Hello, all! I finally built a version of Zoe's coat that I am happy with. As with the Browncoat, this is not an exact replica...it is my interpretaion of Zoe's coat. This is the one seen in the flashback sequences of OOG....also in Safe and a few others.

Some details...
The coat pictured is made out of a cotton twill. After playing with several types of cloth, this gives the best "fall and flow". Including the lining (the coat is fully-lined), there are about 10-12 yards of cloth in these coats. They are heavy without being overwhelming. The model is my sister-in-law, and she is not a Browncoat...but she still loves the coat. She says it is very comfortable.
Alright, pictures and then we'll get to the pricing and sizing:

I can build the coats in full sizes (like 10-20+)...I'd need your bust, waist, hips, arm length, height, and from the nape of your neck to about mid-calf (for overall length). You can email these to me at tristan71@cableone.net

Pricing. I am asking $180.00 for these coats plus shipping. They take a lot of cloth and a little more than a week to build. Remember, I DO NOT accept any money before building you a coat. An email order is what I start with. I'll let you know when I start the coat, and then email you pictures of the finished coat before sending you a PayPal Money Request. For a shipping estimate, email me with your Zip Code. I work on a first-order, first-served policy...if there are orders ahead of you, I will let you know.

I think I covered anything. If y'all have any questions, feel free to post. I hope to sell a lot of these!

Thank you for looking!

Thank you, KelKhil! I am also trying to work on one of these for the guys...an Independent soldier coat, if you will. I really liked the way they looked, and am planning on bulding one of those costumes for next D*C, so I hope to have one of those rolled down the runway in the near future!

Hah, Tristan has my measurements

so I'll have my ZoeCoat before you! Squee! So 'cited. It is lovely, lovely, lovely!

See, it looks a lot like a regular overcoat. I can wear it to work every day. Only I and Browncoats will know that it's really a ZoeCoat. I guess if I sew a 57th Brigade patch on the sleeve, I'll kind of blow that whole subtle thing, eh?

Thank you, Clementine! I do think sewing the Brigade patch on might give it away...but it would be funny!

Oh my! is there no end to your talents Tristan? It is totally gorgeous and must have taken you hours to make!

*ponders the fact that to buy one might mean failing to make enough money for Dragon*Con next year* I will just have to lust after it from afar! *sigh*

Tell your sister-in-law she is cute too!

Love you - Magda x x x

Thank you, Magda!
By all means, save for D*C! It is more important that you make it here.
It took about two weeks of tinkering to get it to the end product you see. Now that I have the pattern, it should only take about a week, all told.
Thanks, I will pass it on to her!
