Yep... It's on my Annoyingly Long List. But it's cheaper to find another coat and turn it into a Browncoat.

I also have a duster pattern. If I ever lay my hands on enough hide to make it, I might try making one from scratch.

There is no shocked emoticon. There should be a big-eyed shocked emoticon.
$491?!?!
I mean, it's shiny as a new star, I would love to own such a coat, but who has extra money like that lying around? I have to say, I'm glad I found mine thrift for $20, and I'm certainly going to classify it as "damn well close enough" and... not... um... lust after a genuine replica..... *drool*
Really, though, I think those huge cuffs would look a bit strange on my smallish wrists. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I love my coat! I wouldn't replace it! But now I want both...

Congrats on your browncoat!

For the heck of it, I went to a few local thrift stores here. I found several long leather coats. Black.

*sigh*

That's OK, you'll just have to play Neo. Or Trinity. Depending on your persuasion.

Naw...they wasn't brown so I left 'em there. I got a few more stores to check on the morrow.

And I still got my shorter brown coats, so all isn't unshiny.

I'm sure you'll find a browncoat needing a home eventually if you keep hitting the thrift stores. Black does seem to be more common, but hey, that's what makes us special.
So hey my patches got here! Quicker than I expected, too, I'm happy. Once I get them on there might be new pictures

Yea!!!

Actually there was one red coat. I thought briefly of trying to dye it brown, but decided that it could only end badly.

Enjoy your coat, PR! I followed your link and it does look quite shiny.

Hmmmmm, yeah, I'm not too experienced with dying leather. Can't be easy.
I wouldn't mind a long red leather coat. It wouldn't be all shiny and Firefly-themed, but it'd be nice to have. I love red.

And thanks! It is quite shiny! Looks even better with the patches, I think. Can't wait to get some pictures of the completed project Sure glad folk aren't tired of rambling about it with me!
Hey, RMMC, do you have any shots of your short brown coats? I bet they're pretty shiny, too!

PR, I'm not too sure on how to dye leather, either. I can barely do material (I made some tye-dyed stuff a few years back); leather is a whole other animal.

Sadly, I do not have any piccys of my brown coats. It'd be awhile before I can take any as the weather here sucks mightily, and my apartment is too much of a disaster zone to want to take any pictures in it. (I'm spring cleaning and I've got stuff everywhere.)

I'll look foward to seeing your finished product.
