Hi all.
Just wanted to get it out there that I've gathered some more evidence of the true brand of Columbo's raincoat; it all aligns with the work by Seputei.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the true make of the coat is Costa de Mallorca and never was Cortifiel - just a mistake which led to decades of misattribution.
Since learning about this, I've actually managed to purchase a 'Columbo' coat, contemporaneous to Falks - a remarkable stroke of luck, nothing more.
This, however, has allowed me to examine it in detail side by side with on-screen footage.
I'm happy to talk about it or show it; in fact, there are pics already on my X account under @ColumboCoat.
