Shops/people with a specific jacket

I've had a long heavy wool jacket for a couple years now and the lining is now completely destroyed. Rather than trying to repair it I wanted to get a new jacket. The trouble is I want a WW2 vintage *Royal Navy* PEA coat or greatcoat.

Besides ebay (which only had 1 that would fit me and I lost the bid) where would I start looking for something like this? My main concerns are
A) has to be very warm
B) I'd *like* it to be vintage (price is not an issue, I am thinking around $400+)
C) it *MUST* have original buttons, I do not want wood replacements.

I'm sure this isn't the best place to ask but I don't really frequent any other forums and my current coat is literally falling apart on me.

    Did you google "vintage clothes online"? This site looks promising. I don't know how you'd go about verifying authenticity though.

    There's a couple stores on the mainland you might want to try. A few in Vancouver, and a couple in New Westminster might have what you are looking for.
