-EDIT-
Unfortunately, while attempting to modify the collar on this jacket, I managed to destroy the neckline by shredding the leather. I have decided, after about ten minutes' thought, to discontinue offering a female verion of the leather Browncoat. I am aggravated at the moment, and I have no desire to re-pattern this coat, re-cut it, and assemble it. The leather required is a lot thinner than on the regular coats, and as such, is much more fragile...lending itself to tearing easier. Therefore, I will stick to making Mal's version. I apologize to the ladies, but I am still going to develop Zoe's cloth coat.
Thank you all for commenting on the coat; I'm sorry it did not work out at this time.

*reminds herself over and over that she already has a very shiny coat, even if it isn't as nice as this, and does not have $300 dollars to spare*

Thank you, PR! The good news is that the cloth versions will be significantly cheaper...something like $150.00 if everything works out alright.

Gorgeous, Tristan!
Now if you could fashion an adequate excuse for me (I am up to here in coats, and not going to any cons!) to order one, I'd be mighty grateful.

FloralBunny...um...you can always use a custom-built female Browncoat? 
Does that work?

Oh, this is so shiny...and perfect for Flan II! Problem is, I'm already up to my pi gu in expenses for the Flan! But, out of curiosity, how long does it take to get one made, just in case I should happen upon an extra $300 between now and December?

If yours is the only order I have, and I don't have any problems getting ahold of leather, it only takes a week maximum to build one. I have a leather source that is local, so I can actually see the leather before I buy it, but they only restock every now and then...and I have almost bought them out already! 
That is why I decided to try to find a suitable cloth alternative, as well.

Oh Tristan! This is GORGEOUS!!!
I would love to have one but I only just got a job and I'll only be making about $400 a month.
I just may have to look into one of those cloth versions you mentioned.
Although....Christmas is on coming up...so is my birthday...Maybe I can talk someone into gifting one of these to me.
Or would it be possible to do some sort of payment plan?
God I want that coat!

Thank you, Kayna! Yes, they do make wonderful gifts!
I am really hoping to have the cloth versions ready sooner than I expected...I will see if I can light a fire under myself...
As far as payment plans, that's not really an option...I don't collect any money up front, and don't actually create an invoice until after the customer has seen photos of the finished coat and approved the purchase via email. It's only then that I get a return. I am sorry about that.

That's ok. I figured it was a longshot anyway.
Still gonna figure out a way to get one of these or one of the cloth ones. Must see how they turn out of course but coming from you I expect nothing but the best. You're just that good.
