I love this coat. Just had to say it. It is so much fun to strut around in :)
This is my first real cosplay I have done. I sewed the coat myself using an edited matrix pattern. The wig is actually 2 wigs I bought at Kmart that I pieced together and spiked. Just a normal pair of boots, pants, and a shirt underneath. I actually made 4 of the coats for myself and friends so we could do a skit. I managed to do this in about a week sewing time. There were sporadic work times before but pretty much everything flew together in the week just before the convention. My advice? Don't do this. It is a huge stress maker XD
Later I went and made a set of chakrams out of insulation foam. They are getting kind of beat up so I am hoping to make a new set one of these days as well as buy and style a new wig.
