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.
