Making the First Coat.

Fantastic.

Keep us informed PLEASE.

Some pictures of folks working on it.

And, uh, not working on it.

Also, goofing off in it.

...Yeah.

No, no. We were not goofing off. We were experimenting with taking Dogs live. I mean, when Holly hoisted me up, she was clearly an aggressive farmwife who had escalated to fighting. And the various poses were clearly meant to show how you could call a coat to give you dice in verbal conflicts, like when trying to intimidate someone by convincing them that you're bloody well off your rocker and you have a gun so maybe everyone should just listen to you in case you go off the deep end....

Silly boy.

Hahaha.  Ever thought of selling the first coat on eBay?  Mayhaps a rabid dogs fan would want to snap it up.

Of course, you may have to run it by Vincent.   Then again, he may be first in line... ;)

Gorgeous!

From a game perspective, I just have to know why the oak-leaf motif is on this particular Dog's coat.  (I know the real reason, it was on the cheap quilt :) ) but it immediately raises a question in the viewer -- what do oak leaves mean to this man, what makes them a part of his story?  Are they there just because his surname is Oakley?  Is he the recipient of a donor coat made by the ladies sewing circle of Oak Grove?  (And if he is, what happens when he winds up called to deal with the sins in Oak Grove?  "She sewed my Dog coat" 1d4 is a great relationship to take with one of the town's major NPCs as fallout...)

Granted, this is sort of treating Dogs like Everway, by basing character creation on an image, but visual aids sure are handy...

That's not too shabby, considering it's your first effort. Something with a little bit more earth-tones and a duster cut rather than that high-neck pirates coat would look better, but this is not at all anything to be ashamed of. Add a gun, a wide-brimmed hat and a big ol' book, and I think you'd have yourself a pretty respectable looking Dog.

I disagree.  A traditional Dogs Coat should be colorful.  Bright, flashy, something that says "I am set apart" from all the folks in the browns and blacks and pastels.

Coat edging is done.  As I type this, the coat is soaking in a bathtub.

A bathtub full of tea.

(Coffee grounds might work into the fabric, we realized).

Yeah, tea is good for taking the brightness out of things.  I used it on a pair of new lace gloves to get the bright white starchy "new" look out.
