Finished my jacket a few weeks back and wore it to a local convention. I forgot my watch that day unfortunately, but I did win the costume contest.

Looks great!!!
Are those for the arm expanses? I had an idea about keeping those from wrinkling in. Maybe the wiring from those collapsable windshield protectors or collapsable barrels could be repurposed to be put inside the arms of the jacket.
That or just the wire from metal hangers. Speaking of hangers, I always thought those plastic sock hangers or jewelry/accessory hangers would be a good idea to make the plastic part over the breast pockets.
Just some ideas I've had floating around my brain.

You need 4 peaks of each bellow per section, so one of those bellows will do two of the four joins.
For me, I would need at least D = 250mm or 10" and D1 = 225mm or 9" just for the shoulders and D = 200 or 8" and D1 = 175 or 7" for the elbows. The only other measurements are the wall thickness. The connection tubes could be what ever you wanted to make them. They would get cut off anyway.
When I decide to get back into making mine, I am probably going to make my own elliptical bellows so the sleeves sit a bit better.
