Anthropologie "Half-past-six" trenchcoat by Taikonhu, $198. I tried it on at the store last night and it felt so lovely. Unfortunately, that price tag is sooooo not me.
I'm seriously considering a DIY fix. I'm thinking a box of dye and this Target trench might do the trick:

Maybe - its gonna be pretty difficult to get it right though....The mac is lovely anyway!
aw, you can do it! looks like fun (if a bit messy...)
yeah, do it! If only because I want to know if it works so that I can attempt it
do it! it will look awesome
I would make sure to see what fabric the Isaac Mizrahi coat is. Different fibers take dye with better results such as cotton.
Also I would look on eBay or a thrift store for an even CHEAPER coat to DIY dye. If the results suck, you aren't out as much as $50 for the Isaac trench.
Just a thought, but I would love to see you try it!
Just remember, that coat will probably be at least half off in about 3 months or so, but DO post a follow up if you dip dye!
It's a great look.
Oh man - go for it!
It sounds like fun and how awesome would it be to say that you did it yourself?
100% cotton is a fabric that takes dye well.
Let us know if you do dye the coat!
I'm right there with you! I blogged about that very same idea last week.
I'm interested to see how this turns out. Good luck!
