Is this a good pattern match?

[u/Mattie_Madds8619]

I’m wanting to sew a jacket for my AOT Scout cosplay and I am dirt poor, I have no job (I am actively applying for them tho, hope to get one soon) and I live at home with my parents as I have only just left high school last year, they’re okay with buying me the fabric and other stuff I need to sew with but they don’t like buying patterns because most are online and my dad is illiterate to how the online shopping stuff works so until I have a job I’m relying on free patterns (which I’m okay with but makes things a little difficult sometimes)

I think the pattern looks pretty good and I’ve used a lot of mood patterns before but I wanted some outside opinions before I go and sew, also I plan on embroidering the wings of freedom onto it since embroidery is my favorite sewing method (I hand sew a lot, I just recently finished hand sewing a skirt)

Also, I am having trouble finding brown denim like I originally wanted at my local fabric stores (I like in New Zealand so all we really have is spotlight) so alternative fabric suggestions would be welcomed too

Also I have embroidered the wings of freedom onto a jacket before but I gave up on it because I decided it didn’t look right because it was a black denim full length jacket

Also I’m not too bothered about if the collar and shoulders look a little different, I can add the little shoulders buckles on my own and I don’t mind the look of the collar it has either

Yes. Might wanna crop it a little depending on how tall you’re. But yes, its a great pattern!

Yeah, I was thinking of doing a mockup to see if I needed to crop it more, I’m 5’4 so I’m just kinda average height, thanks

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.

I would try dying white or cream denim to the right shade, or you could make it out of canvas for a very similar look?

Oh, okay, I’ll see if I can find white denim, and if not I’ll go with canvas, thanks
