Does anyone know of a place I could buy at least a decently accurate Kylo Ren costume (minus the helmet)?

It seems like they only did them as a one off. Do they have pricing somewhere? Maybe I overlooked it. I'm hoping to keep it under $200, but I'm starting to think I might be better off making it myself to keep it in that range.
Some of the sellers on ebay seem to be doing OK work. It's always a gamble there, but some of them look surprisingly good for the price range.

However, I will say that after doing a bit of research, I've also decided to make mine rather than buying it. With the heavy weave of the fabric, it should hide the flaws.

Too bad I'll have to learn to sow. Lol. Luckily I'm a perfectionist and very patient.

Costume base is selling a good replica, it needs work but its a very good option as a base for further mods, much like the black series helmet.

Depending on what your budget/endgoal is (ie fun vs. 501st) I'm quite happy with the updated one I received from Xcoser, check them out

I bought the x coser under tunic and the costume base, a little more pricey, but the size of the pleats on the sleeves from xcoser are slightly more screen accurate I think. The xcoser tunic is also fully pleated whereas from what I've gather costume base only pleats the sleeves. Either site has a great full costume if you are just doing cosplay ( c can't believe I said " just" doing cosplay).
Just a heads up, you won't be able to buy or make an accurate Kylo costume for $200. Fabric alone will cost at least 3 times that

The Xcoser one looks really great. You don't think that one is accurate?
No commercially made costume is accurate in the least. The xcoser pleated tunic is just about the only good piece, but you'll need to have the collar removed and get the sleeves tailored to you. Add extra length to the sleeves as well so they sit properly.

Depends how accurate you want to make it. I ordered just the under tunic. They run small so get a size or two bigger. I originally ordered a medium. I was well with in the measurements on the table. They exchanged it for a large no problem.as far as the under tunic
1. Remove collar
2. Sleeves should be recessed
3. Sleeves should be form fitting. Length should be to base of thumb.
4. Sleeves should have hidden zippers with piping
5. The seams should be piped with the exception of the bottom.
6. Quality is good over all
As far as the outer tunic
1 the fabric is off
2 the hood is too small
3 the belt is cheaply done.
They have been making changes based off people's input. I believe they are on V3 right now. I am sure more people can help as I am still researching his tunics myself.

I cant figure out if I want to get the xcoser one or costumebase. I hear xcoser doesnt work well with the black series helmet and ive heard the same about the costumebase version as well.
then what helmet will it work with>? I believe annovos and bs are the same dimensions?
