I've been hunting for a replacement for the past few years, but have so far only found coats in cheap, stiff fabric.

Look for a stiff fabric as too much movement will prevent the illusion from working.

Without warning and from some undetermined cause, the stiff fabric went up in flames.

Textures range from a soft and silk-like material to a crisp or stiff fabric that sounds like a paper bag when moved.

These were made tall, to avoid the small buttons slipping out of the stiff fabric.
