Martin,
Sorry mate. And I regret it has to be me to tell you...it looks terrible! Look, I'll help you out by taking it off your hands for nothing....! Do we have an accord??

You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly.....

Martin,

I've two questions regarding your coat:

- where did you order it?
- which size did you order?

Thanks a lot ...

[Mondas42]

Hi

It's a coat from JackSparrowCostumes.com

http://www.jacksparrowcostumes.com/realistic-caribbean-pirate-captain-costume.html

Standard size but I have added more accurate buttons from Simon Newton and then distressed the heck out of it. You will also need to close two of the 'vents' in the back. I also tidied up the cuffs on it. I am planning on adding Khaki Dirty Down Spray to the lining as Jacks coat has a bottle green lining.

Thank you very much.

[Mondas42]

Made a few alterations to my Anna Marie belt, shortened it a wee but and added a black smudge to the end. Also shortened the cord on my compass. Quick photo (with only the one belt on)

[Banditxx1]

Great work. And I like the weathering of your shirt! Awesome result.

[Blade Savvy]

Martin,

Did you manage to get the coat by itself or did you have to get the whole costume?

Cheers.

[Mondas42]

No the coat come with the entire costume....BUT for the money you spend all of the cost seems to have gone on the coat. Nothing from the rest of the costume is usable in my mind. The Breeches are totally wrong, and the buttons on the ones I got fell of within seconds. The belts are cheap plastic and have the wrong buckles. The sash is laughable. the shirt is passable and the waistcoat.....isn't too bad. Wrong buttons, wrong back but with some work may be OK. As I said, all the money seems to have been spent on the coat. That said to bring it up to standard, you will need to replace the buttons, close two of the rear vents, weather it and distress it.

Photoshop loveliness

Now there's an avatar!!

[FleetStreetNightmare]

oooh that last photo is really awesome! Well done

[Mondas42]

Cheers FSN, it's amazing what a little photoshopping can do!  

[Mondas42]

The and now!

Just to show what my costume started out as and what it is now. Plus how much weight I've lost!

[Blade Savvy]

AWEsome Martin.    And the costume is pretty good too...  Wish I could find the time to sort mine all in a one-r!

Which Baldric are you using? And what is the weight loss secret???

[Mondas42]

Cheers buddy

Baldric is a empire one and very nice it is too. Came with a free sash. Secret to weight loss.......Er eat less, move more! That's sorta it.

When are we going to see your costume buddy? Come on, don't be shy  

[Blade Savvy]

   the Mondas Plan...like it! I have been badgered by others too for pics, but there are reasons (nothing sinister!). Maybe soon.  

[Mondas42]

Ok, nothing to do with my Jack costume but I thought I'd show you some of my other costumes:-

Stormtrooper



Biker Scout



Officer



Jedi



Battlestar Galactica pilot - classic series

[Banditxx1]

WOW!!!! That's awesome! I like the stormtrooper and the Galactica-pilot!

Unbelievable that you have all these great costumes. Each of these costumes seem to be very screen accurate. Impressive.... most impressive Master Jedi...!

[Captain Jack Sparrow 478]

Very impressive!!! Well done!   

[Blade Savvy]

I bow to your superior SA-ness! Awesome Martin, truly.

[Blade Savvy]

You won't need it but good luck Martin.
