I realize that this isn't Fashion Lounge...
...but Kari Byron's wardrobe on the present season of Mythbusters has included a distinctive cowl-necked, side-buttoned gray trenchcoat; it strikes me as a dashing garment that would lend itself to a number of retrofantastic looks.

(One commenter on Redheaded Goddess Forums, where I found the image, sneered that it looked like "a costume from a 80's sci-fi series"--but not everyone would regard that as a bad thing.)

Does anyone out there have any idea where she might have gotten it?

ETA: [info]braisinhussy has identified the coat as All Saints' (unfortunately discontinued) Nahara Trenchcoat.

It seems Carmen San Diego-esque, but it's not red.

I'm not on Twitter, but I'll see if anything comes of either the Mythbusters forum thread or Ms. Byron's own Twitter account; thank you.

Although it regrettably seems to be out of stock, thank you for the ID!

I do my shopping for discontinued items on ebay.

This one is a bit pricey and may not be your size, but you could set up a search/notify thing.

Specifically, Kari's coat reminds me of the one worn by Vincent Law of Ergo Proxy (minus the ill-advised diaper-flap, which isn't visible in this picture.)
