Ezra Bridger Jacket

[TinkerTaylor97]

Hi all, I'm planning my second costume for celebration next year ( The other being my completed ROTJ Boba Fett) and I've decided on doing Ezra from season 3/4 of Rebels. The part I've been finding most difficult is identifying what type of fabric I should use to make his jacket. Due to the animation lacking in texture I've been basing my costume off of fan art and the Gentle Giant Bust as shown below;

The Bust has the jacket being made of a material with a visible weave. I've tried looking around but can't seem to come across anything close enough, so was wondering if anyone could help with some suggestions?

I can't say for certain but 1000 Dernier Cordura could be a good match. I remember back in 2016 when the RL was trying to create their standard for the TFA X-Wing pilot it was on their list of possible materials for the flightsuits. But the weave seems like at least a good starting point at least for an idealized jacket.

Thank you so much, I'm going to get a sample to see if it'll be appropriate. The jacket is so difficult to figure out due to the animation style, but hopefully I can make something that looks close enough and works for what would be practical for live action.

Don't get me started on the dl-44 lol. I have looked at getting a metal airsoft one here in the UK and modding it to get it close enough to the screen version

That looks "ribbed" like a thermal shirt, but more like corduroy... Maybe a ribbed duck or something similar to denim?

I think your best bet is to find a corduroy jacket or overshirt and modify it.
