Finally finished the Chinese-fabric version of the jacket! This is the version with the darts in the back for a more fitted look. The other jacket can be found here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=13&t=24601
That has info on cost, etc...but I'll go ahead and re-post that here.

It will take me about a week to make one of these jackets, and I can't do all of them at once.

Brass tacks:
The normal, boxy Kaylee jacket (from the link above) will run $70.00 plus shipping (I need more of the Chinese fabric than I thought).
The modified Kaylee jacket (the one on this thread)will run $80.00 plus shipping.
Right now, the fabric above is the only pattern I have access to...I am trying to find another source, but price is a factor.

For measurements, I will need bust, waist, hip, and arm length. I know you may not want to post that info here, so please email me at tristan71@cableone.net
I WILL NOT take any pre-payments for these. I don't like the thought of you paying for something you haven't seen, so I'll do this like I did the Browncoats...I'll try to email you when I start, and then I will email you pictures of the finished product. If you are satisfied, I will send you a PayPal Request for Money (or other arrangments) and will ship the jacket when the payment clears. I ship via UPS, and the charges are not that bad. If you give me your Zip Code, I can get you an estimate.

Ok, to the photos:

I can't think of anything I missed...I am sure I will come up with something tomorrow...
If you have any questions or comments, feel free!

Thank you all for the inspiration and for your patience.

W-o-w........

How did you manage to make it look nicer than the version in the series??? The fabric is gorgeous!

*drools*

We will not go quietly into the night
We will not give in without a Big Damn Fight
We are Browncoats, and we know we are right
We will rage, rage against the dying of our engine light!

Thank you, PR! I was actually not very happy with the fabric...I did not think it was even close!

Oh boy! Tristan I am just speechless - it is gorgeous! I can't let anyone wear that over a pair of overalls though...

You are just so wonderfully creative and gifted... thank you for sharing that - if I wasn't saving up all my money for next September...

Gorgeous, gorgeous jacket, Tristan.

LOVE the fabric.

Have you received a Cease & Desist letter
yet? Would you qualify for one?

I want me a jacket.
Before some fool makes you stop!

Rummages through finances...

Edit: is hip measurement 3" below waist?
Also, for this is arm length from point of
shoulder to wrist?

Marina, thank you! I'm glad the darts turned out the way they did.

FloralBunny, not yet...although I want to thank you for the panic you have set off in me!
Hip measurement is the widest point of your lower body...between 3" and 9" below the belly button.
And yes, arm measurement is shoulder point to wrist.

Exotick, thank you! I'll be looking forward to the email!
