As of right now, I'm 3/4 done with the coat.
I started with a old trenchcoat my friend had used on a Irvine (Final Fantasy 8 ) costume. So it was free!
First I cut off the sleeves at the elbow (please ignore our ugly apartment floor):
I sewed on the strap that holds the coat together in the back and the little sleeve buckles, then dyed the whole thing a few shades darker:
I had designed my mythosaur skull a little while ago, enlarged it up to 500%, cut out the pieces to make a template, then traced the template onto the same fabric I used for the kama.
I got some Innerfuse (stiff fuseable interfacing) and used the iron to fuse it to the orange fabric:
Then I cut out the pieces, arranged them correctly on the coat, and fused them in place with the iron. To get rid of the little bits of interfacing that were visible, and also to make it look a lot cooler, I then went around and embroidered a border around every piece.
I also embroidered the number 25 in Aurabesh on the back strap, and used a shoulder buckle from a pair of overalls so secure the strap.
Finally, I've added the shoulder armor by riveting it to the fabric.
I still have to make and embroider the collar tabs, do the weathering, And I'm debating putting the white fist logo somewhere along the bottom edge.
