OMG. I was super excited yesterday XD
I went to a Ren fair and one of the guys I was hanging with (a friend of a friend) was also a fan of Green Rider. It was amazing. He ended up helping me hunt around fair for a green coat - my garb was 1/2 Green Rider, I was just missing the broach and the coat, but I had the tunic (minus the gold trim, but that's super easy to add), pants, belt, boots and message satchel. I actually have a makeshift paper broach, but I didn't wear it to fair
xp
I found an AMAZING greatcoat, but it was in black
gonk
Once I get a coat I'll worry about getting an official broach and a saber (my parents would kill me if I brought a real saber home <.< It might have to wait until I get my own place... But the outfit would work even without a saber, it's just be extra cool with it)
edit: Look at this greatcoat. I want
gonk They have it in green on their website, but it's double the price than the black one was at fair. No way in hell I'm paying that for it, but I can dream:
Great Coat of LOVE. It's made of actual wool too, like the kind of fabric and quality you'd expect Karigan's winter coat to be made from. *cries* I need to win the lotto
gonk
Oh well. If I can find a cheap green coat I can tailor it to actually be as exact to the Green Rider's as possible (or to the appearance of it on the book covers anyway). Even if I got that greatcoat at $300 I wouldn't want to make any alterations to it <.< Its too expensive to play around with like that and its a beautiful coat on its own anyway
