Military leather coats
Aug. 24th, 2011 11:46 amHave received latest pepperberry (bravissimo clothes) catalog
Found leather jacket that looks almost like the imaginary uniforms of my imaginary spaceship captains. Only shorter and with fake buttons and a zip, instead of the buttons doing a job. Although in the future they've probably invented something even more useful than zips and velcro and don't need buttons, but you never know.
Since shorter with fake buttons and a zip, and extra curvy, isn't precisely like, then it is Not The Coat.
... and yet I'm tempted to buy it. Even though I don't buy leather. And even though if I did buy leather I would not buy leather with polyester inserts.
ETA: Got bored. This 'military gothic' coat has the front panels more like in my head, but not enough buttons, and not very nice buttons. The proportions are just a bit off the thing in my head. This 'revolutionary' coat has better buttons and an awesome tailcoat thing going on. Better length. Most ranks would look more like this Raven red and black because red is for officer and they add black to be more senior than you. So only the Captain has a nice solid black coat. My Captain spends most of her time wearing the bit armoured layer of uniform, nobody else does thus far. My Captain is about 5'2" and feeling insecure. Putting her in a floor length coat really wouldn't help though. The Raven is pretty much what I'm thinking on actually, except the strap of uselessness in the back, the pockets and some of the sleeve details. But the collar is more like this, because serious armour has serious elvis about the neck. No, really, I did the looking things up.
and, yes, none of this is actually finishing my 50K
