Question: Anyone know where i can find a reasonably priced Silk Kimono, similar to what Geddy Lee wore in RUSH?

I know, very specific, but i'm trying to assemble an early Geddy Lee costume and was wondering if there was a white silk kimono out there for around $50 or less. Completely understandable if thats not enough $$$ of that type of clothing, just curious. Here's what i'm talking about... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I2gmT3ra…

thanks!

Answer: For some reason your link hates me, so I can't see the video to see what kind of kimono you're talking about. That said, you might be able to get white wedding kimono (look for kakeshita) for $50 or less from places like Ichiroya or Yamatoku. But chances are that at that price, it's not going to be silk and/or it's not going to be in good condition. You would be surprised at the number of very nice kimono, even formal ones like wedding kimono, that are polyester, and polyester is more likely to be in your price range (not to mention easier to care for).
