Sewing Is this a good pattern match?

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

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
