3rd Rock Harry Solomon’s Coat Help

[TymanRoach]

Hey everyone.

So for my first project on the RPF, I’m hoping to track down my favourite characters coat from my favourite TV-show, 3rd Rock From The Sun! I’m fairly certain that this is a real coat and not made for the show. Supposedly its a woman’s parka, so I’m hoping to acquire an actual vintage one. There appear to be 2 different coats as seen in the pictures below, the coat worn in the first season has shorter fur (I prefer the one with longer fur worn in the later seasons myself) the inside is made out of different material and the quilted pattern is much larger, it also has pull strings in the hood. I've been though thrift shops and vintage clothing stores and I’m keeping a close eye on eBay but I haven’t had much luck yet. So I’m hoping that someone knows what brand it is or can help identify it. So any information on how or where I get my hands on this awesome coat would be greatly appreciated!

And after I get the coat taken care of I’m also hoping to identify the kind of platform shoes he's wearing in the first 2 pictures and eventually get a full costume going :cool

Thanks for looking!

Normal bump because I can’t think of another quote at the moment

I would think that was made by the costume department.I'd start by looking online for the gray fur.

Nah, its a real coat, I'm sure of that. But as far as getting a replica made goes, the Mongolian fur looks fairly close. If I cant get a vintage one I’ll look into making my own or commissioning someone to make one.

I saw this on another forum, where they made a pretty decent replica (although their fur was shorter)...

This coat was made based on a pattern for a single layer hooded fleece zip up with no pockets.

[TymanRoach]

Yeah, I found that one a while ago, its pretty good. I wonder if graverobbergirl's mom would be interested in making another one..

 

[TymanRoach]

Still, I don't want to get ahead of myself Here. Getting a replica made is a last resort kinda thing, and I'm not nearly ready to give up on finding a vintage one yet
