THIS TRENCHCOAT IS NOT A "NEO'S MATRIX" COSTUME so you've come to the wrong place if you think I make them.

Ambassor current project: xTrench (This coat has been named the 'Ambassor Saegen' ) IS COMPLETE as of 14 may 2003, deadline: 15 may 2003. Overall, the Trench Coat took 6 days to make. Goal is 4 days.

Saegen is a word that refers to a person of 'brave peace' or protector.  Someone who has enough bravery to keep the peace.  They are guardians and protectors of important places.

The jacket contains over 20 pieces and the pattern was made from scratch using a proof-of-concept model.  This trenchcoat was inspired by Gloria Bava's design work on the Neo Character. Unlike the "Neo Matrix COSTUMES", the Ambassor Saegen is a fully functional trenchcoat.

I am inspired by Gloria Bava's work and have attempted to capture the essence of her work through various interviews such as : http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/cmp/rl_interview_g_bava.html
