Okk so heres the deal... i'm a huge starkiller fan and Im thinkin about going as starkiller to Con Carolina this june. the thing is, I dont want to go as the typical starkiller uniform. Instead I wnt to go as the costume on TFU 2 when he steals Vader's ship and lands on the planet to save General Kota. Ive been looking everywhere but i havent been able to find any website or anybody who knows where I can get a jacket like that. Anyways , if anybody can tell me where mite be a good place to look besides goodwill... I'd be most appreciative.

Hereswhat the jacket looks like..

Do you know anybody who can draft patterns?  You're gonna need it.  It looks like you could use an Underarmour shirt for the base of it, but I'm not sure about how one could craft the jacket.

This store might be able to help you out.

http://www.legendarycostumeworks.com/index.html

The actual store can be found here:
http://www.corellianimports.com/index.html

I've personally met with the people from this business on multiple occasions, mainly from Comic-Con 2010 and Wonder-Con 2012, and even had the opportunity to purchase 2 products from them in their store, in particular 2 custom leather sleeves which I will try and show someday when I present my make-shift Jaden Korr outfit.

I can tell you first hand that they are very talented and can work with designs such as sketches and drawings.

They can be a little bit pricey, even for little things like maybe boot-gaiters, but despite that, they are very willing to work with you especially if you supply your own leather and whatnot.

I wouldn't be surprised if they could make you your Starkiller jacket right of the bat, or if you supply the base-leather jacket with them adding on all the little additions and whatnot; or they can probably just make the jacket altogether, I'm not really sure, you'd have to ask them, but I'm willing to bet they can do it.

They do, however, have the Starkiller saber-harness seen in FU2, you know, the one where he clips the sabers along his chest?  I saw it first-hand at the store, it looks incredibly authentic and very durable.  I can't seem to find any photos as proof, but I'm sure if you ask about it they'd bring it up.

Their Jedi / Sith tabbards with the custom embroidery are truly unique, as well as their belts which I also had the opportunity to witness firsthand.

Someday, I hope to purchase a Jedi outfit from them.

What I like about it is they are not just mass-produced items like the Jedi boots or robes you see on Museum Replica's or something, they're made pretty much from two people, a guy and girl and they really take sincere consideration into your preferences, much like Ultrasabers I suppose.

Anyways, I hope I'm not being too inappropriate bringing up another company, albeit not a saber-company (although they do sell prop-saber hilts mainly of the steam-punk variety), but a company nonetheless.

I always loved that outfit, totally badass.  The idea in-game is that it's an TIE flightsuit, although it's much more fashionable looking than the stuff worn by your average TIE pilot...

Along those lines, you could look into modifying a black jumpsuit, or otherwise find a similar looking jacket and do some modding.  Personally, I might try the latter (perhaps with some kind of cheap pleather jacket).

That's one option, although you'd end up with a blue jacket instead of black... which would bug me personally.

Not to mention that whole getup looks as though it is made from leather. So Han's jacket wouldn't really do the trick. You could get close, but yeah that small detail would bug me.

We need to get Dave from UD Replicas to make that as a motorcycle suit. lol

When you take the hood off, make sure you hem the place where it came off, or if you don't know how, find someone who can.  Raggedy seams do not look good.

See if you really want an almost exact version you'd have to find a tailor who could make it for you......for like....a couple thousand bucks.....
