Looking for silver driving jacket - Stuntman Mike from Grindhouse

Hello all,

It is my goal this Halloween to dress up as Stuntman Mike from Quentin Tarantino's movie Grindhouse/Death Proof. He wears a silver driving jacket with sponsor patches on it. The rest of the outfit should be easy enough. I can take care of the patches separately, but the jacket has been proving difficult to find.
I have a saved search on eBay alerting me to any new auctions for "silver jacket", and it's been almost a month with no similar results. I figured people here might have some ideas. Here is a picture of the jacket:

It has a stripe on it but you may be able to remove it and the collar is different. Try looking for satin jackets, they were all over the place back in the day and I would bet that you could find a cheap one somewhere. http://www.madeindetroit.com/

I set up a saved search on eBay to email me when any new auctions were listed with "silver jacket" in the title. I monitored this for months. Finally about 3 weeks before Halloween one came up that looked passable. It was a silver satin motorcycle jacket with patches on it and said "Honda" down the sleeves. I won the auction. Unfortunately the jacket was just too small for me to wear so I had to come up with another costume last-minute. I gave the jacket to a friend of mine.

If you're interested I could see if the jacket is still available. I am 6'4" @ 240lbs so I normally wear a L/XL, and the jacket was a medium, but said it ran large, so I knew it might not fit.

Definitely interested.

I'm about 180 pounds - so it might actually fit me well.
