Uhg, I hate myself for asking for help as a first post here instead of giving it. I feel like I just walked into a room and stuck my hand out but here goes...
After years of putting it off I've finally decided to dive into making a Cobra Commander costume from the 80s cartoon.
Unfortunately I immediately hit a...roadblock.
I thought the jacket would be easy - a standard blue blazer. Alas, it's not. After looking over the source material it looks like it has the cut of a peacoat but without the waist or weight.
I've seen a number of threads here that talked about making it by hand and they look incredible. Sadly, I'm no seamstress...seamster...guy-sewer(?) so making it from scratch is out of the question.
And I tried looking online for a costume to...er...kit bash(?) and while I came across a number of names from cosplaymagic to cosplaysky I don't know if they are legit.
If anyone here has any thoughts on where to start with this I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks.
