New pic of his TLJ jacket from the EW cover, with a few noticeable nuances. This picture makes it look more like waxed cotton (though I'm currently looking forward to one in leather).

Yes, I'm pretty convinced this is a cotton jacket with some kind of coating. Regardless, we'll offer both versions on our site.
It's looking good man! I'm currently working on getting the jacket and making the boots myself. How'd you get the belt?ere are some updates to my Poe build. The shirt is the smuggler style Han Solo ESB shirt in a tea-dyed cotton broad cloth. The trousers are a military style utility trouser with patch pockets, knee darts, and reinforced knee-backs. I had to search through countless bolts of fabric until I found this olive brown twill that i felt was a close match to the screen worn trousers.
The boots are the Po-Zu Well 2 boots in black.

The jacket is in progress. I was unable to find a commercially available waxed cotton that matched in color/weight. So I decided to wax my own. I used a brown pima cotton waxed with Otter wax.

Oh nice! So custom made. I'm thinking of going to a thrift shop and just buying a belt, hopefully that matches the holster's color. Then just change the buckle.The belt is just a brown belt that I use with several costumes. I will likely make a new one to color match to the holster. The buckle is just a 2" rectangular blank from Tandy.
I legit got the same exact pants [emoji23] I was going to post about them, but I just got home from Thanksgiving. I found them in the clearance section for $11 and they had 50% the whole store because of Black Friday. Last one my size luckily. I feel they're a little wide, but with boots they honestly should be fine. Plus the waist has a little adjuster that you can make the pants tighter. Also peep the Star Wars shirt [emoji57]Just fyi, some 'close enough' brown pants from Old Navy are on sale for $18 today. I got some a while back and they work great, and I bought second pair just now.

I've been hunting for the jacket patch over here myself. Curious where you got yours.

Here are some new pics with the completed jacket.

As I stated previously, the jacket is a brown mid-weight cotton that I waxed. I waxed the individual pieces ahead of construction to ensure an even coating, and as to not ruin the lining. I 3d modeled the hook and eye closures and had them printed.

This looks great! I really like how you captured the color of the jacket almost exactly alike. At some times it looks brown and others black just like it's seen in the trailer. Also, for the holster, do you have a template you used? I'm trying to find one but I just can't seem to find any.

Thats good to know. Good thing I have some spare wax to darken my jackrt if I get it too light. Alright, cool thanks!Thanks, the trick on the jacket was actually the waxing. It substantially darkens the brown to almost black in the shadows, but the brown really shows in the light.
I just kind of free handed the holster in 2mm craft foam before cutting it in leather. I'll see if I hung on to the template and take some snaps.
