    Looking for back-zip jacket

    I'm working on a project where an actor gets tied up in a straight jacket, but there is very little time between one scene and the next to put the actress in an actual straight jacket. I threw out a suggestion that if we got a long enough fencing jacket (probably big men's one for the lady) and pinned/sewed the sleeves in the desired manner, we could use a back-zip one and a stage hand could get her in in no time.

    The only problem is I don't know where we could buy a back zip jacket. I've only seen the front zip ones online (which I've considered, till now, a good thing), and I doubt my fencing team would be willing to lend one out for the production.

    Could someone help point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    As I fence both right and left-handed, I got one a while ago from Tripplette.

    Most vendors have some form of back-zip jacket - look for terms like "basic", "b/z" or "club".

    Well if you don't mind spending over a hundred bucks you can go to to this site: www.leonpaulusa.com they have many back zip fencing jackects. You will also need to look at their European sizing chart since mens sizes are way different than womens in most European countries. Don't go too big just go one or two sizes above the actresses' real size. I wouldn't reccomend getting a mens because it won't fit her as well as a womens, but if u really want a mens go ahead. Sometimes there aren't mens and womens sizes at some sites just unisex.
    Good luck!
    (tell the actress to break a leg!)

    PS
    Here is the direct link for leon paul's back-zip jackets.

    Or you can go to Absolute and order this jacket for about $32 (it even comes in white).
