No direct pointers, but it looks like a variant of a Napoleonic jacket, which might make it easier to search for.

costumes.org has many links to sites selling vintage and repro uniforms; they might be a source (or a lead).

I've been looking for something like that as well.

It reminds me of Adam Ant from the 80's - lol!

I love it and I got the idea from a Photographer that wants to shoot with me at the end of april so I can't wait. I am going to check out the site thanks so much.
I have another thread (topic) open regarding a skirt can you help me with that at all?

thanks again

Costumes.org is great.  Also, looking for sites about military reenactment helps for leads on vintage and vintage-looking military gear.  For US military clothes, West Point and Annapolis are gold mines.

Hit up H&M if theres one near you. They have jackets very much like that one and the prices are ridiculously cheap!

There used to be a fancy dress shop in Portslade that specialised in uniforms but I don't know if they are still there... and the best military/dress suit secondhand shop ever in Church Road has sadly closed down...

Brighton vintage shops are horrendously overpriced but check out the excellent army surplus store at Preston Circus (bottom of Old Shoreham Road), as they've got some fantastic stuff and may even be able to source something for you!

Very cool idea - best of luck!
