Where do you get a Trench/Long coat that fits, in Brisbane?!
The Steampunk partei is next weekend and I've hit a bit of a snag, my London Fog trench coat is too small [across the sholders of all places!] -it was a tad small when I bought it maybe 14 years ago; but now it is just no good at all.

Apart from the costume angle -I don't really expect to get one before the partei anymore; I'd just really like a nice coat  -y'know? 

So, I'm on the hunt for a Trench or Long coat -Black!- for real person size 4-5XL [thats a 50+ I think?] Wool great coats are not quite right:

1, I don't like wool. -too scratchy.
2, Waaay too hot in Queensland.
3, Always seem to be a little dingy looking.

So, does anyone know where I can get one or If anyone makes them?

Budget is: $200 ...but the cheaper, the better -of course!

I agree with the op shop comment...finding anything halfway decent for under 200 is hard...try an army disposal as well, there is one near enoggera that might have what you're looking for but I am not sure where exactly it is.

If you manage to find somewhere ping a reply to this comment, 'cause I cant find one either and I'd really like one also :)

To be honest guppy it'd be cheaper (under normal circumstances) to buy overseas and have it shipped here, but given thats its in a week that is not an option obviously.

Lab coat bought from UQ bookshop and dyed black is cheapest and also comfortable. discuss.

Now that is a good idea -I have been asking about lab coats --but noone knew where to get one. They sort of knew about them -but noone could say WHERE.

thanx
