Posted about this once already, but I wanted to make sure everyone got a shot, so I'm posting once more. Last day to get in on this.
Staar Lord Maan and I are putting in an order for more screen accurate zippers for the Jacket and pants. The way interest has slowed down, I'm doubting they'll be another run.

I have one more screen accurate zipper left. The rest I have plans for, are for jacket commissions, or have been purchased. I will not be placing another order for one of these as it was a pain in the arse to order in the first place. Info is in this thread:

Good luck! And thanks!

Finally got my 3D printed boot rockets assembled and painted! Used Helagak's files I believe, had a friend do the parts printing. The spindles down near the bottom we didn't bother with for now, and the finishing work was not beautiful but I was trying to have them done by last weekend (fail!). Still, they look pretty good and will go nicely on the spats. Haven't decided yet if I'm going to use the mounting plates or just put the rockets right on the leather.

OK! Finally got my correctly-sized 2nd jacket from the Etsy seller TheJacketMaker.
My pictures here will link to the full-sized images, so that I don't take up so much pic space on the page here - I left the originals fairly large so you could see the details. (If you click these pics you'll go to imgur, and if you click those they'll zoom in)
First up, is this pic of me in the jacket (and my fun 'Starlord Coffee' shirt) - I'm no good at taking selfies.
And here is one with the Etsy jacket (right) as compared to the trading.plus Ebay jacket (left).
Things I noticed, beyond the obvious color and texture differences:
- The left jacket actually has pockets
- The left jacket gets the shape embossed above the zipper slide next to the collar right, where the etsy jacket just vaguely hints at it
- The right jacket seems to have used the same size arm-top flaps even with my smaller size, so the bicep strap and flap end are further down the arm than they would normally be. It's not quite enough to complain about, to me, but it's noticeable against pics of the actual jacket, and even against the ebay jacket.
- The right jacket's bicep strap is leather (more accurate), instead of the webbing on the ebay jacket
- Right jacket's arm flaps have the raised panels below the patch area, which is more accurate than not having them, but I'm not sure exactly how accurate the shapes are.
- Right jacket has a more squared shape to the shoulders, which is more accurate.
All in all, I am about 80% happy with it - it gets docked points for value-for-money and for the weird scaling on the arm details.

Hmm. In this pic and others I've seen of the hero jacket it looks like leather with stitching along the edges
Nope, not leather. The straps are elastic.

Then I suppose neither are correct, but that elastic looks so smooth I think the leather looks closer than the webbing =0)
Here's a couple close up shots.

Thanks Kevin!
So I guess my internal monologue is asking me if I should go ahead and replace the leather with elastic, as well as if I should get somebody good at sewing to fix up the arm flaps' length...
I also think I'm going to add snaps on the pants to attach holster pads and the rocket controls. Would make washing them infinitely easier, at least, and this is one costume I want to use several times.

Hey everyone! After bombarding you all with many, many questions it seems only fair to show you what my Star Lord cosplay ended up looking like. What do you think?
A couple new reference shots from the blu-ray behind the scenes:

Is that a valve on his back?
Yes, almost certainly the same type as on the jacket arm. (The vest has a valve with a lower profile.)

Not bad, but you're entirely too clean and bright! =0)
