Skyfall Shanghai Peacoat

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Shanghai Peacoat, shown here:

My budget is around £100, and I cant find anything similar for around that price. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Go to an army/navy surplus store. But you'll need to find an older peacoat when they were still 100% wool and still navy. And then replace the buttons with horn. I did that with mine about 3 years ago, and I found a beautiful peacoat from the late 40s.

+1 I did the same thing. Not that I was looking for an alternative to the BR peacoat. I just wanted a nice 100% wool coat. Mine is from the early 1950's and still looks absolutely great. See this link about old peacoats. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?35824-PEACOAT-DATING
