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![]()
