Hello

Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome.

Here is one method of many.

I borrow from the image itself!

(Please understand that I will do this very quickly for demo purposes, so it's not perfect)

Make selections of the coat using any of the selection tools, copy it to it's own layer (Cmd/Cntrl + J) and then move them.



Note: Here I have lightened the borrowed parts so you can see them.
I used the Move Tool and Free Transform to position.
Left Side

Right Side


Both


Add layer masks to each of the borrowed layers.
Use the Brush Tool on the layer mask to start blending.
Note: I still have the borrowed layers brightened for visibility.


This is without the brightening.


Lastly, I used the Brush Tool to continue blending.

Sorry.............I did not know your level of experience with Ps. Since you made no mention of your skill level, I assumed you would know what I was demonstrating.


Select the original image layer.
Use the Rectangular Marquis Tool to make a selection of the area you wish to copy........or borrow.
Once you have the selection, hit Cmd/Cntrl + J to copy the selected area to it's own layer.


Select the original image layer again.
Use the Rectangular Marquis Tool to make a selection of the area you wish to copy........or borrow.
Once you have the selection, hit Cmd/Cntrl + J to copy the selected area to it's own layer.


Now you have the two "borrowed layers" to move, transform, and add a llayer mask .
