So the question is really this.... would you buy this entire JS costume for $150

(shipping for me was only $6)

Would you buy the entire costume - only to keep the coat? Given what coats cost these days - even for a CB one.

Look at how this coat wears in real life:

Not bad I say... could be modded and you could do a lot worse.

hmmm not bad for the coat.... the rest seems like scraps.

Looks MUCH more better than the costumebase coat. The color looks great. But all the photos are too small to judge. Unfortunately I suspect it has no pleats on the back, like the costumebase coat. If it was sold separately I would go for it, but... Well, maby you could sell the rest of the stuff on ebay? Hmm...

So that is my costume thread, when I started the costume I didn't have a lot of money, alas I still don't. But am working bits at a time for a screen accurate costume. I'm actually making another one almost just like mine, a guy at the RenFaire offered me $1200 and some of that money will be used to make mine even better! As there are many things on mine I would like to add or change.

The coat is nice buttons need changing as they are plastic and not screen acurate, the vest it came with is horrible. I plan on doing a OST vest.
I was asked to post some pics of the coat, so here are some front and back...

[Mojo Turbo]

wow, so it's lined with buttons.... what do you think its made of? That came for $150?

I will check when I get home, it came with the coat the white pirate shirt, breaches, vest and sash. Also comes with two vinyl belts* and a Baldric*. (that are horrible*)
All for $150+ shipping.

looks pretty awesome to me!! loads better than the CB and others for the price!

[Captain McCool]

Wow, no kidding! And the material looks fantastic!

[Mojo Turbo]

yeesh, buy the coat for 150 and sell the extra parts back on ebay and your coat costs even less.... I think I might do it......

[LongJonSparrow]

Sadly I am not good at identifying material. And there is no tag. Its coarse feeling and like wovenish. Feels very realistic and not smooth.

I may do this, but only after someone else's lead

[Mojo Turbo]

I'm doing it right now....

[liarr]

Awesome! It looks like it has potential.

[Jodo]

Then I shall do it too...





But only after I see how your's goes. :p

[ocsparrow]

i forsee a lot of coated sparrows as well as many cheap sashes, breeches, vests, and shirts!

You could totally Mod that coat! Looking forward to the hi res close ups Mojo!

[Mojo Turbo]

why does everything have to be "hi-res" with you kids? Why can't you settle for good old fashioned mono? Or VHS?

I'm going to do this coat tutorial using Polaroids....or on 110 film.... or sketches!

Either way I look forward to it, because I have it but am pretty new to modding stuff, so I would love to make this one look better.

[Jack of All Trades]

Im actually thinking about it too. Is the coat heavy at all?

[Mojo Turbo]

I have not got it yet... mail isn't that fast.

[Jack of All Trades]

I was talking to longjon actually... seeing as how he has it in hand...

Not really, its a thicker material but weight wise its comfortable.
