ISO a long coat for Genesis

This is something I've had my eye out for, and possibly what I want may simply not exist currently, but I would love it if people know of something I've missed or overlooked.

My go-to long coat for genesis has for quite a while been the one from Street Mage:

And I love it, it's very versatile, not bound by genre, but of course doesn't stand up to many situations one might want a long coat for. It has great flare-morphs and bones in the bottom part, but the upper area is less flexible. It's always half-open, the sleeves are half-length, there's no collar or buttons to speak of, etc. It also has a tendency to bulge quite weirdly sideways around the breasts of female characters.

So I'm on the hunt for another option. I like the look of the M4 coat in Regency Expansion or even Wanted Dead or Alive, but don't want to deal with autofit issues, etc. if I don't have to. Something built for genesis is what I'm after. Also, I'm not too keen on dynamic options, just knowing my own work tendencies. Any help much appreciated. :)

    I've been using Sickleyields deadwood coat but it seems to be gone now from Rendo,. I've also used Street mage as cowboy duster (lookimng for a good duster for Genesis.

    ...well now having Sickle Yield's Rigging and Morphing tool I can now use the Raiver and Dead or Alive long coats without distortion.

    You found it I searched Sickleyield and it didn't show up, yes, that is the one, great morphs too.

    Thanks you guys, this is a great suggestion. I'd had a feeling if someone had made just this sort of thing, it might have been Sickleyield, but I wasn't finding it. Cool.

    Still, as Totte suggests, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options out besides these.

    And if you don't want to fuss with re-fitting the Raiver coat...

    AHA! Yes, thank you DaWaterRat - I THOUGHT there was another one I was missing!
    I have this already, but I think it stopped showing up or else I accidentally uninstalled it thinking it was textures for Onyx. :red:
    I might be able to use that one for my current purposes... maybe. Could be too stylized. We'll see.

    So for now I'm using the Dark Moods coat for this. I'll have to get Sickleyield's to try out, which looks pretty great - thanks again for that recommendation.

    This is what I'm working on, still a work in progress. I've been experimenting with DimensionTheory's Eyeris shader to use on clothing as like a shiny transparent filmy-plastic. I like the results, but am not satisfied yet... I haven't gotten it to the full potential of what I think I can make happen with that shader. Inspired by the famous see-through plastic raincoat in Blade Runner. :)


    If anybody else thinks of other neat genesis coats out there, would love to know of them!
