Yeah, it's definitely called that for a reason, though it really wasn't too bad this year (then again, I didn't march in the parade)

Ah, good question regarding the placement of the patches. I have thought a bit about this, but want some other opinions.

Those of us who opt for the long coats won't have a problemas far as the patches go. I am also thinking of designing and building a "smock" similar to Zoe's to go under the red vest for those that want the exposed mail sleeves. I am going to have to get in touch with ArtCat about this, though. But, if there are sleeve-caps or even very short sleeves on the smocks, there would be a place for the patches....I'll see if I can put a picture in here to illustrate what I am talking about....


What that basically looks like is the long coat without the sleeves length-wise, but made out of what looks like burlap. Would those of you going for this option want it made out of burlap, or would you rather have the same type of cloth as the coats (cotton of some sort)? Let me know so I can design something shiny! And it will probably be a bit "cleaner" than what Zoe wears, as we are a new, sharp Battallion.

I marched in the parade in a full Mal get-up, complete with the leather Browncoat. It was warm, but not too terribly uncomfortable. Besides, we should be worried about looks rather than comfort!

FFG, and all, actually, I have been talking to WickedWren, and she did ask if we would be marching separately...I told her we would rather march with the SEBC and keep all the Browncoats united.
As for a flag, it will be our marching standard...and upright flag rather than a banner...so it will not be detracting from the SEBC banner at all.

True..on the looks vs. comfort; didn't mean to imply anything. Looks like the patches would work just fine on the smock thingy!

Sister, nothing was taken as implied...or assumed...implied-assumed...heck, now I am confused!
The patches should fit on the small sleeves of the smock...those might even be good to hide where the mail sleeves attach to the undershirt...again, I need to talk to ArtCat about that. Anyone seen here around today?

Sorry Tristan, I'm really against marching with any sort of flag. I know we're walking under the Seeb-kah "banner" but having a flag, sort of makes us separate and I'm really against that. We don't need no stinkin' flag....

I aim to misbehave!
