My total, complete obsession continues!
My patches are on, and they are shiny. I've posted a brand new pic in my blue sun items just because I love my patches soooo much (I am, in fact, considering getting yet another one at some point in time)
Anyone interested can see new pics here:

I too found a browncoat at the local thrift store... but it didn't fit me, just fit the hubby, so he gets to dress up for me instead *G*

Here's a couple pics of the coat in my Scrapbook:

My Very Own Browncoat

I have plans to make my own browncoat, starting with a mock up in canvass to get the fit and pattern right, then in deerskin once I know how much I need and how to do it... the buckles I'll either try making from steel or aluminum, or as a last resort, I'll cast them in pewter... it's a long term project though, up there with making a replica of Mal's pistol since they're impossible to find online anymore...

Anyone else tried making their own yet??

Very nice. A very shiny coat.

You'll have to show us your coat when you finish it.

Thanks RMMC! Shoulda tested the link...

2x2, that is a fabulous coat! It looks almost like the "genuine" replica! Congrats on finding such a shiny coat! (sounds like almost the same thing happened to both of us )

No problem, PR. I just wanted to make sure all the folks could see your coat.

Now I gotta get one got me.

First, get cashy money...

Nirwin, I feel your pain. Problem is, there aren't many thrift stores around where I live...apparently the mall is more interesting (? ). And I don't even know where to start with making my own from scratch...I think my best bet might be eBay. Maybe I'd best make peace with my dear and fluffy lord afore I go there.

Anybody else had any luck at eBay?

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

I haven't tried to look there yet. I've only just actually registered on there, figuring (correctly, it seems) that'd I'd need a 12-step program.

I'll go give it a try & let ya know what's out there. One word of warning...an item may be 'cheap'...but more often than not the shipping isn't.

And this one: http://tinyurl.com/pb9fa is an affordable (at the moment) $1.00 + shipping.
