where to buy a beige shop coat...like open all hours (Ronnie Barker)

Can anyone help me?
I am looking for a beige coloured shop coat...the sort of thing that Arkright wore in the programme Open All Hours. This is for my hubby as they are dressing up as 1980's style tv programmes. I can get a navy/white/maroon colour but need a beige coloured one. I would not mind if it was second hand...would need to be size xl..

Anyone know where I could get one?

    Cant help really Im afraid except to suggest that a white one could be dyed darker perhaps. Even steeped in lots of cold strong tea or coffee if its only for dressing up!

  • What about a workwear supplier such as David Swann? Might be the best option as I don't think many places use the shopcoats much any more.

    HTH
  • I've tried the 'work wear' place in ballymena (Harryville)...they sell all other colours except the beige one I am after....i shall 'stalk' some of the oldie worldie shops to see if there is a man behind the counter i can strip!!
