I want a coat like Fagin's.

A looong frock coat with long cuffs and lots of buttons and all swingy in the skirt. Dark green would be lovely.

I'm just not going to find it, am I?

from america?

Ebay is probably your best bet i'd think, nothing in green on there currently i can find but lots of frock coats.

Get it made at a local tailor, wouldn't be and more £££ than an off the peg coat, and you'd have exactly what you wanted

MrsKitty · 28/08/2012 07:41

A bit cleaner than Fagin's though, yes? ;-)

trixymalixy · 28/08/2012 08:04

All saints maybe?

wellwisher · 28/08/2012 12:34

Yes I thought of All Saints too! There's quite a bit in TK Maxx at the moment...

'Oh,mum,not your Fagin coat'. It's dark green (not bottle) velvety, with grosgrain details. Was from H&M! a few years ago.

It suits me and my colouring but (did) really embarrass the DDs.Grin

Now they're after it!

And got another long velvet coat from Monsoon,lapels,double breasted,chocolate but streamlined not swingy.

What size are you?

I found a black velvet slightly primmer style fagin stylee coat in a charity shop last year, it originated from Per Una/M&S of all places.

Mine is styled like this one, but knee length

harbingerofdoom · 05/09/2012 21:18

I think that to wear one you have to be quite/very tall.
Sometimes see them in the weekend mags but cost 1000s

Try nomads clothing. They have a green velvet swishy one. Not sure how Fagan it is mind....
