Guardians of the Galaxy Chris Pratt Star-Lord Costume Build (pic heavy)

Hey, I was doing the same thing and saw your post. I actually ordered a coat from fjackets and it just came today. I'm very happy with it. Real leather, nice fit and completely comfortable.
Just an FYI, I've been doing costumes for about 10 years, so I'm no newbie. Just thought that might help with your decision.
Have a good one.
Below are pics of my "budget helmet". I'd like to spend more on it, but I'm waiting to see if the movie does well enough to pump in more money.
The light for the eyes are $1.00 party bracelets from Walmart in the kids section.

This is exactly what I needed to see! I'm currently planning a costume based more on the '08 comics, but I've been having a hard time finding any helmet builds or unfolds.

Great job on the helmet! could you put up some pics of your jacket?

Jacket down, lots more to go.

I found success with searching "half chaps" on ebay for the boot covers in case you were looking.

Here's my slow build.

I only have this one for right now. I'm keeping the whole costume a secret for an upcoming Con. I host the costume contest and like to come out in stuff no one has seen me in.
The gun is two squirt guns I found at Walmart, cut a handle off, jammed it in the other one and bondo'd them together.
I'll try to get more pics up if needed.

Heck yeah post more pictures. It looks great from what I can see! The jacket looks the part too. Which site did you get that one from?
 
Jacket was from fjackets.com. Pretty fast shipping also. I was pretty happy. The only strange thing is it zips on the other side, which I've always been told is a sign for a woman's jacket. My wife said it was fine, she could easily tell it was a "guys jacket", but still...
I'll post some pics saturday as I'll be by my computer more by that time.

OK, here's some better photos with the jacket from fjackets.com (and my little Rocket Raccoon.)

I forgot to ask about how the jacket fits. The sizing from that site seems a touch off to me for some reason, and I'm right on the cusp of a large to XL. What size did you get, and how does it fit relative to your measurements? I'm a 45" chest, but only 5'6". The sizing says I should be a L, and that would be closer for my short stature, but with my intesive workout regime I'm worried I'll have to go to an XL.

Sorry to threadjack, but maybe the sizing info will help others as well.
 
I am 5'8", 210 pounds. I can wear a large in a shirt but glad I didn't get a large in this jacket. It fits really good. The sleeves are about an inch longer than I'd like, but that's probably my weird body. No way I could have gotten an large though.
 
DLTSchiller or burrmartin. What sizes did you end up getting and what was your chest sizes. I didn't want to get the jacket if it's too small or too big. I'm short and have the chest size of 36'.

Through who I ordered from it was tailored and fits perfectly. I sent them my measurements and pictures of the real jacket and about a month later my Jacket arrived in the mail. If you order from them you can't go wrong on size unless you measure yourself wrong. The website is http://cosplaysky.com , you will have to contact them about the custom order.

Loving the thread my friend, exciting stuff. But one question for everyone: What color do you guys think Peter Quill's main shirt is? It's either grey or a very light blue-grey, can't tell if this is all just from the lighting or the actual color of the shirt. Been going cross-eyed looking for a correct color match, as this seems like a custom shirt, color matching is the best I can hope for in the short-run.
