In my search for a Regency tailcoat for this year's ball, I've come upon this:

I'm looking at the RB5033 or the RB584A and have emailed them about sizing pour moi. Ah, the hemming and hawing, and color issues as well. But other recent coat issues aside, this is one that has to be dealt with on a timeline, so hopefully this will sort out as an option.

As would I, no doubt.. I would probably buy that coat for myself at some point, but I suspect not for a Regency event that I was attending as a man. It works with my day to say concept, in which I am generally distinctly female, but do it up with aniquated male trappings. I rarely wish to have a male body, but the ability to wear that particular coat as it was intended really does give me a solid shot of the ol' envy.

*nod* I initially misinterpreted your plans as intending attend the event in a male role rather than as a male.

On a separate note, I have to get over my aversion to buying costuming pieces. I always feel that if I haven't made them that I'm cheating. Of course that's the feeling that had me making an 1860s gown in <12 hours and ending up too exhausted to wear it to an event.
