Carol asks…
What is this jacket called? Where can I find one?
Michael Jackson used to wear this type of jacket – I’ve always loved them. I’m looking for one for winter, NOT a halloween costume.
I am a man and I’m looking for one made for a man. Here is a link to one of the few I can find online:

Also, if you know of a website where they are selling them – please let me know.
if the other link didnt work try that one. Also – I cannot afford the real thing LOL assuming its more than like $200 so anyplace that makes replicas or a pattern so my grandma can sew one?

That Balmain jacket is over $11,000. That’s a bit extreme.
The style you’re looking for is band jacket, but it’s very difficult to find one for men. You might want to search for them at your local thrift store or vintage store.
They do make pretty good replicas for women, though.
Another similar look is the military jacket.
But again this look is easy to find for women but very difficult for men.
What I would suggest is that you find a men’s peacoat or trench coat similar to these:

And then replace their original buttons with big round gold or brass ones.
So you end up with something like:
Otherwise, the closest to band or military jackets I’ve found for men are these:
