So, everything I've read says Ten's coat was made-from-scratch, rather than sourced and bought. I am HORRIBLE at drafting patterns, so went looking. I found this one, that I think with just a few mods could be very useable:

The only mods I think it needs (chime in if you have other ideas):
- A little longer length
- Move the buttons
- Add back vent and walking slit
Other than that, it seems a pretty decent match based off this photo from an exhibition that showed the actual screen-used coat:

And the merchant was super-responsive to my queries! I've only just paid for it and can't say enough about her.
Now to find just the right fabric, and a seamstress. Oh, and some source photos for the alterations...
