Jackets/coats/etc.

I've been trying to track down a good jacket.. Coat.. Thing. Honestly I don't even know what to call what I'm after anymore because every other person seems to have a different opinion on what to call it. Something long that'll go well with steampunky stuff but isn't made of an obviously artificial material.

Where's a good place to find that kind of stuff? I've searched all over Hamilton to no avail.

i'll be going back to London soon.
they have a bundle of alternative/lolita/punk stores over there at ridiculously cheap prices.
- will be visiting Camden Town anyway -

if you show me a reference picture, i could have a look for one while i'm there?
i found some amazing coats last time i was over.

Eevee since you love me you could get me a lolita/punk thing?? *puppy dog eyes*
(The stores in chch suck)

@ Arki: Look on trade me and sites like that and keep looking in op shops. You'll find what your looking for eventually! ^^

By MissEevee. 28/07/09, 08:52 am

...there aren't any stores for that kind of thing in Christchurch.

so technically, they don't suck, they're just non-existent. >.<

um, maybe.
don't blame me if i get the wrong size though!

By Olli. 28/07/09, 08:56 am

I'll give you my measurements before you go!

There are stores that sell stuff sometimes but they are really hard to find >_<

Funny, all the coats and things I've liked that *I've* seen have been in girly sizes.

I can't find any pictures of anything close to what I'm after. T_T

'Sh okay, I guess I'll just keep searching, eventually I'll find *something* close, and I can just attach bits to it until it feels right. 'sh the spirit of steampunk after all.

Although.. If anybody spots anything that might fit the bill, feel free to let me know, yea? ^_^

The only thing I can think of is thrift shops. They have effing cool things in there.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.
