GBFE Style Jacket

Since I moved up north, the temps are far lower than I am used to. So I am VERY thankful for the coats in the new movie.

Now I am NOT dropping $2000 on a jacket, so I am modding one myself.

This is what I am starting off with.

The patches are from Katarra8’s ebay store.

I am having to hand sew everything, cause this is NOT gonna fit in my sewing machine.

I know I still got a lot more to do, but I am gonna take my time doing this. Dont wanna rush anything.

Very nice! I actually ordered the same one before seeing this topic! :smiley:

It’s a really good base coat for sure!

Used the hood for donor fabric to make belt loops.

Nice!! We ordered the same jackets too :lol: waiting for the patches to come in before modding. I think the pocket flaps on the bottom are black? I’ll have to double check

Nope. There is a black web belt around the waist. Why I added the belt loops.

^.^

Well what the heck is this thing?! I see the belt

Man this looks amazing! Awesome coat collection there! Congrats.

On the real and screen used coat, there is black webbing on the top right (left if looking at coat) pocket. Has loops to out pens and stuff on it. I added it to mine as well.

The black pistol belt sites just over the top of the bottom 2 pockets

The real Wuxly jacket has black retroreflective stripes at the very top but im pretty sure the costume dept have covered it in black webbing as well.

Yup! From what I can tell it was covered with more black wedding like I used.

Oh for sure, otherwise they would have had major issues filming.

Added a few more details including a wide back belt loop to help support the belt.

Would like to thank my hood for all the sacrifices it has made in the name of progress

Finally got my belt gizmo added to my belt.

(Forgot to re-add my LG2 before taking pics)

Have worn it out a few times now. Very helpful in the Chicago winter.

Callin it quits here.

I made the little front window pocket, but didnt like the outcome. So it had to go.

Ok…Finally stopped being lazy and added the black to the back of the coat as well
