The video that no cosplayer asked for, but most cosplayers need — let's talk about cosplay crafting safety!!

Soooo... I did a thing.

Twill shell, sherpa fleece lining, nylon core. Silkscreened back, embroidered buttonholes/drawstring holes and pockets. Cinchers on the sleeves to snug them up in cold weather. A loop in the back to hang it up at work. (Embroidery designs are from Urban Threads.)

It is so warm and geeky and I'm super pleased with it and glad I did this instead of just buying a coat, even if it took about a month of my free time and perforated my fingers. I'm excited to start wearing it!
