The pants are incredible. Did you make a pattern overall? Just go at each part? Can you share any construction tips or show any in-progress pics? They look terrific!!!

Hey Risu, I originally thought that a set of motorcycle touring boots would do the trick, but once I got a pair and attempted to walk around in them...well...they were all wrong. Got any hints on what kind of boot to affix my Sketcher soles onto? (also, if this had been addressed, sorry bout that...still reading from the bottom of the thread to the top)
Thanks guys.: )
I didn't do a pattern from scratch but took a pair of old combat pants that fit well and cut them up with a seam-splitter. Then I traced the basic shape onto pattern paper and just drew out all the different panels of the pants. (I did something similar with the jacket. I used an old blazer as a base, drew the jacket panels onto it with a marker, then cut it up and transferred to pattern paper. I then modified as I went along and created test-pieces on cheap fabric. I'll be doing the same with the trenchcoat; drawing Star Lord's pattern onto an old one as a base. That way you don't have to deal with the really difficult parts, like getting the armhole seams right.
A few pieces, like the zipper flap, pockets and such I kinda just winged it. I kept my ipad open at all times with reference. The pocket pleats were done on scrap fabric first, to make sure I could. I went back and redid things a lot. (Must've made 3-4 different zipper flaps! It's made out of a different fabric that the surrounding panels so if you get it wrong it just looks... obscene, haha.) There were some details that I didn't notice until very late in the build, so I had to go back, take them apart here and there and change. For instance, in most shots the inside of the legs look like they contain one type of fabric, but they do in fact contain two.
There are still a couple things that are inaccurate that I'm not going to bother changing since they're not really that evident unless you've been staring at photos like crazy. The knee folds were a major pain and mine ended up a tad too thin but I can live with that. Tip: connect them inside with some elastic and they will keep their shape when you flex your legs! There's a panel hidden under the belt and jacket that I didn't get exactly right but that I didn't notice until I was ready to attach the leather pads- fixing it would have meant a major redo of the entire waist, including dying more corduroy. I'm usually a stickler for accuracy but there's a cutoff point where it isn't reasonable.
All in all I figured the pants would be a lot easier than the jacket and to some extent they were. Canvas and denim are rather forgiving when you have to redo things, unlike the jacket fabric and leather which I didn't have any extra material for and would have had to go back to square one.

This is what I did for the "boots". I used a black pair of half chaps that hug the leg as the " boot " then added the brown spat on top. The skecher is the base shoe.

I was gonna get these in a month or two to attach spats to and use as a base for my boots. Saw them earlier in this thread.

Any reason anyone can think of that these wouldn't work?

The only issue I could see is flexibility.
They'll also be short

Ah you're right, they would be short. Was expecting them to come up to just below the knee. The chaps I got (same as the ones that starlordquill used in his photos, actually) were just too tall on me (kept hitting the back of my knee when I'd go up stairs, in a painful way).

Has anyone here gotten a Star Lord jacket from
The Jacket Maker? I ordered one but they sent me
A large instead of a small. Anyone else have this
Issue? The jacket is gorgeous, really well made and
The color is spectacular, just too big. I'm waiting
On a response for an exchange.

YouTuber Stuart Edge had me make him some costume pieces for his new Guardians of the Galaxy themed video. I made the boots, the belt, modified the pants to look closer to the movie, and helped him pick the shirt and jacket. It also features an accurate walkman and headphones!
Nice! That was fun. That patch tho

That was a fun video. It looks like his
Jacket fits about the same as mine.
The patch is not good at all lol.
I even asked them to leave it off
And they still put it on.

Hi guys, just for saying that I finished the cassettes. I decided to work on the design in illustrator and recreate the 2 cassettes seen in the movie . I have weathered the vol1 by hand! Let me know what you think
