Help quickly finding a long half belt style leather coat.

[Southernwayfare]

My wife is a theater costume designer and needs a mid 50's style brown leather coat. Preferable something with a little "western" detail, i.e. a western yoke. The show just began previews and the coat she found at a vintage store has ripped b/c the leather was so old. She asked me if I could help her find a similar coat. Any suggestions? It can't wait for custom construction.

Thanks.

ebay is your friend for this one.

I'm guessing you want something relatively inexpensive yet period correct? If you're lucky you can nab something for sub-100 dollars. I've a closetful of cheap vintage / NOS ebay finds.

Not a specific auction... just a link to the vintage leather jackets category. You can alsy try vintage leather "coats" category too. GL.
