Where can I get this coat worn in The Time Traveler's Wife?

How can I find out where to buy the coat that Rachel McAdams wore in The Time Traveler's Wife?

Is there a message board where you can ask about movie wardrobes? Or do you know where to by this coat? Or can you help me with a description of the style and fabric so I can Google it? Thanks!

Unless it looks very different when she's standing up, I think that's just a regular slouchy shearling (actually, it looks to me like faux shearling) winter coat. You can probably find something similar in the women's coat department at a department store.

You can try asking Entertainment Weekly's Style Hunter. They answered one of my questions once!

Looking online, how about something like this? I don't know what this style is called, but the neck/hood, body shape, and cuffs look similar.

From the photo, it looks like they put Rachel McAdams in a larger-sized coat than she'd usually wear. Based on the way the material seems to drape, it looks to me like the coat is made of faux shearling.

You might try contacting the costume designer, who according to IMDB was Julie Weiss. She's listed in the Costume Designers Guild directory as being repped by Paul Hook at ICM; a note c/o him might get an answer. Or not... but it's worth a try.

This film was shot in Toronto and vicinity. Try Holt Renfrew.
