The Definitive Peter Quill/Star-Lord Costume Thread

The right side placket is left open exposing the lining without the zipper installed. I would wait to wear it

Ok, that's fine. A little disappointing since I'll have to wait for a zipper run. But I still have a "slim fit" jacket from ebay I can wear while waiting for the next one.

@Bellthazor
You'll be getting the pants first, right? Very excited to hear about it.

Hey Everyone ( @Taff83 @MrSouthpaw @justanuthercap ), So got the pants in and below are the pics. If there are any additional pics or redo's of the ones below you want to see just let me know and I will post.

Sorry in advance if I did not explain clearly, I have never really provided a review and am a bit new at this.

The total cost of the pants were $93.00 from Aliexpress (will post a link to the seller in a few). They offer the full costume, but I sent them a PM and they had me purchase and adjusted the cost before I paid. The total costume (shirt, pants, jacket, belt (belt looked very cheap) was going for $259.00.

Here are the front of the pants. The details is not to bad for the price of the pants. The pants feel almost like a pair of dickies pants that were just modified. They are pretty comfortable and not to thick (good if you at a convention in the middle of summer ) )


the front flap


Side details - So, yes these have belt loops...lol.


Where the pocket should close, those metal details are just that detail and do not function (see next image of bottom side of the non-snaps), meaning they are not snaps so if you want them to stay closed you will either have to sew it closed or use a magnet on the inside.


Right side details


The clip to the pocket was inside the pocket....not really functional. It completely vertical and only 2" deep.


Here is the knee. This is a single piece of cloth sewn onto the knee and folder over to give it the multi layer look (see next pic, I flipped up one of the folds)


You may have to ensure that you periodically iron to keep it looking good or stitch it somehow (suggestions on this on?)


This is the small flap on the inner thigh, and again this does not snap closed, just there for looks.

flipped up the flap.


Full shot of the back of the pants.


Back of the leg, they added the zipper which is non-functioning (one on both sides).


This is the lower back of the leg from the knee down.


Here is the boot rocket controls, and I'm 99% sure that no one will want to keep these, so you may want to see if they can exclude these on your pants. I thought they would be a quick removal with a seam ripper, but the metal stud is going to be a bit more difficult and will leave a small hole. I'm hoping my rocket controls from the nova props will cover up the two holes.

Good post. Nice pics too.

Were they custom sized? Would you say they are tight, average, or relaxed fit? Can you move easy or is there restriction?

You say the cloth is not too thick. Is it still thick enough that it feels sturdy? How about the stitching, feels strong?

I am surprised they left the pocket tabs loose. I wonder if they can source magnet snaps and install them for me.

Overall, I like them. Very nice, and especially for the price. I'll definitely be buying a pair. Thanks for the review.

@MrSouthpaw

- Yes they were custom sized (Measurements: waist, hips, inseam, waist to ankles)

- comfortable fit (average)

- The pants and stitching are very solid, I don't think you have to worry about these coming apart on you.

- I am going to glue some earth magnets onto the pants, and if that does not work, I might just have stitch the tabs on the front seam of the tab.

Hope this answers your questions

Also, here is a link to the seller:

@Bellthazar

Thanks for the reply. Exactly what i wanted to know. I will be buying through ebay though. The pants are on there for $65 now.

I know there is a someone selling the leather holster pads....anyone know where it is? I may have missed it going through the 195 pages of this thread...lol

Bellthazor

Holster pads. I don't know if the run is still going. You'll need to contact the seller and ask.

Etsy might have some as well.

.....Thanks for the Pictures...the pants look pretty solid....and a lot cheaper than the other guys..S''''....will order some without rocket controls and add my own that I already had made....

When I order mine, I'm gonna have them leave those "controls" off too. I'm also gonna see if they can adjust a few things here and there.

That vertical strip on the back of the leg, above the horizontal lines. I remember it being a lot lighter than the surrounding material.

@Bellthazor

I was wondering. What color are the pants in person? Are they black? That's how they look in the pictures.

That strip should be the same grey elastic on the front of the pants and on the jacket

I doubt they'll be able to source that. I'll just ask them to make it a nice medium grey or something. I don't know where the grey elastic is on the front of the pants.

I'm also tempted to see about some slightly different cloth colors. I know the actual pants are not solid black. Which I'm ultimately fine with, but it doesn't hurt asking.

It's actually not elastic, it's a thick belting. I've never been able to find it, though.

Well, whichever it is. I'm still not sure where it's located on the front of the pants.

Also, some concept art from Gunn's twitter account showing Star-Lord in that chest-rig.

It comes out of the pockets of I remember correctly. Just a small loop.

Oh, I see it. Just under the corner of the pocket. I see they are on the ebay pants too. I'll have to mention those as well.

Yes, they are solid black.

I received my pair and made a start modding them, still a lot to do but I feel these can be pretty decent without making a pair from scratch

Changes look great!

Where did you get the buttons and the gray straps if you don't mind sharing.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Buttons were from an old Starlord jacket I found on eBay. The gray webbing was also on eBay.

The controllers I got from Soulinertia - they are fantastic!

I've had all this in a box for a very long time with the idea of sewing up a pair of Starlord pants.

The back zippers I got from Therpf.
