Here's a picture. http://www.google.co...=1t:429,r:0,s:0
I'm wondering if anyone can shed light on what kind of material I should use for the jacket. Thanks!

I'd say a cotton twill would probably be a good choice. It would have enough structure without being heavy/bulky.

Either a twill,heavy poplin, or actually a canvas would work well.

I made this outfit last year, and it has 3 layers: Poplin (top), Canvas (interlining), and Quilters Cotton (actual lining). Makes it super comfy! (and heavy enough that it doesn't wrinkle like crazy either) :D

That sounds so complicated >.<. I have no experience with sewing. There seems to be so much more to it than I thought. Do you do commissions?

I do, but currently I am full up until March.
(I have two projects coming up I'm working on and a masq competition piece, and I still work full-time)

I don't think I'd be able to get it done in time for ACEN for you (with only the 1 month between my first con, and ACEN). :( I run an artist's alley booth, and I need time to create more stock as well.

If you are interested in having it for later after ACEN, I can pass you my information if you'd like. Here's examples of the one I made for myself: Vyse Cosplay

I should still have the mold I used for the lenspatch floating around too. :)
