So...what do we think? Just the liners, or are we feeling mighty and want to give the steel pots a shot?
I say go w/ the steel pots. They are not that weighty and I have seen two people at Dragon Con with them on. The steel pot looks a lot better than just the liner.

BrownCoat1, I am planning on making a cloth browncoat and the red vests they wore underneath. I am going to try to make them as inexpensively as possible...which should not be too difficult. I'll probably use a modified trenchcoat pattern, so they won't take that much cloth.
As far as getting the G36 locally, would you mind me asking how much? I may see about getting one through you if they aren't that bad.

I am still interested in the authentic leather browncoat, either in addition to or in liu of the one for this uniform.

You said you were waiting until your supplier had more, wanted to make sure I didn't need it right away. Said to wait to give you measurements until you had the stuff.
No hurry, Waiting Is. I really just want to have it in time for D*C.
I guess my main purpose for posting that was to see if it would be ok to wear with the uniforms we are assembling or if it will look out of place.

no directions on this site but the knitted fake chainmail looks pretty convincing to me, I am not the best knitter by a long shot, but thought our better knitters might be able to puzzle out construction method because I can follor directions.
The joy of teh patches of chainmail means no humongous shirts to make which would keep cost down considerably

RIMG, shiny. I was hoping that email got to you. One way or another, you will have a leather Browncoat for D*C! 
It should be alright...I wouldn't think it would be out of place. I know that I'll be wearing a cloth one and saving my leather one for the rest of the day...but it would be very shiny to see leather out there!

..I'll be at Dragon*Con '07; would like to be part of the parade brigade. Shepler's latest Xmas catalog has men's trousers that are of that tweedy-brownish-tanish color that appear to be a close match; just needing the stripe down the side. The wwmerc red vests appear close, too; with the exception of the collar.
