STEP THREE:.... uh....

I dont think I am going to weather it this close to Halloween. If I screw it up, I won't forgive myself. Better to wait... so I think I am done. This will be the first year as Jack with a Frock coat, Swagarts Fid, ACME sash and I redyed my pants for the bazillionth time.

capt.J.j.sparrow Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:01 pm

I was given the okay by my fiance to buy the suit, but a couple of questions came to mind in regards to selling the rest. 1.) Since it won't arrive til after Halloween what are the chances someone will want to buy it? 2.) Should I offer some of my old swag to sweeten the deal (i.e. beard braids, Zf)? 3.) Do i offer my old coat with it? 4.) How much do I sell it for?

p.s. she already bought it......

Mojo Turbo Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:16 am

people DO buy Jack stuff year round, but you'll get way more for it the closer it gets to Halloween. I "sweetened the deal" on mine by offering a Mom's head with it. But i'd probably keep the auction to "new" items if you can.

and sell "old stuff" as a second auction.

imo

went out for a pre-Halloween trick or treat event and dawned the coat when it got cold. Everything looked great, but sadly my beard fell off before it even started.

Bought it and I love it! Modding it right now.... and I'm using the shirt as my new Jack shirt.

Mojo Turbo Sat Nov 05, 2011 7:28 am

yea the shirt is pretty decent as well, I just couldn't get behind the deep "v"

Jack's shirt has a deep v. What do you wear?

Mojo Turbo Sat Nov 05, 2011 10:58 am

yea it does, but I don't have the man chest to pull it off... my shirt is a CB and the "v" is not so pronounced. But I do wish it had puffier sleeves.

capt.J.j.sparrow Sat Nov 05, 2011 2:08 pm

I was really impressed with the entire costume..... well except for the sash and belts.... now off to weather my new shirt, the sleeves on my frock are awesome though!

rockstarpirate90 Sat Nov 05, 2011 3:59 pm

The pauliepoos shirts also comes whit a "deep V" I bought this costume also the coat is ok for it's price it needs new buttons and maybe new pocket flaps the shirt is fine although it is a very thin material , the pants , one word CRAP , sash and belts are junk as well

Mojo Turbo Sun Nov 06, 2011 1:43 pm

yea the pants have no waist to speak of, fell right of me body....

liarr Sun Nov 06, 2011 1:53 pm

most of the historical costumers I showed the costume to were impressed by the entire thing. You may say the pants were crap, but thats what and how breeches are. The costumebase ones, i'm not sure how those fit normal people

rockstarpirate90 Sun Nov 06, 2011 2:37 pm

for me the CB pants fits perfect , but I wasn't talking about the fitting of the pants it's just a thin material when I tried it on the buttons popped right of and I was afraid what would have happened if I was going to sit haha .
on the other hand the waistcoat is not that bad also only the pattern is not right for me I work out alot so I don't have the lats like a normal person has Embarassed

capt.J.j.sparrow Sun Nov 06, 2011 3:09 pm

I'm in a debate over weather I want to keep my CB breeches or fix up the other ones, neither one fits my waist, I wear suspenders under my waistcoat but I hate fighting with them when they fall. The waistcoat is okay but, I decided to keep my painted OST waistcoat becuz I dont feel like changing my stuff back to AWE.

Mojo Turbo Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:59 pm

if I go forward, I'd totally buy CB again (but this time the gray ones), my CB's are one of the best things I bought for this bad boy.

Im 5'9" with a 45" chest, do you think this coat would fit a guy of my stature ? Im not fat by any means, lol. Just stocky. I couldnt even fit my legs into. Large sized cb breeches. heave ho greek ancestors lol

capt.J.j.sparrow Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:12 pm

Well I'm 5'10'' and 175lbs and it fits me fine. I don't know my chest size but if you want it that bad and dont think the Standard will fit you then I'd buy the XL and just bring it in to fit you.

I'm 5'9 and, 38 inch chest. I had to bring the shoulders in, you should fit fine.

rockstarpirate90 Sun Nov 06, 2011 11:13 pm

I have a chest size 44 and the standard coat fits great

capt.J.j.sparrow Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:55 am

aren't we all so lucky to have dear Mojo be the guinea pig for all of us who now have frocks to warm our backs? wave

It would be great to see some pics of a modificated Coat.
liarrs looked very good and i'm curious to see how it looks right now.

capt.J.j.sparrow Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:07 pm

Thank You.
Looks really jackish ;-)

Captain McCool Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:54 pm

I honestly think I might have to get me one of those. There was a guy in the St. Paddy's Day parade here in Denver with one, and it looked FANTASTIC, even close up.

JayRocks Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:56 pm

Was his coat moddedas well?
