Hey everyone.... Not kilt-related so posted in off-topic, but I thought that the rabble might be a good place to ask my question as I know we have a few historical re-enactment-type people lurking about.

I am looking for a 19c U.S. Naval admiral's costume. Specifically, the type worn by Commodore Matthew Perry when he sailed to Japan.




I need it by the last week of September, as I plan to use it in a college class to teach my students. I'm willing to pay a fair amount if I have to (but of course, would prefer not to)... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Finding costumes on the Internet is a horrible, horrible exercise in sifting through reams of cheap, kids' Halloween costumes and other assorted crap that has nothing to do with what I'm after.

Thanks in advance, all.
