you enter your measurements on this product page. We build a complete test coat in an inexpensive cotton fabric to those measurements and ship it to you by trackable courier. You try it on, check the fit across the shoulders, chest, and length, and tell us anything that needs adjusting. We update your pattern and then cut your final coat in the Super 140s wool. The test coat is yours to keep at no extra charge. This is how we guarantee fit for customers ordering from anywhere in the world.
Is this coat good for everyday wear, not just cosplay?
Yes. In black, Hei’s coat is a long, structured wool coat with a dramatic collar – it reads as fashion outerwear to anyone who doesn’t recognize the character. The stand-up collar and cloth-covered buttons make it distinctive without being obviously a costume. Many customers wear it as a fall and winter coat in addition to using it for cosplay. The wool weight makes it a genuine three-season garment.
What is the lining color and why does it matter?
The lining is green acetate – this is the screen-accurate color for Hei’s coat interior as shown in Darker Than Black. When the coat opens or moves, the lining is visible, and the green is a distinctive detail that separates a proper Hei coat from a generic black trench. The acetate lining also makes the coat easy to put on and take off, and extends the life of the outer fabric.
Can I order this coat if I’m outside the USA?
Yes. We ship worldwide via trackable courier. Customers from Australia, the UK, Canada, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and many other countries have ordered this coat. The test coat and final coat both ship to your address. Delivery is typically 4 to 9 business days once each piece is complete.
How long does the whole process take?
Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to final coat in your hands. The test coat takes 3 to 4 weeks to build and ship. Once you confirm the fit, the final coat takes 3 to 4 weeks in production. If you have a convention date or a deadline, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.
Most grooms at destination weddings wear the same suit they could have worn at any church ceremony in their hometown. This three-piece ensemble is different in a way that requires no explanation.

Men’s Outerwear Fit Guide
How a Men’s Coat Should Fit
A coat is the first thing people see and the piece that has to work hardest, over a shirt one day and a suit or heavy knit the next. That makes fit a balancing act: sharp enough to look tailored, roomy enough to layer without pulling. A coat made to your measurements settles that for good. You choose the length and the fit, we cut the shoulders, chest, and sleeve to your body with the right room to layer, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut.
Outerwear is the most enduring thing in most wardrobes, worn daily through a whole season and returned to winter after winter. Built to your frame in quality cloth, a good coat is something you own and love for years, not a purchase you second-guess. This guide covers the fits, the lengths, and the points to check so yours is right from the first wear.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim
Shaped close to the body over a shirt or fine knit, for a sharp, defined line. Best if you mostly wear your coat over lighter layers and want a clean silhouette.
Standard
Comfortable room to layer a jacket or knit underneath without strain, while keeping a clean line. The most versatile fit for everyday wear across the season.
Relaxed
Generous through the body and shoulder for a contemporary, easy drape and room for heavy layers. Ideal if you want maximum warmth and a modern look.
Athletic
Cut for a built frame, with extra room through the chest and shoulders and a trimmer waist, so a muscular build layers comfortably without the coat looking boxy.
You also choose the length, from a hip-length car coat to a mid-thigh topcoat or a full overcoat below the knee, and we cut it to your height so the proportions are right.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Shoulders
The shoulder sits cleanly at or just past your own, structured enough to hold the coat’s line but never overhanging or pulling. On outerwear the shoulder carries the whole garment, so we cut it to you.
Chest & layering room
The coat closes comfortably over the layers you actually wear, with room to move your arms and no strain across the back. We cut in the layering allowance you tell us you need.
Sleeve
The sleeve is long enough to cover a jacket cuff and reach the base of your hand, so no shirt or jacket peeks out in the cold, and cut clean so it does not bunch.
Length & drape
The hem falls at the length you chose, cut to your height, and the coat hangs straight and clean from the shoulder with no flaring or pulling. This is what makes a coat look considered rather than bought off a rail.
Every coat is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, in the fit and length you choose, with the room to layer built in. A free test garment confirms the shoulders, chest, sleeve, and length on your body before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most men have, and why you can relax
Coats never fit right once I layer underneath. Either they are tight over a jacket or huge over a shirt. Can you solve that?
Yes, because we build the layering room in on purpose. Tell us what you actually wear under your coat, a suit jacket, a heavy knit, both, and we cut the chest and back to close comfortably over it while still looking clean on its own. You confirm exactly that room on the free test garment before the final cloth is cut.
I have never bought a coat I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. We make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put it on over your usual layers, check the shoulders, chest, sleeve, and length, and send us your notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished coat is a fit you have already approved.
I am nervous I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to be exact. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment is there to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
A coat like this is a big spend. What is my safety net?
Nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment, so you are never gambling on a coat you have not seen on your body. And a coat is worn more than almost anything else you own, most days for a whole season, so the cost spread across years of wear is usually very small for something you rely on daily.
Will I still love it in five years, or will it feel dated?
A coat is exactly where buying to keep pays off. We cut a timeless line rather than a trend, in quality cloth built to last, so it wears in beautifully and holds its shape season after season. Most men find their coat becomes the one they reach for every day of winter, and years on it still feels like theirs. It is made to be owned and enjoyed for a long time, not replaced.
What if it arrives and something is still not right?
The final coat is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished coat carries seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
What if my weight changes over the years?
Your finished coat is made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can adjust it within reason if your shape shifts, and its layering room gives it natural flexibility. We also keep your measurements on record, so ordering another piece that fits is simple whenever you want one.
