Guardians of the Galaxy Got Me Going Goth

Quite the alliteration actually. 

First it was The Matrix, then it was Van Helsing...and now its Guardians of the Galaxy.  Now I cant take it anymore and broke down.

I always wanted a floor length duster/trench coat.  But Neo's from the Matrix, while it looked good on him, just wasn't my style.  Classic Western dusters from behind make one look like the Pope.

But I managed to find a middle ground and jumped all over it.  A Goth adaptation of Van Helsing's trenchcoat.  With my boots on it will clear the floor by 2"

Ebay auction #110941292612  I don't have a mouse so cut/paste isn't available.

Its coming from the UK.  Handmade.  I have learned to be patient with my toys because there is only so much time I can devote to playing.  But I have too admit, the thought of wearing this coat is really driving me and now for the first time in a long time...Im finding that 3 weeks is an unbearably long time to wait for delivery.  And  the delivery time will be hampered because of Christmas...I picked a good time to buy it. 

I almost bought the GotG Starlord Overcoat, but in the movie the coat is down to his ankles.  The one they sell is what they call Full Length but only comes down to the knees. All that does is make your pants dirty because everything deflects off the coat and lands on the unprotected part of the pants leg.

I always been a head banger.  Jeans, leather, boots.  Goth was not my style.  Odd I would turn to it for style as I approach 50.  lmao.  With all that's going on in the world, I hope I don't freak people out.

Now I need to find the right hat.  I cant believe Im saying this out loud.  lmao.  Recently I went to the store and the clerk didn't recognize me at first.  After the 3rd look he said in all the years I had been in his store, he had never seen me without a baseball cap.  And somehow I got a feeling a baseball cap just wont fit with this ensemble.
