And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those two the exact same outfit? I'm nervous about ordering from either if someone is image stealing.

It's not exactly a jacket you can pick up at any thirft store, unless you want to look like shit.

>>5177954
You are telling me you can't go out and buy a bombers jacket? Do you live in podunk nowhere?

>>5177968
Yeah, I see tons of bomber jackets with stars on the front, planes on the arm and giant '50's on the back.

>>5177976
So I'm assuming you were bad at arts and crafts as a child, because there is no reason you couldn't do that yourself.

Alright, you've already dug yourself in a deep shithole by disagreeing with /cgl/ here but as a fellow Hetalian I feel obligated to help you.

http://cosplaysky.com/axis-powers-hetalia-america-cosplay-uniform-costume.html

I've ordered the one I use from there. The costumes I've bought from here are exceptionally well-made and feel and look very authentic. The 'bomber jacket' however is shit, when you get the cosplay, throw that shit away.

Go to thrift stores, OP. Any thrift store nearby. You'll find one eventually. When you do, do your research (or, if you MUST, ask a friend to help you) and sew the symbols on it very very carefully.

Best of luck.

>>5178010
buy a simple bomber jacket, and you can add the rest on yourself really easy, you can by the patches for the star, and whatever method you chose for the rest (cut then sew on by hand or otherwise, or paint it)

not that hard, and will look a hell of a lot better than what you could buy if your not going to commission.

>>5178010
Just buy a normal bomber jacket and add the extra parts onto it, it'll work out so much cheaper and it's really not that much effort.

Also stop trying to argue with Smoker, it just...It just doesn't work like that.

Since this a general thread, how about cosplay fu? Reviews on coscom aren't bad, but then again, you got people on there who think Milanoo is the best thing ever.

I have a very good looking commissioned America cosplay here ... I'd be willing to sell it, I only tried it on one. What's your height and size? Would a european S fit you?

I've had good experiences with Cosplay Fu. Prompt shipping, cheap, customer service was nice. Bought a Miku wig from them for a friend, didn't get too close of a look of it but worn it looked good.

>>5178384
I really like Cosplayfu! I've had a few things from there- both costumes and wigs- and I loved them. I'm buying two more when my wage comes in, too!

However, DON'T BUY PROPS. I got one and it was the shittiest thing I've seen.

I looked at measurment charts and I'm assuming you mean a 36 or a 38? Could I see photos?

It looks like I'd be around a 40, and I'm 5'7. I could have it tailored though, couldn't I?

>>5177935
What a coincidence OP, I'll be doing an America cosplay in January.
I really didn't want to get a costume if I could find a real military uniform, so on the advice of another America cosplayer I decided I would go with this http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/new-belgian-military-summer-dress-uniform-khaki.aspx?a=868486.

>>5178758
>>5178465
Whoa, thanks for pointing me in that direction, guys. Not only does it look perfect, they give you a huge discount if you buy everything for the cosplay as a set, it's 46% off and the shipping is free!

>>5178864
Holy fuck, it's $20.

I'm suddenly inspired to make my own bomber jacket.

>>5178881
Would you like the link to the bomber I was going to use as well?

>>5178904
Yes, please!

>>5178912
http://www.target.com/p/Xhilaration-Bomber-Jacket-Assorted-Colors/-/A-13519911 This is on sale for $15 (it was $35 3 days ago) So I'm just gonna add the details myself.

Feel bad asking, but since this thread is up and it is hetalia related, where can I find a proper red army overcoat like Russia's? I've been searching abit, and to weary on what to look for, would I just go for a regular overcoat pattern, and just modify it to what I need? Or would there be an actual one close to what he wears?

>>5179056
Oh gosh, I wish I did know somewhere you could find a red army overcoat, or even a basic coat that could be modified, but I found mine in a secondhand shop :c As far as modifiable patterns go, may I suggest this one? http://www.simplicity.com/p-1539-misses-men-costumes.aspx I was originally going to use this myself actually.

>>5179191
asdfa, thank you! Now I can't wait till christmas lol

Also, I did find this site, but I'm not entirely sure which would work. http://www.frontofrussia.com/army.html

OP I hate to break it to you, but if you are really anal about accuracy the only way to get it is to make your own costume. (I wouldn't even trust a commissioner honestly.) Altering can work to a degree, but things with pockets can pose a problem because you don't have extra material to make into pockets. Good luck!

>>5179209
Out of all of them I think Listing 104A on page 3 would be the best; but honestly that's just my opinion.

>>5179229
Awesome, I'll start messing around, with both the pattern and probably the listing as well.
