-EDIT-
As of the 7th of October, this coat has found a new home. Thank all of you for reading and commenting on the coat.
I am still taking orders for the Browncoats, and am working on several other projects as well...there's a thread up regarding the Zoe vest, and Kaylee's jacket is coming along wonderfully. After that, I'll be tackling Zoe's long coat as seen in several episodes, as well as an Independent Soldier coat. After that, who knows?

Greetings, all.
I took a Browncoat with me to DragonCon with the intention of selling it there, but my trip was cut short, and I did not have the chance to do so. It was built to fit a 6'1", 190lb individual with a 44-46" chest. This does not mean that is the only type of person it will fit. These coats are flowy, so this particular one should fit a wide variety of people.
Asking price is $300.00 plus shipping. Email me at tristan71@cableone.net for details, or check out the other Browncoat For Sale thread...that's where I originally posted. I can still make these to order, as well.
Thank you.

*bump*
As of today, the coat is still available. If you haven't seen what they look like, check here:

Many shiny photos of the coat. This is the coat I was supposed to sell at DragonCon, but due to unforseen circumstances, was unable to do so.
Email me at tristan71@cableone.net for more details.

Also, I will be working on developing a Zoe vest as well as possibly Kaylee's blue-green jacket from the pilot episode. I am an ex-theatrical costumer, and I am interested in doing almost anything Firefly-related. Email me if you have something in mind, and we can talk about it!

Tristan, I hope you get some interest.

Hey all, I've got a shiny Tristan Browncoat. It is pretty much my favorite thing ever, I cannot wait for cooler weather so I can wear it. So very worth the money and much better than Abbyshot.

Hey Tristan,
Sure wish I didn't live in Florida, where I'd have 2 days to be able to use it :(

FireFlyGal, I be able to work on a lighter-weight Browncoat for those in hotter climes! I may have to look into building a lighter one for myself...Alabama can get warm!

Wish I had $300. I'd take it in a heartbeat. Oh well. Good luck selling the coat. It looks great. Do you have a monthly installment plan? ;)

I'm on the installment plan! So far I have the buckles and cuffs which Tristan has kindly made for me. As soon as I get myself a job I'll be saving up for the rest of the coat! Tristan's coats rock and my life will not be complete until I have the genuine article!

If only I was 6' 1" and living in a country with a rather poor exchange rate... well, if I'm saving up to come to the USA to meet all my browncoat friends I probably can't afford one anyway!

That looks wonderful Tristan!

Well, Magda...you could always move to the States...and wear platform shoes, maybe?

Thank you for the compliment!

Figured I might as well bump this. The coat is still available. tristan71@cableone.net

I've been a bit busy lately with domestic issues, but starting next week, I'll be 'back in the saddle'. I'm currently playing with a Zoe vest pattern, and the Kaylee jacket is next...I'm having a time finding the right cloth for that, though...if anyone has any idea, let me know! I have also decided to try my hand at the Independent soldier coat, which also falls in line with Zoe's long coat (from the Trainjob episode, but seen in others).

I'm also entertaining the idea of taking commissions on other clothing from the 'Verse. Drop me a line if you have something in mind!

Sweet looking coat man... and way to show that independant spirit. I just bought a Blue Sun shirt from bluesunshirts.com to show my support even though they're being shut down next week. Too bad I don't have the $300 clams to buy one of these beauties.

That's the problem with us independants.... most of us are jus workin for food. I'll have to hit you up when I got the dough.

Good luck to you... may you find that happy place between a lucrative hobby that you can enjoy for many years to come and becomming so big that you're another helpless deer caught in the headlights of the "Network Who Shall Not Be Named"

TRISTAN

Thank you all for the bumps and comments!

6ixStringJack, I understand about the survival part...that's why I decided to offer my coats for sale. The other leather ones on the market are a lot more expensive...but like $200 at least. I thought by offering a decent, less-expensive alternative, I could make some Browncoats happy.

I do plan on offering other items of Firefly clothing in the near future, but I'd like to stay far enough under the radar that they won't find me...I would really rather 'advertise' by word of mouth than by setting up a site. That would keep order numbers reasonable, and give me more time to develop more stuff!

Thank you for you encouragement!

I did post about this on the female browncoat page but it bears repeating.

I'm an actual customer of Tristan and his browncoat is just so pretty. And well made. And comfortable. And... well, quality just drips from it. It's a wonderful coat and the build quality means if you treat it right, it'll last you for years. It's like a Firefly in that respect.

Thank you, SimonWho! It always makes me feel good to hear a happy customer! You have made my week!
