The GotG2 Tokyo red carpet event turned out awesome - I got signatures from Bautista, Gunn and Pratt, who was sweet enough to say my costume was like looking in a mirror. My friend got a selfie shot, but sadly couldn't get any of me and Pratt, since autograph seekers kept shoving things in front of her camera. This was a much cooler experience than getting pics and autographs at Tokyo Comic Con, in its way. All in all, A plus, would put in for the lottery to do this again for the next Marvel event, in spite of my aching feet at the end. Also, wow, Bautista, all the cosplay fans around us were stunned by his physique.
Thanks for the shirt and Infinity stone, SoulInertia!
Jacket from BlackLeather - I wound up with a tent of a thing - it was perfect in the sleeve, but way long in the body, which is typical for a person who wants something to actually fit a girl with monkey arms and swimmer shoulders that will also close over a (bound) chest. I cut it down and redid the zipper to my sewing machine's protests, and started the aging process with washed down Fleischman's leather dye in brown. I also stitched down the side straps and closed the front pockets, since they were getting in the way and the pockets gaped open stupidly. Since the jacket has very nice deep interior pockets on both sides, it caused no issues.
