John Kreese Coat – The Real Cobra Kai Sensei Look from Karate Kid & Cobra Kai
If you’ve watched The Karate Kid or the Cobra Kai series and remember that intense guy in the blue coat barking orders — the one who believes in no mercy and total domination — then you know exactly who we’re talking about. That’s John Kreese, and that John Kreese Coat? It’s not just a jacket. It’s a symbol.
This Cobra Kai coat is modeled after the one worn by Martin Kove in both the original 1980s films and the hit Netflix series. It’s the same deep blue martial arts coat with a sharp lapel, buttoned front, and that no-nonsense military vibe that says, “Don’t mess with me.”
We built this John Kreese wool coat to match the real Cobra Kai uniform look — heavy-duty wool fabric, full-length sleeves, and a fit that gives you that commanding presence Kreese is known for.
It’s not flashy. It’s not trendy. It’s tough. Just like the man who wears it.
What’s Included
- Blue wool coat styled after John Kreese’s iconic Cobra Kai sensei coat
- Made from thick wool fabric — built to last, warm in winter, perfect for fall
- Soft viscose lining inside — feels smooth and comfortable, even when worn for hours
- Buttoned closure down the front — classic, clean, easy to wear
- Lapel collar — sharp and structured, just like in the movies and show
- Full-length sleeves — gives that full 80s martial arts coat silhouette
- Two side waist pockets — great for hands or small gear
- Two inside pockets — perfect for phone, wallet, or hidden notes (just kidding… maybe)
This is the closest thing to the Martin Kove coat you can own without being on set.

FAQs
1. Is this the exact coat from the movies?
It’s a faithful replica of the John Kreese wool coat from The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai — same color, style, and fit.
2. What sizes do you have?
We carry XXS to XXXL. The cut is slightly boxy, like the original vintage action movie coat.
